In an attempt to design my days more productively, I had been looking at journals and planners.  I was having a difficult time finding one that suited my needs.  Additionaly, I heard one of the biggest reasons people are less likely to journal is because it becomes another "chore" and yet another "book" to keep up with, at times becoming overwhelming.  I could definitely relate to that.  As I pondered this and other considerations, I decided to create my own.  It occurred to me that if I combined a journal with the elements of a day planner I would be able to record things as the day unfolds rather than trying to remember it all at the end of the day or possibly not doing it at all.  I am now making it available because I realized others may also find this tool useful.

Each day you are able to:

• record the attitude you choose to govern your day
• record five things you are grateful for
• record up to six major things that need your attention/focus
• record appointments
• record phone calls you need to make and/or ticklers to remind you of upcoming things

The opposite "Details" page allows you to journal, record your affirmations for the day, or anything else you desire.  There is also a Celebration box to note whatever you choose to celebrate for the day...be it shaving your legs (a real celebration for me some days J), calling a prospect on your chicken list, acquiring a new account, getting a fab pair of shoes on sale, or whatever you choose to celebrate.  You will find room in the back to record important addresses as well as a two-year calendar.  Each year is broken down into four quarters for your convenience.
