(*Attention Deficit…ohhhh, something shiny)
It started with a simple mention in a blog post. My writer friend Ellie Mack casually mentioned that she’d started using a Bullet Journal. Her description of it piqued my interest. You see, I am a sucker for a planning system. I was a Franklin Covey addict for many a year, spending upwards of $80 plus dollars to get the latest cover and fun calendar inserts. I’d eagerly start each new year with the intent of being most productive; my planner would guide me to getting all my to-do’s, to done. I’d never forget another birthday, meeting, or important event. Of course, I’d have to buy pens with which to color code my entries. Oh, the joy.
It had been quite a while since I’d used a planner longer than a few months at a time. So when I heard Ellie talk the pros of her Bullet Journal I thought it might be a system I could finally keep up with. Didn’t hurt that I watched Ryder Carol’s video. That was the first “something shiny” that got me started.
I wanted to start immediately so I grabbed the one of the many notebooks I had lying around and got to BuJo-ing.
I followed the video closely and laid out my pages as instructed. It was all very neat and tidy. Until..

Uh-oh…I’m anxious to find out what happened with it!
(I, too, love a good planner! I finally have a great system for my blogging, which is probably why everyone is now seeing 2+ posts a day. I’m actually busier than ever at home and work, but still getting to the blog. Yay, organization!)
🙂 I’m not going to say I’m any better organized, lol, but I am at least feeling more productive. I’m getting more of what I say I need to do, done.
If nothing else, that has to be a good start, right?
I love bullet journals! Unfortunately, I have three of them laying around and I never remember which one is for what things…
So nice to know Im not the only one. Be sure to check out part 3 😉
