Bullet Journal for Work: Get More Productive – Quick

Maybe you’re familiar with bullet journaling, maybe not, but either way, you’ve heard that it can be absolute magic for increasing your productivity and getting yourself organized. Of course, you’d want to apply that to your work life! But when it’s come to starting a bullet journal for work where do we begin? By reading this post of course!

The Secrets To Starting A Minimalist Bullet Journal

If you’ve been looking into how to start a bullet journal then you’ve probably seen all the intricate, beautiful, complex setups and spreads. I remember feeling super intimidated by that. But starting a minimalist bullet journal is completely possible!

Focus on your Goals and Plan Your Week

Weekly planning in your bullet journal is, in my opinion, the most fun part. It’s where you can take a ton of creative liberties, test out new layouts and spread ideas, or you can keep it as simple as possible if you’re in a hurry.

Bullet Journal Collections: Where Anything Goes

There are only really 4 types of basic bullet journal collections according to Ryder Carrol, the creator of the system. A collection is an umbrella underneath which you organize a specific type of information.

That means that its a place to write down anything and everything you want. All the stuff that you would “normally” have in a planner as well as all the thing you wanted to have but would never before fit.

Track What’s Important with a Habit Tracker

The aspect of bullet journaling that I like the most is the fact that you can customize it to fit your needs exactly. Because of this, everyone’s bullet journal can (and should be) unique and different. One of the main sources of variation is the habit trackers that you choose to use.

The Bullet Journal Future Log: A Future Planning System

What is the bullet journal future log?

An incredibly important part of the bullet journal system is the future log. Unlike most other planners or agendas the bullet journal doesn’t have the whole year laid out right from the get go. This means that there needs to be somewhere to plan for the future without all the spreads already being there.

Luckily this is exactly what this is for! A space to put tasks, trips, events, deadlines, reminders and everything else you’ll need in the months ahead.
