Long Term Tracking Ideas

8 Upvotes

Since I have a plan for my 2027 journal already (which will 100% change in the next three months haha), I've decided to start a bujo-related project that's been rattling around in my head for a while. I want to centralize practical information I might need to easily reference in the future.

Some topics I've identified include:

  • Medical (medications, doctors, procedures, insurance)
  • House (maintenance, vendors, projects, reference lists)
  • Budget (quarterly check-in, loan tracking, account list)
  • Addresses and birthdays
  • Pets (microchip, vet, food preferences)

What are some other things I might want to add?

List Tracking my end of the year with Godzilla movies

Post image
20 Upvotes

Long story short my work life is about to be a bit crazy and exhausting. I weirdly have an exact date when things should calm down and get better. So for the next 72 days I will be watching every Godzilla movie. Just a way to keep my soul for the foreseeable future.

I've been wanting to watch them all for awhile now. Not doing any particular or order and every other day, including 5 double features, I will be watching one.

Every movie is marked with the year, country of origin, and a place for me to mark them off. Two of them are on the same square because they were released for the American market with new scenes and dialogue. The colors on the edges are the era they come from.

Question Sisterhood of the traveling journal Europe

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 💌
I have a Sisterhood of the Traveling Journal group with six girls, but unfortunately one of our members had to leave the group tonight for personal reasons. So we now have one spot open and would love to find someone new to join us! 🥰📖

Our next journal send out is coming up pretty soon, originally October 10th, although we can extend it to October 15th to give our new member a little extra time.

I know it’s quite short notice, but I thought I’d ask anyway: would anyone be interested in joining our little sisterhood? 💕✨
If you’re interested, send me a message or comment and I’ll happily explain how everything works!

Rapid Logging How do I keep my journal from becoming a mundane daily to-do list?

40 Upvotes

I have had basic bullet journals (future log, monthly log, rapid logging etc) on and off, but somehow they always turn into… a planner that contains repetitive lists of repetitive daily tasks… nothing connected with broader goals or intentions. I seem to keep using the journal as a place to dump reminders or new mundane tasks that urgently have to be done that day but don’t get me any further toward anything resembling an intention (other than “I intend to not let the dishes pile up this week”). Then I get tired of using a journal as a running to do list, and dump the journal. Cycle repeats.

Has this happened to anyone else, and how did you get over it and make the journal into something other than that?

Anyone have recommendations on a quality BuJo with 250 pages? One that won’t fall apart as it gets fat pls!

Habit Tracker Acid/ Food sensitivity tracker, updated

Post image
22 Upvotes

Posted this before, not so great. This is an update for context and attempted artistry. Day 1: 1 bubble not bad, cauldron grey. Day 2, no reactions! Cauldron grey. Day 3, oof. Had to take meds. So it tracks how upset my tummy was with bubble clusters and numbers, and then the reaction; so on day 3, today, I ate pizza, and the fallout was me up at 1 am with insomnia drinking a tall glass of alka seltzer. Rated 4 for discomfort, 2 acid bubbles, and an orange cauldron square because it woke me & I had to take meds. Let me know what you think or if you would change anything. It's a monthly for me, could easily be a weekly.

Habit Tracker I hate spiders

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I absolutely hate spiders. Since moving into my room in Japan, these small spiders started showing up. They are like 0.5 cm or something but they are still very scary looking. Like the tiny version of those massive big black spiders. No thank you. So I decided to make a tracker for how many spiders I have smacked so far (and the one massive cockroach also has its own cameo). I really hope it stays empty like this, but I am fearful :').
