I was asked here before about a textual example of my journal of pragmatic agency so I thought it would be useful to post one. Hope it helps.

Financial and Legal Games to Secure the Castle
• Wait for _______ to fill out new loan documents to pay updated tax lien (~$7,300 as of 02-27-23). Wait for call from closer notary individual. Sign documents and call the city to ensure they were received. Also check the website.
• After my car water pump is repaired, antifreeze is flushed, and belt is installed I will be left with $150. Contrary to ______'s opinion I need to go back to Walmart. $150 won't pay my bills. I can Doordash but the 33 hours at Walmart is fixed. Per Sedgewick's advice I can return at my discretion, but I just need a doctor to certify the leave. Dr _____ could do that, the confluence of contingency blocked me from seeing a specialist.
• Similarly while I am waiting on Walmart Claims I can file the Temporary Disability Form. I pretty much finished it already, just need doctor to sign off. It will probably be rejected, then my file with Legal Services of ________ can be reopened. I am also floating an appeal against ________ denial of my temp disability claim with them. It could be approved then all they would need to see is a doctor certification of return to work date so the dates I could be paid would be settled.
• What would I do if I got my disability. Let's assume it's $6,000 if the temp disability is rejected and worker's comp accepted. Pay off OneMain secured loan and get back my car title. Pay off in entirety my PayPal credit line (but keep the line open).
Health Games
• See a specialist. Give _______ claims another day or two to return my call. If they don't then maybe call one more time, but actually I wouldn't have to. I was deflected by the _______ facility already. I could then seek a lawyer who deals in worker's comp and go from there. In the interim I need to find a specialist perhaps at _______ and get the referral. Call insurance.
• Order Intuniv (guanfacine). One-two punch against blood pressure and ADHD \ PTSD.
• Possibly swap back to Seroquel from Lithium. But am I less tired in the day on Lithium. Possible, but sleep is smoother on Seroquel.
Social Games
• Get back in the pick-up game and meet the new people.
• Try to have a normal conversation with ________ on OkCupid. She actually seems cool.
Continue with game night with ______, ______, and ______. Hit up ____ to Hike or grab some food. Continue trying to get ____ to overcome his fear of being a n00b to play MTG

For me to do list has a pedestrian connotation so I don’t call it that because I’m dealing with serious life problems here. This particular notebook comes off that way but it’s organized by different things. It’s also ongoing. Items will be followed up in the completed section or next days yet to be achieved section.
The pragmatic journaling does not soley consist in lists. There are notebooos for each problem or area mentioned here among others.

Oh point taken about it being a way to deal with serious life problems. I deleted my nonsense.
