Subject: RE: DECLUTTER: *Sorting *Health *Progress - 2025
I use a bullet journal (started in 2017, I'm in the second volume now) for the longer-range objectives, where the page facing the calendar days has the month's task list. There are a lot of things that keep getting moved from one month to another, but others do get completed. And on a third page is my month's record of activity; while I might check off things from the task list, I actually make a daily note of events, making it easier to find when things happened if I need to know in the future. My appointments, changing AC filters, when something was purchased or fixed, when the dogs went to the vet, etc. Other than not finishing all of the things I want to in a month, I do a pretty good job of keeping up with this. I've always had some kind of journal or day planner since my college days. This is more compact.

The journal has Future log pages with, in my case, five months per page and they extend at least into the next year. I can put down a six or 12 month appointments there and transfer it when I finally set up the given month in question. Those happen on the occasional blank pages that happen through the book and everything has notes of "continued from #page" to find the next or last occurrence. I just pushed the future log into spring 2026 and should do another for most of the rest of that year.
