So much more than a planner. This is great! I love all the guidance they give also on how to follow the process.

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

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 sadly did not get as much out of my initial book, but purchased a year supply last December. Now in the third quarter of this year I am adapting the books as I go. I use my Monk Manual as both a planner and journal. The manuals are much better than creating my own book from scratch as the Monk manual has much of what I need laid out already. I add several items to each day such as under to-do a reminder to look back at what didn’t get done, a note about dinner plan for each day, a note every day about weather and a prayer for the day. The day before starting a new week I add a “Prepare” task of preparing for upcoming week. Very pleased with my Monk Manual, so much so I bought another year’s worth of books.
So glad to have my newest Monk Manual. On my second week, and I can already tell it’s helping me.?As a recent retiree, I find myself surprisingly busy, the Monk Manual is keeping me engaged and productive every day.
Store owner replied: Your kind words made our day! We’re grateful you chose Monk Manual to walk with you on your journey, and we’re excited to see how it continues to support you.
This is my second year of using these journals. I love to look back on the growth and memories that pictures can’t put into words, but my pen can. It’s a beautiful kind of therapy, my favorite way to start and end the day.
Store owner replied: Your kind words made our day! We’re grateful you chose Monk Manual to walk with you on your journey, and we’re excited to see how it continues to support you.
Been loving the journal thus far !! It has helped me to focus & do less
Store owner replied: We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying your Monk Manual! Your encouragement inspires us to keep creating tools that foster presence and peace. It's so good to have you as part of our Monk Manual community! Thank you!
Life changing!
Store owner replied: We’re so glad to hear your Monk Manual is serving you well! It means a lot to us that it’s helping bring more clarity and intention to your days. Thank you for being part of our community.
I purchased one copy to experiment with as the Monk Manual is more than a planner. Although I felt I did not use the manual to its and my full advantage I purchased a years worth of manuals to give the concept a thorough test.
Purchase was to have them ready for the year ahead. Thank you for amazing product and service from beginning to end.
Store owner replied: So glad the Monk Manual is bringing value to your life! Thank you for trusting us to be part of your daily practice—it’s an honor to walk alongside you.
I’ve used these monk manuals since 2021. They are the basis of my morning ritual.
Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing your experience. At Monk Manual, our mission is to help people live with greater peace and purpose—hearing stories like yours reminds us why we do what we do.
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. What has surprised me most is how much support surrounds these tools — the thoughtful community and the many videos that go in depth on how to use each section (daily, weekly, and monthly). They’ve helped me understand that this is far more than a simple planner or journal. With the guidance and structure provided, I feel like I’m truly reconnecting with my higher self — creating space for mindfulness, purpose, and peace in my daily rhythm.
Store owner replied: So glad the Monk Manual is bringing value to your life! Thank you for trusting us to be part of your daily practice—it’s an honor to walk alongside you.
I love my manual…I’ve used it before but just getting back into it. I use one color for planning and Action (To Dos) and one color for reflections either that evening or in the morning! I own a business, President of a nonprofit and sing in a rock band, so lots of moving pieces and new for my October theme - Balance! Thank you MM!

Such a meaningful way to end the day. As a person who tends toward anxiety and replaying my worst moments at the end of the day… answering the question, “I was at my best when:” every day is counter-intuitive and much more helpful than my brain’s default mode. Monk Manual helps me live on purpose and forces me to think about what’s going well, not just what I want to improve.
Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing your experience. At Monk Manual, our mission is to help people live with greater peace and purpose—hearing stories like yours reminds us why we do what we do.
Still working with best ways to use it as it is a new process for me. I have never had something like this and so far my Sue is limited by my imagination haha!!
Store owner replied: Thank you so much, Herbert. Using the Monk Manual is a very unique experience. It will take time to customize it to your needs.
My dear friend Jen introduced me to Monk Manual in early Jan. while we were on a getaway together. We live in different states now and try to visit whenever we can. When I asked what she was working on she explained the basics. I was intrigued and asked more questions which quickly lead me to order a year’s supply right then. It wasn’t long before I noticed what a positive difference having a simple guided approach could do to help me stay focused on the tasks and with the people that mattered most. I started very slowly. I had never done any reflecting like this and I didn’t have any idea how to begin. I reached out for some examples from Jen who shared her approach while also encouraging me to fine tune it to fit me and my life. She’s a busy, active, working mom who volunteers and I’m retired. Jen suggested we should share our yearly and quarterly goals for accountability and meet at the end of each quarter to prepare for the next. We now spend 3-4 days working on our goals, journaling, sharing, meditating, taking long walks in nature and cooking amazing meals together. At the beginning of this quarter we met on the coast of OR and had a fabulous time walking the beach and watching the sunset over the ocean every night, while listening to that soothing sound of the surf. As I said I began slowly, starting with days and gave myself grace for not doing it all everyday. That gave me the permission I needed to keep using it without feeling I was falling behind or failing in any way, which was a difficult thing for me all during my years at school. I’ve just turned 63 and I am so grateful to have been introduced to the focus and design of the Monk Manual. It was what I needed and the Universe provided through my very dear friend, Jen. Thank you for all the work that went into the creation of Monk Manual and your ongoing work in support of the evolution of our collective Human Being.
