It’s a brilliant way to remind yourself of what is positive in your life and to be grateful for those things, and where things require some development along with the actions required to build something you want. It definitely helps to do those tasks we all hate doing by ‘eating the frog’ and great to have some free journalling space. If I had to find something to improve on - some of the boxes are quite small and at times, you want to write a little more. Personally I love the habit tracker. It makes me want to keep it up and continue all the good habits I’m developing.
I bought my journal in mid-December as I'd seen it advertised on Instagram and was curious. It was a bit of an impulse buy, but I wanted to become more organised and loved the colour choices (I plumped for green). It took me until February to actually get around to sitting down, looking at it properly and starting to journal. I haven't looked back and enjoy the process of using my journal throughout each day - my favourite time is snuggled in bed thinking ahead to the following day and reflecting on the day just past - a little bit of calm. I love how it challenges me to plan and reflex whilst thinking about things a bit differently. It's also enabled me to see how I'm developing through it's use and just how strong I am - these last few months of using the journal has supported me through the end stages of divorce. The Monday Mastery emails are really helpful too, though I've only just started to realise that and read them. I'm feeling myself becoming more confident and focused with a positive outlook again. Thanks Evolve!
Love the look of the book and the concept but really struggling to get going, I did some of the first steps but now it is overwhelming, probably not in the best place at the moment. Think it will do me good and trying to be patient with myself.
We’re so glad to hear you love the look and concept. Patience with yourself sounds like it will help conisdering the chapter you're in from what you said.
The journal is designed to be a guide, something you can treat flexibly to work for you, not something to get “perfect” a great starting point can be just picking one or two prompts in a day that jump out and then moving on, starting small often helps to build up the momentum.
Often, the most powerful part comes from taken that small moment in your day to pause, reflect, and be a little kinder to yourself. If you get stuck or need any more specific advice we would be happy to help in any way we can just drop us an email at hello@evolvejourney.co.uk
Enjoy the journey!
No benefit to me whatsoever. I’m grieving my husband and hoped journaling may help but I don’t have the time, energy or mindset to journal. It’s sitting in a drawer unused.
We’re so sorry for your loss.
Grief takes everything out of you, and it’s completely understandable that journaling could feel like a bit too much right now. Don’t feel any pressure to use it. It will always be there when you feel ready.
I wasn’t quite sure if I was going to take to this but I am finding it really beneficial for my mental health. I’m four months in and have really found that it has helped me to un jumble my brain after what has been a chaotic couple of years.
I began using Evolve in February just after a cancer operation. I have tried many other journals before but the structure of this one really suits me. I like it precisely because the sections are clearly delineated and provoke me to address specific questions rather than staring at an expanse of blank page. The quality of the paper is great too, and the fabric binding feels special. Thanks guys for a well considered and lovely product. I’ve been to one of your online masterclasses too and very much enjoyed it. Thank you.
Best purchase I've made for myself this year, it's really helped me focus on what I want to achieve and it's especially helpful with calming the chatter in my head before going to bed. Im sleeping better, more productive and it has helped me become a more positive person in general. It's great knowing my next journal will arrive in time and that i don't need to remember to order a replacement, Absolutely recommend.
Great way to focus on what’s really important… Helping me so much to get the most out of my day and see through the fluff xXx
Got this on a bit of a ‘new year whim’, and I’m so glad I did! It’s a brilliant journal, and has helped me develop, and stick to, new habits! I really like the daily questions, and have one big goal (domino) to focus on for the 6 months is helpful for managing expectations and keep consistent!
Looking forward to getting the next one!
The evolve journal has helped me to figure out my priorities at a time of transition in my life. It also helped me become a productivity ninja 🥷 The customer service is amazing too. My journal was delayed and as soon as I contacted Sam & Freddie they sorted it out immediately.
I highly recommend the evolve journal and the amazing work of Sam and Freddie. Changing the world with the epic evolve journal.
I love my Evolve Journal! I've been using it since December and have had the most productive three months I think I've ever had. I've achieved tasks I have been putting off for years. With the help of the journal I've stuck at tasks until finished, which is giving me a great sense of satisfaction.
I particularly like the quality feel of the book itself & the fact that it's not dated. If I miss a day, I dont have blank pages as you would will a dated diary. No wasted pages. Couldn't be happier with it.
Life was drifting on by. Evolve has helped me become much more focused and aware of the direction I want to go.
