Great question! I heard of it too! It’s a very interesting system. These are the basics:

Bullets are short-form sentences paired with symbols that visually categorize your entries into: Tasks, Events, or Notes.

Signifiers are symbols that give your entries additional context at a glance.

‘*’ = Priority
‘!’ = Inspiration

I feel the same way…I tried a bullet journal before and I found myself wasting more time making it look pretty than I did accomplishing my actual list. LOL!

I have a friend who has one and she has stickers, and artwork…and every color marker…I wonder if she actually gets ANYTHING accomplished besides her Bullet Journal. LOL!

LOL that’s right!

But I think I like the idea of bullet journaling because you can look back after some time and have great memories. I mean, it’s not just for chores but for life events and things that are happening, without having to keep an actual diary.
