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.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

I started using a bullet journal when I started my new job. As it functions as planner, to-do list, and place to take and keep notes, I have it open pretty much constantly at work. Given the deluge of details to track, I firmly believe that without it, I would let considerably more things slip through the cracks. I happily use both printable monthly calendars plus my own hand-written "weekly view". Given how tough it has been to find the right wall calendar for everyone to use there, I am not sorry I did not buy a planner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At work I just keep a running to-do list in my notebook, and re-write it every so often. Which I guess is not unlike the bullet journal way, but I am intimidated by all the artsy pinterest ones. My running list is everything from deadlines to make X call or follow up on Y, to figure out Z. Those ones get carried over from week to week quite a bit.

Mine is not artsy in the least. No one who is not me needs to see it, believe me.

Zero artsy about mine either. To look at, it isn't pretty. But it gets the job done.

I am overwhelmed with helplessness. Things seem so completely unbalanced.

I'm sorry, msbelle. Something specific or just in general? Not that I have any solutions for either, but I can tailor my sympathy, maybe.

It's been so overcast at the end of the day for so long that I hadn't realized how long the days are getting. There's significant visible light on the Western horizon now. It's amazing how fast the light comes back.
