Bullet Journal

Bullet Journal: Concept of paper journal... to an Online version?


After watching a concept called Bullet Journaling I wondered if it could be used as a way to track things on-line world instead of paper.

The concept requires an index that you can go to and put information into, and page numbers.  But would you really require a page index if you could use a permalink, like what I can use on this article.

So, if I have an Index article, and just go and edit it when I need to add or update, wouldn't I be able to use the same concept online?  And even easier, I could create a calendar to put the information into for the Future Log.  The Monthly Log will be the dates along with the letter (s,m,t,w,t,f,s) of the week.  The Monthly gives you a Birds Eye View of what you need to get don in that month and the Time you have to do it in.  Next you will have the Daily Log that give you tasks with short bullet-ed sentences.

. (dot) - Task Bullet
- Notes
0 Events

You can have an Asterisks (*) signifier  if task is important.  Extra meaning - Priority.

At the end of the month, you set up the next Monthly Log.  Go through the information and evaluate if it is still worth my time.  If not strike it out.   Otherwise, use a Right Arrow (>) to copy to the next Monthly Log if it should be done next month, or Left Arrow (<) to indicate that it is due after next month, and copy to the corresponding entry in the future log.  This is called Migration and it will help you weed out distractions.  It is Designed to help you focus on things that are worth your time.  The difference between being busy and Being Productive.

Related Tasks & Notes go into a Collector.  Make sure you index the collector.  If I wanted to keep something private I could always use my google drive but for most of my life, why not share it... Might keep me honest when I write articles.


Now the Question is, can I get this onto LifeHacker or Lifehack ?  And would I want to?
