Anyone else do Bullet Journaling? Looks neat.
@seven1m I've been bullet Journaling since last February, very nearly 1 year now.
Is great - the minimal structure to allow maximum flexibility while being organized with to be useful.
And if I don't use it for a few days, I haven't lost $18 worth of pages bought from Franklin Covey. :)
@SecondJon thanks for the reply! I am going to start it in February. I like the simplicity and low cost.
But I did learn not to watch any more 20-somethings on YouTube demoing their bullet journal process—way too complicated!!
@seven1m
Yes, the key for me is simplicity. I don't water color paint my future log or calligraphy my month overview. I don't even know all the standard bullets and meanings.
I'm on my third bullet journal now, the biggest help in the journal is to have the pages pre numbered. Mine are dotted, not lined, except for the first few lined pages for the table of contents.
Each bullet journal is different as I tweak the setup each time, and often vary how I track /log things as time goes on with a journal. The flexibility is key for me.
Newest change for me : flipping it over, upside down and starting from the back door my reading journal. Then all my reading notes are in one place, rather than mixed in with daily logs. Haven't perfected this yet, but I think it's useful.
Tried it at my wife's suggestion, she is a Franklin Covey user...or she was, until she saw my success bullet Journaling. Now we both have bullet journals.
@SecondJon flipping it over is a great idea! Thank you for the encouragement!
@seven1m The only difficulties I've had so far with the flip-over for my reading journal:
1. I tend to read more than 1 book at a time, but would like to keep my notes together per-book. Not sure how to do this well.
2. Page numbers: They're all upside down and I'm not quite sure how the best way is to index them on my table of contents.
