Pursuit Goal Journal

I've been hunting for a decent goal journal for a while and was suspicious this one would be like many others I've tried to get into over the past few years which for my purposes were always either too busy on the page or overwhelming on design. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. First, it's set up for 6 months instead of a full 12. And I can write in the months and dates so it's not on a set year like a planner is set up. It's definitely nicer for me to manage and the interior design is incredibly nice looking. I liked the aspect of breaking it all down into segments. Being able to see the goals I have as well as all 7 days of the week together is extremely helpful to me personally. I also like that each week has a section where you can reflect on your thoughts as well. The actual durability of the journal is also better than I expected. It feels professional. The little encouragement quotes are also delightful and I definitely will be buying a second one of these journals closer to the end of the 6 months I have in this one.

It's insanely easy to lose focus and forget why you're working towards a goal today, especially when it's several years in the making. That's why I'm using this as a 1-3 month planner to help me stay focused on working towards my LSAT retake for this law school admissions cycle. My only regret with this product is that they don't seem to offer shorter books for things like this.I've used at least 5 different planners in college, and while this wouldn't be ideal for planning out the more specific aspects of your day (like standard hour-to-hour planners) this is amazing for the more broad-based planning that is crucial in reaching goals.It's small enough to fit in my wife's purse and small enough for backpacks/briefcases. I was apprehensive about getting anything spiral bound since after a week of daily use, they tend to have pages getting loose and torn out. So far it's holding up really well. Pages are durable. I've been using sharpie felt-tipped pens and there's no bleed-through or issues with dry time. You can write what you need then flip the book closed. Nothing makes it onto other pages.The set-up on this is simple enough to do daily without being a burden and it has enough content so it's keeping me thinking about why I'm working on the goal in the first place.I'd highly recommend this for anyone working on a goal that needs a little help in keeping the basics in view.I'll probably continue using this planner weekly (once I get a new one) to help me stay focused while in law school on the personal development/career/marriage stability side of things while also using a standard hour-to-hour planner to keep up with the detail work.Good luck on working towards your goals!

I’ve tried several goal-oriented journals / planners, and this one is my favorite by a mile. Other planners mean well by having you extensively plot out every hour of the day, map out your feelings, and a bunch of other things. What I often found was I spent too much time writing about my goals and not enough time actually DOING them. This planner avoids over-complicating the process and encourages realistic goals. It is formatted in such a way that you can see your progression and adjust accordingly in the event you needed to take a day off or re-calculate your time tables.This pursuit journal is way more streamlined than other products and covers 6 months without any pre-set dates (which means you don’t have to worry about wasting several months /pages of the journal). You take about 10 minutes plotting out the week, and 2 – 3 minutes tops on the day-to-day stuff. At the end of the week it gives you a couple of pages for notes, recaps, and adjustments for anything you want to change. It’s helped me stay on target with my first major project, and I’ve already purchased a second one to continue mapping out the next phase.If you’ve struggled with organizing major projects and have struggled with bloated journaling systems, I highly recommend you give this more streamlined one a shot.

My husband decided on this one between two I gave him as a gift. He wanted something simple without all the extra specific times, details, etc.. and with a lot of space/pages for notes so ultimately it’s why he kept this one over another. It’s a great beginners goal journal to keep things simple. It’s not overwhelming with a lot of details to fill in. Easy to fill out and straight to the point so you can actually spend more time sooner focusing on your goal rather than waste time writing down every minor detail about your goal. That’s the point of these anyway. This one is great with Simplified pages to organize your goals and plans leaving you with extra time to follow through. The pages are the best thing about it and worth buying if you’re looking for what I described. Only thing that would make it 5 stars is if it had a loop to hold a pen, a ribbon to mark the page left off on, and hardcover would be a bonus. Also, I feel $15 would be a more accurate price since it doesn’t provide any of those features and is very plain looking. Overall the page content was good enough to overlook that other stuff I listed.

Great journal to keep you on track and even see where you may be procrastinating.Definitely great for people like me who have ADHD brains and can't stay on track. It helps you refine what's important and get that stuff done first.Highly recommend 👌
