At the moment, I'm really happy with the weekly planner template I use. Most of the tutorials I found initially were about monthly and daily views, so I thought I'd share my weekly template example here in case someone else finds something to take from it! I tend to plan in terms of weeks so this has been working well for me.

This is what my view looks like at the start of the week:



I have a large section on top where I park what I want to accomplish during the week but not necessarily on Monday. This makes my daily migrations less painful and is helpful as I often have a bunch of phone calls or other "following up on appointments" things to do, that I tend to forget about until the end of the month if I leave them in the monthly section. Migrating them daily was super painful in the past and I always ended up giving up. This way, I also get a weekly reminder when I do a weekly migration. When I do that, I also go look at my monthly to-dos to see if I want to bring something else in.

More explanations and pictures )

And that's how I adapted the method to my needs :) Do you have a weekly view yourself, or other tips you found helpful for managing weekly tasks, recurring or not?

2018 Goals

Hi, thought I'd share this with you guys in case anyone would like to try it...

I started a new bullet journal this month, and left one of the first pages free for adding Goals and Resolutions.

This year, it's a long laundry list, consisting of mostly mundane self-care stuff (plan healthier meals, do yoga, start taking supplements, travel, have fun, regulate my sleep, etc.). Instead of putting up my usual written list though, I decided to make little doodles of each item (as part of a drawing challenge), and I love how my 2018 Goals page turned out!

Now, instead of feeling sort of overwhelmed by a huge list of tasks ahead of me, it puts a smile on my face whenever I look at the page. I really like the idea of making your goals into visuals (pasting pictures, doodles, etc.) as an added motivation. :)

I've recently stumbled across bullet journalling on youtube and I'm gearing up to start my first notebook. I'm literally just using a pukka pad I had lying around the house and a black biro, nothing fancy until I know if the system is going to work for me.

I've got plenty of ideas spinning around my head over what I think I want to include and how I think I'm going to use it.

What would you say are your essentials for your bullet journal? What's worked best for you? What's not worked? And... what did you wish you knew before you started?

thank you in advance! :)

I went for a little ramble today and on a whim popped into the gift shop for the Tower of London and found... these:



It's certainly not where I expected to find tea cup sticky tabs and washi tape (although they don't call it that, of course), but I snapped them right up!

Have you found Bujo supplies in unexpected places?

(From last month's post: I do a bit of a daily journal/recap in my bujo, and every day, I try to write down one to three things that I appreciated that day.)

I've posted my May appreciation list! Right this way!

I really like tracking this in my bujo. It gives me something to remember from every day and little hints of what had my attention in a month. From glancing at my list for May, I can see that I: spoiled my cats, planted my petunias, looked at lots of pictures of pretty hair, and saw Guardians of the Galaxy. XD

I do a bit of a daily journal/recap in my bujo, and every day, I try to write down one to three things that I appreciated that day. I just started at the end of February, so I sat down and typed up all my appreciations so far.

Right this way!

My Leuchtturm1917 dot grid A5 in navy blue should be arriving soon, and I'm gearing up to journal in my new fancy notebook.

Does anybody have links to decorative journal pages or pretty collections or layouts? Or post me a picture from your own journal I can use for inspiration.

Thanks so much, everyone.

I'm thinking of adding a habit tracker to my bujo. For those of you who use them, could you possibly post a pic or two? I'm trying to get a feel for how everyday people (versus Instagram superstars) use them on a practical, routine basis.

It doesn't matter if it's weekly vs monthly (or even daily!). I'm not wedded to format. I'm just trying to figure out what would work best for me, what I'd find useful to track, etc etc.

Thanks!

Do you have any spreads you're especially proud of? What about a collection? Anything interesting there?

On things related to productivity: What about your daily logs? Is there one day where you finished everything and didn't need to migrate any tasks?

On a more aesthetic level: Had a day where your handwriting was on point? Has your calligraphy leveled up? Do you want to show us that cute washi tape border?

Share a photo in the comments. Go!

If you haven't been keeping tabs, I recommend checking out the comments in the newbie-friendly resource post. Lots of good ideas and suggestions there!

Today, I thought it'd be fun to share our essential bujo gear. Maybe it's something basic like your bullet journal and a ballpoint pen. Or maybe it's something fancy like this amazing stamp and sticker set you have.

Whatever it is, leave a comment with a photo and/or a simple list of items. Consider this your introduction to the community and each other. Go!
