Frequently Asked Questions
-
During the initial days we wanted a word to encompass or epitomize our heart for helping people journey through different seasons of life and something that stood out. We played around with several ideas but “Sonnal” which is essentially the last three letters of “seaSON” and the last three letters of “jourNAL”.
We believe that Sonnal is unique enough to stand out but also serve as the link or bridge to connect our different seasons and the journey of a productivity journal. -
Sonnal was born from a desire to live differently - to resist the noise and pressure of hustle culture and embrace a more grounded, meaningful way of life.
Rooted in values like rest, purpose, and gratitude, Sonnal draws quiet inspiration from the way of Jesus and the truth found in Scripture.It’s not a devotional, but it is a tool designed to create space for reflection, clarity, and a deeper connection to what truly matters.
-
Each Sonnal journal is designed to walk with you for 12 weeks - a seasonal journey that gives just enough structure without feeling like a forever commitment.
-
Yes. While Sonnal is a productivity journal, it’s not about scheduling every hour of your day - it’s about prioritizing what matters and making space for intentional living.
If you already use a daily planner or digital calendar, Sonnal won’t compete - it will complement.
Think of it as a mindset shift tool: helping you focus, reflect, and move through each day with clarity and purpose, not just checkboxes. -
Q - Quick, easy tasks that can be tackled in a flash.
P - Personal or household tasks that keep life running smoothly.
C - Critical, deep work that requires deep focus and mental energy.
F - Fun tasks that remind you to connect, unwind, and enjoy life. By dividing your day into different productivity types we believe it can give you a great overview of where you spend most of your time. -
We firmly believe that we should work FROM rest rather work TOWARDS rest.
The omission of Sunday is simply a reminder to rest, disconnect, and simply be. -
We believe gratitude is more than a feeling. It’s a practice that fuels your mindset and enhances your life.
In Sonnal, we treat gratitude like a daily supplement, essential for your well-being. Each week, you’ll be prompted with a specific gratitude challenge, designed to push you beyond reflection and into action.
This is your invitation to engage actively with gratitude by reaching out, showing appreciation, and strengthening your connections. -
The Droplist is your weekly task overview, including both new and carryover tasks from the previous week. This is where you can organize your to-dos and prioritize what needs to get done. Break it down, stay focused, and get things done!
-
No guilt here. Life happens and Sonnal is here for the journey, not perfection. Just pick up where you left off. Every page is an invitation, not an obligation.
-
Sonnal’s first journal is built to meet most people right where they are with prompts and rhythms that fit a variety of life seasons.
Whether you're navigating chaos or craving clarity, it’s a space to reset, refocus, and reengage with what matters most.
And as we grow, we plan to offer even more tools for specific seasons of life.
