The methods and tools of personal organization, list of tasks, agenda or other swarm, especially since everyone has in his pocket a smartphone capable of providing applications that offer such services. And these times, we hear very often about the "Bullet Journal", or marites for the initiates, which seems to be the trend of the moment. But what is a Bullet Journal?
When you search the web for information on the marites, you can easily find presentations like:
This is certainly a real "Bullet Journal" but, for some beginners, can a little cool because of the "creative" side presented in this kind of tutorials. This approach to implementation of the bullet journal method, at the very "girly" side, is a real method to develop its marites, but is a customization not necessarily drawn from the original bullet log method. For his web searches, we will use rather "minimal journal Bullet" If we want a description that approaches more than the method "brute". A presentation of the 10-point method:
1.-The Bullet Journal according to the author of the method
A video of presentation put online by the author of the method, which presents a minimalist approach to the video above: she can reassure those to whom the "creative" approach has frightened:
2.-a reference book
[amazon_link asins=’2863744860′ template=’ProductAd’ store=’jvhgdjz-21′ marketplace=’FR’ link_id=’04b9d98c-382c-4795-9093-76a5e0ca4e1b’] Ryder Carrol, the creator of the method, has published a heavy pavement of almost 400 pages: "The Bullet Journal method: Understanding the past-organizing the present-defining the Future", recently translated into French.
It contains the basics of the method, explained in detail, but it is also a lot of tips for decluttering the mind.
In summary, the book addresses "Why Bujoter", then "how Bujoter".
3.-not just a list of tasks
A Bullet journal is oriented to three axes: a task list, a logbook, and a calendar. It is a modular concept, which can also serve as a book of drawing, of formalisation and follow-up of objectives, of various follow-ups ("trackers"), of "gratitude" (daily recognition of the pleasures of life).
Everyone can personalize a Bullet log at its convenience, with the elements that correspond to it. The structure of a newspaper also evolves over time.
4.-Personal Development
A relatively small point in the "mediaization" of the Bullet Journal: The method also includes a "personal development" approach by accompanying us in our desires, our projects, our usual changes, our progress towards our goals.
The reference book mentioned above addresses this point in more detail than is generally found on web tutorials.
5.0-An analog approach
This is not obvious at first glance, but a bullet journal is to be held in a purely analog way: on a notebook, with a pen. Some have translated the concept with online and digital tools, but it is no longer a bullet journal: writing or copying tasks on a daily basis is a mandatory base of the method.
As the author writes, a Bullet journal is "a method of the analog era conceived for the digital age", in order to combat the "lack of self-awareness".
6.-Originally created to compensate for a pathology
Suffering from a deficit of attention since childhood, the creator of the Bullet Journal Ryder Carroll has long had a hard time finding a system to help him organize and find himself among the multitudes of notebooks, post-it and flying leaves cumbersome his office Like his mind.
Little adept of pre-filled classical diaries, too rigid to his liking, he then had the idea of assembling all his scattered notes in a single notebook with an index, in order to reference as and when the contents of his notes and to find them in a single stroke of OE It through paging.
It was on this basis, after finding that others found themselves in his methods, that he decided to create the method Bullet Journal, which met with enormous success.
7.-A blank notebook and a pen are enough
[amazon_link asins=’B016WKV8UC’ template=’ProductAd’ store=’jvhgdjz-21′ marketplace=’FR’ link_id=’fc32c06c-8926-4a7f-b913-eb464f6ca5e1′]It has been seen above: A minimal journal bullet requires no particular material other than a pen and a notebook. The author recommends The notebook opposite, which has the advantage of being pre-filled with the symbols "Bullet Journal", but any notebook can suffice.
The pens that are rated in the bujoteurs are for example the Faber-Castell PITT artist Pen. But here too, there are dozens of articles on the web that give their opinion on this subject.
8.-Migration, Key concept
Content migration is a cornerstone of the Bullet Journal. This is also the reason why a marites must have an "analog" form:
Once you've reached your second month of logging, take a look at your previous entries. Do you see any unresolved tasks? Evaluate whether the remaining open tasks are still relevant.
If a task has become irrelevant, scratch the entire line. If the task still needs your attention, make it migrate by turning the "-" to ">". This means that you have migrated this task and then added it to the task page of your new monthly journal or to a collection.
Migrating an unfulfilled task is a key point of the method and automatically involves a reflection on the evolution of the priority and the relevance of a task over time.
9.-A huge community
A search for "Bullet Journal" on the web will convince you that the online community that talks about Marites is huge: Blogs, videos, Pinterest and other are an inexhaustible source of inspiration and information, in French as well.
However, take care to sort out: Some implementations move away from the original method, even if it's pretty and creative.
10.-The official website
The official site maintained by the creator of the method will provide you, in English only, a multitude of video tutorials and useful links.
In conclusion, holding a Bullet log can be done with an infinity of formats, method and material. The advice of Quelbazar is to have a complete vision of the original method before embarking headlong into the creation of its marites: this will avoid you perhaps some disappointments about the result and the actual usefulness of this type of method.
