I’m always fascinated by how things change in my own life and in other people’s, especially with regard to how we do things.
Today I want to talk about bullet journalling.
Yes, I’m still bullet journalling and to be honest, even when the craze ends, I’ll still be using a bullet journal simply because I was bullet journalling long before it became a thing. In those days, I just had a notebook I carried around with me for my lists 🙂
I have noticed that the way I use my bullet journal changes according to the diary I have for that year.
This year I have a diary with lots of monthly goals space so I use my diary for my goals instead of the bullet journal. I still use my bullet journal for my monthly review though (you can download your monthly review free printable page here)
So which pages am I still using?
- Weekend to-do list
- WFM Daily to-do list (once a week)
- Podcast club notes (podcast club does not happen as often as it used to, though)
- list of blog posts to write (this is still a permanent page in my bullet journal)
- brainstorming specific blog posts or what needs to go in my monthly newsletter
- monthly project life photo planning (I do a mindmap and ask myself what happened that I want to remember, and then I look for a picture. It’s much less overwhelming than looking at 300 pics trying to whittle them down to 6)
- daily journalling from holidays, when they happen.
- People interested in the Four Tendencies workshop (I keep a list and update it after every workshop) – this has been a strange thing and I should write down some learnings after the workshop on 1 June happens.
- Life admin list – granted, at certain times of the year, this list is WILDLY busy but most months there are only one or two things on there at most, which is how I prefer it.
Are you still bullet journalling?
Which are your favourite pages in your bullet journal?
PS I have a separate bullet journal for all my reading. Read more about that one in this post.
I last bullet journalled in the 2nd week of Jan, you know when all the new year resolutions are still fresh. I also have my bookish stuff in another notebook – the one you bought for all our bookclub members last year. That is kinda up-to-date but I usually update it once a month or after about 6 weeks.
I’m still using mine, too, and like you, the way I use it has changed, even month to month. That’s what is so great about a bullet journal! It’s flexible.
