Jim, thanks for that.

Bullet Journal is an elegant system, and is well suited for the Leuchtterm1997 pocket notebook that’s always in, uh…my pocket. Nonetheless I’ve not yet tried it, believing, perhaps wrongly, that it is too restricting.

One change I’ve made in my overall task (mis)management is keeping all of my daily plans - no matter how complex - at the back of my notebook, so it’s all still with me, but not getting lost in the notes I’m taking on the run.

I’ve started to use the pocket notebook with graph pages, so to give myself greater line length with 1 task to a line I turn the notebook to a horizontal, or landscape, orientation. Works nicely.

I may still look at Bullet Journal to see what I can borrow or adapt.

During the last 15 months I have become very attached to my Nexus7 - and though it’s often in my backpack, as my laptop may also be, my love and fascination with paper, pens and inks that stain the figures is as strong as ever. Some research suggests writing longhand uses different brain circuitry than key boarding. We’re fortunate to have both to stimulate our brains.

Intentional note taking as a way of life, apart from note taking for work, is one way to explore the world and one’s self. Anything which contributes to that process, such as the Bullet Journal, is worthwhile.
