![]() ![]() I legit love going back and rereading all, or parts, of the book to refresh my brain. This isn’t some plug for the book just because I am writing this here. I make mental notes of these pages because things change and I might need something like that in the future.īefore I take my next step and start setting up my journal, I like to reread The Bullet Journal Method. ![]() They worked for me then, but now I won’t require them. In my new role, I don’t have direct reports, so those 1:1 pages for each person are not going to be needed. For each person, I dedicated a page for one-on-one conversations. For example, from January through October of this year I held a job where I had direct reports. There are some pages in my bujo that did work well for me but that I might not need in my next journal. Acknowledging this and reflecting helps me think through the problem and work towards a different solution. For example, I will still keep daily notes and tasks in my journal - but for long-term projects, I will make a separate collection to keep my notes together. Sometimes, it might be something that needs to be adjusted to work better in the future. What didn’t work doesn’t always mean that it was a complete waste or disaster. I found that I felt more disorganized and my notes felt scattered all over the page. This year I tried to keep my weekly to-dos and project needs in my daily logs versus making a dedicated collection page. Not making dedicated project collection pages Overview containers work well for me, but I found that limiting myself to a daily box was constricting and most of the time I had to work beyond the box to fit my full day. Trying to contain a whole day in a box versus leaving room for what I might need. I don’t work on monthly goals, which is why this may not have worked for me. While there was a good intention of keeping these, I never kept up with them and in some cases never filled them out. These are all things that I will be taking with me into my new journal (or a new year if I was in the same journal). Weekly overview pages with room for daily rapid logging Here is my list of what did and didn't work for me in 2021: They all come with good intentions, but that doesn’t mean that they are the best for me - but you don’t know until to try. Sometimes I find that I give into the Instagram machine and I try to make pages that I think people will like or recreate pages that I see and think are good ideas that I don’t usually keep for myself. With what didn’t work, I like to take a little bit of time and write a note on why it didn’t work. I usually write the extremes – it worked well and I want to keep it or it didn’t work at all and I don’t need to try it again. Not every page I look over makes it onto my list. I take a moment to look it over and make a note if the pages worked or didn’t. To prepare for a new year, I like to make a collection page called “ New Year Review” where I split a page and list what worked and what didn’t work in that year’s journal.Īfter I make this collection page, I start in the front of my journal and flip through each page. No matter what, new journal or not, I always take time to reflect on my year before starting the next year. With only a handful of pages left for 2021, I am reflecting on my current bullet journal and planning for my 8th Bujo. ![]() Over the past 4.5 years of keeping a Bullet Journal, I keep my journals going until I run out of pages and it’s rare that it coincides with a new year, but this year is different. My name is Mark Figueiredo, and I go by on Instagram and Youtube. ![]() South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands (USD $) ![]()
