Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just What I Needed good for me

I am a very visual person and I like to try and I've tried many styles of planners and journals. I start them with great enthusiasm but when I return to them a few weeks or months later I feel like I've wasted pages due to the pre-printed dates/days. This is a perfect solution for me.I've been laid off from my job and currently job searching during the pandemic and this has really helped motivate me to set goals- mundane ones like: wake up on time, job search, shower, work out, eat meals, take vitamins. Reminders, for example, review bills before x date or take dog to the vet. Then those little tasks that fall through the cracks like buying a birthday card or remembering to picking up medications/dry cleaning. And of course the bigger things, like appointment reminders for the doctor or dentist, return labels, upcoming credit card bill. You get it.I use it to organize my week- everything from meal planning to appointment reminders. I also find it very calming to sit down at the beginning of the week and write down things that need to be accomplished by the end of the week and it's out of my mind and not a nagging thought anymore. Big rocks, little rocks? Am I right?It's a great feeling to also be able to break down larger tasks over a few days (get shipping label --> get money order --> drop at post office) and it's good for me because then I am not worried about forgetting a task or skipping a step. It feels great to cross things off and look back at the end of the week feeling like you've accomplished everything (or nearly everything) you set out to do for the week. I like the habit tracker too because it helps me rate my week on a deeper level and make an effort to make measurable changes (Did I drink enough water? Did I take my vitamins?) When I am done with the week, I file it away in a small binder so if I need to I can flip back and review at a later time.The only thing I wish that this product has is either that the pad itself came with a magnet (so I could leave the pad on the fridge) or that each sheet was like a big post it note so I could sticky the sheet in use on my white board. I am lucky I have a bulletin board in my home office and pin it up there.I will probably repurchase this item when I run out of sheets.

Pros
  • The habit tracker is a great way to monitor progress towards long-term goals and to establish healthy habits, providing users with a sense of accomplishment and motivation
Cons
  • May not have enough space for tracking personal or work-related projects
