I definitely still use my phone calendar as I need the little pop up reminders these days but the bullet journal has my daily to-do's and brain storming and lists and whatever else I need. Love the flexibility of it.

I guess I could say that the book journal I'm keeping this year is a bullet journal of sorts, but with more writing than drawing. (I can take some photos and share them to the LoveCats FB page when I'm not being so lazy if others are interested)<br />For my day to day planning the only way that a bullet journal would work is if it was unbound and in a ring type planner (aka Kikki-K or Filofax type planner) so that I could rearrange like things with like things. From what I've seen of bullet journals on YouTube the way that people just use the next available page for the thing that are doing eg page 1 key, page 2 month layout, page 3 day, page 4 day, page 5 brainstorm, page 6 day etc just unsettles something in me.Lyn Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-8272441274094182192017-02-04T09:53:31.506+11:002017-02-04T09:53:31.506+11:00I love stationary.
