Bullet Journal: Organization Method

What is a Bullet Journal?

  The bullet journal is a personal organization system (that is, it works as an agenda does) created by Ryder Carroll. The idea could not be simpler: we will use a new notebook every year, in which we will write down as a list everything we have to do every day.

What does it take to do it?

   • A medium notebook, can be with blank sheets, stripes or dots (as you like).

   • A ballpoint pen, in my case I use a Stabilo excel 828F.

   • And time to prepare your Bullet Journal.

How to do it?

1. Create an annual and monthly calendar

I recommend that you use both, because starting your Bullet Journal with an annual calendar will help you visualize your long-term goals, while the monthly will allow you a greater concentration of the tasks to be carried out.

2. Choose the symbols of your Bullet Journal

  If we want to do a Bullet Journal well, we cannot write all the tasks to be done; The first thing is to create a legend and write down the symbols that we reserve for each task. In this way it will be much easier to locate and differentiate them. For example:

• Tasks to be carried out (□)

• Tasks performed (📷)

•Priority tasks (*)

• Tasks we pass to another day (→)

• Events (○)

• Notes (●)

• Ideas (♡)

3. Write your daily log

  The daily log is the traditional agenda, but it is also the Bullet Journal list that we use to organize day-to-day tasks. If the calendars help us to make an annual review, in the daily log we will write down the daily tasks to be carried out.

4. Write down the weeks in your Bullet Journal

  Did you know that Bullet Journal Week View is a most useful resource? It not only offers you a vision of the week that awaits you; It also allows you to write down the most outstanding weekly tasks, although later you want to break those tasks down into a separate point.

5. Add color. Be yourself

From then on, you can add what you want, be it travel lists, grocery shopping, movies and series to watch ... And of course give it your touch by painting it or drawing pictures ..

And ready!!
