Bullet journaling & failing miserably & you! (Me.)

It seems like everyone and their whole ‘Whole 30’ crew are bullet journaling. But to the uninitiated, the concept of the BuJo (kill me now) can be overwhelming. So I offer up to you, dear friends, a peek inside a page of my very own bullet journal…on a blog. (And yes, many people like to keep the list all jumbled together with different methods of annotating them, but I generally like to keep separate categories for my musings. I think you’ll agree it works exceptionally well.)

Let’s start bullet journaling with “ON MY BRAIN RIGHT NOW”

  • (And let’s spend about 20 minutes doodling hearts to make it look, you know, Pinterest-y. At least Instagrammable for a smallish traction post. Let’s shoot for 20 ‘likes.’)
  • I’m tired.
  • That’s a terrible way to start a list.
  • STOP JUDGING YOURSELF, KEELY.
  • We haven’t done laundry in what seems like years.
  • Then why do these kids still have overflowing closets of relatively clean clothing?
  • Jerks.
  • When Jasper goes to kindergarten I might lose my actual mind.
  • Like, I might cry my brain out of my ears.
  • I should go sing to him.
  • WHY IS EVERYTHING IN THIS ROOM COVERED IN DIRT.
  • (I don’t know if I’m bullet journaling this right.)

NEW HEADING: …Work?

  • Oh my God, I have so much work.
  • Baby article.
  • Kid article.
  • Mom article.
  • Schedule social media posts.
  • (…Don’t stay on Twitter, don’t stay on Twitter.)
  • Craft awesome post for Tidyish on refurbishing alley finds.
  • Craft throw-away post for Tidyish on Facebook about, like, literally nouns.
  • (Check in later to see the Tidyish post has 30 page views.)
  • (Check in later to see the throwaway FB post for Tidyish has 45k page views.)
  • (Encourage latter to check out the former. A lot. Fail miserably.)
  • (Legit give up.)
  • (Is it wrong to rip out pages while bullet journaling?)

This is depressing: NEW HEADING! Okay, “to do soon, please!”

  • I should meal plan for next week!
  • I should pin 17 craft ideas for fairy cottages!
  • We need a new front door!
  • Let’s all eat nonstop kale!
  • …Nora’s baby book is super duper not completed.
  • …Nora is 8 and a half.

(HERE’S A DOODLE OF A NARWHAL.)

Hey look! Books I want to read!

  • “Super philosophical title”
  • “Suspiciously maudlin title”
  • “The one everyone loves but which will make me irrationally angry, I can just tell”
  • “Oh look, a book about food”
  • “…the Nora Roberts novel I’ve already read four times this month, j/k, it’s actually five”

Dear Diary,

I’m sorry I strayed.

BFF, LYLAS, ROFL,

Keely
