Best Journal Purchase
This Journal is absolutely beautiful. The red cover is stunning. It has great added features, like a business card slot on the cover, a durable elastic band to hold the cover closed, an elastic pen loop holder and a gusseted pocket to hold my most important documents. The page layouts are also great. I love the narrow ruled lines on the heavyweight paper and the num...

Over Engineered
Two stars because: (1) the journal while nicely complimented with a fold-over strap and pen loop, and (2) while it does have an inside pocket for storage, the journal is absolutely nothing remarkable and is in fact, over-engineered. I see no practical use for the diagonal card slot on the front cover and the pen loop is on the wring side. Moreover, several pages within ...

Great quality
The book is leading but not telling you what you should be writing about. There is plenty of space and the book is very sturdy.

Black
Okay the only thing I have to say right now is that my journal I bought in the store was not as nice looking as this black one in the picture. Mine is just a plain brown one because I didn't see any nice looking ones like this one here in your picture...Thanks

Not set up how I thought it was
Not enough to-do lists, it has a weird structure. Like, I'd have to do five or six random pages to get to the next page with a list? That's so weird.

Great for someone but not me so much
I got it as a gift for a friend but I checked it out myself. My handwriting is terrible so I use a tablet and laptop to do my journal work. However, for someone who is legible and prefers hard copy this would be a great item. It is somewhat heavy which points to the quality of the item (paper used , etc). There are some interesting features like tear off task lists. My ...

TRU RED Guidance Journal
The journal had a very nice cover and the perfect size to fit in my purse. I loved the elastic band on the back of the journal that makes holding it in place while you write an easy task. The product should have included a pen, since there was a pen holder attached. Overall, it is a nice product that I would recommend others to use.

Wonderful versatile Journal
This journal is fabulous. I love the sleek design and the guidance provided. There is a nice pocket inside the cover for documents. The paper quality is fabulous allowing the pen to glide across the pages with ease. The journal has prompts to date the pages so it can also be used as a planner/organizer. A great tool to use for journaling or keeping notes/thoughts in one...

Great product to organize your thoughts and everyday schedule!
The Tru Red journal is fantastic , I have a black one and right when I got it my hands I knew it was a solid quality product. It had a great elastic bad to keep it closed, which is also very solid! Front cover has a pocket on the inside which is cool, and the pages are a high quality paper and makes for a nice glide when writing with a pen. I really like the sketching s...

The Starter Journal that helps you get organized.
Let me start by saying that I am one of those people who thinks they are organized, but it is more in theory. Every month or two, I say today is the day I am going to start being organized, and it lasts for a few hours and then I go back to being scattered. I decided to try the Tru Red Starter Journal and really do it this time. I chose this journal specifically because...

A Neat Journal
The Journal is pretty neat. It has some distinct features like straps and neat little pockets for business cards and loose papers or notes. It has a sleek design with lines pages and even a sketch pages for the illustration of ideas. Overall, not a bad journal. Not overwhelming but certainly not underwhelming.

Good Starter Journal
This journal has a good amount of pages and has a sturdy cover to protect it from daily use. It has some great pages for planning out your day and for me, making daily checklists is very useful. The elastic band on the back cover is a nice touch, which I assume is to assist in holding on the go. If I`m out and about I can pull out my journal and easily jot something dow...

TRU RED ``Introductory Guidance`` Journal`
I was looking for a basic journal that is well put together and sturdy. This did the trick. I use this at night for a `brain dump` before bed, which helps me sleep! In the morning I use it for my daily check list. The journal has a nice hard cover and a loop to store your pen, which I love.
