## What are The School of Life Journal Prompt Cards?

**They are a boxed set of 52 cards with writing prompts, made for people who journal and are not sure what to write about.** The School of Life is a London company; its shop is run by Campus London Limited, which its terms of service say trades as The School of Life. The maker's line is that journaling is one of the most effective ways to regain direction and calm, but what to journal about isn't always clear. We read the product page on November 5, 2026.

The cards are a companion to a notebook, not a notebook. For a notebook from the same maker, see its [Writing Journal](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/the-school-of-life-writing-journal/) and its linen-bound [Writing as Therapy Notebook, Ideas](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/the-school-of-life-writing-as-therapy-notebook-ideas/).

## What are the size and specs?

**52 cards at 91 × 67 mm.** The maker's listing gives these figures.

| Spec | The School of Life says |
|---|---|
| Cards | 52 |
| Size | 91 × 67 mm |
| Card stock | Not stated |
| Made in | Not stated |
| Price | £15 (about US$20), UK shop, November 5, 2026 |
| Price band | $$ ($5 to $20) |

The listing does not say whether 91 × 67 mm is the card or the box, and it does not give the orientation. The maker's photo shows a box that is taller than wide, so we drew the set portrait. The maker gives no card weight or thickness.

## What do the prompts ask?

**They ask about relationships, careers, emotions and ambitions.** The maker says each prompt engages the mind in things that matter most and invites us to explore inside ourselves. Its examples are to write a letter you want to send but never will, to describe who you want to be this time next year, and to list the ways you are a little bit unusual and reflect on why that might not matter so much. We saw only the five examples on the page, not the full 52.

## How do the cards fit a journal?

**They are meant to be used as you journal, for inspiration and encouragement.** The maker gives no method: no draw-one-a-day rule or spread. A sensible use, which is ours and not the maker's, is to pull one card, write on it for a set time, and keep the cards with the notebook. The maker's photo shows blue lines on the face of a card, and we cannot say from it whether you write on a card.

## What colors does it come in?

**One design: a blue box.** The maker's photo shows a mid-blue box with a dotted pattern and a darker folded corner that reveals a pale card. The maker does not name the colors; the name is ours and the tint was sampled from the photo.

## Who are the Journal Prompt Cards for?

**They suit people who sit down to journal and stall, because the 52 prompts give a topic to start from.**

- **Journaling and planning:** 52 cards on relationships, careers, emotions and ambitions, made to be used alongside a journal.

Skip it if you want a set you can buy today or a stated card weight: it showed as sold out, and the maker gives no card stock. For pens to write with, see our [best pens for journaling](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-pens-for-journaling/).

## Where is it made, and what does it cost?

**Not stated, and £15 (about US$20) in the UK shop on November 5, 2026.** That is in our $$ band ($5 to $20), just under the $20 line after conversion. The shop showed the set as sold out that day. We did not check overseas prices or other sellers, and prices change with shipping and tax.
