Excellent; well worth the investment!
"Highly recommend. Such great quality. Purchased a variety of the journals specifically for my bridal party as a thank you and they loved them! I look forward to my next purchase."
Get clear on who you are, what you want, and where you want to go.
The Guided Clarity Journal was the very first PleaseNotes journal, created for the moments when life feels loud, options feel endless, and you know something needs to change, but you are not quite sure what that change is yet.
Inside, you will find a 20 page guided workbook designed to help you look at your life from a wider perspective. Through thoughtful prompts and reflection exercises, you explore who you are, what you want to create, the legacy you want to leave, and what truly brings you joy. These are the questions you often already have the answers to, but may have never given yourself the space to ask.
The journal also includes access to a 60 minute guided workshop that helps you get started. The workshop covers how to use journaling as a tool for clarity and personal growth, while also guiding you through additional exercises that are separate from the workbook prompts. Many people choose to begin with the workshop before opening the journal, while others return to it later as a powerful check in when life shifts again.
After the workbook, the journal opens into spacious reflective pages designed to help you keep the conversation going with yourself. The journal includes 200 pages, with inspirational and relatable quotes throughout from voices like Michelle Obama, Brené Brown, Bob Proctor, Lisa Nichols, Drake, J. Cole, DJ Khaled, and more. At the back, you will also find lined and dot pages for brainstorming, creativity, and deeper reflection.
Beautifully made with thoughtful details like a premium cover, gold-stamped affirmation on the spine, color matched ribbon marker, elastic closure, and back pocket, the Guided Clarity Journal is designed to support you through seasons of transition, self-discovery, and bold decision making.
Because once you are clear on who you are and what you want, it becomes so much easier to move forward with confidence.

The Guided Clarity Journal is more than a place to write your thoughts. It is a space designed to help you step back, reflect honestly, and reconnect with what truly matters to you. Through guided exercises, thoughtful prompts, and intentional journaling, it helps you quiet the outside noise so you can hear your own inner voice again.
When you gain clarity on who you are, what you want, and the impact you want to make, decision making becomes easier and your next steps feel more natural. The Clarity Journal helps you move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to feeling focused, confident, and ready to move forward.
Created by a Mindset Coach
Created by Cheryl Sutherland, speaker, personal growth educator, and founder of PleaseNotes, this journal combines real life insight with proven personal growth practices to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with clarity.
After years of studying mindset and personal transformation, Cheryl designed this tool to help people quiet outside noise, trust their inner voice, and gain confidence in their decisions. It has already helped thousands reconnect with their direction and take meaningful steps toward the life they want.
Routine 1: The Morning Check In
Start your day by checking in with how you feel and deciding how you want the day to unfold. Use the journal to pre pave your day by setting intentions for your meetings, conversations, and interactions. As you write about how you want to feel moving through them, you create space for those experiences to flow more easily and end the day feeling more focused and accomplished.
Routine 2: The Evening Reflection
End your day by reflecting on what happened and what you learned. As you write, you begin to notice patterns, recognize what is working, and understand where your energy is best spent. Take a moment to appreciate your efforts, feel grateful for yourself, and acknowledge the progress you made today so you can rest feeling proud and grounded.
Routine 3: The Focused Clarity Session
When you want deeper answers, open your journal for a focused session. Use the pages to work through a challenge, map out a vision, or play out the scenario of what you are creating next. As you step into the feeling of the person you are becoming and tune into the energy of success, joy, love, and deep satisfaction, your intuition becomes clearer and the answers you need begin to surface.
Give yourself permission to pause and step back from the noise. The Clarity Journal creates space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself before making your next move.
You cannot know where you are going until you understand where you are today. The guided workbook and journaling exercises help you take an honest look at your life, what matters most to you, and what you truly want to create.
Because the workbook is downloadable, you can revisit the exercises and complete them again anytime as your life evolves, allowing you to reconnect with your clarity again and again.
As you move through the journal, something begins to click. Your thoughts start organizing themselves and the direction you have been searching for begins to reveal itself. That moment of clarity shifts how you feel.
What once felt frustrating, uncertain, or overwhelming starts to feel resolved and steady. You begin to feel satisfied with the path unfolding in front of you and excited about what comes next.
With clarity comes momentum. You begin making decisions with confidence, aligning your actions with what truly matters, and taking meaningful steps toward the life you want to live.

Not at all. The Clarity Journal was designed for everyone, whether you are brand new to journaling or already have a regular practice. The guided workbook and prompts help you build self trust and make reflection feel approachable instead of overwhelming. The companion workshop also walks you through how to begin, or how to restart whenever you need.
The Clarity Journal is more than a notebook. It is a structured clarity tool. Inside you will find a guided self discovery workbook, a workshop to help you begin journaling with intention, decision making prompts, grounding reflection exercises, and inspirational quotes throughout the journal. It is designed for the moments when you feel stuck, scattered, or unsure what direction to take next.
Absolutely. There are no dates or timelines. You can open the Clarity Journal whenever you feel ready to check in with yourself, explore your next steps, work through a challenge, or simply clear your mind and reconnect with your directio
Yes. The Clarity Journal makes a thoughtful gift for anyone going through a transition, leaving something behind, starting a new chapter, or simply needing space to think and reflect. It is both beautiful and supportive, making it a meaningful gift that people actually use.
Most people spend about 5 to 10 minutes with the journal. Some days you may write more and other days just a few lines. The goal is not perfection, it is simply creating space to check in with yourself and your direction.
You are not alone. Many people feel the same way, which is exactly why the Clarity Journal includes guided support. The workbook helps you get started, the prompts keep the momentum going, and the workshop allows you to journal alongside Cheryl whenever you need guidance. The downloadable workbook also means you can revisit the exercises anytime as your life evolves.
This journal is not about finishing perfectly. It is about giving yourself a space to return to whenever you need clarity.
