My Newest Productive Obsession

Those who are closest to me know that I am a perfectionist with almost everything in my life. Especially with things I have to write in. Hence the reason I hate planners. If I make even the smallest mistake or have to scribble something out (who uses pencils these days???) I get super discouraged and will rarely use the planner or notebook again. I know, wasteful. However, at the beginning of this year I discovered a new tracking system. It is called The Bullet Journal.

Never heard of the bullet journal? Seriously look into it! It is a planner, and a journal, and a to-do list, and a calendar all in one! The best part? It is made to be imperfect! The whole idea is to change your layouts, tracking system, and format over and over again until you find a system that works for you! My bullet journal consists of doodles, and lists upon lists, but it has helped me organize my life in a way I had never heard of!

You don't have to use the book designed for the Bullet Journal, but it certainly is nice! Any notebook will do! I personally am using a Moleskine Hardcover Notebook and I am very pleased with it so far, although I plan on trying the Leuchtturm 1917 Hardcover Notebook because the pages are supposed to be thicker as to help prevent bleeding! The best part (besides the amazing covers) is that they come in all different colors, which is a huge must-have to me!

There are tons of designs, and layouts all over the internet, pinterest being my personal favorite source. And you can make your BuJo as simple or complex as you want. I keep mine at a happy-medium, not too crazy but still plenty colorful (pictures to come!) If you haven't heard of The Bullet Journal, please look into it. It is the best customize-able and quick tracking system I have found, considering I prefer old fashioned paper and pen over keeping everything in my phone. It is definitely worth your time to take a peek into how this system is set up.
