So, what is this new-fangled domahicky?!?  Okay, it’s not terribly new, but I have found it to be an asset to help me with my writing, and it just may have the ability to help you out too!
So, here is a picture of my personal bullet journal with my daily analog planner ( I’m still a 90’s kid).  I still have yet to name my little duck friend, but when I do, I will be sure to keep you guys updated. I find I like to keep several accounts of the same information in a few different places because I have a hard time focusing, and need to see important information with whatever method I am using at the time.

Before I go into how to use a bullet journal, let me first explain why it works for me.

For what it is worth, I get the biggest thrill will filling in bubbles. The only thing I love more than that is to accomplish something while I do it.  So I kept to a VERY simple method of filling in bubbles as I complete my tasks.

The aim of the game is to find what motivated you to accomplish those tasks.  While my method works for me, it may not work for you. With this in mind the only way you will move forwards is to simply start a bullet journal.

HOWEVER dont force yourself to adhere to a strict outline of which method you choose.  Treat it as a learning phase where you are building up the habit of checking your bullet journal.

Your journal should be the Lexicon of all of your tasks. For example- I have my weekly spread of task lists in a seperate journal alltogether that I contstruct on a weekly basis, based on all the tasks or goals I wish to accomplish and break it down into smaller managemble chunks in my weekly journal.

I find trying to plan anything further out than a week or two gets lost in the shuffle.  Focusing on your present and near future is best, so you can adapt with emergencies or new projects that fall in your lap.
