Then from there, I do what is essentially my version of the “daily log” each day – I write down the day of the week and write out what needs to get done that day.
The review bit is where I reflect at the end of each month I always ask myself the following questions: Did I met the goals I set? What other wins did I have? What’s not working? What am I avoiding? Then the tasks section is a place to brain dump all the things that need to get done that month (basically this is the “monthly log”). The monthly goals are basically smaller versions of the big ones I set for the beginning of the year. Then, for each month, I make a spread with my goals and tasks on one page and my monthly review on the other. In my first few pages, I have my intention for the year, a “mission statement” for myself and goals for the year. I start a new BuJo each year (for me this is actually April – March as I run my years in line with the financial year).
Also, because the BuJo system is so flexible, i find that you can adapt it to complement any digital planning tools you use.
For example, I don’t do the future log or weekly log. The best thing about the bullet journaling system is its flexibility – I would say I do use in the traditional BuJo way in that it’s a to-do list and planner combo but I don’t use all the features of the full BuJo system, if that makes sense. Do you have a favourite feature or element? I’ve been bullet journaling for a couple of years now and over that time I’ve tweaked how I use to in order to make it work for me and to fit in with the digital planning tools I also use. I’m one of those people who has to have my to-do lists physically pass through my hands for me to actually get them done. I use it each morning to plan out the work that needs to be done that day and I also use it for goal-setting and reflection. My bullet journal is a cornerstone of my planning system. My podcast, ‘ Is This Working?‘, with Tiffany Philippou, explores how we can make work better for everyone. I also campaign for #FairPayForFreelancers and founded FJ&Co, a platform for freelance journalists which gives them the tools, resources and community support they need to make a sustainable self-employed living. I’m a freelance journalist, writing for publications like The New York Times, Wired, and The Guardian, and I write a weekly newsletter, The Professional Freelancer, about how I make a career out of freelance writing.
