The utility of folding the page (I also do this in A5 and A4 notebooks) in half to start the month in the note book only really becomes apparent with time.Īs the year goes on you’ll end up with clear psychical delineation where months sit in side your notebook. Its also a perfect place for a habit tracker. Inside the folded page I write work related things like time tracking for bill clients. Sometimes I write a Mini Index for the month on this half page too. I hope to get it out mid Feb! General NotebookĪt the beginning of every month I always write in the calendar and then fold the page in half. I have 6 things I’d like to pour time and energy into this year. I like to leave a little room for projects at the front of my notebook. Since taking the photos already have 2 weddings in on these pages! Future Log + Projects Leaving room things that are happening next year.

Its the same layout as the Year planner but without the days/dates detail. Future Log + ProjectsĪbove and below you can see that after the Month Logs, I have my 2021 Future Log. Using this as your only diary might be ok if you aren’t very busy. I know a lot of BuJo fans like everything offline, but I have a hybrid approach with a detailed GCal.

I really only use this section as a partial diary. (see the video) This means the first full/non-folded page in the Month Log section will always be the current one. Once the month is finished/over I will fold the page in half and forget about it. I have a space at the bottom of each page for notes or other things that need documenting, either things that have/will happened that month, Hotel addresses, flight numbers etc. I also have peoples Birthdays/Death Dates written in but they take up a lot of room/space but I think they are important. Up the top is the repeated month details on the left and the Month name on the top right.ĭays of the week and Dates go down the middle of the page, leaving room for Morning and Afternoon activities either side. With space being at a premium, my Month Log has to be minimal. Go get yourself a glass right now, I’ll wait… Goals + Month Log Though I do tend to favour OKR (objective and key result) style life goals than vague ‘Drink More Water’ – though defiantly you should. Select ‘make a copy’ from the file menu Goals & Month Log 📓 Minimalist Moleskine Pocket Bullet Journal 📓 When I see people in mid June or July without their contact details written in, my palms begin to itch. I always make sure I fill in my contact details. This is my Minimalist A6 Moleskine Pocket Bullet Journal 2020 set up. But for the daily driver: the always about my person, in the back pocket, life organisation, notes over coffee or week planing has to be A6 for me. (This is mainly because I have the rule: ‘If you don’t see me write it down it doesn’t exist’. Even pound-shop is fine as I burn though so many in a year.

They never leave the building and always sit on my desk. I tend to favour A4 notebooks when I am at work in an office. You can see a picture of some on them on in this blog post about how I like lists. I use A5 notebooks for specific projects so the project stays self contained. I have more notebooks going back passed 2013 to university but they are boxed up right now. The three pack Cahier journals, the 2 pack Volants, flip up reporters notebooks, hard cover, soft cover, starwars editions. I always make the decision and then stick with the chosen type for a whole year a proper road test. I’ve tried a lot of the A6 Moleskine Pocket Journals over the years.
