The 6-Minute Principle® means taking small steps in 6 minutes a day to steadily get a little closer to your goal. These daily steps become small habits that develop enormous power in the long term and enrich your life.

Current studies indicate that it will be essential to address your mental health in the coming years. With our 6-Minute-Journals®, we aim to make routines for mental fitness just as natural as regular exercise for physical fitness, because journaling is the new jogging :-)

The 6-Minute-Diary is the first journaling tool with a scientifically proven effect. You can find the corresponding study from the Medical School of Berlin here.

The 6-Minute-Diary is a gratitude journal that focuses on developing a more positive mindset and includes strategies for more self-love and self-reflection. Following The 6-Minute-Principle®, three - simple yet effective - minutes in the morning and evening lead to remarkable results over time and positive changes become part of your everyday life. Use the proven principles of positive psychology and “Write Yourself Happy!”

The main difference between The 6-Minute-Diary and The 6-Minute-Diary PURE is the length of the introduction part compared to the length of the practical part.

The 6-Minute-Diary has a 70-page introductory section with scientifically based studies and practical examples that will make it easier for you to use the diary.

The 6-Minute-Diary PURE, on the other hand, contains a shorter introductory part. In that way you can start your writing journey right away. The most important tips on how to use the journal are included in both versions. Depending on how much background knowledge you want, both journals are suitable to start with ;-)

If used daily, as The 6-Minute-Principle® suggests, The 6-Minute-Diary is designed for 21 weeks. Based on our customer feedback, however, the journal usually lasts for 5 - 7 months.

The 6-Minute-Diary PURE is even designed for 24 weeks of daily use and usually lasts longer, too.

The primary purpose of The 6-Minute-Diary PURE is to continue and strengthen your own routine. But since we continually like working on the PURE editions as well as on the classic diary, you may constantly find new content in them. Maybe you'll stumble upon familiar bits on which you may now reflect from a brand new perspective - a perspective your "old self" hasn’t discovered before :-)

The 6-Minute-Diary is currently available in German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Dutch, Czech, Swedish, Turkish and Russian.

The PURE version is currently available in English, German, Chinese, Dutch and Russian :-)

The 6-Minute-Success-Journal, on the other hand, is a daily planner that helps you to be more productive without producing exhaustion! With a mix of effective mindfulness practices and proven strategies for more productivity, you will avoid falling prey to distractions and pursue your goals and visions in a completely different way: with more focus, clarity and ease of mind instead.Since both journals have different focuses, you can perfectly use them at the same time.

The 6-Minute-Diary for Kidsteaches children the most important building blocks for happiness from a young age– in a simple and playful way. With this gratitude journal, kids learn to focus on the positive things in their lives and embrace it fully. No matter if old or young: If you want to feel good, you have to think good. ;-)

With 80 daily fill-out pages and 50 more pages full of playful activities, children will develop the most important routines for emotional intelligence, happiness and mental balance. Paolo and Minuti will take the child on an adventurous journey with playful explanations while fostering a so-called growth mindset.

If used daily, as The 6-Minute-Principle® suggests, The 6-Minute-Diary for Kids is designed for 11 weeks. Based on our customer feedback, however, the journal usually lasts for 3 - 5 months.

The 6-Minute-Diary for Kids is most suitable for boys and girls between the ages of 6 - 12 years but other age groups can also benefit from it. The children should be able to read and write in any case. ;-)

For kids aged 12 and older, we recommend our6-Minute-Diary.

Depending on the age, it may be a good idea to accompany the child when they start using the journal. If you have your own copy of The 6-Minute-Diary (or thinking about getting one), you could develop a wonderful writing routine together and experience inspiring and enriching moments. 

The bonding time together is a very great side effect and many parents, uncles, grandmothers & Co. have already told us about the positive changes that our journals have sparked in the kids. :-)

The 6-Minute-Diary for Kids is currently available in English, German, Dutch and Russian.
