Hello! How do you keep track of your studies? Personally, I use Toggl Track and a handwritten to-do list in my personal planner.

Unfortunately, sometimes I neglect to bring it with me for the day. When I'm swamped with work, I even overlook checking it because I'm too focused on staying organized with my teacher planner.

To help solve this issue, the solution I came up with is to add a startup tab that would appear every time I open my browser with a study habit tracker to hold me responsible.

It’s been working great so far, so I thought I’d make a video walkthrough on it:

This template is a flexible tool that helps you keep track of your habits, whether it's for learning a language or anything else you want to work on.

As it’s fully editable, you can adjust it to fit your needs by using different sections for daily, weekly, and monthly tasks. It also lets you see how you're progressing over time, making it easier to stay motivated and organized.

Checking off that little box and seeing the pie chart change is so satisfying that I’m convinced it’s a great way to boost your productivity and stick to your goals! 😊

Get the Template

The more I work on the prompt-based journal, the more I realize that there isn’t enough space for me to write in! If you’re facing the same happy problem, I created full-sized versions of the 14-Day Journal Writing Challenge (original post below).

This post is a bit different from the usual because I finally created a document that's been on my mind for the better part of the year — a language journal for anyone who’d like to get consistent writing output in their target language! As December is just around the corner, it is a fitting time to reflect on our language skills and set clear goals for entering 2024.

The Plan

I intend to use my language journal on a weekly (or even bi-weekly) basis with Goodnotes, where I can either write or type my entries. In fact, I've added a section on my page called, Journal Entries, where I'll be publishing what I wrote along with text-to-speech along with an English translation version of what I thought I said!

If you are interested in finding a language journaling accountability partner, you are welcome to join me at any time. Feel free to use the journal prompts whenever it suits you, whether it's daily, weekly, or any day you have time for it. There's no strict schedule to follow. Additionally, this journaling challenge is open to individuals of all language proficiency levels. You have the freedom to provide responses that are as simple or as detailed as you prefer.

I’ve just published my first entry and you can add yours in the comments. Alternatively, you could also create your own post and tag me. Please feel free to choose the approach that suits you best. What do you think, , , and ? 🥺

Download Link + Feedback

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this as it helps to refine and improve the document (and upcoming ones) for all of us. Feel free to download the journal using the link provided and after giving it a try, let me know what you liked, didn’t like and what I can do to make it better!
