Journal 10 2013-2023 Review

The Journal 10 just might be that perfect Christmas gift. You probably have one or two people on your list that you dread finding a gift for.You know who I mean. The person who has everything they want and nothing they need.  Are they an overly organized person? Do they need help getting organized? Well if you answered yes to either of these questions then this might just be the perfect gift.
I have a hard time sticking with a journal or diary. I simply do not have the time to write full pages of journal entries. In August I reviewed the Journal 10 2012-2022. I started using the journal and I have found that I can generally keep up with my journal in about 5 minutes or less a day. The sections are organized so well it is fun to write and keep up with health records and appointments. There is a section for Address, important dates and a place to keep automobile records. Such as oil changes tire changes and repair costs. I even keep the due dates for my insurance payments. This is handy because I am very forgetful.

The journal is beautifully bound with a soft leather like cover. It has two book marks to keep your place. Their are many features and sections in the Journal 10+. I will list a few to give you an idea how the journal will help with record keeping, organizing and planning.

Long-Term Planner
Looking Ahead
Goals and Review Pages
Daily Pages (journal/diary)
Carry-Over Pages
Address & Phone Log
Keeping Track Pages (medical/automobile)
Special Dates

I am very happy with my journal. I do not know how I lived with out it. I think the most useful section for me is keeping track for appointments. Not the easy next week appointments. I have a problem with appointments like teeth cleaning at the dentist. When I call to make an appointment they are usually booked ahead at least 6th months. How they expect you to remember an appointment 6 months ahead is beyond me. 
Let me explain the main section the Daily Pages.
This is a diary/record keeper that lasts ten years plus. Each page has a date. For example: Jan. 4th is the date listed at the top. Along the side of the page are the years starting with 2013 and ending with 2023. Each year has four lines to write on for the date of Jan. 4th. If four lines are not enough you are able to make a note in the margin and use a carry over page at the end of the journal. 

Like Journal 10+ on Facebook tho keep up with all the news about Journal 10+.

I received the above mentioned Journal to review in exchange for an honest opinion.

Journal 10 2012-2022 Review

When I was asked to review the Journal 10 I was not sure what to expect. I have been thinking about keeping a journal for my grandchildren. My one worry is that I would be to busy to keep up with a proper journal. I have found the answer to that problem. The Journal 10 is a journal for busy people.
I will try to explain how this journal works. This is a record keeper that lasts ten years plus. Each page has a date. For example: Aug. 23rd is the date listed at the top. Along the side of the page are the years starting with 2012 and ending with 2022. Each year has four lines to write on for the date of Aug. 23rd. If four lines are not enough you are able to make a note in the margin and use a carry over page at the end of the journal.

I like writing but at times I don't have so much to say and a regular journal is very intimidating with a full empty page to fill. With just four lines to fill I will be able to jot down a few meaningful lines and keep on with my busy day.
There are many other features in this journal that make it unique. In the beginning of the pages you will find a long-term planner with a page for each year. The page has two columns one for goals and one for accomplishments. After the long-term planner you will find a 12 year calendar. Then comes the main journal section. There is a monthly overview page preceding each month. You will see a column for each year with a small space for each day of the month. This can be used to jot down a key word for special entries. This will make it easy to find special events you have written about. This section can also be used to record your weight, temperature, calorie count or blood pressure readings. After the journal pages you will find the carry-over pages I mentioned. Then an address book complete with spacing for address changes, phone numbers, fax and cell phone.
You would think this was all there could be to this journal but it keeps on going. The next section is for record keeping. The pages have two columns. One is marked for medical recording and one for automobile records.
Last but definitely very important. A special dates section. This is a great place to record birthdays, anniversaries, and other important events. Just imagine being able to look back easily and find the date of a certain event with out much effort at all.
The journal is beautiful bound and has two book marks to keep your place. I have not found a better journal myself. I plan to purchase a few for gifts. I know my children will like keeping one for family records.
