For anyone who is looking for suggestions, one of the biggest game-changers for me in therecent times has been using a separate mini planner dedicated specifically to record my spiritual activities.
I still use other planners to plan life in general, but keeping one separate and so strictly personal has been really helpful for my spiritual and emotional wellbeing over the past couple years. Writing down what I did for personal Bible study, volunteering, and other things that come up in life related to my relationship with God has become one of my favourite parts of the day.
It has enough order to help keep feelings of overwhlem and anxiety at bay -but it's still private so it doesn't feels regimented or confined by rules of what I can or can't include there. It gives me a very relaxed mental space to reflect, and has helped improve the quality of my prayers.
It's also nothing fancy; personally I like a weekly planner about the size of my hand and bought the cheapest weekly one available, but for anyone who is thinking about it you can also print one or draw one out if you'd like.
