I've got a A5 loose leaf folder that I use, I just write :-
name, date sown, where. sprouted.
It lets me know roughly when to sow the following year and when its time to give up if a seedling hasn't appeared.
I'd like something that told me what to do each day - like "on Monday 20/9 you sow carrots" and then my inner rebel would surface and say "Nobody tells me what to do" and I would ignore it........................that's more or less how I do everything.
Thanks for the input everyone, at least I'm not alone in my haphazardness. I will soldier on, and in the immortal words of my form teacher 'must try harder.
