Here's a few more things I record in my journal:
- Weekly meals. I'm a big fan of taking leftovers to work, both for me and my boyfriend. So I got into a habit of making a list of what each of us is having for lunch and what we are both having for dinner. This helps me make my shopping list in a flash, and means we don't have to get creative at 5pm after a full work day. To make this work, I have also started putting reminder on my phone for when I need to defrost food, and when we have more leftovers than anticipated, to label and freeze them before they spoil.
- Weekly goals. Same as the monthly goals feed from the Yearly resolutions list, the weekly goal list imports tasks from the monthly goals, plus it adds everything I expect to accomplish that week. This includes the number of times I want to meditate and exercise, and if I expect to finish a book. I also like to add anything nice that happens that week, like going to the cinema, or going to Ikea, or doing a face mask.
- Daily goals. By now you can guess what happens here. I usually use two pages to cover the whole week. Every day I make a section for that day and list everything I want to accomplish that day. Meetings, important work tasks, remembering to buy bread or pick up clothes, house chores I want to do, people I want to call, meditate, exercise, etc.
- Sleep log. Because of my irregular bouts of insomnia I like to track my sleep to spot any patterns. There are highly complicated and complex sleep logs you can get online, personally I find less is more, so I only note down what time I went to bed, what time I got up, and how many hours I slept.
- Braindumps. This is what I call my "I just had an idea I need to jot down before I forget" pages. It will be anything, from ideas for posts, to recipes to google, to present ideas.
