Either here or in your own space, talk a little about what draws you to planners and/or journals? What about them makes you happy?

journalsandplanners is currently running a challenge inspired by the Snowflake Challenge and today is day one!

To answer the first question: organisation. It's a very boring response, but the long and short of it is paper and pen has a much better memory than my own brain. Also, giving myself to-do lists and having somewhere to keep them all makes me a lot more productive. I also track habits and my mood in my journal, which I probably wouldn't do otherwise, and that has been very helpful with keeping my mental health in check. If nothing else, I have a written record of how things have been to refer to when I am talking to my psychiatrist.

In terms of the second question, having a journal gives me peace of mind and keeping up to date with it and being orderly makes me very satisfied. I'm the kind of person who makes spreadsheets for fun, so I have at least asperations of organisation and having data makes me happy.
