Essential Ideas For Your Bullet Journal

Submitted by Kaushal on Sun, 02/21/2021 - 22:27

If you’re starting a bullet journal or journaling in general, this post is for you. I think of the bullet journaling world as a whole as a giant puzzle, and each piece is a different person’s approach to it.

Because I'm all about making bullet journaling easier for everyone, I wanted to share some of the things that have really helped me out. I've gathered some of ideas mentioned here, including Goal Setting pages as well as Lifestyle and Habit tracking pages. They have made all the difference to me and my bullet journal.

1 – Title Page
since my roots are in Franklin Covey planners, I love having a place to enter my Roles (wife, mother, business owner, etc), my Values (family, health, education, etc), and my Strengths (helping, problem solving, etc). Having these clearly defined, really helps me set the tone when I’m trying to organize my day, week and month.

2 – The Daily Spread
I didn’t want to share any of my own pages, because my handwriting isn’t as great as most people who post their pages so need to know the best way of productive , but I couldn’t find anyone online that had what I do!

3 – A Weekly Spread
Even though I have most of my information on my daily pages, I like the look of a weekly spread to put dinner ideas, major appointments, exercise goals, and really just to see the week at a glance. Sometimes, I really appreciate seeing the week at a glance so I can have an idea when to fit other things in.

4 – Your Goals
So many fun ways you can make your goals pages to fit your style! This simple one really resonates with me, but you can also set up a tracking page, or more specifics for each goal, such as steps to get there. Check out this if you like to really get specific with your study goals!

5 – A Budget
