![]() ![]() The other good thing about bullet journals is that you can also set up an annual section, to get an idea of the upcoming weeks and months and how they will play out. If it’s for next week, I put it straight into next week to remember, because when I update it for next week, I’ll check this list and I can map it forward. If I have an intrusive thought about something I haven’t done or need to do that is going to happen between now and Sunday, I usually put it on a Saturday and Sunday. So that’s the key reason that a bullet journal keeps you kind of sane. So I have a page at the back of the journal for my content planning. When I process my journal on Monday mornings, I pick up last week’s random thoughts and actually put them somewhere. The other thing that happens while I’m doing that is I’m writing one article and I get a bit wordy and I go off on a tangent, and I realize that, “Oh, that’s actually a totally different article.” So that’s not a task per se, but rather something to put in the ideas section. For example, as I’m writing an email will come in that I don’t want to process right away, so I put it on the list to make sure that I don’t lose it. What I mean by that is often when I’m trying to write, I’ll remember something that I have forgotten to do. The reason I love this so much is that it’s really a great way of managing thought load. Step 4: As new things come up, fit them in If there are, then I find a place to fit them in for this week to make sure that they get done. Then I check through my page for the previous week, and check to see if there are any tasks that I didn’t get done. ![]() So that’s what I do at the start of the week. Anything upcoming that I might need to prepare for beforehand, such as a two-day client meeting, I add in here to give myself a heads up for any preparation I might need. Then I flip through to my calendar for next week. This would include meetings with clients or colleagues, as well as things like going to the gym. Step 1: Document your appointmentsĪt the start of the week, I go through my calendar and I put in all of the appointments. Finally I have a habit tracker section which helps keep my resilience high. That’s really important for me as a writer, because I’m constantly getting ideas on a call with somebody that I need to write down before I lose them. I leave a spot for what I’m going to do next week, so that I have a heads-up of what’s upcoming. There’s a spot for each day of the week, although I put Saturday and Sunday together because I try not to have too many tasks or appointments at the weekend. This allows you to use a template to plan your week. LayoutĪ bullet journal has tiny dots in a grid pattern which allows you to make lines any way you want. Bullet journaling was invented by Ryder Carroll, and there are many different versions of it, but I thought I’d share my version.
