    I've been using the 2022 planner and love it - the texture of the paper is so smooth and beautiful. I love the sustainability aspect of the notebook <3

    Received a free product from Karst

    Purchased the stone diary/weekly planner and loved the simplistic design. Sensory wise- the outer cover, smoothness and lightweight feel of the pages were satisfying. I rather enjoyed the thematic addition, it can be a great motivator for those into that kind of stuff. It bundles everything you want in a diary really; monthly snapshots to plan quickly, yearly overlooks (including the following year), space for daily/weekly info (an almost to-do list feel with it). In that regard would be perfect for those trying to achieve/fulfill a certain goal- given it's inclusion of motivation, tick circles, reflection and goal setting spaces. My preference for gel pens is not going to cut it as I did have some smudges, but my eco ballpoint pens and pencils were just fine. Scratches and pricks do show up noticeably on the cover, but the textured look isn't too much of a problem. Ideally would lower the price to around $30-39. Will likely repurchase next year and am excited to try their journals later on (like the option of choosing lined/blank, etc).

    I love my neutrals, but would like the option to buy the black/ebony planner on it's own. I was annoyed that a product with sustainability at its core came wrapped in plastic and bubble wrap (in an eco-friendly parcel bag), seems counterproductive, customer service stated they were in the midst of trialing an alternative. Would like to personalise bundle colour options for journals rather than buy 2 of the same colour. If possible make compatible with different pens.

    I have bought the Praxis set of 3 books and my feelings are mixed... Thanks to thinktesting I got a 15% discount (THANKS!!!), but still I have paid 85€ for three "planners" that could have been gathered in just one (there are a few pages that are identical amongst the books). The mindfulness book has exercise for every day, great! Unfortunately most of them are coloring pages! In the habit and gratitude books the same 3 questions are repeated for about 100 pages... Sure, the method says we need to set time in our day to pause and reflect, but so why not proposing flexible format like rings? The price should be justified by the quality of the books and the wood-free pages, but still the package arrived ripped (it is specified "handled with care"!!!) and in my opinion the covers quality is not so high. Colours are very nice and I bought the set not only for the esthetics but because of the scientific based help for mental health. As I have just received them, I cannot say more, but I will update this review in 3 months (otherwise it means it was really unuseful!).

    Merge the 3 books in only one and maybe having it on rings, no hard covers, so that it would be possible to add more pages as needed.

    +1 for inventiveness, but I didn't enjoy writing on the paper. It felt dusty and was slow to write on.
