Brainbook: Bullet Journaling Your Way to a More Organized Life

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure policy here.

I don’t know about you, but I cannot live without a paper planner.

Between running a full-time online business, volunteering at two non-profits, and managing a home, I need a simple yet powerful system to stay on top of it ALL.

I’m guessing you’ve got a million and one things to keep up with too.

Maybe you’ve tried paper planners in the past, and they just haven’t lived up to what you hoped. Or you’re nearing the end of your current planner and you’re ready to try something new for 2018.

The only problem?

Finding one planner that perfectly fits your lifestyle, schedule, and personality can feel like an overwhelming nightmare.

After all, you can easily encounter option overload, when trying to decide between…

• The Day Designer
• The Happy Planner
• The Living Well Planner
• The Simplified Planner
• The Erin Condren Life Planner
• The LiveWELL planner
• The Intentional Life Planner

…and dozens more ranging from $12 all the way to $59.

The truth is—no “one-size-fits-all” planner exists capable of managing and organizing every area of your life!

You just won’t find the customization you need, because every planning system is designed by someone else with their unique view of a typical day.

Which is why bullet journaling trumps every planner on the market.

What is bullet journaling?

In case you’re not familiar with bullet journaling, this method is a simple calendar and task management system personalized to your exact needs, because YOU get to decide what to include.

But here’s what’s so magical about the system—inside this ONE notebook, you can:

• Plan your months, weeks, and days, much like a paper planner
• Take notes and keep track of lists
• Journal your thoughts, keeping a sort of memory log alongside your daily tasks

And it’s super cheap. All you need is a blank notebook and a pen, and you can start bullet journaling right away!

Bullet journaling is more than “just” a planner

The ability to plan and track anything and everything isn’t just convenient.

It’s life-changing.

In my own journal, I’ve seen just how powerful a personalized planning system can be.

• By tracking my daily habits, I’m making my bed, working out, and eating fruits and veggies WAY more than I used to!
• By keeping tabs on the way my diet and activity affect my mood, I’m motivated to eat healthier and get off the couch.
• By maintaining wish lists, gift lists, clothing lists, and packing lists, I’m sure to never forget another brilliant idea ever again.

Bullet journaling serves as your very own personal assistant to keep you more productive, organized, and on top of your most important tasks, while doubling as a creative outlet. I love the way my journal provides ample space to experiment. The colors and lettering inspire me to use my journal even more!

How to get started

Tons of places online will try to teach you this method, but after experimenting on my own over the past year and a half, I’ve realized there is no simple, step-by-step guide that will teach you everything you need to know in one place.

So I created it.

It’s called, Brainbook: Bullet Journaling Your Way to A More Organized Life, and this incredibly comprehensive resource is available right now.

If you’re curious about the title, Brainbook is what I call my own journal. It is literally my brain in book form, because it holds everything I need to manage and organize my entire life. I would be totally lost without it!

With gentle instruction, encouragement, and down-to-earth advice, Brainbook will cover, in detail, exactly what steps you need to take to set up a personalized bullet journaling system that helps you stay on top of your responsibilities.

Now you can turn any blank notebook into a powerful planning tool that corrals your calendar, to-do lists, notes, ideas, and long-term goals in one organized place!

You’ll discover:

• How to eliminate “blank page fear” and set up your journal for success from the very beginning {also includes a set-up checklist}
• Which notebooks and other supplies are best for your needs
• The key to maintain a journal without it sucking all of your time
• Advanced tips and tricks to take your journal to the next level
• Five pivotal success secrets to keep your journal top of mind so it can support everything you do
• What to do when your journal isn’t working quite right for you

Most of all, you’ll learn how to set up a personalized planning system that simplifies your life, helps you manage all your day-to-day responsibilities in addition to your long-term goals, and supports your own personal growth journey, so you can be the wife, mom, friend, daughter, and person you’ve always wanted to be.

In other words, you’ll finally achieve balance.
