Quiet Days Press

Independent imprint · est. MMXXVI

Paper for a deliberate life.


Quiet Days Press makes guided journals and the one-page framework cards that go with them, for people who want a few honest minutes — not another system to maintain.

In the catalogue

Four journals. Three free cards.

The cards are free and ready now. The journals are finished print files waiting on their storefronts. Nothing here is a mockup: every image on this site is a page from the actual print file.

    Journal · Kaizen

    One Percent

    A 100-day Kaizen journal. One small thing a day, ten checkpoints, and a habit ledger for the whole run.

    Look inside

One practice, two volumes

Ascend

A 60-day journal for meeting yourself, in two halves. Volume One names the pattern you keep repeating. Volume Two works the gap between the pull and the choice. One hundred and twenty days end to end, with the same daily Sabotage Score running through both.

  1. Ascend Volume One paperback cover: the word ASCEND in letterspaced brass serif capitals on a deep forest-green field, above a brass line-drawn mountain with a dotted trail to the summit, the line 'A 60-Day Journal · Volume One: The Descent', and the Quiet Days Press imprint at the foot.

  2. Ascend Volume Two paperback cover: the word ASCEND in letterspaced cream serif capitals over a painted mountain peak at sunrise, with the line 'A 60-Day Journal · Volume Two: The Summit' and the Quiet Days Press imprint at the foot.

Framework cards

Three free companions · printable
  • The Mind Field Daily Framework Card: one printed page headed 'The Daily Practice' with three morning questions, the four Stoic virtues, and four evening questions. The One Percent Daily Card: a landscape card headed 'ONE PERCENT · Daily Card' with a line for today's one percent, three options — yes, not yet, chose rest — and a line for one thing noticed. The Ascend Framework Card, front: a landscape cream card headed 'ASCEND · Volume One · The Descent' with five numbered fields — today's mountain, the hidden need, one micro-shift, future-self check-in, and a 0 to 10 sabotage score.

    The framework cards

    Each journal has a one-page companion card that carries its whole practice. Take any of them without buying anything: the Stoic seven questions, the Kaizen three fields, or the two-sided Ascend card the whole series runs on.

The press

A narrow catalogue, on purpose.

Everything is designed and typeset in-house: one hairline rule under the imprint mark, the same colophon inside every volume, the same two typefaces throughout. Mind Field asks what is in your control. One Percent asks something smaller — what is the least you could do today that would still count. Ascend asks the hardest one: why you keep stopping.

The tools are built to be used with a pen for two minutes, then closed. If a page needs an explanation, it is not finished. If a book needs a streak counter to keep you honest, it was the wrong book.

The press is the work of Raul Pinalez, who would rather publish five things worth keeping than fifty worth scrolling past.
