A list of all currently available colors and inspiration for use can be found at mogbook.com. This journal in a paperback format is a fine, colorful, and useful tool for general self-organization in everyday life (except for 'Black is the new Black' and 'Plain White', which are colorless). On 96 cream-colored pages, you can capture your most important asset—your thoughts—one page per day for a trimester. After all, thoughts are quite slippery little creatures. I’m sure you’ve let at least one brilliant idea slip away. I originally designed it for myself because I like it when all the books on the shelf are the same size and color-coordinated. Call me a freak. But what I love most is:

1. Writing.
2. Reading what I've written.

Have you underestimated journal writing, perhaps even laughed at it? I’ve realized that despite its simplicity, it is incredibly powerful: Whatever you put on paper finds its way into reality much more easily. Throughout our lives, we search for answers, yet all the answers we will ever need already lie within us. Paper and pen can tease out what remains hidden in the fog of thoughts, which is too fast, unclear, and utterly chaotic. Writing allows you to orient yourself, reflect, and above all, recognize: Who am I, what do I want, and why? Writing is light. Overthinking is darkness. Everything you need to know about yourself, you can learn from a book: your book. Where every worthwhile story can be found, yours could also be: written, in a real book. If you don’t neglect to write it, it will be your best teacher. In the end, a dull pencil is indeed better than the sharpest mind.

Don’t stop until your story also belongs to those worthwhile stories.
