Intelligent Change earns strong reviews for journals that genuinely help users build mindfulness and gratitude routines, with The Five Minute Journal praised for simple, structured prompts, inspiring quotes, and beautiful linen design. Reviews also flag drawbacks: the app feels cluttered, paper can attract pet hair or bleed ink, prompts grow repetitive, and some products (like a Leonie Hanne planner) feel uninspired.

  • Absolutely love this journal. I don't feel pressured or ashamed if I miss a day or two because I can input a new date each page. The quotes are really inspiring and practicing gratitude has definitely helped me see the good in each day and pause and reflect. Highly recommend for anyone who needs to slow down.

  • I had seen The Five Minute Journal EVERYWHERE so I decided to try these out when they were featured on ThingDrop! I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of all the items I received, as well as the variety of products they offer. The Quarterly Productivity Planner has been really fun to use, and I actually find it’s useful in my day to day. I also ordered some mantra cards (love them for morning alignment) and the “warrior” daily journal that I have yet to tear into! I can see myself gifting any of these items from this brand often in the future and will be recommending them to everyone I can!

  • I received my products so quickly - I think they shipped it through Amazon shipping services so that was a nice surprise. So far, I've started the 3x happier journal and done some of the Life Designer and I've really enjoyed both. For the 3x happier journal I love that it explains exactly why you're doing what each day and gives you examples and ideas (like for example for thanking someone, which you do in the mornings, it gives you ideas how you can thank them). For the Life Designer I have loved how thought provoking it has been so far - during the first few prompts I did I actually decided I'm going to book myself a little weekend away and work on it during that time - like a little retreat with myself which I CANNOT wait for.

  • The brand overall is a 4. This journal is a 2. I have been a fan of the Intelligent Change for several years and have owned everything from their journals to my continued use of the 5 minute a day app. For that reason alone, I jumped on the opportunity to get this life&style planner. I have no idea who Leonie Hanne is but I’m not impressed with the work they do given how unimpressive and unoriginal this planner is. Leaving its audience uninspired. The only thing I really like about this planner is its size. But since it’s almost the same thing as the app, save yourself the space and the money. This product is way too overpriced. You are paying for a name few recognize.

  • Aesthetic and Giftable! I bought this as a small gift for the guy who has everything, and it definitely checks the box for a well-designed, elevated stocking stuffer. It’s a pretty pen with a nice weight to it and feels a bit more special than your average office supply. Perfect for someone who appreciates design and small daily luxuries.

  • Journaling has always been tremendously helpful for me, but actually being able to commit to a routine and actually carve the time out has become increasingly difficult as I've gotten older. What I love about the Five Minute Journal is that it's totally manageable... everyone has 5 minutes. And it's effective... the guidance provided and the prompts given are effective and well-worth the time investment. I wish the journals were priced a bit more affordably, but they are well worth the investment.

  • The 5 Minute Journal is such a beautiful tool to bring more mindfulness and gratitude into daily life. I love how simple and structured it is — it makes journaling feel easy and doable, even on busy mornings. The only downside for me is the paper material: I have cats, and their hair tends to stick to the pages quite easily. A slightly smoother finish would make it perfect. Overall, I’m really happy with it — it looks great on my nightstand and has definitely made me more consistent with reflecting on my day.

  • I own The 5-minute journal for a few years and give it to people as gifts. It's a beautiful book that looks nice on the nightstand and the practice of writing inside of it is just a beautiful morning start. It's simple yet very powerful.

    The app is not as simple and clean as the journals design, feels quite overwhelming and doesn't have the same effect as the journal itself.

  • I used to be an avid journal writer, and fell off over time. My 5 Minute Journal has made me fall back in love with the process, starting and ending my day with gratitude and intention. Been essential in my journey as an entrepreneur and pageant titleholder.

  • I've been using "The Five-Minute Journal" for about a year now. I'm so happy that I've found this brand on Amazon and purchased with my own money. For the longest time, I wanted to get into journaling and this journal helped me on so many levels. Each day, there is a quote that you read to help you get into the mood of writing your submission for the day. I've found using this journal to helped me with my depression as well. I literally, take my journal with me everywhere I go and I will be purchasing more in the near future.

    I love the aesthetic and linen cover. No need to change anything. An excellent tool for someone who is new to journalling or mindfulness.

  • I recently got a Five Minute Journal, and instantly knew this would change my mindset. I wanted accountability so I purchased another for my partner and we do it together in the morning and evening. We've both noticed it significantly improved our days and we look forward to writing in it.

  • Since I can remember journaling has been a part of my life, I’ve expressed myself with writing down stories and life lessons and so on, these days where theres so much going on in the world people often have the time to journal big pages because it takes too much time thats why this journal is a must have for all of those journal enthusiasts who want to try something quick and on the go the five minute journal has a morning and night routine helps you manifest with affirmations that can help you think out of the box for the desires and so on it really takes five minutes so I suggest to try it, it has helped me and it can help you too❤️

    I would love an aesthic app. Sometime when you are starting your journey, an app is easier.

  • I thoroughly liked my 5 minute journal to the extent I got myself to use it! Habit building is the toughest part, but they do their part in making it as easy and compelling as possible. Highly recommend that product and imagine others are quality too

  • I purchased this as a way to bring mindfulness into my everyday. Overall I have found it has had a great impact on my habits and routines. I personally struggled with staying away from sugar and it helped me build on that habit. I also like how it is simple and quick and allows me to briefly reflect each day. I really enjoyed the beginning of the journal and how it starts with 5 days to initially get you to commit and the directions of how to use it.

    Feedback

    I would have more prompts around daily affirmations for users. I tend to get stuck in the same ones.

  • I love my five minute journal - it's lasted me many years (due to my inconsistency using it) but its still a great go-to. I've brought it with me many places and i love the simplicity of the routine.

  • I really love my Five Minute Journal. I just bought my second one, and it has helped me take the time to appreciate my life and introspect. It pushes me to identify even one good thing that's happened on my worst days, and I love having such a simple but important habit as part of my routine.

    Make each journal have enough space for a full year! And maybe more colors for the covers!

  • I have the gratitude journal which has sections for both morning and night, which is perfect-- just enough space for thoughtful, productive reflection and gratitude, twice a day, but not sooooo much to fill out that you end up getting overwhelmed and blowing it off. Perfect if you want to be a journal person but the blank page is too daunting and you find yourself struggling to stick with that practice. No shame in a little help!
