Popular Types Of Journals For Everyday Tracking

Fitbook Fitness and Nutrition Journal

One of the number one reasons that people don’t get into shape and don’t focus on nutrition is because they look at the big picture.

Instead of focusing on getting fit in smaller increments, they focus on goals that are too broad and too far into the future.

For example, instead of focusing on the goal of fitness for a few weeks, they make goals like ‘get fit this year’ - and it’s the same with nutrition. When you focus on goals that are too broad, they can seem too far out of reach.

But by focusing on goals broken down into smaller increments, you’ll reach those goals and it will motivate you to achieve more successes.

One of best ways to reach any goal is by making it concrete - writing it down where you can see tangible evidence of it.

Seeing tangible evidence of a goal prods us into action, unlike an intangible, vague goal does.

So if you say that you want to get fit and focus on nutrition by keeping a record of how you do for a year, the odds are high that you will not stick to it because the time frame is set too long.

However, if you break it down into a matter of weeks (like is done in the Fitbook Fitness and Nutrition Journal), you’ll be able to see changes within a few weeks and each time you see those changes, it will motivate you to keep striving for your goal.

With this journal, you can put your goals in writing and you only focus on 12 weeks at a time - which makes it a short-term goal.

Psychologically, people are more drawn to short term written goals because of the perk of seeing results faster.

You can break down your goal into weeks and see the evidence in writing even before you see physical changes.

Tracking your progress will be easy because you’ll be able to see when you worked out, what you ate - and by having a record, you’ll know where your weak spots are and how to maximize your strengths.

You can keep a record of your daily accomplishments, and at only 5.5 inches, the journal is small enough to take along wherever you go. There’s even a handy storage spot in the journal so that you can keep membership cards or money.

It comes with a pen so that you’ll always be ready to record your progress and notes.

Write down your goals in the journal and watch how setting goals and obtaining them helps you to make the changes you’ve been wanting to make.

Password Journal

Journals that can be secured are a way for girls to pour out their thoughts onto paper without fear that someone can accidentally (or deliberately if there are younger siblings) read the heartfelt entries.

From griping about school to giggling about boys, having the peace of a secure journal gives girls the freedom to express what they think about that and more.

There’s no better way to make sure that private thoughts stay private with the Password Journal 2011 edition – a perfect gift under $10 for girls.

What makes the journal stand out from any other journal is that it has a security feature many journals don’t have.

Using technology to bring tighter security, access to the journal is gained through voice activation.

For double security, the journal has a hidden compartment that takes a second password to be able to open it.

Want to know if someone has been sneaking around trying to read your personal thoughts?

The journal has an alert that will tell you when someone has tried to get into your journal.

The Password Journal is an electronic toy which has a microphone for recording the voice recognition password and it also has a pen and a special light.

The pen writes with invisible ink so that no matter where the user is, she can write whatever she wants - secrets, bits of songs she’s creating (if she’s a songwriter), or poetry - and no matter where she’s at or who’s watching, they won’t be able to see what’s written.

The special light can reveal what was written. The journal is pastel purple in color, has a scroll design on the front and comes with cute stickers to personalize the book.

Another great electronic journal - this one made by Discover - is the Keep Safe Diary.

This is an electronic diary as well and younger and older girls love it.

Girls can store their secret crushes, their hopes and dreams for the future – and their beloved treasures, too.

Inside the diary is a compartment with a door that opens up to store everything from a friendship bracelet to the petals of a flower received from a first love. This diary comes with diary paper and a pink gel pen.

Using the included stickers, girls can personalize the front of the diary with their names or whatever else they’d like to put on the front.

The Keep Safe Diary keeps intruders out of the diary through the use of the musical password. Whichever journal you choose, your girl is sure to be thrilled with the gift.

Use Journaling as a Stress-Relieving Method of Organization and Prioritization

People often have a million things running through their heads about their work and home lives.

Using a journal to keep track of your thoughts without being forced to try to remember everything is a way to clear your mind and reduce the stress of thinking about a million things you need to get done at once.
 
Once you get a journal, write down all of the thoughts you’re having about things you need to do.

Having these things written down on paper lets you sort through those thoughts and find what really matters.

Once you’ve done that, then you can prioritize the actions that need to be taken about it. There are many different ways to organize and even decorate your journal.

Make it into something fun and enjoyable for you so that you’ll look forward to writing in it and be more likely to keep up with it.

You could decorate the cover, or even the pages inside. If you want to combine a vision board with your journal, you can cut out images that represent your goals and glue them to the front to remind you of what your priorities are.
 
If you want a more simplistic, minimalistic approach, you can just write down your goals and thoughts on the papers and think about how you’ll reach those goals.

However, if you want a more fun and decorated journal you can try keeping a bullet journal.

In these types of journals, you can draw little doodles and write things in colorful letters.
Keeping a more colorful journal will make you more interested to write in it and look at it.

You may have much bigger goals that require more than a small amount of attention in a daily entry.

It could be anything that heavily impacts your life, like finances, relationships, nutrition, or fitness.

For these topics, you can keep a separate journal to keep track of not only your goals, but your attitude towards the subject and your progress.

Seeing how far you’ve come from that first entry is extremely motivating and it shows yourself that your goals are achievable.

Keeping a journal of any kind is a great way to sift through the noise in your head that often gets overwhelming and stressful.

Seeing your goals and thoughts written down on paper what your goals are helps to let you focus on the things that matter and lets you figure out how to best prioritize the things you need to do to achieve what you want.
