Notemarks were created as a multi-purpose bookmark (check out that post here). They make a great addition for a bullet journal that doesn't have built-in ribbon bookmarks. Notemarks are meant to be printed double sided, and can be used as needed. Let's take a closer look at the possibilities.
If used uncut, the Notemark could be quad folded into one foldable bookmark. If cut in half, you'll have two Notemarks (good for the Monthly and Daily logs), like this:
I cut the Notemarks in half and fold each half. The exterior has one usable column and an artistic column (great place for a sticky note caddie), while the interior has two usable dotted columns.

How to use the Notemarks
- Book notes (such as highlights, keywords, or summaries for the book you are reading)
- Unusual schedules (do you have a twice a month or once every third week type of event or task?) See below for a detailed look at the weekly Notemark.
- Icon key (keep your journal's legend right where you are in your journal)
- Sticky note caddie
- Record monthly expenditures (if you don't need a permanent place in your journal)
Notemarks for unusual schedules
So you have garbage pick up once a week, every week, and it's still hard to remember. You have some once-a-month tasks to do. There's also that twice a month event or meeting. With a Notemark, you can keep up with all of that and more right from your daily logs.
I use a weekly Notemark for several tasks and events that may or may not always coincide each week. For each day, I have 3 columns:
I use a weekly Notemark for several tasks and events that may or may not always coincide each week. For each day, I have 3 columns:
- signifier (according to my icon set)
- frequency (the week of the month: 1, 2, 3, 4, combination, or ALL)
- item (brief label of the task or event)
For example, where I live there is a thing I try to attend at the public library every second Monday of the month. I have another thing two Sundays of the month. The garbage needs to be taken out every Tuesday. Each item is briefly noted in the Notemark. At night when I reflect and set up the next day's log, the weekly Notemark is there to remind me of anything that might regularly occur on that day as well as keeping my place in the journal.
On the Monthly Notemark I keep my first-of-the-month list of chores.
Sometimes schedules change. When that happens I just make a new Notemark with the updates. Notemarks are made available for free download here.
