Summary
Organize your life, record what matters, and get stuff done!
What the heck is a dot journal? It’s a planner, to-do list, and diary 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)
Accouterments such as washi tape, book darts, and more!

Reviews
Lots of good ideas to keep a useful, practical, beautiful journal in no time. I ended inspired
Easy to read with lot of examples. Funny read too!
It made me realize that bullet journals are not meant to be perfect and it help me to revitalize my bullet journal. Thank you so much!
Comprehensive and simple. Lots of sample layouts and organizing tips.
I borrowed this Kindle book under my Amazon Prime reading program. I was actually looking for a different book, but this one had high ratings and was borrowable, so SCORE.What a great find this is! HIGHLY recommended if you're getting started with bullet journaling and want some ideas.The author has a very casual and pragmatic tone to her writing - she's encouraging, has a sense of self-deprecating humor which made her very identifiable, and what she offers is practical inspiration that anyone can attain and plus-up.I've been a journal keeper for years and live by my paper journals/planners. While I like the BUJO movement and all, I feel like there are opportunists everywhere trying to sell you layouts or accessories or...whatever. The truth is, you don't need all that stuff - you just need a system that works for you.Some of those Pinterestie layouts take hours to get just so. I love looking at Instagrammed bullet journal layouts and admiring them like I would runway fashion - pretty and all, but FUSSY, high maintenance and not functional for my messy life. Not at all authentic or real life, y'know?What I like about this book is that the layouts are actually usable and practical. You can fancy them up if you want, but you needn't. Without trying, the author demystifies BUJO 101 and provides ideas for finding what works for you.Highly recommended. I borrowed it and if you're prime, you can too, but if you're looking to buy a book like this, it's worth the money.
Many good ideas here, most with variations so you can quickly come up with something you find appealing/doable. While you can find many of these ideas on the internet, it's much quicker to see them -- and to see them compared -- in one place. I especially like the way the author approaches serious concerns, like health or debt, with a light touch but also with practical suggestions. Very well balanced!
Meh. Just ideas you can easily find on pinterest.
