Bullet Journal Community Opportunity

Do you want a chance to guest post your bullet journal experience? Elizabeth at Jihi Elephant is offering an opportunity!

Elizabeth has started a new Feature project where she offers her blog as a platform for you to reach out to the bullet journaling community. She asks for a short biography of each participant, a description of your bullet journey, and some advice you might offer those new to the bullet journal system. She'll accept up to 9 photos of your journal as well.

July's post on the Feature project shows two very different approaches to the bullet journal system. Elizabeth features BulletLeea and yours truly (the Universal Journal). BulletLeea took full advantage of this project, even sending in 9 photos. I sent in 4 but offered my two cents on my minimalist approach.

Elizabeth's Feature project is a great idea for encouraging journalers to interact with the broader community. It's common for folks in this realm to offer our own content but neglect interacting with others.

At the end of the post Elizabeth includes a link to the submission form if you want to contribute your input as well.

I like Elizabeth's idea here. What do you think of it? Comment here and be sure to subscribe!

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 2

Continuing with the Monthly Module set up from the previous post, which focused mainly on the left page of the monthly spread , let's tackle the habit tracker on the right page. Style Basics A quick recap of the principles of the Ultra-Streamlined Style: avoid using unnecessary tools (extra tools require extra time to use) avoid drawing lines when space can be used instead write no more than necessary (purely functional use) If you need a full page or even full spread for your habit tracker, this approach isn't for you. For those who could benefit from a smaller habit tracker, this technique combines the monthly module with the tracker to avoid redundancy where possible. Setting up the tracker In keeping with the recommended monthly module as described at BulletJournal.com , which includes a tasks list, this Ultra-Streamlined Style makes room for a habit tracker on the task list page (the right page of the monthly spread). In this technique, the right pa...
