An Overview of Plum Paper's 5-Year Journal
Life happens one day, one memory, and one moment of growth at a time, but how often do you take the time to reflect and appreciate how far you've come?
Our 5-year journals invite you to slow down and create a daily ritual that feels grounding and inspiring.
This isn't just another notebook. Within these pages, you'll find plenty of room to celebrate wins, navigate challenges, set goals, and take note of all the small
things that bring joy to your daily life.
What Is a 5-Year Journal?
A 5-year journal offers a simple, yet beautiful way to capture your life over the next five years using just a few lines each day.
By committing to writing short and honest daily entries, it's easy to stay consistent about recording the events, feelings, and small moments that matter most.
What really makes this type of planner so meaningful, though, is how it allows you to revisit previous years and see how much has changed over time. It's like a personal gift you give to your future self!
Whether you use this journal to reflect on your personal growth, keep track of milestones and books you've read, or document your time with family, these notes become precious memories and a window into your past.
Personalizing Your Journal
We believe that your 5-year journal should reflect who you are from the first page to the last, which is why we give you the option to:
- Choose from multiple cover designs that you can customize with your name
- Decide if you want a synthetic or hardcover journal
- Accessorize your journal with add-ons like stickers, dashboards, and page protectors
- Select the binding style that works for you
How to Use a 5-Year Journal
A 5-year journal is flexible, which is why it features simple lined pages rather than pre-written dates. It gives you complete freedom to shape your journaling habit in a way that fits your life.
You can begin each entry by writing the date yourself, or you can simply jot down what's on your mind. This could be your hopes for the future, memories you don't want to forget, something your kids did or said, or a highlight from your job.
However, adding dates will make your 5-year diary more impactful, so we recommend including them when possible.
The most important thing to remember? Make this a daily habit. Even just 10 minutes a day helps your journal capture a detailed picture of how your life evolves over 60 months. And if you need a little inspiration, you can always turn to a few common journal prompts to get you started.

What Size Is the 5-Year Journal Available In?
Our 5-year journal is available in an A5 size. We chose this size intentionally to make sure it's portable and offers just the right amount of space for all those daily thoughts. When a journal is easy to keep on hand, staying consistent comes naturally.
The A5 size also gives your completed journal the weight and presence of a meaningful keepsake once you finish filling it.
