I quite like this diary as someone who isn’t great at making habits. Only takes a few mins as it says on the front. Would be great to have a few more ‘goals’ in their, like daily goals, weekly goals at the beginning of the week, and perhaps a random thoughts page. Overall, would buy again!
I bought this book because a few months ago I was feeling quite low and despite not really being a ‘gratitude diary kinda person’ felt at the time that I had to do something so gave it a go.
Honestly it’s really helped and having now completed it it’s amazing how much you gain from doing something like this daily.
Whether you like journaling or not these 6 questions each day feel achievable and there is no pressure to write reems of info, keep it short and focused. I particularly liked the extra questions you get every 5 weeks that are really thought provoking.
Having to document something means you put the effort into changing your behaviour and attitude and it also then forms a lovely momento of your journey and I’m in the process now of reading all I’ve put over the last few months. It’s so interesting to look back at the highs and lows and shifts.
I highly recommend this little book if you are feeling low, lost, negative or generally feel you could do with some support to shift your mood.
This is a beautiful book. It is a joy to use and really is quick and easy to use daily. Plenty of helpful information to read written by the author. Really insightful content. I have tried lots of journals in the past and this is by far the best.
I highly recommend this journal and I will buy another once mine is completed. Excellent value for money.
This is by far the best diary/journal I have ever seen and used in my life. Is perfectly crafted, full of very well thought of and intentional content and the quality of the journal is great. Will buy again when I finish it.
What a beautiful , wonderful , helpful diary ..
I felt amazing after reading the first few pages !! I can’t wait to get into this well written , Comforting diary .. it’s given me an outlook of hope for my mental health . That yes I can actually feel better over time !!
I’m going to buy more of these diary’s as gifts for my friends ThAnkyou
I used this book during a period of anxiety at the beginning of lockdown. I genuinely believe it had a dramatic impact on my overall mood and perspective on life. The introductory sections provide the ‘why’, which gave me the confidence to continue with the book. This helps your brain maintain a focus on the positives and focus on what is important. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Disclaimer: I was already a daily gratitude “practitioner” before getting this diary. What I really like is the simplicity to implement. All you need is 3m in the morning and 3m in the evening, that’s it. For me shifting thinking about gratitude in the morning and making me thing how I can be in control of my day before I actually start the day itself was really impactful. A lot of the planners out there function as “calendar” based, but most people have their calendar in their phones / email. I wanted something to allow me to retrospect and keep an eye on the positive habits I want to implement and this diary is precisely what I was after.
Also love the weekly questions and challenges, which so far have not been repetitive. I wish there was a version just to keep it going without the intro of the concepts for those of us that just want to carry this on.
I will probably buy the kids edition too for my 7y old
I love The Miracle Morning – I will continue to use it and to recommend it every time I can, because I know how good it is.
But The 6-Minute Diary is in a different plane — deeper, wiser, more inspiring and revealing. The prompts are so well thought-out that in just the space of a week I have made two discoveries that completely reframed important aspects of my productivity and my relationships. The 6-Minute Diary is also much more pleasant to work with -and to look at- than The Miracle Morning — much as I love it, The Miracle Morning has all the charms of an accountant’s spread sheet (and they haven’t bothered to improve the layout in years) whereas The 6-Minute Diary has been crafted and designed with an artist’s sensibility. Am I being superficial by pointing out such things? I don’t think so. This is a tool you will be using every single good or bad, happy or sad day of the year, so it only helps that it is a beauty to open and look at. I know the beautiful pages make me more thoughtful and considerate when I write in themi.e. they nudge me to think harder before I spoil their pristine surface. Is it only me? If you had to scribble a note, however short and simple, would it make any difference if you were writing on the corner of the back page of yesterday’s newspaper or on a sheet of lovingly prepared vellum? This is what I mean — you’d force yourself to think a bit deeper before you spoiled the page. And that only helps when reflection is the whole point of the exercise.
I have read hundreds of Self-Help books, and taken too many courses. I have certificates on NLP, Mindfulness and Erikssonian Hypnosis, read and written extensively on Psychoanalisis, Theory of Knowledge and CBT. And this is why I can say that the 64-page introductory section that Dominik Spenst has prepared for The 6-Minute Diary –which you could skip, but I would urge you to read attentively- is the briefest, more engagingly written and scientifically supported introduction to the topics of Positive Psychology, Habits and Self-Reflection anywhere. I was already impressed by this when a few days after I bought the Diary, Mr Spenst sent me via email a very pretty and useful pdf titled The Golden Morning Routine, which he personally sends to all customers, and which comprises five scientific arguments for the beneficial effect of a morning routine, as well as examples of the morning routines of 25 successful people, from politicians and other pop stars to Marcus Aurelius, Stephen Covey and Immanuel Kant.
The 6-Minute Diary promises to be “a priceless journey into the most exciting and emotional realms of your own memory” and to allow you to “follow the footsteps of your personal evolution”(p.15). I believe it will deliver. Having only used it for a week, I’m already looking forward to more discoveries with The 6-Minute Diary as my companion.
