Monthly Update (January 2021)

          I started working on my goals at the end of December. I used a workbook that I put together myself. I worked on each of my goals separately but first I did a survey of my goals from last year.


Since I had my yearly goals all set I decided to work on my new journal. I knew I didn’t want to stay in my ferris wheel journal because I wanted nothing to do with anything from 2020. So this is the notebook from Notebook Therapy that I am currently using. 


          First I set up the pages that are going to stay as a staple like a grid that shows me the box count on each day and how many boxes I am going to need for my month at a glance for example. 




          Next a title page for 2021, a review of last year and my budget page. 



I made a title page for January and a month at a glance page which included my trackers.




Finally a page for my goals, blog ideas and books read. 


I also have a weekly study tracker and a daily study tracker which I made for myself. I like to know what I expect of myself all week (weekly tracker) and what I actually get done during the day. 






This is how I use the daily tracker. 




By using this daily tracker I can see what bits take up more time and how much time I am really spending at studying.

I love my new journal. The pages are really thick which makes it easy to use watercolor and other mediums on it.