Ive been diagnosed with bone cancer, incurable but very treatable. It put a whole new spin and challenge on where I see myself in 5 years time . It's made me feel much more positive and in control. Beautifully designed journal
It took me a while to get used to the way the journal works. But I finally, finally started to eat that frog .... and it feels great!
I absolutely love this journal - it's incredibly well thought out and easy to use. The daily sections are quick to fill in, and I really enjoy taking time to reflect each evening. It's become one of my favourite bedtime routines and has genuinely helped improve my sleep.
My only gripe, and the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is they way the months are structured. Each month only includes 4 weeks of pages, which works for February, but not for the majority of months with 30/31 days. As someone who uses the journal daily (as intended), I end up running out of space before the month is over and this is quite frustrating.
The Evolve Journal has been a godsend! I’ve always been a list maker and have/need an old-style diary to remind myself of what needs doing, but still I found myself procrastinating and deflecting from the hard stuff. This journal has somehow slowed me down, made me think about what I really want and why and enabled me to focus on moving forward in a structured manner. I love it!
This Evole journey has ensured I map my day out. The quotes are thought provoking and habit setting invaluable. Im using the journal to ensure I'm on the right track to become the best version of me...and I believe it's working. I love they layout...it works so well.
I love my journal. I love its simplicity and how it is designed to be a fluid ‘aide-memoir to life’. I tend to look at it first thing in the morning to help set my intentions for the day (and usually before looking at my phone) as well as at night to review the day, add in the highlight and think about the next day…this ritual just seems to work for me. I like the weekly reflections as they make you realise how much you have actually achieved in such a short space of time and the monthly reviews are a great way to reset. I’m half way through my first. Oh and I LOVE the pen!
I've been using my journal for over 2 months now and I love how it gives my days a focus. I particularly like how you are asked to write down your main goal every day, this is so helpful! The quality of the journal is excellent, and it's a pleasure to wrtie in.
I have been using my journal for a month now and genuinely look forward to starting my day with a coffee and completing it. I get to order my thoughts, compile my actions for the day, track the habits I’m forming and note what I’m grateful for. So far so healthy! But, I really appreciate the bigger-picture stuff. The journal gets you to set goals, both short and long term, and I’ve enjoyed the accountability of having my daily journaling keeping me with my eyes on my longer term goals. I was initially wary of the bigger picture bits (I’ve never journaled before) but have actually really enjoyed completing the ‘What I’m Pondering” section each morning, it’s felt good to note down what I’m currently mulling over, no matter how seemingly random.
I have enjoyed using the Evolve journal much more than I ever thought I would and really enjoy the 10 minutes I take each morning to complete it. I definitely feel like I have more clarity and drive based on being able to goal set, organise my thoughts and have the daily check in with what I’m aiming towards.
Thanks Freddie and Sam, I’ll definitely be ordering another when I’ve finished this one. Also, Evolve were flawless on the customer service front. There was a mix up with the courier (on their side of things not with Evolve) and the initial journal never arrived. Communication from Evolve was so speedy (same day!) and a replacement was dispatched at their cost - I’m very grateful! Thank you.
A lovely, tactile journal that is so nice to pick up everyday. Since starting, I’ve noticed a shift in my calm and perspective; it's more than just a planner—it’s a daily invitation to stay grounded. There’s a lot we can learn from these engaging brothers!
It look me a while to work through the first set of exercises but now that I'm into the daily journaling I'm really enjoying it. It's clearly written, an interesting process and, even though it's a daily activity, it doesn't feel onerous or repetitive. Nice quality product too.
Really enjoyed some daily focus, monthly reflections and varied questions to think meaningfully
The Evolve Journal has helped me to find my focus & help my motivation since starting it nearly 2 months ago. It’s now a habit to fill in each morning & evening. I particularly like the ‘why I’m smiling’ prompt, and the ‘daily highlight’ as it gives me a positive at each end of the day.
At the end of each week and month, the journal helps you to take a look at what is working, wins that you’ve had and what to work towards in the next week or month.
I’m enjoying my Evolve journey & working towards my goals. And I look forward to see how far I’ve progressed with them at the end of 6 months.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Honestly, this journal has changed my perspective so much I am in disbelief. The 'Eat the Frog' has been so helpful and now I am setting myself a new frog each month because I'm able to achieve each one in that time. Habit Tracker is also really helpful too. Overall, the process you've developed has made me feel like I'm achieving so much. In many ways I already was, I just couldn't see it. In other ways I just needed to have a clear thought process and make some decisions. That's the most powerful thing of all 🐸
