It's on a stenographer's pad with the 2 columns.
Requests on the left, with the date | Answers to prayer/further developments on the right, with date(s).
This method is a good one for me. Mostly because I can't remember a lot of people and things I pray for: the exact request, when it was, who all was/is involved, the circumstances, etc. More than anything, I'm doing this for spiritual discipline & growth...in learning how God answers prayer!
If you use this "prayer request pad" you may want to leave a space or spaces between requests for room for further developments or to log-in the answers {it depends on how detailed you want to be, mine is in a short-notes format}. If I need to resubmit a request for any reason, I refer back to the original date. Also, I write "late entry" {the date of it, and the original date} if I didn't log-in a request on the exact day I began praying about it or if I had forgotten to.
I record when prayers don't get answered how I would have preferred...if God, obviously, had other plans {as when a sick person I prayed for dies}...which leads to more prayer and gratitude for all He has given: "Thy will be done, on earth."
Btw, I'm really not a great prayer person or what has been called a "prayer warrior." But the lady who told me of this method is both! I actually need this "list" tool because I haven't prayed as I ought! But I'm learning. God is Good: All the Time.
Thanks & God bless,
