Everything we get asked, answered.

A hardcover monthly life dashboard. Undated, twelve months. Every month is printed and ready. Three goals. A habit grid. One line a day. A sleep graph. A score out of 5. A month-end review. It is the system you may already draw by hand in a blank notebook. We did the ruling. You bring the pen.

No. Start any month, any year. No wasted pages.

Eight pages, in three kinds.

Life dashboard: two pages that hold the whole month. Three goals (Health, Wealth, Mind), the habit grid, one highlight line a day, the sleep graph, and a satisfaction score out of 5 for each day.

Day pages: for the nights that need more than one line. A gratitude line, the day's wins, and tomorrow's key tasks.

Freeform pages: 5mm grid, no prompts. Notes, lists, anything else.

At the back, the Year Review lays all twelve months side by side.

Five colourways: Black, Navy, Charcoal, Brown, and Forest Green.

100gsm cream paper. No bleed-through with everyday pens.

Yes. Thread-sewn binding. The book opens flat at any page.

Greyboard wrapped in 157gsm art paper, with a soft-touch matte lamination. The name is pressed into the cover, not printed on it.

A5 (148 x 210mm). 432 pages.

Not with a ballpoint, gel or rollerball. The paper is not made for fountain pens or heavy markers.

Yes. It is undated, so it keeps until he opens it. The cover is plain, with no slogan on it. It ships in plain book packaging.

No. The nightly entry is about ninety seconds: tick the habits, mark your sleep, write one line, score the day. Then lights out. Miss a night and nothing breaks. The month-end review is where the picture forms, and that takes about fifteen minutes.

Ninety seconds a night. Fifteen minutes on the last night of the month. That is the whole cost.

Skip them. The system runs on months, not days. A blank day is information, not a mark against you. The month-end review is where the value lives.

Yes. Pick five to seven at the start of each month. Change them next month if they were not the right ones.

Give it one filled month. That is the test, and it is also the guarantee. Fill one monthly dashboard. If the results aren’t there, email us within 90 days of delivery. Send a photo of that month and your order number. Full refund. You keep the book.

We can’t tell you a date. We can tell you that a month which showed you nothing is a month you don’t pay for.

Three marks on the calendar, so you know where you are. Night 7, Cast off (Logged): the first week is in the book. Night 30, First port (Scored): the first month is closed and rated. Night 90, Open water (On the record): three months stand on the shelf.

The guarantee sits on Night 30. The whole plan is on the Night one page.

That is what The Filled Month Guarantee is for. Fill one monthly dashboard. If the results aren’t there, email hello@ordinstudios.co within 90 days of delivery. Send your order number and a photo of that month. We reply within 2 business days and refund you in full. You keep the book. No forms, no questions.

One Ledger is one twelve-month voyage. The Year Review at the back closes it. The book stays on your shelf as the record of that year. Start the next book the same day, any day. It is undated too.

You can, and you may have. The book is already open on the desk. Nothing to update, nothing to sync, no feed. It is there when the laptop is shut.

No. The habit grid is one column of the spread. Around it sit the daily line, the sleep graph and the satisfaction score. Then three goals, and the month-end rating across five areas. The dashboard tells you how the month went.

Nothing here is blank. Every box is a question: what was today's highlight, how did you sleep, which habits did you hit, what was the day out of 5. You answer. You do not compose. If you can fill in a form, you can fill in this.

It shows you the pattern. The sleep graph and the monthly ratings sit on the same spread, so the pattern is there to read. It is not treatment. If you are anxious or depressed, see a doctor. Use this alongside, not instead.

The fields are the same on purpose. The same questions every night are what make March comparable to October. If you want a new prompt each day, this is not the book for you.

A page a day is a lot to ask. This asks for one line and a few ticks, and it does not care which nights you missed. The one thing it does ask is fifteen minutes at month-end. That is the part the blank notebook never had.

Only the ruling. Drawing a month by hand takes a chunk of an evening, every month, before you write a word. Here every month is already printed: the grid, the goals, the rating, the review. You open it and start. The pages you rule yourself are still in here, at the end of each month.

Keep Notion for tasks and projects. The book holds the month: habits, sleep, one line a night, the score, the goals. It sits on the desk when the laptop is shut, and it never needs a rebuild. Not a duplicate. A complement.

The Five Minute Journal is a daily gratitude book. The Ledger is a monthly life dashboard: habits, sleep, scores, goals, a month-end review, then a year review. Different book, different job.

Those are blank. This one is ruled for the month before you open it: the goals, the habit grid, the daily line, the sleep graph, the ratings. You get the system printed, not an empty grid to draw first.

Yes, and we think you should. The Set is two Ledgers in one order, $200 for the pair, and it ships free. It comes with Review for Two: the fifteen-minute month-end for two people, each reading their own filled book.

Give one to the person you talk to most and close your months together. More on the run with friends page.

Any ballpoint, gel or rollerball. The Uni Jetstream, Pentel EnerGel and Muji gel pens all sit well on this paper. Not a fountain pen.

This is not a diary. You are not writing pages about your feelings. You tick a few boxes, write one line, score the day, and once a month you sit with the spread for fifteen minutes. Think dashboard, not diary.

Yes. The Ledger is undated. Start any month, any year. No wasted pages.

Open the first month. Write one goal for Health, one for Wealth, one for Mind. Tick tonight's habits, write one line about the day, and score it out of 5. Lights out. That is night one, and it takes about ninety seconds.

The whole first week is laid out on the Night one page.

Yes. The method page walks the monthly spread box by box. The three goals. The habit grid. The daily line. The sleep graph. The score out of 5. The five-area rating at month-end. The Year Review at the back.

Two lists, and they are different on purpose. Your monthly goals use three: Health, Wealth, Mind. One goal each. At month end you score five things out of 5: Health, Wealth, Mindset, Relationships and Satisfaction. The Year Review lays all twelve ratings side by side, so you can see which area moved and which stalled.
