 ![]()  Ladies, I wasn't too sure where to put this, but I wanted to ask you all: who works from a Control Journal; and if you do, what do you have in it?
I am looking for ideas.
• Do you have your routines written down somewhere?
• Do you have a special place for things like menu plans?
• Do you shop with a shopping list?
• Do you have envelopes for money for different things like food, petrol, clothing, Birthdays……… etc?
I hope no one is offended by me asking – I have been so busy renovating that a lot of these things have gone by the board, and I am hoping to get back to them in the next month or so. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a control journal, but not quite like flylady's. I have basic routine written down, I don't have a written menu plan. I have an app on my phone which has my shopping list I don't have an envelope system, but do have a budget, so I know how much I can spend. My control journal has: General section - weekly, daily routines, emergency contacts Mail section - with addresses Money - paper print out of my budget, yearly schdedule of bills Birthdays - list of all birthdays I want to keep track on, I transcribe them onto my calendar at the start of each year I now also have a DD control journal, to keep track of school and various therapists/health professionals Hope that helps  |

Hi Jilly
I am using an app called taskboard for my general todo list, a daily, weekly and other stuff todo do are some of the lists I have. I just drag things to the bottom when done so the list remains as a whole for the next day or delete the item from a list if it is a one off. For groceries I have a printable master list of all my usual stuff on my computer. I print and have it on a clipboard hooked to the inside of my pantry door with a pen attached (or it goes walkies). I tick things on the
I list as I think of them or as I use the last from the pantry, then just grab it as I head out of the door. In theory others can add to the list if they use stuff but that rarely happens lols!
