Overview

A5 morning and evening journal inserts that frame your day with gratitude, from your first coffee to the moment you switch off the light. You get 18 undated pages of soft prompts for A5 or Half Letter ring binders and discbound planners, and print-and-cut A4 and Letter versions are included too. It's an instant PDF download.

The routine is short on purpose, so it fits even the fullest days.

How the A5 morning and evening journal builds a gentle habit

Mornings start with three things you're thankful for, what would make the day great and an I am affirmation. Evenings close with three amazing things, one soft lesson, your mood and a single word for the day. When time is short, the compact page fits both routines on one page and adds an energy scale from 1 to 5.

To stay motivated without feeling pushed, you can look back on each week by ticking morning and evening circles, follow a streak across 30 days, and color your mood for every day of the month. The 14 mm inner margin switches sides between odd and even pages, so double-sided copies open as proper spreads. Since nothing is dated, print fresh daily pages whenever you run low.

Who these journal inserts suit

  • Anyone using an A5 six-ring binder, a Half Letter binder or a junior discbound planner who'd like an easy gratitude routine
  • Busy people who want a peaceful beginning and a gentle close to the day in only a few minutes
  • Anyone forming a journaling habit who enjoys a streak tracker and a month-long mood view
  • Planner lovers who want gratitude and affirmation pages right beside their daily inserts

Design and printing

  • Elegant and minimal, white pages with soft blush pink details that save ink
  • Wide margins on all pages, so a home printer won't cut anything off
  • Portrait A5 at 148 x 210 mm and Half Letter at 5.5 x 8.5 in, with print-and-cut sheets for A4 or US Letter
  • No dates, so begin on any day of any year
  • Mirrored margins: 14 mm for binding sits on the left of odd pages and the right of even ones, 8 mm on the outer edge
  • Writing lines 6.5 mm or more apart and text at 8.5 pt or larger, comfortable on a small page
  • Each print-and-cut sheet is marked with a dashed middle line and small ticks, so a single cut leaves you with two pages
  • Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or ask a print shop to spiral bind it

Good to know

  • These are PDFs made for printing, not a hyperlinked digital planner. You can still import them into most note taking apps and write on the pages.
  • This is a digital download, and nothing will be shipped.
  • Colors can look a little different on paper than they do on screen.
  • For personal use only. Please don't share, resell or redistribute the files.
  • Digital files can't be returned, but if a file won't open or print correctly, email us and we'll help right away.
  • Every binder brand spaces its rings a little differently, so we didn't print punch marks. Your own A5 6-hole, junior or disc punch goes along the roomy inside margin.
  • This journal supports personal reflection and wellbeing. It is not therapy or medical advice and doesn't replace a qualified professional.

Questions

Questions about the A5 morning and evening journal

How long does the routine take each day?

Just a few minutes. Three short prompts in the morning and three in the evening, or one compact page on busy days.

Which pages do I print most often?

Most people keep a pile of pages 6 and 7, the morning and evening pair, or of the compact days on pages 8 and 9. Printing them double-sided and flipping on the long edge works nicely.

Is there a streak tracker?

Yes, a 30-day tracker with an AM and a PM circle for each day, plus check-ins on days 7, 14, 21 and 30.

Is it dated?

No. The pages are undated, so you can start on any day and reprint as needed.
