Making lists of important things is one of my occupations. It doesn't pay well, but it is a passion. My journal pages are the place I make my really important lists. These lists include, but are not limited to:
Books that I have read.
Books to read.
Albums or CDs that I listened to and what I was doing while listening
Fastest Laps around various race tracks. (Computer simulations only!)
Flight hours and destinations (MS Flight Simulation)
To do lists for days off (I can usually carry over 90% of the previous week's list)
Work hours
Motorcycle rides and mileage
Bicycle rides and mileage
Daily food log
How much I owe Micro Soft for Solitaire
Letters and Cards sent
Wants and desires list (wish list)
Idea list (pretty short list)
Most important is my pen and ink log. Until I bought my first fountain pen I didn't have such a list. Why would I? It would be rather tedious. Not that that's a bad thing.
It would look sort of like this:
1/01/2003 Pilot Easy Touch Black Fine
1/24/2003 Pilot Easy Touch Black Fine
2/25/2003 Pilot Easy Touch Black Fine
and so on....
Actually now that I've done that, I wish I had kept such a list. I'll put it on my To Do list, or should it go on my Idea list? I don't know, but I'll figure it out.
Here is a picture of my Pen and Ink Log which is in my current journal.
At some point a list may become important enough to merit its own notebook. For instance, my Flight Hours log is now kept in its own book. Since my current journal is to be retired at the end of the year, it was necessary to transfer the Pen and Ink Log to its own book. My buddy gave be a nice orange notebook with Clairefontaine paper in it, which is perfect for the job. Here is a page from this new listing:
Each pen has its own page. At some point I want to have each ink I own and use to have part of a page with sample writing. I have great plans for this log.
Of course until the end of the year I need to make an entry into both lists, the old and the new. Yep it is happy days around here!
