We’d say a list is essential to make sure this doesn’t happen. A small notebook in your bag or pocket is an ideal tool to help you with this.
Health and Fitness:
Keeping track of things like weight loss, diet, training schedules could help with any new fitness campaign and increase your chances of sticking to it. Remembering when you last weighed yourself can be great motivation to continue. If you lift weights then keeping a record of your improvement can be useful, same for running, we know there is Garmin and other options but a simple 5 second jot down of your PB and latest times gives you quick access from your kit bag of your aims for today’s session.
Keeping track of your diet can help with things like health and well-being and help you resolve things like fatigue and so on. Knowing what you have eaten and when can help form good habits too.
Children’s Development:
Children grow so quick and things like height are all a fun part of this. Children love to be creative so you can chart progress in all manner of areas such as development, learning and more. Setting tasks or puzzles in a notebook is a cheap and fun way to encourage growth and development all whilst having fun.
You could also use the notebook for chores and encouraging children to complete these and tick off as done. Earning pocket money in the process.
Food and Diet:
Keeping track of what you have eaten can help wit all sorts of problems, financing food bills, tracking weight loss, diet and allergies perhaps. Keeping a daily record means you can compare different days when perhaps you felt tired or had more energy. All useful information. If you are on a calorie controlled diet then a daily record can help with this. Dieting and weight loss can be easily tracked too. You could use your notebook to pre-plan meals ahead so you know what you are eating for the week ahead, perfect for a busy lifestyle.
Money & Finances:
The one thing that most of us worry about is money and finances. Simply having a few lists or notes can make all the difference when it comes to managing money, like knowing when your next payday is or when the largest bill is due out. Also keeping track of spend such as food bills, eating out, commuting costs can all be easily tracked and recorded in your small notebook.
We know there are plenty of applications on your laptop or phone to help but when out and about keeping a record of impulse buys or unplanned spend can help you run your finances smoother.
