I have a confession to make. I love paper planners [1]. I know, I know — I work at a digital company. But there is just something about putting pen to paper that makes my goals seem more achievable and manageable. Nothing like crossing something off your to-do list, amiright? This new year, my bullet journal's been on fire with a habit tracker, monthly budget, and a meal planner, but my fitness goals could use a bit finessing. I did a bit of research on the 'gram (as one does) and found some drool-worthy ideas to get my February off to the right start.
1. Set Your Intentions
Before you actually do any tracking, you need to set your goals [2] and intentions for the week/month/year. This can be as grandiose as running a marathon or as small as drinking eight glasses of water a day. I'll leave it up to you.
2. Get Creative
No, you don't have to be an artist, but there are definitely tons of unique and out-of-the-box ways to keep track of your fitness goals. Try something new, and if it's not working, try again. That's the beauty of a bullet journal; you can literally do whatever you want. Mess-up pages are OK!
3. Hold Yourself Accountable
As with all goals, they're only effective if you stick to them. The beauty of a bullet journal is that it keeps you inspired. Seeing the manifestation of your goals right there on paper will, in theory, keep you motivated.
