The functions of the handbook:

1. Make an annual plan. Have an overall plan for the year and write down the goals you want to achieve during the year. For example: "I will read the entire ** book before the end of February", "I will take the IELTS test in July", "I will finish writing my long article in September" and so on. Put the "annual plan" on the first page of your account. Every time you look at it, you can keep repeating your plan, which will bring you invisible motivation.

2. Make a monthly plan. Specifically, it refers to what needs to be done on a specific day of the month. For example: exam dates, family birthdays, anniversaries, planning submission dates, salary dates, supermarket special sales days, etc. By looking at the monthly plan, you can clearly know what is happening every day and what needs to be done. .

3. Make a daily plan. As the name suggests, it is equivalent to a diary. You can write "daily thoughts", "today's memo events", "expenditure records", "ticket collection", etc. Make your daily life clear, whether your day will be fulfilling, boring or busy tomorrow.

4. Make a wish list. In fact, it is a "shopping list". Sometimes after we go to the supermarket to buy something, we still feel that we have forgotten something. Then we can record in the handbook like this, "There is a shortage of toilet paper at home", "This biscuit is delicious, I will buy a pack next time", "Remember to buy a belt for my boyfriend", etc., so that we can see the colorful things When buying products, you will neither throw them away nor forget to buy them, nor will you buy things you don’t need.

5. Develop a travel impression. When we go out to play, we will take some photos, buy some souvenirs on the way, as well as some train tickets, plane tickets, tickets to famous attractions, postcards, food impressions, leaves, etc. Every little detail will be a great pleasure to look through and recall in the future.
