Rolling Weeks with Daily Log

The Bullet Journal method has many advantages. One of the best aspects of this system is its ability to adapt to any user. If you think the Bullet Journal has any shortcomings, you can probably find a way around that.

Case in point: the need for a short term future log. If you've found the need to record near future events but the future log and monthly log just don't work or you don't want to use space there, Tale at Finding North has a great idea that is very simple and easy to use. She calls it Rolling Weeks. See her post How to Use Rolling Weeks in your Bullet Journal.

Tale's design fits a rolling week column into the daily spread. An alternative approach would be to include the rolling week as a row instead. Gothamhous has a good example of this layout on Instagram. While it isn't originally designed for a rolling week feature, it could easily be adapted for this purpose.

Bookmarks as Bullet Journal Hack

Some of the free printables offered here at Universal Journal can be combined to suit different needs. Let's look at combining the calendar with the Notemarks  (the note bookmarks) printable.

For those who want floating notes that you can use on a monthly basis, this combo makes a quick way to create this sort of tool for yourself.

Next, since most people would use a thin book mark the notemark page will need to be folded. First, fold in half by the long edge. Fold the notemark again lengthwise. Alternatively you could cut the notemark page in half along the first fold, then fold the half page in half once more. You can

Advice For Bullet Journal Newbies

So you're new to Bullet Journaling and don't quite know what to do. It's a bit intimidating, I know. And there is so much that can be done. So many ideas. As with many things, especially new things, expectations can change everything. Does it have to be artistic? No you don't have to do things in an artistic way. The artful spreads that take hours to produce can be a pleasure to behold, sure, but if you don't want to take the time (or don't have that kind of time) to do that you don't have to. Short and sweet is the ultra-streamlined way. The page/spread layout should work for you rather than you working for the layouts. Design should serve its purpose in the bullet journal and for me that purpose leans very heavily toward function. Form is good but I don't want keeping up with the journal to slow me down. Do I have to record everything? Why would you do that to yourself? If you need to track something, a tracker might be the thing for you. If you need t

DIY Phone Case/Pocket

I found this short video on a DIY paper phone case. It's sturdy enough to hold something as heavy as a smart phone (or multiple writing implements) but also light enough to include as part of your everyday journal carry. This origami item could be modified to suit any number of things. Want to try some Origami?
