The inspiration for SORTED originated from personal experience. Being a believer in the effectiveness of putting thoughts down in writing, I went through countless diaries and journals. None of them ever quite matched what I was searching for. They consistently had sections I used and sections I didn't, which left me feeling guilty about unused pages. The entire concept behind SORTED was born from this struggle. It's about choosing only what you use and having the ability to rearrange pages when necessary. For instance, if you fill in your to-do list on Monday or Tuesday but don't journal for the rest of the week, you can take those extra pages between weeks and move them to the back so they don't go to waste.
I personally designed and tested each of the sections, selecting those that I believed would provide the most value to people. There was continuous collaboration with and support from family and friends - I wouldn’t be in a position to go to market without them.
The aspiration for the future is to expand into additional sections and, if things go well, potentially diversify into other areas of life tools. If you have any suggestions for sections you'd like to see added or any feedback on our current approach, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
For now, I hope you enjoy the journal as much as I enjoyed creating it.
