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 havent 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 dont use the official Bullet Journal formatting, Ive tried a few
times but after many years of using [13]Dash/Plus as my task management
on paper formatting system Ive 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.
