365 days. 5 years. 1,825 moments captured. In her best-selling book The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin discovers the pleasure of writing just one sentence every day. The Happiness Project One-Sentence Journal helps you to make a fascinating and revealing time capsule of the next five years of your life. Simply turn to today’s date, reflect on the quote at the top of the page, and jot down just one sentence (perhaps about something good that happened that day). This daily ritual is highly do-able and provides a striking sense of accomplishment, and as the years go by you can see how your entries evolve.

The practice of writing, even just one sentence a day, can be a powerful tool in gaining perspective on your happiness, fulfillment and pleasure.
This book is laid out so that you log one sentence a day for five years, and you cycle back through the journal each year to do so. This means Your five Feb. 14 entries will be on the same page, one under the other. Having just started this particular journaling practice, I'm not sure how I will feel about rereading the journal this way, but have been enjoying the invitation to maintain a brief daily journaling practice.

I bought this book for myself and for my daughter. We are both huge fans of Gretchen Rubin and her happiness project. I thought it would be a nice way to quickly journal ideas and blessings. But the book, while well made and attractive, is too small to be able to easily write in. I find I am scrunching my handwriting so I have room to write enough of a thought to make it meaningful.
I have made the commitment to doing this for at least a year, but I find it more frustrating than fun. I can't imagine doing it for the full 5 years.

Great idea for busy people or those who need to realize the good in their lives

I bought one for myself, my bff, and my hubby. Sometimes in our fast-paced lives, we forget to write down what happened that day. This covers five year's worth of daily things in one or more short sentences. I can't wait to look back on these, especially when my young children are older!
I can't wait to use it starting next week!

This is a compact little journal, cheerful and enjoyable to use. Each page has a different quote at the top.
While the whole point is to summarize your day, there are several lines for each of the 5 years that the journal will record, so you can actually write a couplefew sentences, if you need to.
I try to be positive when I write my sentence at the end of each day...
I've added stickers throughout my journal to brighten and personalize it. I look forward to writing in it. I bought one for my sister, too, and so it's kind of nice knowing that each evening she's writing in hers, often when I'm writing in mine.
I write haiku, so I like the idea of choosing words carefully, and saying just enough to give an overview of my day. It's almost like a newspaper headline...

This is a great journal, but I gave it four stars because it's a tad difficult to write in. The spaces aren't too big and it'd be a lot easier to work with if it were a paperback/softcover

I'm a big fan of the Happiness Project book and website, and I really liked the concept of this journal. However, I was disappointed to discover that it isn't standard-sized book (I didn't pay attention to the dimensions before buying...). The book is very thick and small, which makes it difficult to open and hold the pages back for writing. The lines for writing are also very close together; I prefer not to "cram" my words.

This book is getting me in the habit of reflecting on my day. I'm not much of a writer, so I appreciate the book for its simplicity.

Love this! It is perfect for the busy person who loves to journal or capture gratitude, but who needs a reasonable way to do it! I love how you can compare one year to the next and the book is a perfect size to sit on your night stand, get packed in a suitcase or carry with you in a work bag. I've since give this to many friends for gifts!

Ordered three more!
Bought four as gifts. Great because all that's needed is one sentence per entry. Great when all you need is a simple record of the past. Very small, easy to carry.
