First of all, we put our hand on our heart and have to tell you right away: there is no right or wrong use. Linear, drawn, scribbled or neat - your usual day planning is primarily intended to serve to you and help you become the master of your time. However, we have prepared some advice that will help you navigate your daily planning and make the best use of this section. So feel free to read on.

MARKING NOTES IN THE DAILY REVIEW

To begin, open your Journal. You will find a Legend there - it contains pictograms that you can (but don't have to) use. They especially help you quickly recognize notes in your daily report - meetings, tasks, deadlines or ideas or notes. We designed some characters for you, the rest is up to you. Above all, create a system that suits you. For example, I use characters like this:

• triangle for meetings (it can be a class, a meeting or an event): after completion, I paint it
• full stop for tasks: after completing, I draw a pipe through it (it saves time and a pen instead of filling in squares)
• I frame personal notes, prayers, thoughts, excerpts from books, Bible verses or ideas with a highlighter or otherwise separate them from the to-do sheet (e.g. with washi tape)
• I write the tasks in the first half and the deadlines in the second : this way I get an overview of what I have to do and at the same time I can clearly see below me when I should move where and to whom

But that's not all. A day in Žurnál has several elements.

HOW THE DAY IS SCHEDULED IN THE JOURNAL

Each element represents one of the things we believe could be part of balanced time management. It encourages creativity, prioritization, smart planning and systematic time management. We didn't forget about gratitude, one of the strongest human abilities that can strengthen and encourage you every day - even if that day wasn't the best. So what does it look like in practice?

RING ON THE TOP OF THE PAGE

Every day, the ring on top presents a creative challenge : Can you do something different with this ring every day until the end of the year? PS: the stickers aren't a scam at all, but don't be afraid to challenge yourself to do something with it without the help of pre-printed ornaments.

PRIORITY OF THE DAY

Setting goals and tasks is one thing, prioritizing them correctly is something else entirely. Think about it this way: It doesn't matter how much you got done during the day, if what got done wasn't really important. Don't forget your goals and values ​​here - are they also reflected in your daily planning? Therefore, start with the Priority of the day . Even if you didn't manage to do anything else, you just have to give this. Choose wisely - ideally, it shouldn't just be something that you have a deadline for, but something that will move you forward .

DAILY PLANNING AND NOTES

Mark tasks, meetings, notes from meetings or tips for good movies on the prepared lines. Notice that they are divided into two parts. Our recommendation is: use the upper part for planning the day and the lower part for notes. Don't forget to use the pictograms from the Legend. However, how you choose to fill out this section is really up to you - and yes, we need to emphasize this for a simple reason. Any diary or app is our helper. We don't serve them. They serve us. So use the Journal so that it helps you on your way to success.

YOU WILL GO FURTHER WITH GRATITUDE

Spend a few minutes in the evening thinking about the things you are thankful for that day. Even if today is Friday the 13th, try to remember at least three pleasant little things . Thanks to this, over time you will start to realize positive things and become a happier person.
