Writing Bullet Journal

As we all know, every day is a new beginning. Let’s take a deep breath and start journaling our beautiful experiences in the journey of life. Talking about journaling, one of the most common types of journals is the Bullet Journal, where the content is written in the language of rapid logging. Rapid logging is when you write your ideas, thoughts and memories in quick notes which are readily available later for elaborating. Bullet journaling helps one to relive the past, enjoy the present and plan the future.

The bullet journal method enables one to organise the to-do list, note-down random ideas, gather thoughts together, plan the day ahead and pen down the goals to achieve in the near future. In the words of Cal Newport, the author of one of the best-sellers Deep Work, “Bullet journals will not only help you get more organized but will also help you become a better person.”

The language of bullets

But, what makes a bullet journal different from the others? Well, a bullet journal too has its own format and fancy languages. Every bullet journal has an index, a daily log, a monthly log and a future log. In addition to the above, the pages are decorated as per the writer’s wish and every page is numbered. All the information synced into this system, is short and brief, thus making it one of the fastest way to record details.

The ‘bullets’ in the Bullet Journal refer to the various symbols that we will be allotting for each kind of detail that we jot down in the journal. Starting with an index page, the journal gives us a brief list of what we will be looking at, in the following pages, thus making our search easier.

Logs and trackers

Next in order, bullet journals have the future log or in other words, a simple calendar which contains the birthdays of your loved ones and your travel plans in the upcoming months. After the pages that are entirely dedicated to the future logs, the next few pages are allotted for monthly, weekly and daily logs in order. Lastly, the journal concludes with modules to track bigger things like read-list, wish-list and mood swings.
