A tool for tracking joy, with space for reflection, presence, and pause.
The Spot Joy Planner is an undated monthly planner that encourages users to build a consistent, mindful habit of noticing joy. Developed in close collaboration with author and wellness educator Alex Elle, this journal applies her daily practice of “joy spotting” - the act of naming small, meaningful moments - within a structured, elegant format that supports both consistency and creativity.
Crafted from our signature waterproof, tear-resistant stone paper, this is a product that blends intentional design with lived practice. It's built to be used every day, and kept long after.

Beautiful journal. The paper is amazing. Im enjoying spotting joy.
Born from her pages. Designed for yours.
Alex had been using our planners to document joy. One small moment each day. Over time, those entries became something bigger: a record of healing, presence, and gratitude.
OPEN TO JOY.
A real practice, set in stone for a lasting format
When co-creating a dedicated Joy Planner, we knew it needed to be different. This isn't a yearly planner you cycle through. It's undated - meant to be carried everywhere and kept for years.
That's why stone paper isn't just a feature here - it's essential. Waterproof for coffee shop mornings and rainy commutes. Tear-resistant for daily wear. Durable enough to become a permanent record of your growth.
A SYSTEM FOR SLOWING DOWN
Joy Isn’t Loud. This Helps You Listen.
The Joy Planner is built for daily use. Designed to support a long-term ritual without overwhelming the experience. The format is simple, while the generous reflection pages allow space for depth and honesty. This journal holds space without adding pressure.
Each monthly spread lets you capture one joy per day — simple, visual, and easy to stick with.
Write more, remember more — these pages are yours to use however you need.
The Habit Tracker feature helps you to stay accountable and visually see your progress.”
Prompt spread themes include daily rituals, self-trust, grief, quiet connection, and more
Before you begin, Alex offers a page of guidance — not rules, just a place to start.
START WITH WHAT YOU NOTICE
How Joy Grows
Alex’s joy spotting practice centers on one act: noticing. Noticing small, daily moments that offer relief, gratitude, or levity. Over time, research shows that this kind of practice reshapes how we perceive our lives. Documenting joyful experiences - even briefly - has been linked to:
• Increased optimism and emotional resilience
• Stronger memory for positive events
• Reduced symptoms of anxiety and stress.
This journal helps build that attention muscle.
What begins as a moment a day becomes a shift in how you move through the world.
