Making journals/spreadsheets to prepare for New Horizons?

This is a very good idea. I use spreadsheets for other stuff, so I might for this game as well.

It also depends how early on we unlock the Museum to donate fish and bugs to as well. If it takes a few days, then I might go ahead and log everything I've caught but not donated in a spreadsheet if there is not an in-game feature that tells you. I usually donate creatures the first time I catch them, but I'm not going to wait to make bells if it takes awhile for the museum.
 
I eventually did this for Animal Crossing: New Leaf to fill out my encyclopedia, museum, and music collection. I’m not sure yet if and how I’d like to go about this for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. On the one hand, I want to play the game blind. But I’m also into collecting everything and making sure I’m not missing something before the month is done.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf I played my first year totally blind, and then used a spreadsheet to get the rest in my second year. For Animal Crossing: New Horizons I’m thinking of using a limited spreadsheet that basically tells me how many things I should have in a given month, but doesn’t tell me exactly what everything I need to catch is, but I’m not sure yet.

Alternatively, I’m hoping there’s something in-game that serves a similar function, but that’s just a hope.

I actually am using this organization app called Notion that I use for all other planning aspects of my life with school/work/personal things. It's a really, really beautiful simple system and gives you a lot of freedom. It's an amazing organizational structure! I'm going to use it to keep track of my town's progress and my ideas and plans for it, and maybe a list of the dreamies that I'd like to get.

I haven't set it up yet but I look forward to doing that soon, maybe as a way to hype myself up even more for the game's upcoming release!
 
i have an animal crossing new leaf binder full of these sheets on paper (drawn by me :3) so i'll do them again for new horizons. it's kinda hard to do before the release though because i can't just delete stuff on paper and we do not know the whole encyclopedia and stuff yet. let's see. but i'll make one for sure when we have more information

I LOVE NOTION!

I DO TOO!!! It is so perfect, and flexible!!! I am so excited to use for for ACNH -- I did not have it when I played ACNL a lot so this will be a new method that I use to keep track of things! It'll work wonders compared to my old notebook method lol!
