Nice post - thanks for sharing your experiences.

I've been paper Bujo'ing for a few years now, and my use of the tool has shifted over time. I'm not a artistic blogger, bit I do love a good fountain pen. I've been considering the jump to digital, and my wife is a huge fan of GoodNotes so I thought that'd be a good platform to start on. Thanks for the wisdom and encouragement.

One question on your "Daily Logs Span Multiple Days" item. Can you explain more about open items that span days and what a "quick hit" is?

Thanks again!

Hey @bhansley! Thanks for the comment and the read!

So as far as the Daily Logs, in traditional BuJo (mindfulness) you would re-write the daily log over each night to prepare for what you'll be doing the next day. Since I mix both my work items (which span multiple days) and my personal items, I basically leave the daily log open and manage it as I go. I try not to let it get too unruly, but I just hated rewriting the multiple work items I had going over and over again. As an example:

7/26 --> 7/28

7/29 -->

Hopefully, that makes sense. Basically, my mindfulness exercise at night was where I could pick new things from my monthly log to add to the day. I usually re-arranged things with copy/paste so that all my "done" stuff was grouped together and my pending items were grouped together so it was easier to see at a glance.

Interesting. Everyone uses Bujo in their own, different way.

My daily logs are notes from that day, and new todos that were generated on that day. No planning for that day happens in the journal. Rather (and ideally), at the start of the day - or the day before - I'll look through my open tasks, flipping through pages back as far as the monthly log, and schedule in on my calendar what's to (ideally) be done for that day. Two reasons for this: 1) my work life is so calendar driven, blocking time for tasks just fits with what I'm already dealing with for the day, and 2) this protects/blocks time to do work and produce things. Completions happen back in the journal when they happen.

Monthly migration sweeps all open tasks forward to the next month, closes any missed closures, and cancels anything no longer worthy of doing.
