Over the past two years I have kept a daily journal for tracking tasks, notes, and events. For taking notes I follow the Bullet Journal Method. The images to follow display how I have organize my journal. It is what works for me.

When you are young you are dependent on others and you have few responsibilities. Therefore you do not have to spend the bulk of your time managing these responsibilities. However, as you age you increase both your independence and the number of things that you are responsible for. You want to maximize this new found independence and responsibility, and in fact I firmly believe that doing so to the best of your ability constitutes a life well lived. For further reading see my article on this topic: Maturity Matters. Unfortunatly, this comes at the expense of your personal time.

Why it is the responsibility of all of us to bear our respective burdens

As a kid I can remember taking my experience and applying it to the adults around me. I thought most adults were boring because they did not spend their time as I did exploring the woods, hanging out with friends or playing sports all day. In fact now that I think about it this must be why we in society put so much value in professional sports. If you really think about it, professional athletes are the kids that never gave up the dream, they managed to keep playing a childrens game long after the rest of us quit. As you mature, you (should) take on more and more responsibilities and you (should) begin to make the shift of relating more to your exhausted parents than the kids that spend all day running around the neighborhood.
