Being organized is one of our\u00a0most overused resolutions but have we really arranged all those events and commitments that keep coming up every day? We\u00a0have here two popular ways of\u00a0organizing your activities and tasks that\u00a0could work well for your needs. One is\u00a0filling in the blanks\u00a0of a pre-formatted planner<\/strong> and another is creating your own design and layout on a blank notebook through bullet journaling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Planner<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the\u00a080’s of shoulder pads and jumpsuits, Filofax or personal planners aided many businessmen\u00a0in organizing their schedule. Even today, there is\u00a0a clamor for planners\u00a0that offer pages of\u00a0blank layout appointment\u00a0calendars,\u00a0task lists, and worksheets. These ready-made and designed planners could be ideal for those looking for consistency.<\/p>\n

With the planner, one could easily flip forward to a date\u00a0to schedule a future task or event. People have long used planners to organize their day-to-day activities and tasks. Today, most people make use of one form of digital planner accessible on smartphones and computers. These digital planners, however, have generic designs that will turn away those looking for a more flexible planner suited to their ever-changing needs.<\/p>\n

Bullet Journal<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One solution to the generic planner is the bullet journal. It combines two often-used ways of organizing one’s thoughts: a journal, which invokes a diary-like listing of thoughts and reflections; and bullets, which pertains to simplifying tasks into bullet points and checklists. As one, the bullet journal is a more creative yet organized way of designing your own\u00a0day-to-day spread on a plain blank notebook.<\/p>\n

Designing your own bullet journal makes it flexible and a perfect fit to your taste. The length of one day could be shorter or longer than the other depending on the tasks on that day.<\/p>\n

Because the notebook used is blank, you can also choose what\u00a0other spreads to add. Some examples would be a habit and mood trackers, expenses and savings log, idea dumps and, goals\u00a0list.\u00a0There is no limit on what to write on a blank notebook: it could serve as a small diary to log thoughts, moods, doodles, and ideas to look back to and reflect on in one handy notebook.<\/p>\n

There are also other ways to\u00a0keep organized but these two are worth a try, especially if you are already using one option and are curious if the other could work for you. With a bullet journal, you can organize your thoughts in a manner of your own. If you are able to stick to a certain layout or system of tracking your schedule, then the planner is for you.<\/p>\n

You can even mix\u00a0both ways to create something uniquely\u00a0yours, as long as the end goal\u00a0stays the same: stay organized and be able to track your activities.<\/p>\n