Store owner replied: Diane, this is so special. Thank you so much for being part of our Monk Manual community and continuing to build it through your friendship with Jen.
I work at an Episcopal diocesan office and this is the first planner that works well for my planning style. I am now on the reflection part and integrating it into my routine.
Store owner replied: Thank you, Jeremy. We are so happy to hear that our Monk Manual 90-Day Planner is a great fit!
Love this planner, but the binding came off after 7 months. I write in it 2-5 days a week in the morning and don’t think that should cause a $50 planner to lose the binding. As far as the content goes, I would pay for it again if I thought it would hold up structurally. It’s possible I just received a one-off.
Store owner replied: Kristen, thank you for sharing this with us. We are aware that some of our initial prints of our Weekly Planner have not met our standards and the standards our customers expect from us. Email us at hello@monkmanual.com so we can get this corrected.
I'm just getting started and honestly I'm disappointed that God is throughout the planner. When I think of monks I don't automatically think of God so I didn't realize he was going to be a strong presence in this planner. So whenever I see the word God which is someone I don't believe in or follow. I just change God to self or another word that works for me. Would have been nice to know that was fair or maybe have a choice of whether you wanted one based and Christian monks or non -christian. I'm not here to judge anybody for their thoughts or their followings or their beliefs. I'm only sharing mine.
Store owner replied: Thank you, Rebecca, for your feedback. The Monk Manual 90-Day, Weekly, and Life Atlas all use the term God. For clarification, the Monk Manual was inspired by both Eastern and Western monastic traditions. While Christian monastic traditions were studied when designing our system, we also studied monastic traditions of non-Judeo-Christian religions as well. Ultimately, the Monk Manual is meant less to be centered around any one specific religious belief system and more about utilizing the similarities that we found present in nearly all monastic traditions to simplify one's life and help focus on what's most important. We do use the word "God" several times in the Monk Manual, but this was a choice made because nearly all monasticism is rooted in some sort of grounding in an ultimate place of being, and in the Western world, God is the most common way people describe this. With that said, we encourage our community to feel free to substitute that word for Gaia, the universe, or any other title that expresses this same sentiment to them.
I'm still getting back in the groove of using a paper planner after using a digital one the past few years. This is nearly the perfect planner for me! I purchased two other options at the same time, not knowing which I'd gravitate toward. Monk Manual won out! So glad I got the companion journal to match. I free write every day about what's on my mind. It's also the only one of the 3 that I can use markers and such on without it leaking through the page. I really appreciate being able to use any writing tools I want! I don't always use the term 'god' in my personal dialogue, but I just mentally replace that with the name/word that resonates with me in the moment. I'm deeply spiritual and appreciate having that aspect honored. I truly believe service is a main purpose of being for me, and the daily "ways I can give" is a favorite for me. This planner is a beautiful way for me to stay grounded, while also connecting deeply with my Spirit and the world around me. I'll be sticking with this for a while!
Store owner replied: Wow, Jennifer! Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. The picture is beautiful. We love seeing how each person customizes their planner.
I started using the Monk Manual in the beginning of March 2025, which nearly coincided with Lent. Spending time in the morning and evening-- and having a beautiful tool to use -- has become my Lenten practice, and Lenten joy. A practice I will certainly continue.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much, Carter. We are so happy to walk with you on your transformation journey.
Like a lot about it. I wish there was a “Bible” section where you could write devotional notes : look back on it. I find myself making small sections like these under the daily notes etc.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so glad you are loving your Monk Manual.
I love this planner! It has helped me set priorities while feeling less overwhelmed and making time for gratitude and self reflection.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much, Grace! We appreciate your review and the photo.
Finally, a planner that prompts me to capture traits of resiliency (forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and optimism) AND keeps me on track for completing the tasks (& habits) necessary to complete my book on resilience.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much, Eric! We are so excited for your to accomplish the goal of writing a book!
Been using the MM for some time now.
Store owner replied: Thank you, Kris, for the review and being part of our Monk Manual community! We appreciate you.
Eager to get started with this intentionality in the new year. The planner itself is of great quality and feel. The organization and layout it very logical for order in my opinion. Thanks Monk Manual!
Store owner replied: Kevin, thank you for your review and picture! We are excited for your year of intentionality in 2025 as well!
I absolutely love the simplicity and style of journaling !
Store owner replied: Thanks for sharing, Edgar! Love the picture!
I have been using the Monk Manual for the last 2 years and have developed some wonderful habits that have stuck, mainly because I have been using the Monk Manual to reinforce them. I have recommended the MM to several people because I have found it so helpful to myself. I really love the idea of being and doing vs just getting things done and checked off a list. When I check an item off my MM list, it's because it was important to me that it be done and wasn't just another item to finish. I have ordered the prayer journal from MM and expect that to be a boost to my faith life.
Store owner replied: We're happy to hear that the Monk Manual has connected with you so deeply, Larry, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!
