I really appreciate the way you maximize your space, use primarily words and integrate your journaling into the dailies. Thank you for sharing. I like your style and the primary black and white look…it appeals to me. Very inspiring!

I keep my Bullet Journal on the minimalist side, and your weekly was a great inspiration to include one in my journal as well. I knew I would have to add one in eventually if I were to keep everything on track. Your’s seems right up my alley, and being copied into my journal as we speak!

Elena – What a wonderful, well-written, and instructive piece! Thank you so much for sharing your daily rituals as well as tips to improve productivity and organization. You’re making me consider picking up a bullet journal practice for my post-grad-school life :) Keep inkin’ away!

I mean by making it look so good. It must take a lot of time.

I’m not sure what your point is with this comment. This is just about as minimalist as a Bullet Journal can get.

This is amazing! Don’t you find that it takes more time making it look good then actually doing and planning the work?

Aw, shucks! I credit this system with keeping me sane these past three years.

Thank you Elena! Since I use a midori, I’ve been looking for something to add into my monthly spread to replace the calendar, and your ‘waiting on’ list is it! As a writer I need to keep track of my submissions, and I also need to keep track of online orders and stuff so I think this will be very useful!

That is too kind, thank you!

Thanks, Giacomo! The focus for me is always planning – I’m a busy law student, so my priority is to get things done. I do like to keep things clean and readable, and I’m lucky to have naturally neat writing. Cursive headings take a few seconds longer, but no spread has ever taken me more than five minutes to set up, and the trade-off is worth it: I’m more likely to actually use my bullet journal if I have some fun with it. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your support, Jeanne! And I very much endorse a foray into the bullet journal world – I think you would enjoy it!

I’m so very very flattered! I’m delighted you enjoyed it.

I had the same experience: I held off on weeklies for quite a while, but I like the redundancy of the weekly calendar (prevents those pesky meetings from slipping through the cracks) and having a place to list weekly chores and assignments. I’d love to hear how it works out for you!

Thank you, Dawn! I’m so glad you liked it. I was pleased to be able to squeeze April–Dec. 2016 into one Leuchtturm; I’m hoping I can fit a whole year in my new notebook.

I’m very happy to hear you could see the GTD coming through! Your method sounds great. I love how the flexibility of the bullet journal makes it possible to experiment with different ways of implementing GTD.

Thank you Elena. I recognized a lot of GTD by David Allen in your Bullet Journal pages. I’m pleased to see this, because it’s exactly what I’m trying to do too. GDT in a Bullet Journal. I found it difficult to adapt the different GDT task lists to the Bullet Journal. Eventually got to a solution. I have the huge list with all task and projects at one place in the Bullet Journal. In the monthly and weekly task lists I have the Focus list, with the tasks I want to focus on. I’m still experimenting, but I think it’s starting to work for me.

Thanks Charley – I’m so glad you found that useful! I think it’ll work great for keeping tabs on submissions.

Thank you Jolie! The braindump really helps me feel like there are no loose ends bumping around in my brain and causing background stress. And I’m glad you liked the idea of context labels!

I love how you combine bullet journaling, GTD, and actual journaling. I’ve been trying to find my flow with bujo for the past few months so it’s so cool to see your evolution! Thanks for sharing!

This is so far my favourite layout. I like to keep things simple and organised, and your journal really resonates with me. I love the to-do lists and the layouts. I have also kept a weekly layout, otherwise I would be completely lost! Thanks for this, I will definitely adapt some of your ideas into my own Bullet Journal.

This is one of the first layout’s that makes perfect sense for my kind of work. Thank you so much for posting it! I’m a fountain pen person too, so I love what you’ve done with it. Thanks! Off to revamp my bullet journal!

I got huge inspiration from this. I absolutely love your braindump system. I’ve been trying to incorporate braindump in my bujo but it never works. I think it’s pretty clever to have a initial letter to categorize the tasks.
xo,
