In 2023 I bought the Leuchtturm1917 Some Lines a Day Memory Book. As we have now reached the end of 2024 and started 2025 I though it might be a good moment to check-in on how the five year memory book is going.

By way of reminder, the “Some Lines a day” notebook from Leuchtturm1917 is a five year memory book. Each page provides some lines per calendar day over five years. Inside, there are 365 pages, each with a date and five separate sections for each year. This book is designed to capture daily reflections over a five-year period, making it the perfect tool for anyone who wants to keep track of their personal growth and memories over time.

However, it is also just great as a really simple diary – for those of us who are short on time. This is sort of how I have been using it as each section has enough space for a few sentences or a short paragraph.

Although it is quick and easy to use, I have still struggled to get into a proper routine of writing everyday and I go through spurts of writing in it and then forget about it in a while. I am hoping to get better at this in 2025 and have left it in a more prominent place on my desk.

That said I would still highly recommend the Five-Year Memory Book to anyone who doesn’t have the time to commit to a full-on journal/diary – as even some entries will still create something you can keep and reflect on in the future.
