This template has two main ways to "journal" about your favorite activities. One to document/plan and the other to reminisce:

Here's an example of an answered prompt:

(so cute. I'm not the best at it, but same <3. any ice skating lover girlies out there?)

There's an instruction script that walks you through how to use the template (perfectly broken down into little steps—I love a good manual!).

And an archive space where you can store some of your old journal entries:

I hope you enjoy this template as much as I enjoyed making it. It's both heartwarming and gothic-ish, so I hope it brings you lots of smiles!

200223 // entry no. 007

i've been looking back at my to do list (which i promptly forgot about) and realised i had achieved everything i wanted to o so far for january (which shocked me because i never actually finish my lists... like ever).

not only have i done the basics but have continued (going to therapy and the gym) and i would daresay i even grew my small business (a teeny tiny amount).

i can't wait to open my small shop online (march!!) and have yet to decide the date. i was thinking about opening on the equinox, but i'm worried that it's too far off.

2022.09.09 // 17:28  getting back into the routine of going to classes! i like taking handwritten notes in class and then typing them up in notion afterward

I just discovered my new favorite day of the week. The 'reset day'. It's a day where you spend your time productive, recharge & reset yourself for the new week. It doesn't have to be the only focus of the day, it can also just be a few hours or minutes of your day.

This routine will help you start a new week on the right foot, feeling organized and ready for a new week. Apparently, it should also help you to stop feeling like your life is all over the place. And that's something I can use right now so that I feel less overwhelmed with life. I will share with you how I do it, but you should definitely change it to fit it in with your routine. The important part is that you choose the elements that work for you.

Schedule a day (or a part of a specific day)

Okay, so here's the deal. Look at your weekly schedule and choose a day you can implement this in your life. It does not have to be a Sunday. I choose to do this on Monday because Sundays are always so hectic in my house.

2. Write down your goals

When you've figured out a day, start by thinking about the goal. Why are you doing this? What are your reasons for doing it? To relax? To care for your health? To get organized? To connect with your loved ones? Setting your intentions will make you more likely to stick with the routine.

3. What to do

I divide the process into 5 categories:

mental health

Do something for yourself, for your mental well-being. Do things that you enjoy doing, or that make you feel relaxed, and energized, or things that help you clear your mind like talking to friends or writing in your journal.

physical health

Get moving. Studies show that walking actually helps you to feel more energized & it helps you to clear your head.

environment/space

Organize, clean, tidy, and declutter your space. A clean space = a clear mind. It helps you to feel less overwhelmed with where your life overall.

work/school

This category is all about catching up on work or school-related things. Review how your previous week went & plan your new week. Make a new brain dump to-do list. Update your calendar, plan your study schedule, and more.

motivation

A new week means new weekly goals. So think about your goals, and write them down. Plan your week. But, more importantly, plan something to look forward to. Something that will get you through the week.

Notionblr's Ultimate Activity Tracker

The best and final version of my Hobby Tracker is here! And honestly you can use it to track pretty much any kind of activity, so Activity Tracker is more acurate. I've made my own variations with very small and simple tweaks to track my cleaning schedule, my adulting tasks like paying rent and whatnot, as well as my hobbies, of course.

I think by now you know how to use this, and it's pretty self-explanatory, but if not, go to the original Hobby Tracker post, or just visit the actual template on Notion, where I have detailed instructions.
