BE A FORCE OF NATURE
THE ORIGINAL STATE JOURNAL
A paper journal that's designed to help you build time and experiences in nature into your day, month and whole year. Using nature as your guide and supported by scientific research for being in nature, it will help you restore your vitality and wellbeing, as well as focus more on our planet's. You'll see your productivity from a whole new perspective.
Our time on Earth is our
greatest asset, and our time
in nature is when we are at our
happiest and most alive. Yet
we are spending 90% of our
lives indoors.
ESCAPE THE BOX. THINK OUTSIDE
Your Original State Journal is designed to help you look at your life in widescreen, away from the screen:
Your Time in Nature: track how much time you spend outside in beneficial, natural spaces each day, week and month.
Your Activities in Nature: use the resources and tools to plan the activities you want to do in nature. The Journal will help you keep your nature experience wide open, boosting your productivity, creativity and resilience.
Your Locations in Nature: With 10 categories of natural landscape to build your adventure plans around - from urban to wider afield - you can keep your nature experience fresh. You'll come back refreshed and revitalised, with a different perspective on how to tackle your life's priorities.
I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.
Henry David Thoreau
PRODUCTIVITY: REDEFINED BY NATURE
If to-do lists, multitasking, and deadlines leave you burned out, anxious and stressed, take a leaf from nature's book. Your Original State Journal will help you refocus, and redefine how you stay productive:
Physical Health and Body: Define and track your exercise in nature. Being in nature lowers your heart rate; reduces physical stress; and improves your sleep, your rate of exercise and your immune function.
Mental and Cognitive Performance: Define and track your activities that help with mental focus. Being in nature improves creativity, problem solving, critical thinking, concentration and focus.
Emotional Wellbeing and Growth: Define and track your activities that promote emotional wellbeing. Benefit from nature's ability to improve mood, reduce irritability and anger, and give you the happiness effect.

Get Perspective: Away from nature, we lose awareness
of our connection to a much wider, wilder world outside. We
experience a disconnection to the biodiversity of our planet.
SEE THE WOOD, AND THE TREES
Your Original State Journal will help you establish and maintain a strong connection to nature so you get to see it all - the wood, the trees, and beyond:
Current Nature Connection: Learn about the starting point of your connection to nature, health and wellbeing before you begin your nature journey.
Nature Connection Weekly Check-In: A visual tool to understand how close you feel to nature, so you can understand if you need to feel and do more to get the benefits into your daily life.
Conservation Goals And Actions: Set out and track your conservation and sustainability actions. By building nature into every day, you not only start to benefit from seeing your own big picture, but you'll do more to help nature's.
MONTHLY SECTIONS
