Clever Fox Self-Care Journal for Women, Daily Planner 5.8x8.3 Forest Green

I did not realize this journal was only a four month journal. Especially given the size. For some reason, I thought it was for the whole year. I mean at least six months. However, once I got past the four month trauma, I sat down and really looked at the journal. It is well-made, the paper is high-quality, and it has prompts for making it a real wellness journal. The title says self-care, but for me it seems more like goals. I am starting an online yoga instructor training in February. I did not know how I was going to organize my time, or if I would make it a priority. This book arrived just in the nick of time because it forced me to really think about why I was taking the training and I now have a plan of action for how I can complete the training thanks to this journal. As I was going through, it felt like a lot of work, defining my purpose, etc. But that’s part of the process if you’re serious about a goal. I didn’t do it all at once I took several days to do it and I liked that it arrived in January before my class so that I had time to do all of the pre-work. I should also mention I bought this after receiving Clever Fox’s 5 year journal. I bought it knowing it would be a high-quality notebook I think my favorite part of this one is there’s a little sticker of a cat doing yoga.

Life saver. First of all, I’m so glad I found a hard-cover journal!! The cover has such a nice texture too. These pages certainly do not bleed through! I use a black paper mate “marker” pen, and there’s no bleed. It is so fun to use with the different writing prompts, and allows plenty of space to write about your day in general! It does lay flat. I truly love being able to track my sleep hours, screen time, water, caffeine, fruit/veggie, intake, as well as my mood, energy level, and activity level from my day. Right away when I saw “self-care act for the day:”, I was like “oh.. I should actually plan that out and DO it!” Which is exactly what I have been missing in my life. HIGHLY recommend for those who struggle with self-care/love, and emotional struggle.

This is a gorgeous, quality product. Overall, solid A grade. Yes, it’s pricey and there are plenty of cheaper options out there, but this one actually is worth the extra dollars. I’ll be buying other Clever Fox products for myself and as gifts while quietly grumbling the whole time about some of the small details that could be better. Disclaimer: I’m a graphic designer and extremely picky about layout. No, I don’t have time to design my own journal to my exact preferences. Maybe someday. Color accuracy gets a B-. Color choices for the interior content also get a B-. (If I wanted pink, I would have bought the rose gold version.) The whole book would feel more considered if the interior colors were neutral or matched the cover. A missed opportunity. Speaking of cover color: be warned, the yellow reads more like a bright, burnished gold with a metallic shimmer. Pretty, but not quite what I expected. My other issue is the self-care idea list. The layout is genuinely ugly and looks like it was added as an afterthought. Not a great first impression, Clever Fox. Do better. I’m getting out my X-Acto knife and removing those pages entirely. (I also recognize that 98% of buyers will never even notice.)

Love the journal

Love this journal! It's super cute and well organized with different daily prompts. The paper is thick, my pens don't run though at all. Really cute journal to fill out and decorate.

I love Clever Fox! Beautiful suede covers, a pretty logo, a bookmark, stickers, thought provoking questions, instructions, they have well organized lay outs, they come in nice boxes or are wrapped in plastic to protect the journals. With everything all in one handy book, all you need is a pen and time to write. They are more expensive, but not for everything that you get, and they have good sales! This would make a nice gift for someone!

The journal is exactly what I was looking for. Has 4 months of daily tracking and prompts to guide you as well as a monthly calendar and summary to analyze yourself and progress to a better you.

Not the same questions everyday like some of these books. I would remove the daily schedule part but that is personal taste. It is a nice book.

It’s a cute notebook got it as a gift for a friend

Truly helpful during difficult times when you just don't know where to start.

Il est très beau, très riche. Il y a de la place pour écrire, les sujets sont pertinents. Ça me motive d'avoir un carnet comme celui ci. Il est prévu pour un suivi de 4 mois ce que je trouve très bien.

Geweldige journal notebooks. Er staan leuke suggesties in voor Zelfzorg maar er is ook aandacht voor zaken als je stemming, hoe dag is geweest of genoeg water hebt gedronken. Dit is mijn tweede Clever Fox notebook en ik ben er echt tevreden mee.

This was a present for my daughter she just loved this
