What it is:

Life Diary is a Personal Planning, Organising, Scheduling, Tracking and Reporting system.

Origin:

It was developed over a period of many years by myself (Benico van der Westhuizen) in order to cater for my own needs. I started out using the Moleskin week-per-page Diary. I found that this worked very well for me, and I grew fond of the leather cover and the ivory paper. These days I print my diary on A4 Ivory paper and bind it with line, before inserting into a re-usable leather cover.

Principles incorporated into the system are:

• The principle of Goal Design - is a next level Goal Setting methodology.
  It requires one to have a vision (dream / picture of the ideal situation)
  which feeds into purpose (Find your Why)
  and only then going into goals.
  Also this is done for each of the Five Life Domains.
  
  
• The Principle of Life Balance.
  Twenty odd Life Areas are grouped into Five easy to grasp Life Domains.
  Setting Goals and Tracking results in each of these Domains help to obtain balance in Life.
  Sources used for this are Vishen Lakhiani's book "Code of the Extraordinary Mind", as well as the Life Book principles by John & Missy Butcher.
  
  
• The 12-week year (please google this if you don't know what it is.)
  
  
• The weekly time window for scheduling and planning ...
  (according to Steven Covey's book "First Things First".)
  
  
• A Daily Habit Tracker
  (refer Atomic Habits)
  
  
• Weekly review,
  with journalling style questions like:
  what went well,
  what can improve,
  what have I learned
  - and a gratitude journal.
  
  
• Progress is kept on track by measuring it.
  If we measure AND report progress - we accelerate the tempo of progress.
  This happens because of mentorship, accountability and external input.
  The Quarterly review is useful for this purpose.
