A notebook to save you from infinite scrolling.

The life tracker system is a journalling method I developed to help me optimize and document my life. It's one of the lowest friction ways to start the habit of journalling.

A notebook to save you from infinite scrolling.

Creating a notebook to save you from infinite scrolling is a practical way to reduce screen time and stay focused on your tasks or ideas. Here's how you can set it up:

  1. Select the notebook: Choose a physical notebook that suits your preferences, whether it's a small pocket-sized notebook for portability or a larger one for more extensive note-taking.

  2. Organize Sections: Divide your notebook into sections based on your needs and interests. You might have sections for daily tasks, project ideas, personal reflections, or anything else you want to keep track of.

  3. Use Index or Tabs: Create an index or use tabs to easily navigate between sections. This will help you quickly find what you're looking for without wasting time flipping through pages.

  4. Write Down Tasks: Instead of relying on digital to-do lists, jot down your daily tasks and goals in your notebook. Cross them off as you complete them to stay organized and motivated.

  5. Capture Ideas: Whenever inspiration strikes or you come across something interesting, write it down in your notebook. This could be anything from business ideas to quotes that resonate with you.

  6. Doodle and Sketch: Use your notebook as a creative outlet by doodling or sketching whenever you need a break from screens. It's a great way to unwind and stimulate your imagination.

  7. Review Regularly: Set aside time to review your notebook regularly. This could be at the beginning or end of each day, or whenever you need to refresh your memory or find inspiration.

  8. Keep it Handy: Keep your notebook with you at all times, whether it's in your bag, pocket, or on your desk. This way, you can capture thoughts and ideas as they come to you without relying on digital devices.

  9. Personalize it: Make your notebook your own by adding personal touches like stickers, drawings, or inspirational quotes. This will make it more enjoyable to use and encourage you to keep coming back to it.

  10. Stay Consistent: Make using your notebook a habit by incorporating it into your daily routine. The more consistently you use it, the more effective it will be at keeping you focused and organized.
