Organization Methods

When it comes to bullet journaling, organization is key. Whether it be your finances, your weekly schedule, or your job assignments, your journal can serve as your main hub for organization. Here’s how to get started!

Creating an index for your journal is the best way to make sure that you know exactly how to find what you’re looking for. Use that first page in a fresh new journal to set up your index – and you can add as you go!

One of the best ways to keep your content organized is to use weekly and monthly spreads. This way, you can visualize your schedule for days to come, and you know exactly what to expect. Typically, it is best to begin each new month with a spread that mimics a calendar, but you can really personalize it to fit your needs! Some journalers love to create themed calendars, like a heart theme for February, or a Halloween theme for October, and you can carry this on throughout your pages for the rest of that month. If you so desire, you can also create a weekly calendar for each month so that you can really break down all of your responsibilities, but it really is up to you – you know yourself better than anyone!

Habit trackers are another excellent way to keep organized when you journal, whether it be for tracking your sleep schedule or for tracking your workouts. Not only can they help you track your progress or new habits, but they can also help to break you out of old, unhealthy habits. Like most things about bullet journaling, habit trackers are totally customizable, but it always helps to have some inspiration! They can be done in the form of pixels, little doodles, or even just a standard calendar that you mark off. However you do it, journaling your habits is a great way to achieve success.
