The Five
The Five
Minute Journal
by Intelligent Change
Five prompts, twice a day, for six months.
A linen-bound, undated journal on FSC-certified recycled paper. Mornings: three things you are grateful for, and one affirmation. Evenings: three highlights of the day, and one thing you learned. 264 pages, which is about six months. Because it is undated, a gap costs you nothing.

Where to find it
Intelligent Change direct, checked August 2026. Undated, and it lasts about six months.
Honest by nature
What is inside, and what is never
What is inside
- ✦ 264 pages, undated
- ✦ 100% recycled, FSC-certified, compostable paper
- ✦ 100% linen fabric binding, cotton sew bind
- ✦ A cotton ribbon marker
What is never
- · A date on the page to shame you
- · An app you have to open first
- · Plastic in the cover
- · A prompt that takes more than a minute
What we cannot claim
Intelligent Change points to positive-psychology research behind the prompts. Gratitude journalling does have supporting studies, but effects in this literature are modest and vary a lot between people. Buy it as a five-minute habit that some people find steadying, not as a treatment.

How to use it
How to actually keep it
1
Leave it out
On the kitchen table or beside the kettle. A journal in a drawer is a journal you have quit.
2
Write badly
Three words per line is a complete answer. The prompt is the practice, not the prose.
3
Skip guilt-free
It is undated. Come back on any page, on any day, and nothing is behind.
“I have started and abandoned a dozen journals. This is the only one I have finished, and I think it is entirely because the pages are not dated.”Medina, founder of ETHOS
