What’s a Bullet Journal?My first step into it…??

BuJo is a modular framework. Each module, or Collection, serves to organize related information. You can mix and match, customize, or even create Collections to best suit your needs. Let’s take a look at the four core Collections: 
The Index, Future Log, Monthly Log, and the Daily Log.

My story with the Bujo

I’ve discovered it just one month and a half ago and now I’m absolutely in love with it! In the beginning, I was very skeptical about the real usefulness of this method, especially because of creativity and manual skills that you need to realize it. I thought that the preparation and the drawings would take too much time for realization and it would be a waste of time, and my aim ( as everybody, of course) was to organize and save time not spend it too much. I read some articles on the web about this topic to understand the rules and how to  fix the bullet journal but everything seems to me too much complicated, but I felt a deeply interesting and fascination about the argument and I started following just the most important rule of Bullet Journal’s creator Ryder Carroll: make your bujo as you want it to be.

So you can use the modules that you want and nothing is necessary. The intention is to be more organized than before and to do only the things that really matter to do, avoid the rest. 

How many times you waste time doing useless things or worse just think to do but stand still?

Can you feel the sense of frustration of that moment?

This was my problem for a long time. A lot of stuff that I wanted to do but more difficulties to stay focused on them. Writing monthly, weekly and daily logs help me to stay focused and check off the list what it’s done, at the end of the day, it’s very satisfying!

After the first days, my desire to express myself gained courage and I start to write some “lettering experiments” and some drawings. But the main objective remains the same: 

There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.

-Peter Drucker
