12 Daily log ideas💜

Summary

The video explores 12 different styles of daily logs that can be customized and used in a journal. It starts with a simple, classic daily log that lists tasks and uses headers to mark each new day. Other ideas include sectioning off the page into spaces like events, tasks, reflections; incorporating timelines and schedules; splitting personal and work tasks; grouping tasks by priority; focusing on habit tracking; and decorating pages. It also contrasts day-per-page and week-at-a-glance layouts. The goal is to spark ideas for readers to create daily logs tailored to their needs.

📝 Classic Daily Log Layout

The first daily log layout is the classic style where you simply write the day's date as a header and list all your tasks and notes for that day sequentially. At the end of the day, you draw a line and write the next day's header.

Highlights

There are 12 different daily log layouts discussed

The classic daily log simply lists tasks without any sections

Sectioned daily logs allow custom organization of information

Transcripts

while the original daily log is super

simple maybe you're looking for

something a little bit more so today

we're going to have a look at 12

different styles of daily log that you

can try in your Journal as you can see

we're working in a traveler size

notebook for this ideas video but all of

the layouts we're going to talk about

can be scaled up or scaled down to fit

in different size notebooks if you're

working in a more typical A5 size you

can effectively take these ideas pretty

much as they are and just put two of the

same layout side by side for two

separate days start starting with the

classic though you can of course just

have a daily log where you write out a

title for whichever day you're working

on and then list out all of the things

you want to get done that day at the end

of the day or once you finished writing

your list you then just put in a header

for the next day and continue on the

nice part about this style is that you

don't have any wasted space and each day

just takes up the amount of space it

needs to also if you miss a day there's

no real harm because you just pick up

where you left off you can see in this

one I've put in some little green dots

to kind of highlight particular tasks I

like to do this to highlight my priority

for any given day once that thing is

done I can just cross it off and then I

can set my next priority to keep myself

moving forward as said though we want to

have a look at dailies that have a

little bit more so our second idea has

some sectioned off spaces what you

actually use each of these spaces for is

completely up to you but the ideas we

have for this top section are events for

the day priority tasks or affirmations

we then have a larger space for the task

list a smaller space after the task list

either for kind of an end of day

reflection gratitude or writing down any

highlights or memories from the day and

you could also put in a section for

either a meal plan or a meal log really

depends on what information is important

for you and what you want to record the

nice part about a structure like this is

that you can set all of them up ahead of

time and you also don't have to do the

ruled Line work you can of course just

put in the little green dots or bullet

points to say this information goes here

as we go through I have tried to make

these layouts look a little bit nice

with some you know decorative washi tape

and some different styles of headers but

you can keep yours as simple or as

decorative as you want to our next daily

log idea though Works along the idea of

a timeline so we have the times for the

day running down the page and then next

to the relevant times you write down

what's going on this one can be

considered a combined schedule and task

list so for any of the things that

you're doing in the day that have longer

periods of time underneath the header

for that time frame you can write in

some tasks that you need to do

associated with it either within that

time frame or before it happens notably

because we're working in a Travelers the

horizontal space here is a little bit

smaller but if you were doing something

similar to this in an A5 you could of

course split your page in half have your

timeline on one side and your task list

on the other if you like the idea of a

timeline but you don't want to take up

the full page with it you can of course

turn this horizontally and just use it

as kind of a visual representation

rather than writing in what's happening

so probably using some kind of color

code or key to remind yourself what each

of these mean on this daily log idea

though you can see we have the header

we've also got the weather prediction or

like forecast for the day a space for

the task list you don't have to use

bullets you can use boxes if you want to

and then depending on how you color in

or signify those boxes they could mean

different things another thing the daily

logs are really great for or daily log

layouts is journaling and these are

effectively spaces of infinite

possibility you could be responding to

pre-written prompts you could just be

writing about what happened in the day

listing out things you were grateful for

about what's in the news really whatever

you want and it's a great way to fill in

extra space if you're going with a page

per day view after this one though

flipping over this idea is one that's

closest to what I typically use for my

daily vogs or have been recently and

that's giving yourself a loose time

blocked schedule and then just a task

list each of these five dots at the top

here are blocks of time so I like to

think of it is two before lunch two

after lunch and then the block after

dinner again we've got an interesting

looking header which you can just swap

out for something simple or more

decorative if you want you can also

specify what your highest priority task

is and if you want to keep track of your

mood you could put a little dot on each

page and just fill it in with an emoji

face you can see some of the pages I

have tried to populate with some kind of

examples of how you might fill it in

whereas others I've left blank so you

can kind of just see the structure I'd

love to know which you prefer in the

comments do you prefer saying the

layouts with kind of like sample tasks

filling them in or do you really just

want to see the structure of them and

then you can kind of imagine how you'd

fill them in on the right though this

idea sees us splitting our page into

different sections in particular having

a work side and a personal side on the

work side we have the work task list and

then a work schedule this one I filled

in based on the idea of teaching and

then on the personal side we have

personal tasks and a daily reflection

which is another space of infinite

possibility of course you can take any

of these layouts chop and change them

put in things that you want take out

things you don't need and I very much

encourage you to do that we want your

daily log to work for you so get rid of

stuff that's not going to be useful this

one is another timeline style daily log

but we've condensed the timeline so it's

just at the top and treated it just as

