Next, you will fill out your organization and location for which the journal entry is to be made.

In the boxes on the right, indicate the time period for which your journal entry is covering.

After the general information is supplied on the top section, you are ready to fill in the grid recording the information for your journal entry.

3. List the entries on the left side, providing a numerical value for each entry.

The next box is to be used for indicating the event of the specific entry.

Next you will supply the action taken in response to the event that occurred in your entry.

6. Your entries should be brief so as to fit in the appropriate boxes.

7. Should your entries require additional space, you may use additional boxes or attach an addendum to the sheet to clarify the events.
