Journaling is a widely touted method for clarifying your own thoughts and feelings, activating both sides of your brain, problem solving, and reducing those intrusive thoughts I like to call brain hamsters. Coloring is a fantastic stress reliever for many people and can encourage mindfulness. Planners have been useful for many people to stay organized, particularly students and humans with deadlines (also known as everyone). The Hero’s Journal employs a multitude of science based techniques to support you on your quest with their journals. The original ‘Hero’s Journal.’ Image courtesy The Hero’s Journal.

Self-identified nerds, these heroes eventually worked together to Kickstart the original Hero’s Journal in 2019 and have since helped over 20,000 heroes do the same.

The journal came about as two college friends, Nick and Kyle, discovered overlapping needs for something that could help them manage their time, organize their thoughts and assignments, and reframe their own stories in a more positive light. Somehow, a quest seems way cooler than a mere goal, right? Every part of this journal has been thoughtfully crafted with you, a hero, in mind. The introductory pages help you define a quest to set upon. It’s a story, with you as the protagonist. The Hero’s Journal is more than a planner or a journal. Their newest offering, Istoria Magic Academy, is the next evolution of a system that is ideal for parents and kids. The Hero’s Journal promised to deliver planning, journaling, and coloring all in one package, and it follows through with that promise in spades. The Hero’s Journal, however, changed the story for all of us. I’ve introduced my children to some productivity tools and coloring, but I’ve never had any luck with encouraging interest in journaling. I love planners, journals, and all matters of productivity enhancers. New to Kickstarter? Check out our crowdfunding primer, and visit our Kickstarter curated page for more projects we love.
