A few years ago, I started bullet journaling, and I love it as a way to stay organized. I’m a list maker, and it keeps everything all in one place, but gives me the flexibility to make changes to my planning style as I go.

I just finished reading The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll (the guy who invented this system – I highly recommend his book!), and it really made me rethink how I’m planning and using my bullet journal. My journal is pretty minimalistic already, aside from color coding. (You can see examples on my Instagram.) However, I find myself starting collections that I don’t need and never finish. (Am I ever going to need to look back and see if I finished the entire series of Parks and Rec? lol)
So, I’m at a crossroads starting my 2019 journal. I’m beginning the year in a new insert in my traveler’s notebook, but I’m not sure if that system is my best option anymore, especially if I really pare down my collections. But, that’s the beauty of a bullet journal compared to other planners. You keep what works, and you change what doesn’t, without having to start all over!
