Customer Joy

by Michael Wilkes May 27, 2017

I feel very lucky to have a customer like Sallie Duncan. She wrote an effusive review of my product and shared her joy at finding it. I go back to read it from time to time just for the sheer energy she gives me as a product creator…

"This. This is the most perfect, most beautiful notebook EVER. I absolutely love this journal! … I use this journal at work, and it brings me so much joy. If you love leather, get this. If you love classy things, get this. If you love a notebook/journal/diary that opens easily and lays flat: BUY THIS!!! You need this journal in your life. Seriously, I could hug this thing. The details on the cover are well done, and the entire journal is a pleasure to have and write in… I love it! I am so glad that I bought this. That’s right. I bought it. I didn’t get it for free, didn’t get it as a gift, I was online shopping and found this beauty on my own somehow and made the decision to buy it. I am so glad that I did!
Go on. You know you want it/need it. You will not regret this purchase!"

Sallie — wherever you are — thank you so much for being a customer and sharing your joy with the world!

12 Essential Things to Track in your Gardening Journal

by Jacki Andre April 15, 2019

A gardening journal is a valuable tool in figuring out what works best in your own garden. It will be most insightful if kept over several consecutive seasons. Because figuring out what works best takes a lifetime to fine-tune, really. Even long-time gardeners experiment with new varieties, struggle with newly-introduced pests, or need to adapt to changing weather patterns. Tracking things like your garden layout, important dates, seed/plant performance, weed control, and expenses can help you max out your garden's bounty.

Cognitive Journaling: A New Way to Boost Happiness

by Jacki Andre March 26, 2019

Cognitive journaling is a pretty new concept, developed by Dr. Richard Ragnarson. It is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, which aims to give people the tools they need to become their own therapists. With those tools, they can learn how to recognize their own distorted thought patterns and how to move towards happier, healthier thoughts. Cognitive journaling can provide the same tools and benefits, and best of all, it can be done on your own (though it is more effective when done under the guidance of a licensed therapist).

8 Tips on How to Start and Organize an Idea Journal

by Jacki Andre March 06, 2019

If you’re thinking that idea journals are for fully-formed, brilliant, world-changing ideas, stop right there. Idea journals are for all kinds of ideas, including those that need to be incubated for awhile. These journals can include all kinds of things, such as daily goals, achievements, observations, quotes, artwork, and ephemera. They're not so much about fully fledged ideas as they are about inspiration.
