Bullet Journal
“For the list-makers, the note-takers, the Post-It note pilots, the track-keepers, and the dabbling doodlers. Bullet journal is for those who feel there are few platforms as powerful as the blank paper page. It’s an analog system for the digital age that will help you organize the present, record the past, and plan for the future.”

Jim, thanks for that.

Bullet Journal is an elegant system, and is well suited for the Leuchtterm1997 pocket notebook that’s always in, uh…my pocket. Nonetheless I’ve not yet tried it, believing, perhaps wrongly, that it is too restricting.

One change I’ve made in my overall task (mis)management is keeping all of my daily plans - no matter how complex - at the back of my notebook, so it’s all still with me, but not getting lost in the notes I’m taking on the run.

I’ve started to use the pocket notebook with graph pages, so to give myself greater line length with 1 task to a line I turn the notebook to a horizontal, or landscape, orientation. Works nicely.

I may still look at Bullet Journal to see what I can borrow or adapt.

During the last 15 months I have become very attached to my Nexus7 - and though it’s often in my backpack, as my laptop may also be, my love and fascination with paper, pens and inks that stain the figures is as strong as ever. Some research suggests writing longhand uses different brain circuitry than key boarding. We’re fortunate to have both to stimulate our brains.

Intentional note taking as a way of life, apart from note taking for work, is one way to explore the world and one’s self. Anything which contributes to that process, such as the Bullet Journal, is worthwhile.

Bullet journaling does not need be restricting at all, Daly. I’ve implemented a modified version in which I use the right handed page of my journal for the rapid logging that is the heart of bullet journaling. I keep the left hand page of each spread for more free-style notes, or for annotating the bullet items on the right page. Works pretty well for me, but I also incorporate software in the mix, because, well, I could not call myself a CRIMPer otherwise.

Good advice, Steve. I’ll take a second look at it.

As part of the changing process I noted in this threat I took a second look at Workflowy, which I’ll detail in that thread.

Cheers,

Daly

Hi Daly,

if you’re interested in both the bullet journal and WorkFlowy, you might be also interested in this attempt at combining the two (though I must admit I haven’t read it all the way through):
