What is a good Mindfulness Journal Planner ?
I am digging deeper into Mindfulness, so little I know about ... from its origin in the 70s with Thich Nhat Hanh as the father of Mindfulness, he published the book "The Miracle of Mindfulness" in 1975.
Time flies by ...
For now I use a normal notebook, just blank pages. Yet, it ends in a total chaos. I mix up all different topics (from daily planning, ideas, financial issues, notices of webinars etc. ...).
I think about a "blank book" being used as "Mindfulness Journal Planner". Yet, there are so many in the market.
So first I like to learn from your own experiences as money is tight and there are so many different parameters:
1.) What page prints are best ? (blank, lined, checkered)
2.) What size (paperback, hardcover, tradebook) ? DINA4, DINA5, DINA6. I think in US there are inches, e.g. Hardcover: 9×6 inches – 229 x 152 mm or 11×8.5 inches - 279 x 216 mm
and for Softcover: 8.00 × 10.00 in (20.32 × 25.40 cm)
3.) Binding ? (e.g. spiral, linen back)
4.) special features: e.g. perforated pages
5.) added features in a mindfulness planner ?
- Daily reminders (e.g. one mindfulpractise for each day of the week)
- Basic hints (overview) about mindfulness technics, e.g. breathing, meditation walking ...
- daily quotes
6.) Number of blank pages ? E.g. 100, 200, 300
7.) Softpaper or Hardcover in gloss, gloss-matte or matte ? (matte mostly you can see the finger prints)
8.) How much should I spend ? - Should I buy for every month or quarter (3 months) another journal to keep it organized ?
9.) Others ??
Tks in advance sharing your experience.
