Keeping a record
Do you have a problem remembering what you achieved during the course of the year? Or do you need to read multiple pages in a journal, search through many folders to remind yourself what you had created? I have had to until I got tired of that effort. My single new year's resolution for 2026? Find a way to make my end-of-year reflection easier.
I have many blank sketchbooks and dug through my stash to find one which I thought would be suitable. It has 86 pages, is suitable for drawing and a light water application, so I can do whatever I feel would work for this idea. So far I have done just that. The layout is still evolving, but one page per month will make my end-of-year reflection a process of reflection, instead of a process of searching and wondering.
Want to learn more about how the process is working for me? I explained it in more detail on my Substack, to keep this post short.
Until tomorrow!

That's a great idea. When I realized that I was keeping stats on my work, I created a spreadsheet to keep track daily. Rather than figuring it out at the end of the year. It's always good to make a record, especially if you know just how you're going to use it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Liz. Spreadsheets are excellent options too. I use one for my writing, to keep track of how many words I have written, but there are no dates to show the details of when I wrote the books - only when they were published.
DeleteVery neat idea, and your drawing skills make it art.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa. ☺️
