Vice: A 9/11 Witness Raises Awareness of Mental Health Misdiagnoses

Optimalist – Guided Journal
I’m excited to announce that, in partnership with The Scribes, we’ve just launched The Optimalist Guided Journal – a tool designed to bring clarity to goal setting while raising awareness of mood, wellbeing, and daily focus. This collaboration blends science-backed structure with creative freedom, helping you stay intentional and grounded in both productivity and self-care.
The journal features erasable dry-marker pages, allowing you to prioritize tasks, tick off goals once completed, and create flexible daily or weekly schedules that can be updated as your plans evolve. It also includes dotted pages for notes, reflections, and sketches – perfect for tracking progress or creative thinking.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this project possible, especially Michael Reiney, CEO of @thescribesco, and my incredibly talented friend @littletigernyc for the beautiful logo design.
The Optimalist Journal is now available in the Shop section.
