Ever wish your calendar was organized by your mood and body’s rhythms? Well now it does.

Designed to help me schedule my life based on the ebb and flow of my own cyclical rise and fall of energy levels, this calendar helps you track, then predict your own energy levels based on your body’s cycle.

My favorite way to use this calendar is to schedule my most outgoing events around ovulation (social parties, big presentations at work, fun get-aways with my partner) and to anticipate and schedule intentional introverted down time and rest during luteal, especially the closer I get to menstrual phase.

Filling out your tracker.

Step 1. Note the first day of your last period. Write that date in the most upper left pink circle. For example, if the first date of last period was January 22nd, write 22 in the first pink circle. (this can be seen in the example sheet)

(I suggest doing this in pencil, later you can use pen)

Step 2. Continue to fill out the subsequent days in the next circles. If your period is longer or shorter than 5 days, indicate that in some way on this sheet. (a blank cycle tracker will be coming soon!)

Step 3. Note how many days long your typical cycle is. (I did this by using the health app on my phone for a while before filling this tracker out.) Once you know, X off any additional days at the end of the row you may not need to track. For example, my cycle seemed to be about 26.5 days long after I averaged it out over the course of 6 months, so every other month I have to X out a day for most accurate tracking (see example)

Step 4. When you come to the first of the next month, place the letter of that month in the circle and circle it. This will stand for the number “1” and indicate to you the first of that month for easy translation to a regular calendar.

Step 5. Start to take notes on what your typical energy level is during each part of your cycle. Everyone is different, and there are a lot of variations that are normal. This is for your space to track correlations under each cycle name.
