Some tips for bullet journaling:
ENTRIES are LOGS using short, bulleted sentences.
Each ENTRY goes into one of (3) Categories:
- Tasks – denoted with a bullet
- Events – denoted with a small circle
- Notes – denoted with a dash
If the TASK is really important, place an * next to it.
This is known as a SIGNIFIER.
SIGNIFIERS add extra meaning to bullets.
RAPID LOGGING – makes capturing and organizing information really fast.
MIGRATION – Is it worth your time?
- If yes – move to the next day (or daily log) and denote with an arrow pointing to the right.
- If no, – move to a new monthly log or if it’s due month’s from now, move to Future Log. Denote with an arrow pointing to the left.
To help organize “related items”, create a COLLECTION.
COLLECTIONS are a great way to organize shopping lists, ongoing projects, classes or lists.
INDEXES are very important in bullet journaling.
Daily bullet journal (Examples):
- Tasks for the day
- Appointments
- What I’m having for dinner (planning)
- Must-do’s
- Can print lists and add to journal
Plan “SPREADS” out – (Spreads are next blank pages) before adding to the bullet journal.
Remember:
TRACK the PAST
ORGANIZE the PRESENT
and
PLAN for the FUTURE
