2019 One Line A Day: A Five-Year Memory Book

Couldn’t recommend enough
I bought this book 4.5 years ago now and have waited until now to do a review. I bought this as my grandma had one to help her remember past events etc. I bought mine when I was 15 and I am about to turn 20 and I can honestly say I have really enjoyed documenting what I do every day, and looking back on what I have done days previously. I will definitely buy another at the end of this one as I have found it highly therapeutic to add my writing into my routine, and as it is only 5 lines it is not as big of a commitment as a normal diary, I really have to think hard as to what has been important to me that day to write down. This is such a lovely idea for anyone who has poor memory, wants to set personal goals in their life, is nostalgic or just likes to have structure / routine to their days. This book has become as much of my daily routine as cleaning my teeth and I have found it therapeutic over the years to write a short sentence or 2 before bed summarizing my day whether that be important events, thoughts for the day or just mundane everyday happenings. Now I have nearly finished it is amazing to see how much my life has changed over 5 years and this book is great for anyone who is trying to incorporate some mindfulness into their lives but only wants to spend 2 minutes a day on that. I really treasure this book for all the memories I have in it, my one is quite tattered now but it has travelled round the world with me to France, America, the Swiss Alps and various other trips I’ve gone on. It is a perfect size for easy storage and to take travelling. I have also stapled keepsakes and other bits and pieces along the way into the book such as tickets, badges, receipts, photos etc and this has bulked out this tiny diary massively but it’s still going strong nearly 5 years later. The quality of this diary is outstanding, the gold edging on mine is still intact and whilst the front lettering is a little worn I am not surprised as it has been everywhere with me. I have never felt like there isn’t enough space to summarize what I want to that day and the layout is perfect for making it super easy to see what you did last year, 2,3,4 years ago etc. I like having a handwritten memory book alongside digital memories that pop up on my phone. I have used mine everyday and could not recommend this product enough to anyone who’ll listen.

Lovely way to log and remember memories in the digital age
This is a really nice keepsake. I bought this as a gift for my wife and she loves it.In an age where everything we do is digital and online I think it's important to write things down by hand. It's also something you can keep with you and pass down to children when they're older.The idea is a line or a few lines in your diary. That could be your child's first words, that they took their first step, that you travelled somewhere or experienced something new. Then, long after you've forgotten you can go back through your book and recall those happy memories.This could easily be one of those things that you start and never complete, or actually do complete but never touch again.But, the way this is laid out means that if you do write in it regularly you'll get back to the same dates once a year. So in the second year, you'll write your line or two down and will read whatever you've written down from the previous year. At the end of the book, as you complete year five you'll be able to look at the four previous years each time you write something down on that day. Great idea, nicely laid out and really well made.It is quite small and I would like to see a larger version available but it's definitely something I would love to receive and something you can keep your cherished memories in and look back on for years to come.

Addictive
Bought 5 years ago as a gift for husband who had never kept a diary.He is just coming to the end of the last one of these and has loved writing in it every night.As the years have passed he has amused us by reading what we were up to on this day say 3 years ago.He is very interested in politics so often writes whats going on, so in the last few years its been interesting.This is an ideal gift for anyone to record just a few lines each day.There is no pressure to write loads as there are only 5 lines to fill, and so it feels easier to use it for a specific record.eg diet or exercise or baby records how you feel etc

Cute memories
Bought this in 2014, and still have it 10 years later! I love that I can look back and read the book. It was hard to try and keep the book up to date, but you need to keep motivated

Beautiful little diary
The media could not be loaded. Lovely little diary, small amount of space to write briefly about each day, but just enough. I love the gold edging on the paper, it feels premium. The pages are good quality thickness too. I was worried about the sticker not coming off properly as reported by another reviewer- but thankfully I didn’t have any problems and the sticker came off easily in one piece. I can’t wait to start using this. I may buy another one as a gift.

Finally I can keep up with writing a 'diary'
Well what a year to decide to start writing in a daily journal!I have never been good at diaries, ever, the start of 2020 seemed as good a time as any for a mixture of reasons. Hopefully in the next 5 years will be a lot of life changing events which having a personal memory bank of really appealed to me, and having one book to cover such a long period of time very much suits me. I was dealing with depression also and writing 'gratefuls' every day is meant to help, so I thought this might encourage me to do so.6 months' down the line and I am going diary-strong, from struggling to write anything half a year ago I now find I almost run out of space. I LOVE the style and colour of the book, and the gold edging on the pages makes it look almost classic.You can start documenting at any time of the year it doesn't have to be Jan 1st, I am so glad I bought this and it was well worth the money. Being more aware of myself and encouraging reflection I am sure has been a benefit in working through being unwell, I am in a much better place and whilst I am certainly not saying this is a cure by any means, I really do think it has played a part in making a difference

The perfect diary and or gift
I write in it daily for my son. It’s a simple way to share thoughts or memories on a daily basis as I watch him grow. Gifted one to a family member as well.

Precioso
La encuadernación es preciosa y los bordes de las páginas en dorado, una maravilla. Cada página viene dividida en cinco, para los cinco años que dura, pero hay más espacio para escribir del que me esperaba. Me encanta.

Idea regalo
Ho acquistato questo quaderno come regalo. Che dire, è stata un'idea molto apprezzata ed originale. anche le finiture sono molto bene fatte e alla vista, grazie all'accostamento dei colori, risulta molto bello. consiglio l'acquisto per stupire la persona con un regalo particolare, a patto che la persona che lo riceva sia propensa alla stesura di diari personali.A distanza di tempo continua ad essere usato con le varie pagine piene di pensieri personali. Confermo l'ottimo acquisto
