Bullet journals are the ideal creative outlet for the tracking and planning obsessed. They allow you to come up with your own designs, fonts, layouts, and more while still being productive. Of course, all of these things can be tracked on your phone, but setting aside time each day to update your bullet journal allows you more necessary space away from technology. With that, here are 10 habits and events to keep track of in your bullet journal.

1. Your spending/saving 

Yes, most people can see this through their banking app. But, when you have to write down each thing you are spending your money on, you become more aware the next time you are making a purchase that you will have to write the item down in your bullet journal. This can really help you decide if you need the item or not.

2. Your mood 

Tracking your mood can help you see possible trends or patterns around certain times of the month or days of the week.

3. The birthdays of your friends and family 

We've all forgotten someone's birthday. Not our proudest moments. A solution is to keep a tracker like the one above and remember to check it at the beginning of each month.

4. Books you want to read 

A bookcase tracker is such a cute way to keep a running list of all the books you want to read. Then, each time you complete one of the reads, you can color in the spine.

5. Your skincare routines 

Tracking your skincare can help you stick with a certain routine. For those who already do have a routine, it can be really helpful to remember when you did the steps that you don't do every day, like exfoliating or doing a face mask. It can be destructive to do certain parts of your routine too often.

6. Your sleep 

Like a mood tracker, this can help you to see certain trends in your sleeping during certain weeks or months.

7. Your to-do list 

This is just an organized way of keeping track of everything you have to do. You can organize it by deadline, by priority or by anything that will be useful to you.

8. Your water/food consumption 

In tracking your water consumption, you will probably feel more inclined to meet your daily goals in knowing that you will be able to physically color in the water drops or mark in your personal way that you completed the task. On the other hand, not having to write down that you ate chocolate will probably help you to not consume food that really isn't necessary.

9. Your workouts

When and what you worked out and for how long is important to keep track of. It allows you to see when you did cardio or strength training, and helps you to space out certain exercises.

10. Your goals 

Like the above tracker shows, writing down your specific goals and tracking their progress really helps you to focus on them and make them a priority.

Keeping track of your habits, life events, goals, and other things can be a really interesting thing to look back on months or years later, to see how you were living at a certain period of your life. Even more important, tracking these things allows you to see where your life is at, and can help you to change it for the better.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
