The "Habit Journal" is a tool designed to help individuals understand and change their habits to bring about positive change in their daily lives. It comes in a variety of cover designs. Some versions combine features of a dot grid notebook, a daily journal, and a habit tracker. These journals often include prompts and guidance for committing to habit changes over a period, such as 31 days, followed by a review section and space for additional habit guides and trackers.
Several manufacturers and creators offer habit journals. Kurzgesagt offers a journal containing scientific explanations, a tutorial, and illustrations. Baronfig, in partnership with an expert, produces a journal that combines a dot grid notebook, daily journal, and habit tracker. Mål Paper is known for its minimalist design and high-quality paper. Other manufacturers include Cangnan South Print, Steel Petal Press, and LSW London.
Key features often include habit trackers, space for goal setting, daily entries for progress tracking, and motivational content. Some journals offer visual tracking methods, such as charts or graphs, to monitor progress. Journals may also include sections for defining habits, creating execution plans, and personalizing the journal to suit individual preferences. Some feature high-quality paper suitable for journaling and sewn binding that allows the journal to lay flat.
