I've always geeked out over meal planning, but keeping an annotated list of what we actually ended up eating immediately appealed to my historically-inclined brain. This, I realized, could be the basis for planning based on something! On trends and patterns that would reveal themselves once documented!
Since then, I have extended the principle to other areas, and journaling has become one of my most basic tools for household organization. I decided to start this blog as a part of that approach. An abstract plan for the future is one thing. But to know what you've actually done or not managed to do? That is a source of understanding.
aw, I'm so glad! I've got almost 4 years in my notebook right now and it is sociologically fascinating. I'm never going to throw it away.
