|
||
The nerdy pen bits
|
||
|
||
I use Leuchtturm1917 A5 dot grid notebooks for it at the moment.
|
||
Sometimes the Bullet Journal versions sometimes the regular. It all
|
||
depends on what is in stock and if I find a color that is cooler than
|
||
the dull crap they have for the Bullet Journal versions.
|
||
|
||
Most of the time I use fountain pens. Usually a finer nibbed one for
|
||
writing and broad stub to underline headings.
|
||
|
||
How I use it
|
||
|
||
I usually re-collect things when the number of pages from first to last
|
||
go beyond 20-30 pages, mostly because I find it easier to deal with.
|
||
Plus that I often need to replace at least some of the goals every 3-5
|
||
days anyways.
|
||
|
||
On the first two pages I write down my current “yearly” theme, and then
|
||
I write down some goals I have on some areas of my life. Usually weight
|
||
and fitness goals are there. Plus some things I focus on improving.
|
||
|
||
Then I put a marker there. Then I turn the page and make a daily page.
|
||
I make one every day. And move over whatever was left on the day
|
||
before.
|
||
|
||
I just write down the day of the week and the date. And start adding
|
||
stuff. I usually start by adding auto generated check lists from things
|
||
that kind of keep my life together.
|
||
|
||
Usually first work stuff, then my personal daily stuff. I often start
|
||
with the most important stuff. And then things I have to carry over
|
||
from the day before. And then I put a marker on the start of the daily
|
||
page and one marker at the first page with free space to write things.
|
||
|
||
The first marker is always on the “status / goal page” the second is
|
||
always at the first page with tasks I haven’t checked off and the last
|
||
one is always at the first page with available space.
|
||
|
||
As I complete things and run out of tasks I start refilling it. Usually
|
||
start with Daily tasks, move over to weekly and monthly if there are
|
||
anything there I need to do. And after that over to projects that are
|
||
in focus. First the ones outlined in the Hobonichi and then later
|
||
anything not hidden in my task manager.
|
||
|
||
Formatting
|
||
|
||
I don’t use the official Bullet Journal formatting, I’ve tried a few
|
||
times but after many years of using [12]Dash/Plus as my task management
|
||
on paper formatting system I’ve never been able to change it.
|
||
|
||
The way I do things is that I use one pen and color for writing and
|
||
another pen and color for underlining things.
|
||
|
||
I usually only have two levels of headings. One is the day, and then
|
||
one for the “collection”, when things go deeper than that I typically
|
||
will do it as sub-tasks and sub-sub-tasks etc. Anything that has tasks
|
||
under it will be underlined. To make it easy to spot.
|
||
|
||
In addition to this I also often will write a + between different
|
||
areas. Like when I move from “Work” related tasks to “Daily” tasks etc.
|
||
|
||
Page layout
|
||
|
||
My page layout is usually that I align the top level heading (the day
|
||
and date) to the left written larger than the rest.
|
||
|
||
The collection I typically center.
|
||
|
||
I also try to use as much of the page as possible. So, if a collection
|
||
only takes up half the width or a third of the width of the page, I
|
||
often will add another section next to it. Other times I write the
|
||
tasks two or three per line. It all depends on what works and how
|
||
mindful I am of not wasting page while doing it.
