Bullet Journal Joy - #SOLSC Day 2

I love March, when during the Slice of Life Challenge, I commit to writing on a daily basis. It's fun during 31 days of posts to watch the ebb and flow of my writing. Some days I'll be incredibly pleased with how a post turned out; other days I'll just be glad I posted anything at all. A huge thanks to the gang at Two Writing Teachers for hosting, organizing, and commenting on this ginormous event each year. I appreciate the community of writers you encourage the entire month of March, and all the Tuesdays the rest of the year. Thank you, thank you.

This March, I plan to connect as many posts as possible to my #OLW for the year - SAVOR.

I recently discovered the joys and unbelievable organizational assistance of a Bullet Journal. It was designed for people like me who try to get organized, but end up with lists everywhere, and can't always remember where the necessary list for the moment is. Today's post is celebrating this new organizational tool:

Lists and lists and lists

Before...
could be found on post-its, on jot pads,
on notepads and notebooks, in my calendar

on the counter, in my purse, in my schoolbag, 

on my steering wheel, on the door to the garage

and in some cases, not found at all

Needed my lists...

to stay organized

to help remember

(think of idea / forget to write it down / it's gone...)

Needed a better system...

discovered the Bullet Journal

Mentor texts that got me started...

Fresh start to organization each month...

just turned page yesterday to organize 

for March and beyond 

Brought me joy...
as I filled in my new

monthly calendar

daily to-dos

yearly planning

exercise log

books to read log

clothes I have worn log

table of contents for these new sections

Savoring... 

the organization of each page

every time a "to do" bullet gets checked off

adding new sections when they are needed

(a "places I want to travel" will be coming soon!)

organization for both my personal and professional lives

the creative feel and look of using colored pens

yet my fave Ticonderoga #2 makes an appearance also

having all my lists in one place

Ahhhh...