more of kind of an events list so a

little green circle to check off when

the event happens the arrow indicates

how long it goes for and then the bottom

section here would be for your task list

this one gives you a good balance

between writing space for either tasks

or journaling or whatnot and then still

seeing that timeline of what's going on

if the very specific times things are

happening doesn't really matter so much

so you don't need to know that like 5:00

it's video prep time what you could do

is a morning afternoon evening style so

just taking your space that you've got

for your daily log splitting it into

three sections based on the time of day

for each of these sections you could set

yourself a highest priority or maybe

record any events that were happening in

that block of time or other tasks and

I've also attached a mini tracker to

each of these so three little dots to

represent energy mood and hydration and

then you just fill in the dot with a

symbol to indicate the outcome for that

thing so for instance if you are higher

energy maybe a little Lightning Bolt

versus a DOT to say low energy maybe a

smiley face to say good mood and a not

so smiley face to indicate not so good

mood and then a little water drop to say

yes I was hydrated versus a DOT to say

no I was not really depends on what

things you want to track and you can

also incorporate habits that aren't for

every single block for instance if you

had a medication that you only take in

the morning maybe you could have a

bullet for that one if there's a

particular time of the day that you're

trying to do exercise you could put in a

DOT for that really depends on what

you're keeping track of flipping over

though our next idea is another one that

is pre- sectioned out but the titles for

the sections are written down the side

this also means that you could kind of

drawer up that side panel ahead of time

for each of the days and then once you

know how many priorities you're going to

have for the day you can then write in

the head for the tasks if you after a

while realize you need more space for

gratitude you could bump that upper line

kind of tweak it as you go along when

you have more of an understanding of how

much space you need for each of the

different sections these sections again

are just examples so we have priorities

tasks notes and gratitude but you could

incorporate that habit tracking that we

said before maybe bring in a space for a

particular type of task so things all

related to work or whatnot in fact our

next idea is all about grouping your

tasks this one is the Alistair method

meod so we have a column for different

things and then a column for the tasks

in this case I've set it up based on

priority so H for high priority M for a

medium priority task L for low n for

either a note or something that isn't a

priority and if you haven't yet put a

dot in any of those first four columns

that would be a task that hasn't been

prioritized effectively the way that I

would tackle this is write out all of

the things that in theory need to get

done in the day and then once I had the

them onto the page then go and assign

them to each of the different columns

that way I know that while I'm working

through my task list I start with the

high priority then I move to the mid

then I move to the low so on and so

forth as I've noted here you don't have

to base this on priority though there

are different ways that we can group our

tasks so maybe you have a column

dedicated to tasks that need to get done

out of the house versus ones that need

to get done at home they could be for

Life areas so home work personal

whatever else it could be based on time

frames similar to the idea we had on the

last page so morning afternoon and

evening or you could prioritize these

based on things to do things to defer

things that you're going to delegate or

things that you're going to delete off

your task list once you decide that

they're really not all that important I

love the Alistair method it is a method

that I use often but our next idea is

one that really leans into the idea of

habit tracking up the top here we have

the daily habit tracker so I've just put

a dot for each instance of having done

the habit for for instance eight little

dots for eight cups of water three dots

for three meals one dot for exercise so

on and so forth we also have a space for

breakfast lunch and dinner and planning

out your meals and then this one is kind

of like an Abridged energy tracker so an

upwards arrow for high a downwards arrow

for low energy and then a little dash

for kind of medium energy each of these

dots would represent a different

check-in point so maybe every hour on

the hour you ask yourself how is my

energy going right now I've also noted

down here that in this sectioned out

dailies kind of method you don't have to

use it for the sections that I have

there are a bunch of different things

that you could put on your dailies so

themed lists trackers tasks gratitude

events whatever else but most of the

ideas we've looked at so far have been

fairly minimal or at least can be set up

in a fairly minimal way but if you want

something a little bit more decorative

you could try a style like this in this

one you'd probably go in and put your

decorative stuff in first and then just

work around the outside of this to put

in the the other stuff for instance in

this one we have some little kind of

photo spaces for kind of memories from

the day a space for your top tasks or

priorities a couple of spaces for your

checklists and then maybe a little

journaling space as said though you can

switch any of these things out for

anything on this list or anything else a

lot of the ideas we looked at work on a

day per page basis or if you're using a

wider Journal maybe two days per page

where you split it in half vertically

and you have one then the other but if

you want to see more days on one spread

and like the idea of them all taking up

the same amount of space then this idea

could be for you in this one we just put

in a header for each of the days that

you want to capture on the layout and

the nice part about this is that you can

make it look very balanced by having the

same amount of space for each of the

days and you can also go and add tasks

that you want to do on future days

before you actually get there for

instance adding things to your Thursday

task list while you're still on Monday

while there is certainly value in

letting a daily log take up as much

space as it needs to for instance when

thinking about the classic style where

you just write out everything for the

day regardless of how much space it

takes up and then cap it off with a

header for the next day this layout can

be very appealing for people now you

might be looking at this and think Jess

isn't this just a weekly log well I was

surprised to find out that a weekly log

actually means something different to

the bullet Journal method compared to

what it means to most of us if you're

curious about what a bullet Journal

method approved weekly log actually

looks like we do have a separate video

on that one so click or tap on that one

and I'll see you over there
