2. Learning outcome
• Adapt the Bullet journal method for planning and reflection

3. Rapid logging
Rapid Logging is the
language in which the
Bullet Journal is
written. In short, it’s
a way of capturing
information as
bulleted lists.

4. Productivity Mindfulness
Intentionality
Goals and not let your life as current
Where are we doing right now?
Where do we go and direction?
How do we deal with the
digital current and work?

5. Bullet
If Rapid Logging is language the
BuJo is written in, Bullets are the
syntax. Bullets are short-form
sentences paired with symbols that
visually categorize your entries into:
Tasks, Events, or Notes. Let's break
it down...

6. Tasks
Tasks are represented by a simple dot
“•”. We use a dot instead of a
checkbox because it's fast, clean, and
can easily be transformed to reflect
the state of the Task. Tasks can
have one of five states:

7. Event
Events are represented by the open
circle “O” Bullet. Events are date-
related entries that can either be
scheduled (e.g. “Charlie’s birthday”) or
logged after they occur (e.g. “signed
the lease”).

8. Notes
Notes are represented with a dash
“–”. Notes include: facts, ideas,
thoughts, and observations. They're
used to capture information or data
you don't want to forget. This Bullet
works well for meeting, lecture, or
classroom notes.

9. Mix & Match
Tasks, Events, and Notes will help
you quickly capture your thoughts as
they bubble up throughout the day.
Don't worry about logging them in
any particular order. The important
thing is to get them out of your
head, and onto the page.

10. Signifiers
* = Priority: Used to mark the most
important things on your list. Use it
sparingly. If everything is a priority,
nothing is.
! = Inspiration: Great ideas, personal
mantras, and genius insights will
never be misplaced again!

12. Putting it together
• Topic clarifies the purpose of the
page and nature of its contents. In
this example, it's simply the day's
date.
• Page numbers will serve to locate
your content.
• Daily Log. It's the workhorse of the
Bullet Journal, and one of the
four main Collections.

13. Key components
• Index
• Future log
• Monthly log
• Daily log
• Collections

14. The Index
• The Index lives at the front of
your notebook.
• Simply add the Topics of your
Collections and their page
numbers to the Index

15. The Future Log
• This Collection is used to store dated
entries that will occur outside the
current month. Provided is a simple
six month template.
• The Future Log serves as your time
machine, allowing you to glimpse the
outlines of the future you're actively
working towards.

16. Monthly Log
• This Collection is used to store dated
entries that will occur outside the
current month. Provided is a simple
six month template.
• The Future Log serves as your time
machine, allowing you to glimpse the
outlines of the future you're actively
working towards.

17. Daily Log
• The Calendar Page is designed to provide
a birdseye view of the month. You can use
it to schedule Events and Tasks, record
Events after they happen, or both.
• The Task page is designed to help you take
a monthly mental inventory: What are the
priorities for the month? What remains
undone from last month? What matters
now? Get it off your mind, and list it
here.

19. Exercise : Intentionality
The road not taken
The path that every one takes
- No risk, familiar, easy, no investment
The path that less people walk
- New, unfamiliar, challenge, investment
- Think about the end of this path in term of personality and work. What is the result of this?

20. Exercise : Intentionality
Using 5 mins to write the mourning word for your death for each path.
Then build 2 types of collections and place on the Index page.
Please think carefully and be true for yourself.

21. Exercise : Intentionality
Read your mourning word and write a letter to yourself. Try to transfer
your emotion, feeling and question both good and bad during this practice.
