This is my first time trying the Monk Manual and learning a new system is always a bit of an uphill climb at first but it's starting to feel more natural and beneficial.

I’ve been using the Monk Manual and Companion Journal since October 16th, and the experience has been deeply transformative. The reflection and gratitude prompts are not only insightful but also open up a space for genuine inner clarity each day.

I haven’t been able to find anything else like it. This manual has been so helpful to me!

I’ve only had my Monk Manual for a few weeks but I love, love, LOVE it! I’ve used the Full Focus Planner for several years and really enjoyed that… but the Monk Manual takes it to another level, because it feels like all the planning elements of the FFP but adding in the spiritual side as well.

Featured In
The world pulls your attention in a thousand directions.
Notifications, obligations, the urgent crowding out the important — most of us reach the end of the day having been busy but unsure of our impact. The Monk Manual is a daily practice that brings you back. Back to what you truly value. Back to the person you’re trying to become. Back to the present moment, where life is actually happening.
See it Action
Reclaim your time for good.
Most planners focus on performance and efficiency so you can GET MORE DONE. The Monk Manual provides a daily practice to find signal amidst the noise and chaos, so that you can build your days around meaning and impact.
Reclaim Your Time
Do the deep work of uncovering what’s most important to you, and set a clear vision for your life.
Reform Your Rhythm
Build a daily practice that supports you — one that honors who you are and how you want to grow.
Realize Your Potential
Not as an abstract goal, but as a daily choice. Purpose happens when what you do reflects who you want to become.
Inside Look
Daily Pages
One full-page spread per day. Space to bring order to your day in the morning, and reflect to learn in the evening — every day for 90 days.
Inside look
Weekly Pages
Zoom out and set overarching priorities for the week. Recognize the good. And look forward to see the shape of your days before they arrive.
Inside Look
Monthly Pages
Calibrate, prioritize, and chart a course for the month ahead. Set intentions to align your days with your inner compass.
The method behind the practice.
The backbone of the Monk Manual is the PAR Method. PAR provides a powerful engine for growth. It’s genius is in its simplicity.
Prepare
Before the day begins, set your intention. What matters most today? What do you want to carry with you? This is your anchor.
Act
Work, create, connect — but do it with presence. The Monk Manual keeps your priorities visible so the urgent doesn’t always win over the important.
Reflect
At the end of the day, pause. What happened? What did you learn? What deserves to carry into tomorrow? Reflection is where we learn where to direct or redirect our attention and energy.

I have enjoyed my starter set, which I purchased to try out the Voyager pen and goals and 12 month calendar books. I have been a Mink manual user for almost two years now and have adapted it to my needs. I find the manual and the goals book to be very useful. Highly recommend the beginner set to someone who wants to try the Monk Manual.
Beautiful! My favorite planner. It’s actually less of a planner and more of a life documentation tool. I cannot recommend this strongly enough. I carry it everywhere, use it throughout the day, and now won’t be without it in the future. I’ve tried many different types of planners but this is truly different. It can be a complicated or as simple as you need it to be. The starter set includes a great pen and useful journals and calendars. Worth it in my opinion!
Working on getting myself set up for 2026. Quality material - the manual and supplemental goals and calendar. I do wish those items fit nicer in the back pocket - the entire manual doesn’t close well with those supplemental books in there. I’d prefer to keep it all together, but will have to leave the extras at my desk.

As someone who has tried a number of the big name planners, this is quickly becoming my favorite with the overall streamlined design and the focus on taking time to reflect.
Monk Manual™ 90-Day - Starter Set
Store owner replied: Thank you so much, David. We appreciate you and this beautiful picture you have shared.
This is hands down my favorite organizational tool. In a world where it's easy to lose ourselves in technology, this physical book feels like a breath of fresh air. It provides a tangible space to organize my thoughts, plan my tasks, and set meaningful intentions.
Monk Manual™ 90-Day - Starter Set
Store owner replied: Wow, Amber! Thank you so much!
I appreciate the organization of monthly planning, weekly planning and daily planning, as compared to simply organizing the planner based on a 31 day calendar format. That was good insight and allowed me to simply jump in to the daily planning, get used to the format, become acquainted with the weekly planning model and then the monthly, and then tackle those when I was ready. I am used to a contemplative personal growth approach such as this, so I greatly value the Monk Manual. The only thing I would "add" is a pen holder! Thanks much!
I’m a month into using my Monk Manual daily and I can honestly say this has been a game-changer for me. The key is cultivating a habit of reflection along with setting goals and priorities. Goals, priorities and to-do lists are useless unless you take the time to reflect on them. The Monk Manual provides a system that helps me move from human “doing” to human “being”.
Great present for my son as he starts a new adventure
The timeline for delivery was off i’ve still not received it when it was supposed to arrive yesterday.
The Monk manual has had an amazing effect on my Life!

love the feel, texture and paper is highest quality. Simple directions to keep your mind on what's important on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

Store owner replied: It's so good to have you as part of our Monk Manual community! Thank you!
It was a Christnas gift for my husband. He loves it and says it helps keep him on track. (Also the pen is so awesome I might steal it.)
Monk Manual™ 90-Day - Starter Set
Store owner replied: So glad the Monk Manual is bringing value to your husband's (and your) life! Thank you for trusting us to be part of his daily practice—it’s an honor to walk alongside you both.
The feel and design of the book and pen are delightful and easy to use. I suppose I should have looked closer at some of the pictures to see that “God” is included several times, which almost inclined me to return the product. I decided to write “Life” instead and am enjoying the planner-journal hybrid very much.

