Which Lovendu Product is Best For You?
A question we receive A LOT is "which journal is best for me?”, or ‘I currently feel like this [insert feelings here], which journal would be the best?”
I LOVE helping you pick the best journal for you and making sure you have the perfect journaling experience. So I thought I would put together a Journal Guide so to make the decision a lot easier.
Firstly, a lot of people get confused between the journals and planners. So I am going to clear that up! Journals are reflective and more focused on the past or what has happened during the day. Planners are future-focused and written before the day has happened. Journals are better for exploring feelings and dealing with emotions. Whilst planners are better for organisation and to-do lists.
If you are looking for a journal that helps a specific area of concern, please see the image and table below to see the best journal for you:
