This best-selling, bold motivational journal is for everyone seeking to boost their productivity. Do It For Yourself combines the pop-art-inspired graphics of Subliming with 75 thought-provoking prompts.
Whether you’re embarking on a new project or planning your future, understanding what makes you tick is the crucial first step in making things happen. Choose any goal and work through the five stages of the journal:
* Getting going
* Building momentum
* Overcoming setbacks
* Following through
* Seeking closure
Or just open it to the phase you’re in now. Each exercise is designed to help reorient your outlook, overcome roadblocks, and encourage mindfulness, with powerful typographic quotes to inspire you along the way.
Kara Cutruzzula has chronicled her creative output (highs, lows, in-betweens) and offered productivity tips and insights in the newsletter Brass Ring Daily. Vanity Fair called it “a life coach in your inbox.” That’s what she does for you here!
In her introduction she writes, “Motivation. Want more of it? Of course you do. Motivation is the not-so-secret sauce to getting closer to what you want. Sure, you can dream and plan and plot, but without motivation to see a goal through, often your wild ambitions can feel stalled—or worse, like they’re nowhere to be found. You need motivation to blow past the roadblocks that arrive in every shape, size, and form.”
In these pages, find the much-needed space to focus your energy, clear up mental clutter, and set yourself up for success. Because isn’t it time you did it for yourself?

Useful and real problem exercises. Not like other self help books
I have read about half way through the prompts and notes and I only stopped so I could write this review.I can hardly express how wonderfully and thoughtfully and truthfully and well written this is. I have always been a self improvement / self help seeker, but this genre is littered with cliche, non-helpful quotes and suggestions or people basically bragging about their own lives or pity seekers. I canât stand it when I find a blog or a guided journal and the writer talks about themselves the entire time. So whenever I come across self help books I am automatically on the cynical side. This journal is e x c e p t i o n a l. It has USEFUL tips, REAL problem solving exercises, not too wordy and not too vague. The quotes / affirmations are not cheesy, they hit home in a very refreshing way, and the same goes for the art and aesthetics.I actually bought this as a gift, but Iâm ordering another for myself. I cannot recommend this journal enough.

Motivational delight in words and images!
This is NOT the typical self help book. The author becomes your confidant as you read, and she is your dear friend at the end. Delightfully written and illustrated, this is the perfect book for reflection, insight and motivation. Whether your projects are personal or professional, the journal provides easy to follow steps for any stage of a project, including motivational exercises. If you want help for getting started, remaining motivated, or staying focused–this is YOUR book! Especially geared toward the young, creative, and entrepreneurial, this self help book is my new choice for birthday and graduation presents. Thoughtful, eye-catching, and rewarding.

the fist journal that really helped me through time when I felt lost
This journal is worth every penny and more. Besides that I absolutely love the colorful modern design, it has all these journal exercises to find yourself, make you think in a guiding way about yourself and your goals in life. The motivational quotes are so spot on and to be remembered in my daily routines. I purchased this journal during a time when I felt being at a low point and feeling lost on where I wanted to go next. Going through the journal and the exercises I found clarity again. No doubt this is the best journal out there. I purchased additional copies of it as gifts for some of my friends. Thank you!!!!!
