TASK OF THE DAY: STEP BY STEP JOURNALING.

Ryder Carroll started the Bullet Journal Method that grew into a lifestyle movement.
The bullet journal is a paper-and-pen journal where you can organise all of your lists, projects and plans in one place. Bullet journaling will help you to be more productive by organising what you have to do. However, the real purpose is to be mindful of why you&#39;re doing the tasks.

<li>Index: This section of the journal is a &quot;table of contents&quot; for the rest of the journal. When you add a new section, include its name and starting page number in the index.</li>
<li>Future log: This is where you note events like birthdays, weddings and vacations.</li>
<li>Monthly log: A month gets a two-page spread. The one page is a calendar-like list of every day of the month with bulleted entries for appointments, deadlines, meetings, and events from the Future Log. The second page is a bulleted list of tasks for the month.</li>
<li>Daily log: Every day gets its own page. Here you write everything that needs to get done today.</li>
</ul>

Bullet journaling basics

With a bullet journal, you can reflect on what you really want to do with your time and energy while writing down observations and inspirations. You can see which tasks are meaningless distractions while focusing on the real tasks.
To keep all the entries organized, use a quick notation system:

<li>● Tasks</li>
<li>O Events</li>
<li>: — Notes</li>
<li>✫ Priority</li>
<li>! Inspirational insights.</li>
</ul>

<li>It&#39;s a creative outlet for your doodling moments.</li>
</ul>

What bullet journaling can do for you

<ul>
<li>Don&#39;t make it profound so that it becomes a chore: You can write what you want and figure out what matters later.</li>
<li>Just get started: Write down a few tasks you want to get done today. Consider how you can resolve some issues you&#39;re facing. Write down some ideas and get started.</li>
<li>Buy materials you like: If you hate your materials, you&#39;re going to be less likely to use them every day.</li>
<li>Don&#39;t worry if it is not artistic: It is a reflection of your life, and that makes it beautiful.</li>
<li>Start with one area of your life: Track your eating habits, or financial goals, or friend&#39;s birthdays, etc.</li>

The Ultimate Bullet Journal Guide for Beginners and Beyond

It is the language in which the Bullet Journal is written, a way of capturing information as bulleted lists.&nbsp;It's a way to enjoy the benefits of hand writing, while avoiding the shortcomings of it.

Rapid Logging 

Bullets are short-form sentences paired with symbols&nbsp;that visually categorize your entries&nbsp;into: Tasks, Events, or Notes.&nbsp;

Bullets

They are represented by a simple dot “•”.You use a dot instead of a checkbox because&nbsp;it's fast, clean, and can easily be transformed&nbsp;to reflect the state of the Task.&nbsp;

Tasks

<ul><li>Events: represented by the open circle “O” Bullet, they are date-related entries that can either be scheduled or logged after they occur;</li><li>Notes:&nbsp;&nbsp;represented with a dash “–”. Notes include: facts, ideas, thoughts, and observations. They're used to capture information or data you don't want to forget.&nbsp;</li></ul>

Events and Notes

Symbols that give your&nbsp;entries additional context at a glance. They're placed to the left of Bullets so they stick out, making them easy to&nbsp;spot when scanning your pages.&nbsp; Examples:* = Priority: Used to mark the most important things on your list.&nbsp;! = Inspiration: Great ideas, personal mantras, and genius insights will never be misplaced again!

Signifiers

Each module, or Collection, serves to organize&nbsp;related&nbsp;information.&nbsp;<div>You can mix and match, customize, or even create Collections to best suit your needs. The 4 core Collections are: The Index, Future Log, Monthly Log, and the Daily Log.</div>

Bullet Journaling is a modular framework

It's at the front of your notebook, and&nbsp;serves to locate content in your Bullet Journal. Simply add the Topics of your Collections&nbsp;and their page numbers to the Index, so you can quickly find them later.

The Index

It allows you to glimpse the outlines of the future you're actively working towards.Each month, review your Future Log to see if anything can be migrated into the new Monthly Log.

The Future Log

Is a spread of facing pages that consists of a Calendar and a Task page.&nbsp;<ul><li>The Calendar Page: designed to provide a birdseye view of the month. Entries here should be as short as possible, as this page is designed for reference only.</li><li>The Task Page: designed to help you take a monthly mental inventory:&nbsp; priorities for the month, what remains undone from last month etc.</li></ul>

The Monthly Log

Designed for day-to-day use:<ul><li>At the top of the page, record the date as your topic.&nbsp;</li><li>Throughout the course of the day, simply Rapid Log your Tasks, Events, and Notes as they occur.&nbsp;</li><li>If you don’t fill a page, add the next date wherever you left off and you’re ready to continue.</li></ul>

Daily Log

Events are represented by the open circle "O" Bullet. Events are date-related entries that can either be scheduled (e.g. "Charlie's birthday") or logged after they occur (e.g. "signed the lease"). Our experiences can be complicated and distracting. Rather than trying to capture the way you feel in the moment, keep your Event entries short and objective.
