I've mentioned before how I found the simple tutorial for bullet journaling, a straight-forward way to organize your thought, to-do lists, notes, or ramblings on paper.
Having a couple of months to try my hand at different schedule layouts, research other planners I like, and troubleshoot long-term planning spreads and to-do lists, here's what I've come up with:
The Index Page is as Index Pages are: direct, listy, and numerical.
My pièce de résistance is the weekly schedule. I borrowed heavily from the Passion Planner and would buy that if I didn't love the Moleskine kraft paper large cahier squared journals. After trying a few other layouts, I dig the amount of space I have for daily to-do lists (I can't, unreasonably, put 20 items on one day, even though I have tried and felt bad about it), plus having the shopping list, meal plan, housekeeping, goals, and happy thoughts all on one spread is MY JAM.
I also like the long-term planning pages, where I have 12 months of space to block out big events.
There's space for super-important running plans, group class ideas, business plans, and plain ol' empty pages for jotting down goodness.
Lastly, I put all the monthly to-do lists consecutively, since it'll be easier to transfer and I don't check on those big ones all that often. (Note: I took this pictures at the beginning of April; there ARE checked off items on this list.)
What's your preferred form of schedule/list-keeping? iPhone? Have any favorite apps? Paper? Do you use a Filofax? Or do you just use your mind palace?
