Bullet Journal To Boost Your Productivity

Did you know you can use your bullet journal to boost your productivity?  It is a great way to stay productive at work, at home, or in school. Just about anyone can benefit from a bullet journal! From college students to busy working moms, to work from home rockstars like me! If you feel like you don’t have enough hours in the day to get everything done you want to accomplish, use a bullet journal to help you plan and prioritize.

Here’s how you can use your bullet journal to boost your productivity:

The Bullet Journal Makes You Plan Ahead

As you make out your daily tasks lists, you have to think about what you should be working on. This makes you plan ahead and think things through instead of sitting at your desk doing busy work. A little bit of planning can help you make progress that much faster and it will boost your overall productivity. If you find daily to-do lists helpful, give bullet journaling a try as a way to get even more productive faster.

I find it very helpful to make out my next day’s task list at the end of the day, and then review the next morning before getting started. Some people prefer to make out their list first thing in the morning, while they are drinking coffee and getting ready for the day. Both are valid approaches. Give both a try and see what works for you.

 

The Bullet Journal Motivates You To Get Stuff Done

Once you have your daily tasks recorded, you’ll be motivated to work on checking them off. I know I am! There is something immensely satisfying when I see all those things on my list marked as done! This will greatly increase your productivity in several different ways. The first is that you know exactly what you should be working on. You won’t waste time figuring out what your next step is, or sit there and watch cat videos instead of doing something productive. ( I know I am not the only one guilty of that!)

The daily list of tasks will also make you push just a little harder to make sure everything gets done before you call it a day. Try it and see how much more you can get done in a day with a daily list in your bullet journal.

The Bullet Journal Is A Great Record To Help You Reflect

Last but not least, the bullet journal is a great record of what you’ve been doing on a daily basis. Set aside a little time to look through your notes at the end of the week or the month. Reflect on what’s working and what isn’t. Where do you need to work harder? What can you stop doing? What tasks require more time?

Use the record your bullet journal gives you to improve your processes and tasks. It will make you better at your job, in school, and at home. Use it as a personal and professional improvement tool. I take a little time at the end of each week to evaluate the things I accomplished and establish plans for the next week. At the end of the month, I take a couple of hours to look back at what was accomplished, what I need to change for the month ahead and what was successful. Its really helped me keep track of whats working!

Using a bullet journal to boost your productivity is a win for sure!
