And since I'm a lot better at working and getting stuff done than I am at actually taking care of myself, I decided to add a little self-care tracker this week (alright, I started Thursday.).įirst self-care tracker in my bullet journal: Habit trackers are fun! I'm still intimidated by large monthly ones, but tiny weekly trackers? Those are the perfect baby steps in the right direction. I refuse to even write down household chores - I do those on autopilot and I'm trying to keep my journal focused on work and art. It just seemed like so much effort for tasks that would, in themselves, already be an effort. I've so far never felt the need to add a habit tracker. Habit tracker: First steps for self-care tracking I need to give my days structure through my to-do lists instead of fixed time slots.I need a lot of space to break down projects into smaller and smaller tasks.I don't really need a very detailed monthly overview - most plans fall apart as soon as a new client commission comes in, or a deadline moves up.What does that mean for my bullet journaling habits? Most of my own appointments are very spontaneous (seems to be a culture thing here in Korea - most of the time, friends just drop by the house unannounced) and my days aren't defined by events, work hours or meetings, but projects and tasks. It also gives a great feeling of satisfaction whenever I get to use the 'permanent' journal and write down any results of the past month.Īnother personal adjustment is still very much a work in progress: My weekly and daily layouts.Īs a freelancer, self-employed, working from home (and with an unpredictable housing situation in the near future) most of the systems I've tried in the beginning focused too much on events and appointments. As I describe in this post on my overall planner and journal setup, this makes one of the two 'bullet journals' a more permanent record keeper, and the other a flexible daily planner. One personal adjustment that works very well for me is keeping anything related to the past - like writing down achievements, social media stats and finances - and fixed dates like deadlines in a separate journal.
