Spotlight: Bullet Journaling

[part 5a of Cori’s Planner Pieces series]

I recently heard the term Bullet Journaling on one of the many Planner Facebook groups. I educated myself on this concept and discovered that I use a similar system for my writing notebook. My writing notebook set up will be in another post.

A website that outlines and explains the Bullet Journaling concept is: www.bulletjournaling.com

There is also a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfRf43JTqY4 starring Ryder Carroll. He does a really good job explaining setting up a bullet journal.

I’m not going to reinvent the wheel and give you the instructions on how to create your own bullet journal.

I only have a few additional comments I’d like to make to Ryder’s bullet journal instructions:

• You don’t have to call the Index page, the Index page. I prefer Table of Contents, but you can also call this page whatever you want.
• If you’re not a regular calendar user, this is a great way for sporadic organization.
• This organizational system could be very handy for short term projects at work or as a general project manager set up.
• For students, a new bullet journal each semester could be made up and it would allow you to just focus on the semester. Class notes, project notes, reading notes, etc.

I recommend going to the website and watching the video.
