Bullet Journal

What is a bullet journal?

A bullet journal is a combination of a to-do list, a planner, and a diary. The bullet journal is very flexible it can include any variation or amount of the sections most commonly included in a bullet journal.

Sections of a bullet journal

Index

This is a table of contents that allows you to easily find sections of the journal that you want to revisit.

Future log

A Future Log is just a fancy name for a year calendar, this is meant to be used for important events, to-dos, and notes for the months throughout the year.


Tracking pages

These are pages you can set up to track things over time, for example I have a page for books I want to read and movies I want to see.


Monthly log

This is where you can set up an overview of the coming month, you can put things like birthdays, appointments, and events here. You can also include a second page to your monthly log to list your monthly to-dos.


Monthly trackers

A monthly tracker is set up so that you can track habits throughout the month, in my bullet journal I am tracking healthy habits and I have an activity log.


Weekly log

A weekly log is a more detailed version of a monthly log, this could be helpful if you have many appointments or tasks to complete in any given week.

Daily log

A daily log can include everything you have going on that day and can also be used to jot down notes and thoughts you have throughout the day.

More ideas

These are just some of the basic sections of a bullet journal, beyond that you can include a section to cater to your specific needs. To give some examples, here are some things I include in my bullet journal:

Meal planner

Here I create a weekly meal plan that I use to create a shopping list.


Doodle page

I love to doodle so I included a doodle page in the middle of my daily logs.

Personal projects

I have included pages for my personal projects, here I write down the purpose of the project, my end goal, my process, and any struggles or success I have.


Blog topics

I have a to-do section with different blog topics that I want to explore
The possibilities are endless, your journal could be as complex or as simple as you need.

Personal Projects: Book Design

Book Design In a previous post I talked about personal projects and why they are important. I just started a new personal project that I have found extremely relaxing and fun. I am a book junkie, I love reading. I love books of all different genres and topics, when I find a good book I can't put it down. When I was brainstorming different personal project ideas it seemed obvious that books should fall on the list somewhere. While trying to evolve this idea to design something including books the first thought was of course the cover and the layout on the inside, but I quickly felt skeptical about this idea because of the amount of time it would take to read the book and the amount of time that it would take for me to design the entire thing. After coming up with ideas and quickly dismissing them for about an hour I finally landed on my final project objective. Objective To relax and have fun while designing and developing book cover designs, while improving my illustration...

Here is a list of things you can do before the meeting to be prepare for a redesign. Communication Chances are you have had some communication with your potential client already, maybe they told you a general idea of what they want or maybe they gave you a lot of details. Either way it's important that you remember this information and have it available to you during the meeting. I would recommend creating a list of the needs and requests they have already given you before the meeting. Research: Part One Part one of research is to spend some time researching what you are redesigning, whether it's a website, magazine, or marketing materials.
