It seems like everyone and their whole ‘Whole 30’ crew are bullet journaling. But to the uninitiated, the concept of the BuJo (kill me now) can be overwhelming. So I offer up to you, dear friends, a peek inside a page of my very own bullet journal…on a blog. (And yes, many people like to keep the list all jumbled together with different methods of annotating them, but I generally like to keep separate categories for my musings. I think you’ll agree it works exceptionally well.)
Let’s start bullet journaling with “ON MY BRAIN RIGHT NOW”
- (And let’s spend about 20 minutes doodling hearts to make it look, you know, Pinterest-y. At least Instagrammable for a smallish traction post. Let’s shoot for 20 ‘likes.’)
- I’m tired.
- That’s a terrible way to start a list.
- STOP JUDGING YOURSELF, KEELY.
- We haven’t done laundry in what seems like years.
- Then why do these kids still have overflowing closets of relatively clean clothing?
- Jerks.
- When Jasper goes to kindergarten I might lose my actual mind.
- Like, I might cry my brain out of my ears.
- I should go sing to him.
- WHY IS EVERYTHING IN THIS ROOM COVERED IN DIRT.
- (I don’t know if I’m bullet journaling this right.)
NEW HEADING: …Work?
- Oh my God, I have so much work.
- Baby article.
- Kid article.
- Mom article.
- Schedule social media posts.
- (…Don’t stay on Twitter, don’t stay on Twitter.)
- Craft awesome post for Tidyish on refurbishing alley finds.
- Craft throw-away post for Tidyish on Facebook about, like, literally nouns.
- (Check in later to see the Tidyish post has 30 page views.)
- (Check in later to see the throwaway FB post for Tidyish has 45k page views.)
- (Encourage latter to check out the former. A lot. Fail miserably.)
- (Legit give up.)
- (Is it wrong to rip out pages while bullet journaling?)
This is depressing: NEW HEADING! Okay, “to do soon, please!”
- I should meal plan for next week!
- I should pin 17 craft ideas for fairy cottages!
- We need a new front door!
- Let’s all eat nonstop kale!
- …Nora’s baby book is super duper not completed.
- …Nora is 8 and a half.
(HERE’S A DOODLE OF A NARWHAL.)
Hey look! Books I want to read!
- “Super philosophical title”
- “Suspiciously maudlin title”
- “The one everyone loves but which will make me irrationally angry, I can just tell”
- “Oh look, a book about food”
- “…the Nora Roberts novel I’ve already read four times this month, j/k, it’s actually five”
Dear Diary,
I’m sorry I strayed.