Store owner replied: We deeply appreciate your feedback and support. It’s encouraging to know the Monk Manual is playing a role in your daily rhythm and reflection.

The format, prompts, and concept work for me. I tied another journal/planner that was similar to, but there is a flexibility and fluidity to the Monk Manual that just simply works for how I think.
Monk Manual™ 90-Day - Starter Set
Store owner replied: Bob, we appreciate you and your review. Thank you!
The Monk Manual Starter Kit was the perfect way to test drive the system. The quality is exceptional, from the durable and stylish planner cover, to the pages. I think the pen is my favorite part. The formatting of the pages is perfect for my style. I appreciate the space for monthly and weekly planning and feedback, as well as the quarterly reflection at the end. It helps me develop an actionable plan for each day. I begin with the gratitude section each morning over coffee. I can review my daily schedule to determine my "Big 3" priorities, and set a few important "To Do"'s as well. And the "I'm looking forward to" box helps me set the most important goal today I'm going to finish that day. Finally, the reflection portion on the right is perfect for end of day. I've tried multiple systems; this is the best one I have found for me.

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your review, Dennis. We are grateful and happy that you have found such peace and purpose using our system.
I love the IDEA of this, but it just doesn’t work for me. I might need to try the 52 week version. The monthly page is too small, and should be spread over two full pages. It’s so small it’s mostly for reference, not planning. I also would like the weekly pages larger for more planning. The daily pages are great!! I might just be a monthly/weekly person. I love the paper and the size is perfect for tossing in my bag.

Monk Manual Planner did what every other productivity app and planner could not ... It changed my mindset. I have always been productive. I just wasn't present.

Well designed

Store owner replied: Thanks, Perrin! We appreciate you.
Feels and looks really great. Seems like a lot of "homework" initially, but just settling into it. Thank you!
I love the Monk Manual itself, but the pen I received is just okay. The pen moves around too much in the cap and I really wish there was an option for a finer point.
Monk Manual™ 90-Day - Starter Set
Store owner replied: Thank you, Matthew, for your review. We have made note of your suggestion for pens to have an option for a finer point. We take all suggestions and consider them at our product development meeting.

Store owner replied: Thanks, Lisa! We are excited for you to start your intentional Monk Manual journey too!
Really great! Keeps me organized. I don't use all the fields and there's a lot of space there. And I'm not 100% sure the difference between "being" and "doing goals" and "priority" vs "to do" but I'm sure I'll learn eventually
Monk Manual™ 90-Day - Starter Set
Store owner replied: Hi David, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, we truly appreciate it. You can think of "doing" goals as concrete achievements, projects, or experiences, such as writing a book, getting out of debt and experiencing financial stability, volunteering at a new charity, etc. "Being" goals are more akin to character attributes, relational goals, and qualities of life experience. Examples may be being a loving spouse, being present with your children, being a supportive leader in business, and forgiving a friend. If you ever have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to us at hello@monkmanual.com, we'd always be happy to do whatever we can!
Nicely organized and easy to use. It helps me with my daily schedule, but also allows me to plan further out as well. I enjoy my Monk Manual.

I really like the slowing down part that’s involved with writing things out instead of just having everything on my phone, it definitely helps me be more intentional in planning my days, thinking through them and reflecting. I’m still getting used to it after using it for over a month. Building the habit of writing thoughts down every day is something that I am hoping to get better at with this manual, not there yet but I keep at it. For me who works out of the home and am gone for about 10-12h a day, there are some formatting things that I would love to see added in the future to make it easier to use. In the past I’ve always had a spiral end planner and it has worked so well to have out and open and not take up that much space; also a pen holder would be a great feature. I love having a pen holder on my Bible, didn’t think it would make that big of a difference until I had one. All this to say I love the look of the leather manual, maybe for my scattered self some of these features would be great to help me stay on track.

For more than a year, I've been utilizing the Monk Manual. Diligently completing it enables me to efficiently manage my time and accomplish my tasks. Conversely, when I neglect it, I tend to get easily distracted. This invaluable tool aids me, as someone with ADD, in maintaining focus.

I really like the planner and the tools you provide to get us started on goal setting and living on purpose. I have finally caught the vision of how to plan long term and stay on track in the short term. One thing I would like to change is more space for the inserts at the back. It doesn't close properly with the calender and goals in the pocket in the back.

I love how it makes me think. Even if I still need to do the worksheets to get started!
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Christopher, we're very happy to hear you're pleased with your purchase so far!
I've been using bullet journals for the last several years, and as my spiritual pursuits deepened, I found that the key element of reflection in that method was lacking. I had found one journal that did touch on this aspect and I really liked it a lot, but it is no longer being produced. Monk Manual takes that to-do list function of bullet journaling and dials up the reflection piece in a huge way. It does so AND offers a really high-quality product - thick paper, sturdy binding, and sleek, simple minimalist appearance.
Great notebook. Keeps me on track with the things I want to do every day, but always forget (gratitude, reflection.) Notebook is of high quality and great leather. Very nice piece. A little pricy for a disposable notebook (I guess you could archive them,) wish there was an option for a loose bound leather. Recommend you buy the kit with the companion journals and the Grafton pen - both are lovely.
The Monk Manual is a bit clunky to use. The way the month, week and day sections are separated makes it difficult to use. The page separators really don’t help.
Love the quality of the books and pen. Like that it’s not too big so it can go into my laptop bag no problem. Especially love they materials that explain the approach and how to use the materials effectively. That really helps and the process of learning helps to keep me focused as well. Great stuff - Thanks
