Organize your life, record what matters, and get stuff done!
What the heck is a dot journal? It’s a planner, to-do list, anddiary for every aspect of your life: work, home, relationships, hobbies, everything.
Early adopter Rachel Wilkerson Miller explains how to make a dot journal work for you—whether you find the picture-perfect examples on Pinterest inspiring or, well, intimidating. You decide how simple or elaborate your journal will be, and what goes in there:
- Lists of your to-dos, to-don’ts, and more
- Symbols that will make those lists efficient and effective
- Spreads to plan your day, week, month, or year
- Trackers for your habits and goals (think health, money, travel)
- Accoutrements such as washi tape, book darts, and more!
MY REVIEW
I love to use my planner. It helps me stay organized and helps me not to forget appointments, goals I want to accomplish as well as make sure I stay on track for keeping my household organized. I try to write in it at least twice a week. I was excited to read Dot Journaling because I've been interested in using a bullet journal and I've seen so many cool ways you can use them.
From to do lists to keeping track of all your favorite Netflix shows, you can do so much with a bullet journal. The book is filled with ideas on how to organize the things that are important to you. I've found so many different other lists I can use to fill my journal with.
There are so many different ways you can use dot journaling (bullet journaling). If you're just starting, looking ideas up online can be a bit overwhelming. There's just so many unique ideas out there and people are so creative on how they use it. I love how all the information you need to start is in one book and how this book was easy to follow and gave you simple ideas to start with. Not only were you given loads of ideas to fill your journal with, but I love how there was quotes and facts about famous journals from the past and how the author shares a recommended list of supplies for those just beginning.
A great book to read if you are a planner or someone who wants to start planning, you won't be disappointed. We're excited to be offering one copy to one of our readers. Just comment below your favorite way to use your planner/bullet journal.