I’m on my second 90-day MM. It has been a great tool to help me get in a more disciplined, intentional heart/head space to work from. I love it.
Store owner replied: We're glad to know you decided to stay with us, Courtney, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!
I have had my 90 day planner for almost a month and I am grateful for the purchase. It was recommended to me during a June/July (this year) serendipity of delight - being invited - where I work to participate in a poetry class, which led to a writing workshop - and that is where the Monk Manual was introduced/suggested to my life. I am a woman so I am tracking with joy fluctuations in my priorities and after two weeks of intense enthusiasm and then a week and a half of overwhelm - I am finding an equilibrated spot in my priorities - where what was third on my priority list - has now gratefully made it to the top (finding more space for creativity) - it was my first priorities the first two weeks that have now almost even fallen off my priority list. It is an interesting process. Thank you - I feel like I have found my planner.
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, Amber, we appreciate it more than you know and hope to have you as part of the Monk Manual community for a very long time!
I'm in a particularly demanding season personally and professionally. The Monk Manual is a life-saver. The morning and evening rhythm has kept me in touch with what I'm thinking, feeling, and experiencing throughout the day. Thank you!
Store owner replied: We're happy our system has been able to offer you a lever of support, Robert, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!
I knew the Monk Manual would be good for me. I wanted to slow down, live more intentionally as a new husband and father, and keep my focus on Christ. The same reason I wanted the Monk Manual made it challenging at first. I didn't know how to slow down and be rather than just reacting and doing. But with the resources available on the Monk Manual site I was able to build the habit. Now, I can't live without my Monk Manual. I am a better husband, better father, better entrepreneur thanks in large part to the Monk Manual. If you use it, you will be the change you want in your life. There are no shortcuts. You have to put in the work but once you do will be on your way to be being the best version of yourself.
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, David, we’re glad to hear how much of a positive impact the Monk Manual has had in your life and hope to keep you as part of our community for a very long time!
I haven’t been able to find anything else like it. This manual has been so helpful to me!
Store owner replied: We're happy to be able to provide you with a planner that works well for you, Jordan, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!
Really loved this planner. The only negative was that my ribbons came out and the journal detached from the spine. I was considering buying a weekly planner to try out that version but worried that it might fall apart before the year is out! Still I would recommend the system!
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review and letting us know about this, Raven, we're sorry to hear you received a less-than-perfect Monk Manual from us and will be in contact with you shortly via email to discuss possible ways to make things right.
I am forever grateful to have found and be apart of the Monk Manual!! I have truly seen a difference in myself, how I react, reflect and appreciate life!! Once I finish my 90 day planner, I plan to do the weekly planner within, then I would like to purchase the weekly planner!
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Laura, we're happy to hear that you're pleased with our system and hope to keep you as part of the Monk Manual community for a very long time!
great quality of journal/planner, and i really love all the prompts. even if you’re an atheist like me, this journal is still incredibly lovely and useful (i just cross out the god parts or replace it with something else). will definitely continue buying these!!
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Evalie, we're happy to hear you're pleased with your purchase and are able to make our system your own!
In the fall I felt a call to simplicity and just starting cutting commitments out of my life right and left. Ending up hurting myself in the process, I realized that I lacked the skills needed to live life simply; no one ever taught me. With monk manual, I have a guide to do this day by day, and I strive to never fill the to-do list fully (I am my best when it stays below 5). Thank you!
Store owner replied: Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and for being a part of the Monk Manual community, Caroline, we appreciate it more than you know!
MM has really given me the avenue to focus and lead a more purposeful life.
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for leaving a review, Kris, we're happy that you're pleased with your purchase!
Very happy with the purchase of my Monk Manual. It enables me to engage more thoughtfully with my day, to check in on my spiritual and personal dimensions – not only my work. It's also given me my new mantra: Being + Doing = Living!
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Timothy, we're happy to be able to provide you with a system that helps you in your day-to-day life!
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. I have begun to feel more peaceful about things as I reflect on the day each night and get a jump start by pushing the next day. My only wish is that it would be offered in more colors! Some of us "monks" aren't that into brown. ;) I got super excited when I saw the Sprout manuals because I loved the colors... Until I saw they were the kid's version. Something in the blue or turquoise family would make this "monk" very happy. 😁
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for the feedback and review, Beth, we appreciate it more than you know!
In a digital world you need to go backwards to go forward. I use my pen and paper to help me stay focused, slow down, and filter through the overwhelming information overload from tech.
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Eric, we appreciate it more than you know!
I never write reviews, but the Monk Manual is incredibly special. Within my first 90 days, I had the honor of experiencing growth on a cognitive, physical, and spiritual level that is unprecidented. The Monk Manual has and continues to help me regain my faith, in myself and in God. I have gifted two manuals since my purchase and will continue to encourage my friends and family to try the system when their spirits are low. Much thanks to the creators of Monk Manual for providing a system that speaks with great intention. Live within the present moment - Expect nothing, seek nothing, and grasp nothing.
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for making the exception for us and taking the time to leave a review, Sommer, we appreciate it far more than you know and hope to keep you as part of our community for a long, long time!
