Bullet Journal Community Opportunity

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

bullet journal community feature share

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 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...
