Journaling Tools
Write Time Journaling Starter Kit
Fun fact: I used to get so excited about school supplies as a kid and honestly, I still do! There’s something magical about fresh paper and colourful pens that never gets old.
A simple, welcoming set of tools to help you begin — or deepen — your journaling practice.
Journaling doesn’t need to be complicated or fancy, or require perfect handwriting. What matters is creating a space that feels calm, supportive, and yours. The Write Time Starter Kit is designed for women over 50 who want a gentle, flexible way to reconnect with themselves — one page at a time.
Below, you’ll find my favourite binder‑based journaling essentials. I chose each item for comfort, ease, and the ability to grow with you as your writing journey unfolds.
A Refillable Binder
A gentle, sturdy home for your journaling practice. This affordable white Avery binder is simply perfect for creating a journaling system that grows with you. The three ring binder system holds up to 375 pages, giving you plenty of room for daily reflections, seasonal themes, gratitude lists, and creative inserts.
The clear front cover lets you personalize your binder with your own creative cover page making it even more personal.
It’s strong enough for everyday use, flexible enough to reorganize anytime, and lays flat for easy use, making it an easy foundation for your journaling journey.
Loose-Leaf Refill Lined Paper
Smooth, loose-leaf ruled pages that feel comfortable for everyday journaling. Perfect for everyday use without the intimidation of writing on pre-printed pages of journals that don't offer the flexibility that using loose-leaf pages does.
Hilroy - A Canadian classic - simple, clean and great for daily writing.
Dividers with Tabs
Durable plastic tabs, soft colours, and easy to reorganize. Ideal for creating sections like Gratitude, Reflection, Seasonal Prompts, Creative Pages, and Letters to Yourself.
Avery Big Tab Insertable Dividers
Bright, clear tabs with lots of writing space.
My Pen Choice
Clear Binder Pockets
Clear pockets for keepsakes, notes, affirmations, or printed journaling prompts.
The Antner 8 Pack provides enough pockets to get you started. With the convenient ziper pouch the pockets keep your items such as photos, theatre tickets, mementos and more safe and secure.
If you're like me you are going to love these cheerful, motivational pens!
Add a little spark of encouragement to your journaling practice. Each pen comes in a bright, uplifting colour and features a short inspirational message — gentle reminders like “Go for it” and “You got this” that bring a moment of positivity whenever you pick one up.
They write smoothly with clean black ink, making them lovely for daily journaling, gratitude lists, or quick notes. The soft stylus tip on the end lets you move easily between your journal and your phone or tablet, adding a touch of convenience to your day.
Lightweight, comfortable, and individually wrapped, they’re wonderful for sharing — a small, thoughtful gift for friends, coworkers, or anyone who could use a little encouragement. A simple tool that brings colour, ease, and motivation to your writing moments.
