What is Bullet Journal:

Bullet journaling is a method of organizing your thoughts that was created by Ryder Carroll. Some people assume that a bullet journal is a place to doodle in random ways that don't seem to make much sense. However, Carroll insists that there is a distinct methodology that he's developed over the last several years.

The tradition bullet journal is comprised of five main elements below:

• Index - like a table of content:

  With Notion, we don’t have to create the index manually. The sidebar on Notion can replace the index for navigation.

• Logs - help you identify what you need to accomplish on different levels and track the progress over time.

  As what Ryder Carroll recommends, we have a future log, monthly log, daily log, plus weekly log in this template.

• Collections - are a way of consolidating related topics.

  The habit tracker is included in this bullet journal template, please feel free to add more collections like reading list, travel plans, etc. **You can find many free resources from Notion’s Templates in the sidebar.

• Migration - moving uncompleted tasks into current or future logs so that the tasks remain visible.

  This Notion template is well designed for migration with synced blocks across logs - simply follow the guideline below then you will never miss any tasks or lose track.

• Rapid logging - a quick and easy way to record anything by using bullets, signifiers, short sentences, abbreviations, when possible. These are open to users to design their own rules. Below are some key bullets implemented in this template:

  Bullets in this template:

  • Task Bullet:
    • [ ] Task to be completed
    • [x] Completed - Once you’ve completed a Task, tick the box.
    • [ ] Migrated - strikethrough the task, if you have rescheduled the uncompleted tasks to the current or future log.
  • Event Bullet - has been replaced with the Calendar/Events section with Calendar database in Notion.
  • Note Bullet - you will find the note blocks in weekly and daily logs.

You can also find bunch of YouTube videos and readings online introducing bullet journal. Below are some of the articles I quoted from:
