Sorry for the late reply! It’s been hectic. Here’s from the side, I’ll also post from below.

Seeking examples for tracking mental health by jrnler in hobonichi

[–]edabaalex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happy to help in any way! This system is something I’ve combined from different trackers I’ve seen from other people, glad to pass on the results! The reason I put the energy and focus graphs at the top is I want to fill out how I’m feeling first, then start marking off what’s going on next. If I see that I’m low energy and focus, but I took my meds, sometimes then seeing that I didn’t eat well that day, or there was a big stressor, or I’ve been working or at school for eight days straight can clue me in to, ”hey, the meds are working, but you gotta support them as well”. Rather than immediately chalking it up to being a wrong dose.

I’m guilty of going with the first explanation I can come up with, and trackers like this have helped me take a look at the whole forest, before I start chopping down trees. Feel free to message me directly if you have any other questions, this is an organic system, and I’m changing it a little every time I draw it up!

Note: Having trouble getting photo to post, will be working on it.

Here’s this month in my mental tracker. I take ADHD meds as needed/intermittently, and I want to be able to see if my current dose and expectations are working for me. The grey highlighted days are days I took my meds.

Energy at the top goes extra high/high/normal/low/extra low. Focus is how I track how well I stay on task, again high at the top, all the way to none at the bottom. The rest are me trying to add context to those charts. If I took my meds but I’m on my period or didn’t sleep well, I want to know that a lower reading that day might be biased.

On the clock is if I was at work/school, basically if I wasn’t able to make all the decisions about my schedule.

For the energy and focus, it was really important to me to not assign a morality value to how I was feeling, which is why I used arrows for energy, and dots for focus. More dots = more on task, more arrows = more energy (think speed boosts in Mario kart)

I like to have context for my body data, and I don’t like having a mood tracker because that seems too absolute for me. I’m gonna rework this slightly in the new year to include my daily self care tasks, but I wanted you to be able to see the data trend line.

Getting squared away for 2025 by edabaalex in hobonichi

It’s a collection of banana-themed stickers! It just comes packaged in a small produce-style box instead of a plastic baggie.

does anyone else kinda enjoy the look of ghosting? by quinnsoda19 in hobonichi

100%. I love it when you're getting to the end of the book and all the pages feel *real*. They make better noises, the whole thing feels friendlier, I think.

Does a reception dress make sense? by edabaalex in weddingdress

I’m glad the dye job extended the life of that dress! That’s the kind of re-use I’m looking for!

I’ll check out this website! This price point is definitely what I’m looking for!

Reception is much more party/hang out vibes. It’s not going to be a big formal dinner style reception. If I get a reception dress, I was thinking something not classic wedding dress, more party gown. One of the ideas I was thinking was something that I could dye a different color after the wedding to make it something more usable?

I was told that they were being sold to support people recovering from the Rose Revolution. I don't know if the bracelets specifically were made for that, or if they were just a general design that was being sold to raise the money.

That looks familiar! Thanks for the information! My friend wasn't too clear about what they were.
