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.

Bullet Journal for the Hard Working Educator

NOTE: the original page linked to from this post disappeared so I've relinked it to the wayback machine at archive.org. Some of you bullet journalers are teachers. That's a lot on your plate. We home school at our house. I help out when the children are struggling with certain things, but mostly my lovely wife handles the curriculum. She's got a ton of stuff to manage. I'm trying to pique her interest in the Bullet Journal method and I think building an amazing example of a teacher's bullet journal may do the trick. So I've been looking for bullet journal ideas related to schooling. For example, on her blog, Jessica Chung has a post describing 16 layouts for educators . Check out this Class Semester for Teachers inspired by Jessica's post. Jessica includes goals, a monthly/weekly outlook, a semester chart, course overview, assignment map, and much more in her journal. She also provides several photos with the explanations. There are some minor...

DIY Add a paper pocket to your journal

Got a plain old notebook? There are plenty of options out there and you may not find one with all the features you like. But journalers are already familiar with customizing their journals and we tend to like that. Here's a super easy DIY option for a pocket. Not everyone needs a pocket in their journal. If you want a pocket but don't have one, here is a very simple method using one Legal or A4 size sheet of paper and double-sided tape. (Affiliate links included.) The Universal Journals are printed by Lulu.com Any print on demand service will be limited compared to a traditional printer. As capable as Lulu.com is (with quick turn around, worldwide availability, lots of product options for customers, and more), there are lots of things journalers might want in their Universal Journal that Lulu just can't do. At least not at this time. But this also makes for ideal customization. Make it your own. Got any other ideas for adding a pocket to a book? Comment h...

Ultra-Streamlined Style Part 1

This first installment on the ultra-streamlined style will focus on the monthly module. It can be set up and filled in 10 minutes, focusing on a minimalist variation of the standard monthly module. (see the updated set up in this Plan with me video ) This technique features: one-time writing of the days of week and month extra space for expanded descriptions calendar items habit tracker standard monthly task list Style Set Up One of the ways of reducing set up time for your bullet journal is to avoid unnecessary rewriting. In this case, a habit tracker is included in the monthly set up, rather than creating a tracker separately. Habit trackers typically require setting up the days of the month and/or week separately from the normal monthly calendar - duplicated effort. Here is a summary of the ultra-streamlined monthly module and a visual example. weekly/monthly dates on the right side of the left page dashed lines separating weeks calendar on the left...
