For the to-do list makers, journal keepers and overall organized individuals, the Bullet Journal is the next big thing in note taking. This analog system is well adapted for the digital age we live in. With the open pages and dotted grid system, users can customize their journal in any way and update as plans change.
The idea behind the Bullet Journal is to have one system where users keep all of their notes, sketches, diary entries and to-do lists all in one place. The system is customizable and organized with an index in the beginning of the book.
The term bullet simply refers to the method of journaling encouraged. Using bullet points and a symbol-based system is at the core of the journal structure and helps writers keep track of when items change and recognize patterns.
The idea of rapid logging encourages the user to use shorthand in order to save time, space and energy. Bullet Journal creators understand that if taking notes takes too long, it becomes inefficient.
They also suggest choosing a journal appropriately, just the right size to be clear and legible as well as portable. The site also suggests keeping a key in the book of all of the symbols and their meanings.
There is space for daily logging, where writers can list what they did that day, still need to do and any other observations.
The monthly log section works like a traditional planner calendar, created by the journal keeper. Writers list their plans for the month, what they need to do and may have forgotten to do the previous month. Future logging is also encouraged, where users list their six to 12 month plan at a glance and list events, goals and long-term plans.
The journal is a blank canvas with endless customizable opportunities. When plans are created, changed and completed, the journal can be adapted.
For busy multitaskers or those who want to get their days and thoughts organized, Bullet Journal can be a canvas for their creative organization. There are instructional videos online and more information from users to help users get started.
