Let's get the ball rolling in this community!

This is the post where we can all introduce ourselves and talk about what sort of journals and planners we're into. Remember, anything related to journals and planners is on topic here.

independence1776 and I will make monthly posts to keep the comm active, but we hope you'll also post regularly. Don't forget that pictures are encouraged!

I have a small date planner in my purse for personal things, like doctors appointments, but because I moderate so many fandom communities, many years ago I realized that I needed a calendar to keep track of all the things I had to do, and so my 'fandom calendar' was born. This is a picture of this past January, color-coded by community/challenge. (I use a Kris Allen calendar so I have pretty pictures to look at each month, though in the past I've also used the calendar Avon gives away because they had some nice pictures, too.)



For the future, I have personal goals that revolve around eating better and getting more exercise, so I was wondering if there's a specific journal (or journaling-type) that would work best for that sort of thing? (When I first started eating low-carb, I just kept notes in a ring binder, and that worked very well for me, but I'm thinking that I might want something that allows me to make goals and look back, reassess, that sort of thing.)

I love the color-coding!

I got this one to track food and exercise:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/149538294X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's undated, so you can start it anytime. It's only for like three or four months, though.

The first page has a place to set goals or record milestones and then each page lets you track your sleep, what you eat for each meal, your exercise and how much water you drink.

I'm not going to get it again because I ended up not using it to track anything but my weight and my workouts which is kind of a waste. A notebook is a better idea for me, I think.
