[0026] Since it is intended to be carried around, it will be provided as a six-month planner (approximately 17mm thick) and a three-month planner (approximately 9mm thick), but this is not limited to this. [Example]

[0027] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0028] The folded notebook is A6 size, and it will be trimmed, but the size is not important. Figure 1

[0029] The second index section (2a) is folded and stored.

[0030] In the second entry section (2c) of the second heading section (2a), enter the training items you will be doing.

[0031] With the second index section (2a) unfolded, check the multiple check sections (3a) for one month on the third slip (3). Figure 4

[0032] With the second heading section (2a) open, open the first slip (1) for the event date and enter the order of events in the order entry column (1h) for all events scheduled to be held on that day, either by number or by checking the checkbox (1g). Figure 5

[0033] After completing the training for each event, fill in the first entry column (1c), and if there is a number in the sequence entry column (1h), check the check box (1g), and if there is a check mark in the check box (1g), fill in the sequence entry sheet (1h). Figure 5

[0034] To check the load, number of times, and order from the previous time, for example, one week ago, check the page for the same day by referring to the colors set for the day of the week (1d) and the ruled line (1r). Figure 10

[0035] At the end of the training, check the check section (1f) to make sure there are no missed steps, and if there are, mark the multiple check sections (3a) for one month on the third slip (3). Figure 4

[0036] In the present application notebook, the cumulative number of days displayed in the cumulative number of days display section (11) of the first sheet (1) corresponds to the number of pages. When using a planner, if you want to check the page number from the date, check the date (4e) and the total number of days (4f) on the fourth slip (4). Figure 6

[0037] Examples of how to fill out the form are shown in Figures 8 and 9. When training becomes a habit, it is common to schedule the same training for the same day of the week. This inevitably leads to frequent references to training records from a week ago. Specifically, for example, like flipping through a comic book, you can turn the pages by slightly tilting the edge of the planner's pages and sliding your thumb along the top edge to turn the pages. When you turn to the page you want, you can determine the day of the week by the color without checking the date and year. In other words, you can easily find training records from the same day. (Figure 10)

[0038] The first entry section (1a) for recording training results and the date display section (1e) are located on the left page of the first piece of paper, and the 1a entry section (1i) for everyday use is located on the right page of the first piece of paper. Therefore, by taking a photo with the second heading section (2a) unfolded so that the right page of the first piece of paper is visible, it is possible to post the training record as it is on SNS.

[0039] When using a planner on a daily basis, there are many times when you have to write down the same items multiple times. For those who study regularly, the names of subjects such as English and mathematics, If you are working, you can use the names of purchased items, customer names, If you are in a club, you should know your daily practice menu. If you are filling out a household account book, you will need to include the names of the items. The contents of the records vary depending on each person's situation, but the inventor of the present invention came up with the idea after finding previous notebooks inconvenient when recording his strength training.

[0040] As mentioned above, the present invention will also make a significant contribution to assisting recording in other fields. Although a notebook is intended to be used for keeping records, it can also be used in other ways, such as having a doctor at a hospital fill out a rehabilitation menu in the notebook's heading table, and then having the patient refer to it when carrying out rehabilitation.
