I started bullet journaling a couple months ago, since I can't sync my work and non-work online stuff, and because I do sketchnoting, and because I remember stuff better if I write it down.

It's working well. Mine aren't super-pretty - they aren't going on Pinterest anytime soon, and I seem to have WAY more tasks than anyone else. But it's working as intended.

I got off practice of doing a very loose journal. To dos for work & home. Checks or Xs for staying on track for meals, water and spending. Mood tracker. That's all. No color coding or anything.

Thanks for the reminder I just got it out and made notes for today.

Hmm. OK. I can see places in my life where having a journal handy could be useful. On the other hand, I could see myself writing on three pages and then forgetting about it. I'll have to think about it. Thanks for the feedback!

Dilemma: I accidentally bought a six pack of single ply TP and didn't realize until I'd opened the package. Do I use it up but hate it, put it in the guest bath so they hate it, find a place that will take random open rolls of TP, other?

I would save it for emergencies, myself.

Like the one I'm about to be in: I have many free dollars to spend at CVS, so I really want to use them to buy TP, but I keep forgetting the coupons at home, along with my shopping bag, so I can't go after work. I am now on my last roll of TP!

Bullet Journal: the things I love best about it are also the things I have trouble making time to do (indexing and future logging), but even with my weak execution it's more helpful for me to have a half-assd bullet journal than nothing (and by nothing I mean digital calendars and reminders and to do lists which are excellent for telling me DO THIS NOW but more prone to drifting into error and run the very real risk of having too many alarms going off so that I just ignore them all)

I tend to have random rolls of toilet paper scattered around the house because when I have a cold I go through kleenex faster than I can buy it but I take care to never run out of TP.

I started a bullet journal a few months back and I love it. I typically spend some time with it each evening and a bit in the morning. I feel like it has helped me stay organized more than any of the apps I have.

I just have a bunch of half completed to do lists in a ton of different notebooks all over. And I have my work and personal calendars both on my phone. And try to put everything on there (like "dinner with friend", even if it's just a vague plan, so I don't schedule something else then)

Jesse, that's probably a good plan. Emergency use.

I find the bullet journal less useful for daily to-dos and more for longer-term reference. I've got a page to track 2017 bills, for example, and I need to set up one for prescriptions.

I just have a bunch of half completed to do lists in a ton of different notebooks all over.

My old system, which was not really bad, was to write out my daily to do list on scratch paper that I would just throw away, but the notebook makes the inevitable carryover and repetition easier to manage, and somehow drawing my own monthly calendar in the notebook works better for me than writing stuff down in a desk calendar -maybe because the desk calendar stays on the desk and gets buried by whatever I'm working on.
