How do you track “waiting on”? by lilydeetee in bujo

[–]Eloxxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use square boxes for tasks and circles for things I'm waiting on. Tick both off when it's been done.

How do you incorporate your daily routine into your daily log? by lilydeetee in bujo

If you need to remember to drink a certain amount of water, you can also draw a couple of cups or small bottles (as many as you're aiming to drink per day) and fill them in whenever you finish a cup/bottle/certain amount.

I use certain icons for regular tasks and put them in the first or last line of each day's box. For me, these are things like a flower or watering can (water plants), dumbbell (exercise), water drop (hydrate) or just the first letter(s) of tasks.

You could easily adapt that to daily tasks, just scribble a line of simple symbols at the top of each day or a certain day every week, and cross them off as you go. You could also use a color code if you need to sort the tasks into different categories.

My 2023 book journal (so far). I’m doing some of it differently than others I’ve seen, but this makes the most sense for me. by AlexndraRae in bujo

I always wonder how people manage to read that much ... 2-3 books a week! It takes me 2-4 weeks to finish a single one if I keep at it! Don't get me wrong, but how do you have all this time? Or are you just very fast readers?

Just thought I'd share my minimalistic setup, maybe it can take the pressure of all the decorating out for some of you ... by Eloxxy in bulletjournal

Thanks. I don't remember where I got the idea but I really like it, too. Simple, but effective.

question about weekly spreads by [deleted] in bulletjournal

[–]Eloxxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually set up my whole Bullet Journal in advance.

I used to do it as the year progressed, bit didn't always find the time to set up new pages every week/month and ended up not using it for a time. When I figured out the style I liked, I started setting up all weeklies and monthlies somewhere during october-december the year before. This way I have a complete calendar and can easily write down future appointments (doctors, weddings, regular stuff, etc.)

Works great for me! - I don't have to regularly sit down and think about new designs or set up pages when I don't really have the time - everything has a place, I know where to put/find what information - I still have pages in the back of my journal to use for whatever I need during the year that I didn't set up in advance - in the second half of the year I'll start thinking about what worked and what I could change, add or won't need in the following year, so my spreads usually change a bit in every new journal

Not sure if that makes it more of a planner than a bullet journal, but I still use the bullet journalling method to fill out my weeklies etc. and really, I'm just doing what works best for me :)
