I am currently using two planners. One Pocket size for every day
use, and one A5 for my blog and Etsy shop planning. I have only just
started using this system, but so far it is working great!
5 of the many things that I track in my planners are:
- Bills/Expenses
- Online orders I'm waiting for
- Blog planning
- Photo challenges
- Wish lists

First of all, I think tracking is very important especially for
people who easily forget like me. Tracking also serves as a tool to
chart and see how consistent you are. Since I carry and log into my
planner on a regular basis, I find it a very convenient place to track
several items.
Here are a few of mine :
1. Wellness
I use this to
track my weight and the workouts I'm doing. Once I'm settled on a
workout plan I need to make sure I stick with that plan until I've
reached my goals. For my meals,
I usually incorporate it into my daily pages. I also track when do I take my meds.

2. Projects
I have several
art pieces that I want to finish, and to track them simultaneously I use
a chart. I divide the goal columns into : Rough, Sketch, Lineart,
Color, Shade, Effects and Background. This way I would know which
artworks I can finish in awhile while others would need more time.
3. Blog
I log in my
statistics, input and requests from my readers, as well as upcoming blog
posts or drafted posts that I need to write or finish.
4. Reading List
I'm a bookaholic and read several books at once, so I
track what are the books I'm currently reading, acquired but not yet
reading, finished, stopped, and the ones I want to buy.
5. Cleaning/Chores
I list my daily,
weekly, and monthly chores that I need to do. Every month I make a big
chart and just tick off the specified chores as I've done them. Seeing reoccurring ticks make me motivated to clean again the next time. :)

2. Personal/Family things - doc appts, mani/pedi's, scrapbook sessions etc
3. To-Do's - anything I need to get accomplished in a day, week, or even longer.
4. Food - Dinner always goes into my planner so I know what to make each night.
5. Free Prints - whenever there is a coupon for free photo prints
I mark it down. I never want to pay more than shipping if I don't need
to.

I have 6 broad categories. Exercise, Daily/Weekly Pages, Financials, Cleaning/Routine (FlyLady), Project Focus (basically just random notes of works in progress and crafty ideas, etc), and Reference Pages (birthdays, logins, employment info, etc).
My workout/exercise
log is from Bikini Body Mommy (http://bikinibodymommy.com/
I'm
still in progress of updating everything the way I'd like it (the
neverending story of planner life, eh? ;-) )

Here's 5 things that I use my planner (Erin Condren Life Planner) for:
1. Keeping track of all my appointments/ work schedule/kids activities - I'd be lost if I didn't keep track of where I have to be and when...my son plays a lot of football and I am the secretary of his team so I have a lot of things to keep track of.
2. My weight loss and fitness. I'm still trying to get the last stone (and a bit *cough cough*) off after having my daughter 5 years ago 😳 I find it's harder to bury my head in the sand if I have to write it down every week.
3. My finances. I like to track everything that goes in and out of my bank account. I also like to set myself a budget each month - especially for things like planner supplies so I don't end up half way through the month with 50 new rolls of washi but no money to do the food shop!
4. Books to read. I love reading but end up getting lost in You Tube videos if I don't have anything specific to read. I'm trying to start building up a list of books that I want to read...because we all love ticking something off a list so I have inventive to read them!
5. RAK's I'm in quote a few Facebook groups and quite often send and receive RAK's. I like to keep track so I remember if there is anyone in particular that I want to send a RAK to.

Odd things that I track at the moment -
- The progress/milestones of my thesis.
- My aquarium routines.
Other:
- Health - Here is an A5 insert I created (it works for pain management, allergy management, daily log, really important when trying to find the root of some health problems)
- RAKS and Penpals - Here is an insert I created (the main advantage is that you don't loose track of the letters/raks you send)
Hope you enjoyed reading! Thank you again to the people who took part.
If you would like to take part next time for Question No 2, please check in to my Blog on 17th September to see the next question posted.
