Recently, I discovered the bullet journal system and while seated on the couch unmoving after a surgical procedure on my back, I watched a few videos showing very organised people using the bullet journal.
Ooh, better organised! More productive! Sounds like me. I buy a Personal Planner and this year I was determined everything was going in there - work, home, farm, writing, health and fitness and social. I designed it with lots of blank pages (essential for bullet journalling) so after several video tutorials, I was ready. Here's the day 18 progress report: Youtube: I find the such-and-such felt tipped pen from x-y-z works really well for bullet journalling. Reality: Ten minute search through handbag for a pen. Any pen. Youtube: Colour coding your tasks with different colour pens works really well. Reality: Today we have black pen. For variety, every so often it globs the ink and smudges everything. I have highlighters...somewhere... Youtube: I like to decorate my journal with tape and stickers. Reality: Is the dog's flea treatment sticker acceptable? What about white out tape? Youtube: I love looking back through my bullet journal. Reality: Ummh?? My bullet journal looks a bit like the entry exams for a handwriting remedial class crashed into a paper shredder and spewed all over my diary. To start with, this worried me. Now, not so much. Youtube: You get such a great feeling when you tick something off. Reality: Yes. Yes. Yes. Right now I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed because now I have everything written down in one spot, its confronting. But I am managing to tick tasks off the list, and keep the many and varied things I do in order. Wish me luck. Comments are closed.
