Aside from taking photos I also keep a BUJO and a scrapbook style journal. (I print everything on sticker paper and arrange everything onto the pages. I try to make one everyday as my daily journal.)

I'm doing a writing challenge in May, today my challenge is to list five places I want to visit :)
1. Animal = a waskelly wabbit
2. Water = H20, because dehydration is a soldier's worst enemy.
3. Flower = well ain't that a daisy
4. Show = Must go on.
5. Relax = a hammock and palm trees, what's not to relax about that?
6. Food = Dean Winchester gets this reference (but probably not Castiel)
7. Leaves = I did consider a door slamming shut.
This is my meal planning spread. I do a large amount of the cooking, but coming up with the ideas is the worst part for me. So on the left are a number of ideas, color coded to match the columns on the right side. On the right is a daily track of what we had for dinner. I use this to gauge the amount of takeout/eating out we do.
When you are your own boss and there is no one to tell you what you should do, you can feel kind of lost and unfocused. You set yourself extreme goals each day and get all cross with yourself that you didnt do as much as you could. Well when I could work normally before the pandemic, this was my saviour. I started Bullet Journalling, each day my list of jobs were committed to and if I didnt get around to doing a task, it just 'migrated' to the next day. What that actually means is you write it down on your next day's 'to do list' after doing that so many days for those tasks you never get around to (eg website updates/blogs etc) you actually get fed up with keep writing it and actually do it.
You can also add fun things in you need to do too.
This practice I have been doing for about 4 years and absolutely loved it, I even ran a few workshops in my home town about doing it.
But I had felt that this year with no real work tasks to write in, that I felt lost and thought starting it up during lockdown would make me sad, seeing as there is no real exciting work that I can do right now.
So I took January off. and started my journal in February and I have LOVED it. It's great to have time to decorate various pages and to have time away from screens whilst you are doing it.
My inspiration is Nikki McWilliams, google her she has load of great tutorials and also sells journals and pens and designs washi and alsorts!
Do you journal?
This is my monthly spread.
On the left is a linear calendar on which I get a quick glance at what is going on. On the current day, I put a box around the day in the little calendar in the top right corner. I block out the day in the linear calendar the next day.
On the right is my monthly log. It's the end of the month and I still have a lot to do! You can see some of the items have been forwarded to a daily list, while others just got taken care of and marked as finished. The number behind a task is the number of months this task has been on the list. A 2 means it was also on last month's log and was forwarded to this month. I need to get better about doing these.

Here's a daily spread. I don't try to lay out an entire week on a spread, I just add as I go. I track coffee (the orange cups) and the pill is to track whether I took my meds or not (it sucks getting old).
I don't always worry about forwarding incomplete tasks so long as I'm still on the same spread or sheet of paper.
I'm still playing with how to handle tasks I have to do "later this week" (see Thursday's list)
