FAQs

What kinds of journaling prompts are inside?

Every puzzle is paired with a guided journaling prompt. The prompts span a variety of themes:

  • Mindfulness & Presence: noticing sounds, sensations, and small details of the moment
  • Body & Breath Awareness: somatic check-ins that ask where you feel things in the body
  • Gratitude & Small Joys: the overlooked pleasures, the things that made you smile
  • Habits & Daily Rituals: intentions, routines, and the practices that bring you back to center
  • Self-Compassion: kindness toward yourself, forgiveness, letting go
  • Growth & Reflection: lessons from challenges, how you've changed, who you're becoming

What is the difficulty level of the Sudoku puzzles?

Our sudoku puzzles lean slightly easier to promote focus and a calm, stress-free solving flow, while still offering a satisfying challenge. Each sudoku journal is evenly split across easy, medium, and hard levels, with a complete answer key included.

If I buy two copies of the same book, are they identical?

Yes. Multiple copies of the same book are always identical. For example, 3 copies of Volume I contain the same puzzles and guided journaling prompts.

Do Volume I and Volume II have the same puzzles?

No. Each volume is its own book, with new puzzles and new prompts in each and no repeats between them.

What is the difference between The Original and The Keepsake?

The Keepsake is a giftable edition of The Original Mindful Sudoku Journal (Volume I). They contain the same puzzles and prompts.

The Keepsake is elevated by design: bound in linen, hardcover, completely lay-flat, with a built-in ribbon bookmark, thicker pages, and new opening pages including explanations of how to play sudoku and the method behind Mindful Sudoku.

If you're looking for new puzzles and prompts, choose Volume II.

Our paperback sudoku journals are A5 size (5.83" × 8.2") with a soft-touch matte paperback cover. The interior features cream paper that’s perfect for both pen and pencil. Made with FSC-certified paper that supports responsible forestry.

The Keepsake is wrapped in a linen-bound hardcover, measuring 6.1" x 8.5" overall. The interior pages lay completely flat with thicker cream paper and a built-in ribbon bookmark. Made with FSC-certified paper that supports responsible forestry.

Really really great experience

I saw mindful sudoku on tiktok and bought a couple books for me and my friends. The experience of being able to calm my mind with a sudoku puzzle before journaling actually really works. I was also really glad that all the puzzles have one solution, and overall they are some of the best puzzles i've experienced. Highly recommend, and I will be buying again!

Thank you Declan for your Sudoku puzzle feedback, absolutely love hearing you have experienced the benefits of Mindful Sudoku!

This Book Got Me Through a Tough Summer!

This book really got me through a tough summer! I started recently in July, and I was going through personal issues that left me near depression. I found videos of Mindful Sudoku on tiktok and thought, why not? Sudoku and journaling seems interesting! I noticed a change instantly with my sleep quality. I was sleeping through the night, because it feels like you're doing an enrichment exercise for your brain right before bed. 2nd thing I noticed was the change in my mood and getting to brain dump into these journal prompts. It helped me feel like my situation was not as big as it needed to be. It truly helped pull me out of a dark place in my life, and I will be raving about this book forever! I love playing sudoku now!! I'm not advanced, but I love the challenge of attempting one. Seriously get this if you want better sleep quality and mental clarity!!

Haphuong, this made my entire year!! Thank you for sharing how Mindful Sudoku helped you with a difficult time in your life.

The idea for Mindful Sudoku came to me after a dark period in my life, similar to yours: playing Sudoku soothed my cycles of overthinking and broke my attachment with my phone (I doomscrolled on social media as a form of escaping difficult emotions); journaling taught me self awareness & helped me process/separate from all of the chaos in my mind; I wanted to combine Sudoku + Journaling into one book so others could experience the benefits of both in one practice.

I created this sudoku journal to help you reconnect with yourself, give you more peace, and guide you towards living a more mindful life; hearing you have gotten so much out of Mindful Sudoku is all I could wish for as someone who is trying to make a positive impact. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback :)

Ease on the mind

I absolutely love this book! I suffer from server flight anxiety where my mind is always a thousand miles per hour. Something with anxiety I can’t just sit still in a plane but this mindful Sudoku did the trick. I was so focused in solving the puzzles then moving into writing or drawing it kept me entertained the whole way. Sometimes it’s the little things we miss that make the biggest difference. Thank you so much for putting this together!

Great purchase

This journal is so amazing! As somebody who has been struggling to get into journaling this is an amazing start! I love the challenge of sudoku and being able to release on paper with each prompt. Such a variety of different prompts that makes this not feel too heavy and helps to be achievable!

Simple yet profound prompts

This is useful when I don’t think I have time or patience for a “full on” journal entry. The sudoku puzzle primes my writing focus and I am able to answer the prompt right after with little preparation. Very useful during and after a full day.

Easy path to mindfulness

The genius combo of sudoku and a mindful journal has transformed my daily routine. Instead of using my phone in the morning, I spend 15 minutes using this and it changes my the rest of my day. I'm calmer, more focused at work, and learning a ton about myself. The puzzles naturally guide you into mindfulness without having to try too hard. Already ordered copies for family and friends this holiday season. Perfect for anyone who finds traditional meditation challenging, but craves a moment of peace in their day!
