![]() ![]() I use a dotted A5 notebook and a black fine liner. I have opted to keep my bullet journal completely clean and sleek. Some want to use colours, stickers, washi tape or change their monthly layouts. It’s all individual and and it’s infinitely customisable. You add pages according to your needs: someone might want to track their gains at the gym, while others want to keep track of their coffee purchases some might need to co-ordinate school runs, while others need to outline study plans. Here’s a short youtube video by Carroll himself if you want to know more about his ideas. It’s a system for “tracking the past, organising the present, and planning for the future”. Let’s start with the basics: the bullet journal is an analogue method devised by NY-based designer Ryder Carroll. The bullet journal is the best tool I have found, and I am deeply in love. ![]() I have tried a lot of things: wall planners, digital calendar reminders, traditional planners, and dozens of notebooks. I am a one-woman business and as a result I have a long to-do list every day. My bullet journal keeps me organised, focused, and productive which is no mean feat. For details about how to organize your notebook, keep reading.Recently I mentioned on social media that I am a new convert to bullet journaling. As you continue to bullet journal, you can create custom logs, collections, and signifiers that work best for you. Then add the new collection to your index. List all of the related tasks underneath. Open to a new spread and write the name of a topic at the top of the page. If you have multiple related tasks, add a collection to your journal to keep them organized. If a task is due in months, draw a left arrow next to it and add that task to the corresponding month in the future log. If there are any uncompleted tasks that are still worth doing, draw a right arrow next to them and add the tasks to your new monthly log. Then, cross out all the tasks in your daily logs that you completed. ![]() At the end of each month, add a new monthly log to the next open spread. If a task is really important, put a star next to it. When you’re adding items to your daily log, put a bullet point next to tasks, a circle next to events, and a line next to notes. Add page numbers to the bottom left corner of every page in your bullet journal, and add each number and the name of the corresponding log to the index. Once you’ve added an entry for each day of the week, flip to a new spread and add entries for the following week as it progresses. When the day ends, make a new entry for the next day below it. Open to the next spread and write today’s day at the top of the page and a bullet point list of things you need to do today underneath it. The tasks go on the right page of the log. This will be the monthly log where you write down upcoming tasks for the month. Add the abbreviation for the day of the week to the right of each date. Write each day of the month on the left side of the left page from top to bottom. Open to the next spread and write the current month at the top of each page. This will be the future log of your journal where you keep track of tasks you need to complete within the next 6 months. Then write “Future Log” at the top of each page. Write the name of the next 6 months so there’s one month at the top of each section. Divide that by 3, then draw 3 horizontal lines across the spread to divide it into 6 equal sections, 3 on each page. Open to the next spread and count the number of lines on one of the pages. Open to the first spread and write “Index” at the top of each page. To bullet journal, first choose an empty journal to write in. ![]()
