Also as an American, my medical record mostly just consists of how many days since the last time I went to the doctor. For those without insurance, less is more when it comes to number of visits. If you have insurance, the opposite is the c

I make a lot of my own worksheets. Mostly to print out and keep me on track for the day, week, month, etc. The worksheets are mostly based on highly recommended books for productivity. Like GTD, Principles, ONE Thing, OTT and many others.
