I’ve been obsessed with planner for the longest time and I am a fan of over decorative setup. Choosing the Bullet Journal for 2015 is a big decision for me because it calls for simplicity. All you need is a notebook and pen and you can easily generate a planner.

Bullet Journal Basics

Bullet Journal gets its name from creating bullets. There are three main indicators that you need to be familiar with. A Checkbox for tasks (you can mark check for completed tasks and mark cross for incomplete), an Open Circle is used to denote an event (you can put a check for events that occurred already or cross out if cancelled, and a Simple Bullet is for notes or things that you need to remember.

Here’s a picture of other indicators that you can use on your planner.

An Index is the very first part of your bullet journal. This serves as the table of contents. This also means that you need to put a page number on every sheet of the notebook you are using. Don’t worry because though it may feel like time-consuming, it will save you so much time in the future because you have an easier way to find out where you notes were. 

Once the Index is complete you can have your Monthly Page. Again as simple as it is you just write down the month of the year as the title and list all of the dates with the corresponding day of the week. 

The Monthly Page is where you will store all of the specific event, dates to remember, holiday that will occur, travel plan and so on. It is a useful way to have a quick glance on how your month will be. 

On the next page is the Monthly Tasks. You need your main bullets (indicators) for this page. You just basically write every tasks that you need to accomplish for the particular month. Remember to leave a space to write down whether the tasks is moved or migrated.

Now that you have the Monthly Page and Monthly Tasks, you are ready to create your Daily Tasks. Spend at least 15 mins a day to just write down the things that you need to do for the said day from the moment you wake up until before you fall asleep. Your indicators are a must in this.

When you go back to a particular date you can easily know what you did and it will surely be an on point list of everything and just anything that happened on that particular date.

What’s your opinion?! Do you find the Bullet Journal appealing?
