I write a log of my activities on the left, while keeping record of my child's developments on the right. I also save precious memories in a fun way with photos and stamps! Awesome!

If I put my own schedule on the left like me, and my family’s schedules on the right, it will be easier to keep track of everybody’s whereabouts. Also, I am logging what I eat every day helps me manage my health.

The weekly layout helps me keep track my child's food, sleep and health over the week and makes it easy to look back on. I can also look back at my meals over the course of a week, which helps with meal planning.

I use the customizable space in the weekly layout to keep a “gratitude log” where I write down who I want to thank that day, and why. Writing this log before going to bed helps me fall asleep with a happy feeling.

I’m face-to-face with my baby day after day. Every little thing is a treasure - what the baby ate and learned to do - so I write it down, little by little every day.When my child is older, I’ll have fun looking back on this record together!

I use several notebooks. In the JIBUN_TECHO, for example, I write down my impressions of my new stationery purchases! When I try out the items I’ve gone to the trouble of buying, I love them, so I’m glad I created this page. I also start by writing about the fun I had meeting my friends, like a journal entry!

I find it helpful to note down the dates of my Instagram campaigns, so I don’t forget, and maybe write few to-dos! My notebook mops up the information overspill from my brain. It’s for my eyes only, so I try to be honest with myself and write everything down.

Now and then I write about things that occur to me that I want to try, or my own thoughts, as the mood takes me. I note down things I’d like to do someday, and I reflect on the habits I need to change, and the things I need to be more broad-minded about. And when somebody I know acts in a way that makes me go “Wow! I want to be like that too!” I try and note it down right away so I won’t forget.

・Method 1: Sticking in washi tape.
・Method 2: Sticking in ticket stubs and business cards from stores I’ve visited. This transforms it into a mini travel log!
・Method 3: Sticking in stickers. My latest favorites are cute transparent stickers. The time spent at the store choosing stickers for my notebooks is also a bit of fun in my busy day.
・In a separate notebook, I write down the good things and opportunities that happened that day! (The image shows how I use the “meaning note” system.)

Two items I stuck in my JIBUN_TECHO are the business card for the restaurant where I had a gorgeous year-end dinner, and the ticket for my first snowboarding trip of the winter. They bring back fond memories and boost my motivation every time I see them!

The annual schedule: this is a pretty important page for me! I write down my work schedule and the days when I had personal meetings, not as a schedule for the future, but retrospectively, in terms of what actually happened. If I were to simply write out my work schedule from top to bottom, it would be difficult to see how many months any given project was going on. But if I write on the yearly page, I can look at the whole year at once, and see which projects I was working on over which time periods. I also find this very useful when writing my review of each project at the end of the year, as I forget easily (smile). Rather than spending 100% of my working time on a given project at any given time, I sometimes spend 70% on project A, 30% on project B, and so on. So it makes it easier for me to review things later if I log this extra information properly.

I scrap movie tickets, travel tickets, cafe cards, etc. on a separate binder instead of the Jibun Techo.
Using different colors to distinguish the columns makes it colorful and easier to read. I use blue (Kokuyo mark+) for my own work schedule, blue Frixion Pilot pen for my husband's work schedule so I can always edit, green for my gratitude log, pink for my husband's absence, and blue-black for other notes. I also use stamps and stickers for easy logging. The dot pens are useful for the Gantt chart.

Instead of forcing myself to write my 100 wishes all at once, I add a little by little when I remember. When I come across something interesting in travel or informational programs on TV, when I find places I want to go, food I want to try, or when I'm about to make a small wish come true. I write my sentences in past tense, and I put the date and ""done"" stamp on the ones I was able to accomplish. ""Did"" sounds more promising than ""want to"", doesn't it?
In the book list, I list the books borrowed from the library and note the date along with thoughts in the comment section. (I learned this idea from a fellow planner user). How I felt about the book is more important than what I read. When I want to read a book but haven't read it, I write ""not read"" to remind myself.
I use the multipurpose list to write a summary of impressive YouTube videos.

I wasn't so good at drawing at first, but after a few months, I began to create works that I was happy with. When I can't draw well, I refer to photos I took that day and draw as I see.
I use color pencils for coloring. The touch of color pencils makes food look delicious. I draw outlines whenever I can and add colors for those works later.

I highlight my travel period in my Monthly Picture Diary. It makes it easy to look back on the memories later.
