I don't think I'd break it down into just topics, but I love a good, thoroughly used up and and worn out scrap book. I have one where I tape in or write inspirational quotes, clothes I'd like to wear that don't come in my size, summaries of conversations or revelations that I've had, goals, NSVs, etc. I guess mine is more of a journal with lots of Sharpie work and scrap book like pages. There was a book ages ago by a woman who kind of crafted her way to weight loss. She did a lot of art and craft that were weight loss inspired. Most of it was not for me, but she had one piece with the text, "I have already wasted too much time thinking about this" (paraphrase) on it and that SPOKE to me. You can embroider on some of the pages, you can paste in before and afters and images that inspire you. I have kept track of things like - RSL hit her 10% goal today. If I had started with her when she asked, I'd be there, too! That kind of thing is inspiring to me, it might be depressing to others.
I don't really get the whole very carefully planned scrap book trend. They're cute, but not for me. At the end of the day, you're using someone else's pre made ideas and materials. Skip the expense and sketchbook your own ideas and thoughts and inspiration!
However you decide to do it, it's a great idea. Anytime you get the urge to munch, you can keep yourself busy with your book and you're making tangible inspiration and progress report. Check Pinterest. I'm SURE someone has scrap book/sketch book ideas!
