The key is consistency. With its thoughtful features and a structure to help you focus on what’s good, you will find The Five Minute Journal app to be a great way to start and end your day.

Journaling as a tool for self improvement

I started using the journal about 6 months ago, writing one liners under each section, over a short time I begun to journal the details and highlights of my entire day, I find the writing in detail under “Amazing things that happened today” really quite fun and insightful, I’ve learned how chronic my procrastination is/was and I use the scribing as a learning tool now around my attitudes, habits, beliefs, expectations, thinking and behaviour. I know a number of people including myself have struggled with 3 “things you’re grateful for today” at first I found I was repeating the same gratitude over and over however over time I have found this has caused me to think much more deeply about gratitude and to broaden my thinking around being grateful. It took me a couple of months to get into the swing of writing everyday (I do miss the odd day here and there) but now I look forward and enjoy going over my day and writing about it in detail. I believe this needs to be fun and not a chore. Happy Journaling “Change is a process not an event”

Developer Response ,

So glad to hear that your consistent gratitude practice over the last 6 months with the Five Minute Journal app has allowed you to think more deeply into all the things around you and in your world that you are grateful for each day. If you put the work in, change will happen, and great things may just come of it. Enjoy your journey ahead with it!

This has added value to my life

All I will say is, in my opinion it was worth getting into the habit of filling out a gratitude journal like this one morning and night. Time seems to have slowed down as my awareness has increased over the events and challenges that arise from day to day. I can enjoy the little things in life as well as the bigger things and I take nothing for granted anymore, not even the air that I breathe. I also love the daily inspirational quotes which often seem to be very relevant to current life situations. Thank you Mimi and Alex. Anita and I also love your podcasts, we listened recently to the one with lazo freeman and we enjoy doing the kids gratitude journal before bed with our 3 year old son.

Disappointed

I loved this app and have been completing it every day for the last 5 months. It has become part of my morning and evening routine. But yesterday morning I find the app has been updated. When I tried to log in it created me a whole new account (despite me clicking that I already had an account) and told me I needed to pay £22! I emailed the developer and got an automated response saying that I have probably created a duplicate account and that I could just delete it and all would be well. I have done that but it still won’t log me in. It recognises my email and tells me that I get a free upgrade but then when I click to continue it tells me it doesn’t recognise my email. Clearly the developers know they have messed up hence the automated email but when will this be fixed? I have lost all my data and don’t want to pay £22 when I already had a premium account.
Also, £22? for the upgrade. The app was perfect as it was. The developers have got greedy. £4.99 for the app was great and I recommended it to lots of my friends. I won’t be recommending at that price.
Please fix the accounts!

Developer Response ,

We're very sorry to hear of your disappointment with the update. We've worked very hard to implement all sorts of new features that have been requested by users over the years. With all these updates, in order to maintain a sustainable future for the Five Minute Journal app, we did have to make adjustments to the pricing structure.

Please bear with us as we have a very high volume of emails and kindly expect a reply in 24-72 hours. We're committed to helping everyone of you get back in.
