My new daily journal
I'd like to think I'm a fairly organized person, but I'm not.
I'd like to think I have a good memory, which is also not true.
I feel like I am constantly forgetting things, which sadly is VERY true, so I was quite interested when I happened across some information on Bullet Journaling. There is way too much to say about it, but it's a system - a flexible system - of organizing a notebook into keeping your appointments, tasks, goals, lists, pretty much whatever you want to track.
I bought myself a $1.25 notebook and $1.00 worth of small labels at the dollar store to get started. Then I read some posts over at Miss Zoot, thought about what my goals were with this system, and got started. I made myself a page for goals/tasks for the month, some pages for notes I think I'll use (Stuff to Know, Gift Ideas, Movies to see, Books to Read), and then a section for daily happenings.
I've been using the notebook for just under a month now and I'm so happy with it. I use a couple of elastic bands to keep it shut and throw it in my purse so I've always got it with me in case I need to add something. (Which I did yesterday! I felt so grown up pulling it out and adding a note. Go me.)
I try to remember to check it every morning for not only that day, but the week.
I definitely feel more organized and while I still don't accomplish as much as I'd like in the timeliest of manners, I'm feeling more like I've got a hold of things, and that's important to me.
Check out Miss Zoot's posts, and there's tons of stuff (obvs) if you google bullet journal.
