[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I thought that this was a pretty standard journal/notebook but there are a few cool features that I really liked. The `To-Do List` sections are really useful as is the peel-off sticker concept and the elastic pen loop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even though the jacket of this journal is not leather this journal has a reputation all at once to be categorized within the business-range design as an essential tool or utensil which is good and reliable for the representation of the office or home alike.I like it because it has a lot of details and tips in the front and rear pages to enhance the use of it as well as having a helpful guide to its potential owner with ease and peace of mind in case it gets lost.Its black cover and corporate design are essentially very convenient and suitable for a business environment absolutely. I like it very-very much.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tru-Red Intro Guidance Journal is easy to hold and small enough to fit in a brief case or hand bag. I love the handy elastic pen/pencil holder and convenient slot on the cover for business cards. There are an ample number of pages in two different lined formats ie. hourly and blank. The spine journal label provided on the back cover is a great idea to help with locating the journal on a book shelf; however I would prefer a spiral spine that would allow the pages to lay flat and provide more room to write as close to the spine as possible. Overall the journal is nice and compact for transport yet big enough to read and write daily notes.
Like adding my own date instead of a page for every date in one year. Can keep the journal longer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This TRU RED Introductory Guidance journal really exceeded my expectations. It`s packed with so many features from the slotted cover to put cards or notes the inside cover pocket for additional notes/ppwk the inside cover note taking tips and the identification page including start date (always helpful to reference). The calendar perforated tear out (which is NOT on every page) and the sketch page (for ideas/brainstorming or just doodling when bored) are sprinkled repeatedly throughout. The pages are thick (ink did not run through) and smooth. At the end there is a journal end date space and a section for your best thoughts and signature. There`s also a label you can apply to the spine to identify your journal. The cover is thick and high quality and there is a pen holder loop on the spine that`s big enough for a thick pen. I would have liked for there to be a page marker ribbon but that`s the only suggestion.
This journal has the perfect amount of space for notes and daily appointments/schedule. I bought 2 for me to stay organized and will be going back for a couple of more to make sure I am stocked up.
