Today I discovered bullet journaling

First reaction: (doubleshots on the rigid digit to all the Millennials who think they invented creative analog organization)

Second reaction: have these kids never met Franklin Covey? (The guys who monetized the hell out of creative analog organization)

Third reaction: (realizes that, for the price of a blank book and some elbow grease, can out-flexible Franklin Covey six ways from Sunday & recalls that everything Millennials say or do must be analyzed through the lens of they have no money.)

So now I'm setting up a bullet journal for 2017. Pinterest ate my life today with ideas of things to track.

At very, very basic level. I described it to my mom as "DIY Franklin Covey," because corporate America put both of us through that meat grinder. The monthly and daily spreads feature a date list to the left with, yes! Bullet points! And a blank page to the right for notes or the soapy details of your day.

Two vids that helped me:

First from the creator of this incarnation of analog organization:


Second is from one of the very few people who didn't appear to be producing an illuminated manuscript:


Now, should you be artistically inclined, the illuminated manuscript route may float your boat. If that's the case, just search "bullet journal" and watch the eyepopping art pour forth.
