With the summer in full swing and less time in the “taxi” schlepping everyone around it’s the perfect time to sort out my organizer. Does it work? Do I need something better? Will I even use it? The bottom line is that it needs to be portable, functional and make my life easier. If I can manage to find a system that does all of that my year is guaranteed to start off great.
For the past few months I’ve been hooked on bullet journaling. What is bullet journaling? It’s a system you create and to help you figure out what style works best there are templates, design ideas and even a tutorial or two on Pinterest.
While browsing on Pinterest can lead to a sudden loss of hours for this it’s worth the investment. I have never been more satisfied and happy to find a way to keep from missing anything.
The concept is really simple – you enter all of your important information, appointments, tasks and lists the way that works for you. The page layout/design can change daily, weekly or monthly.
While I’ve tried the expensive planners, filler pages and even the trusty iPhone calendar…I am hooked on this new way of keeping my life sorted and organized.
I’d love to know what works for you…how do you keep it all together between work, family, school and hobbies? Do you have more than one planner or do you have a system within a system to make it work?
I tip my hat off to all the authors who post their journaling system so we can learn from them.
I am raising a glass now to toast a productive and successful year to all!
