WELCOME TO SOULCRAFT JOURNALS

WE CREATE ANALOG RECORDING DEVICES FOR THOSE WITH A PASSION FOR CREATING, BUILDING, AND DOING. EACH OF OUR JOURNALS ARE BUILT AS A SPECIFIC TOOL FOR A GIVEN PURPOSE OR CRAFT.

Our flagship journal and the kickstart to Soulcraft Journals.As the owner and builder of a 40-year old motorcycle, I need to keep track of a lot of numbers, dates, and ideas. I found that I had notes strewn across multiple locations, i.e., my smart phone, shop manual, and random pieces of paper. I needed a place to keep track of oil changes, cylinder compression, chain tensioner ideas, wiring, as well as a number of other things I always think I’ll remember. Using my phone or computer with grubby hands wasn’t always an option. Plus, I like to be able to work out an issue or idea through sketches, on my workbench or on the road.Besides keeping track of things, I needed a quick reference guide for measurement conversions that weren’t used enough to memorize. I also needed something that I could carry with me on trips, or when I was riding around trying out different carburetor jets.

The DOER is 50% goal planner and 50% sketchbook. I was carrying around two books. One was a goal / day planner and the other was a sketchbook. Toting around two books while riding my bicycle to the office added extra weight and I was only using about 1/3rd of the goal planner anyhow. What I really needed was one book to accomplish both tasks.By combining the most useful sections of a goal planner with the openness of a dot-grid sketchbook, I now have the perfect tool for organizing my day, as well as capturing all the ideas I accumulate along the way. I have a feeling you’ll appreciate the combo, as well.Unfortunately I'm out of stock. :(

DECISION CHARTS VOL. 1

Making decisions about things more complex than vanilla or chocolate can get difficult, especially when it comes to business. Soulcraft Journals’ Decision Charts can help you make those complex decisions in a structured and organized way. Using visual charts can help clarify the decision-making process by breaking it down into steps and identifying key factors. This can help reduce bias and emotion in decision-making and improve the overall quality of the decision. Additionally, decision charts can allow for easier comparison of options and help identify potential consequences and risks associated with each option. By using decision charts, individuals can feel more confident and informed about their decisions, which can lead to better outcomes and less regret.I can’t guarantee you will make the right decisions, but these will help you think clearly about it.

ABOUT SOULCRAFT JOURNALS

Soulcraft Journals like many side projects was borne out of necessity. During the process of building my motorcycle, I needed to keep track of a lot of numbers, ideas, designs, and reference items. I found that I had notes strewn across multiple locations, i.e., my smart phone, shop manual, computer, and random pieces of paper. I needed a place to keep track of everything I was taking apart and attempting to assemble. Using my phone or computer with grubby hands wasn’t always an option. Plus, I like to be able to work out an issue or idea through sketches, on my workbench. Moving forward I wanted a good place to keep track of oil changes, cylinder compression, improvements, wiring, as well as a number of other things I always think I’ll remember. I also figured it’d be nice to have a quick reference guide for measurement conversions that I never used enough to memorize. I also needed something that I could carry with me while riding.And that’s how the Moto Memo was born!As a designer/business owner and visual learner, I always enjoy putting putting pen to paper to work out ideas. The Moto Memo seemed like the logical thing to create for myself and I figured if I needed it others might too. Moving forward I found I needed a better goal planner/sketchbook setup and created The Doer. Then came the Photo Memo, so I could keep track of my photography projects and street photography hobby.Thank you for visiting. I would love to hear from you.- Robert
