4 TYPES OF NOTEBOOKS THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE.
It’s another bright morning and you need to get up. You need to get up and go to work which is very challenging if you are not a morning person. What’s so different about today is that your mind is all cluttered and disorganized. You see having a disorganized mind highly affect your daily performance, at least that’s how things work for me.
It gets harder getting up day by day and all you want to do is sleep the whole day long but thinking about it you got to pay your bills. The question is how do you get a clear mind and make each day more exciting and get to do everything on time.
It all starts with how you organize your thoughts, daily, monthly schedules. A solution to all this is writing down your stuff, like all of it. It does work, take that from me. So I am going to suggest some habits that could work for you or not. Life has no formula they say…
- Have a daily schedule notebook
Yes, a notebook where you write your daily plans. What you gotta do is just tick each activity after you are done. And believe me, it feels do great when everything on your daily schedule is ticked off.
In case not everything was done on that particular day you can try to reason as to why it wasn’t done and reschedule it for another day. You should also learn to prioritize your tasks, the most urgent ones should be done first.
- Have a treasure book.
Well, that’s how I decided to name it, you could call yours a different name. It’s a notebook where you write your deals/business ideas/services. Any money-related task to be exact.
With the treasure, book write the deal, describe it shortly, write the subtasks, the schedule and the money to be paid, the deadline and all the important details related to that task.
- Have a plan book.
This is where you write all your plans and ideas and what you are really going to do about them. Write a plan, schedule it, write the requirements and if there are any sub-plans under it jot them down. If you have to set a budget for it then gladly do it, or if you need to have a saving plan then that’s the right book for it.
- Have a savings book.
The savings book will serve as a place where you write your budget, write your savings plan, write your expenses, write your income and all that.
I used to have a single notebook for all of these ( my plans, my daily schedule, my money-related tasks ) until I decided to have separate books for all of them to make my focus much clearer and my organization much better.
I suggest that you should have mini-notebooks so that you can easily carry them around.
With the recent trend where everything is digitized, you can use apps to do all of that. Personally, for plans, I use the Notes app or Day One, for daily schedules I use Day One and for savings I use Mobills. I actually admit that recently I went back to the old fashioned way, writing on real tangible notebooks.
BONUS TIP: I watched a vlog recently that’s where I first heard of a vision board, then the other day I talked to a sister-friend about the same thing. And I told myself why not.
The vision board is a DIY kinda thing, so yes I made mine at home too. It’s a board where you write your visions and goals for a particular year. You can make it more visual by printing your visons in pictures format to make it more realistic.
It has been just a few days since I made my vision board and tell you what that board motivates me and gives me a drive for each day. It’s not that you can’t write them goals on your notebook, but waking up to a board with your visions or coming back from work or school to such a thing just hits different.
Make sure you keep your vision board, somewhere visible, somewhere that you will always see it.
So tell us about it, do you have any notebook and what do you use it for.
