Ask before you buy, as we like to say. Well, the first question probably popping into your mind is, "What exactly is Focus Journal?" In simplest terms, it's a notebook that carries a clear layout, devoid of rigid rules, cliché quotes, or how-to-live guides.
This layout is the result of extensive research and in-depth discussions with our community. We have kept things as simple as possible without being prescriptive. We used design to inspire, make plans, be creative and feel excited about getting organised in the way that works for you.
To help you with that, we manufacture two designs: LP100 Discbound Journal and LP120 Field Journal. And this guide will give you a well-rounded idea about them:
