I’ve recently had my eyes opened to a whole new craze in organising, known to those in the know as the “bullet journal”. What is this thing you speak of, I hear you say!
Well, I’m just on a journey of discovery myself so I’ll keep you posted, but for now I have gathered the following and can tell you this much – it is a place where people who tend to have a lot of lists floating around can keep all of their lists together in one place! It’s a personalised fully customisable system. And it’s an excuse to buy a gorgeous new notebook (mine is a moleskine I picked up at TK Maxx)… It’s basically ideal for me, as I am an obsessive list-maker, but I often forget to look at my lists as I misplace them or lose track of them. The jury is still out as to whether this is going to work for me in the longterm, but so far in 2 weeks of using it I think it’s having a positive impact on self-organisation and stress levels!

You can also read lots more about this concept on this website, written by the original inventor, including a video which teaches you how to get started www.bulletjournal.com
There are plenty of other useful websites – two that I like a lot are https://www.tinyrayofsunshine.com/ and http://www.bohoberry.com/. These ladies really know how to make their bullet journals look beautiful! Of course that isn’t actually necessary in order to get organised, but I find that if you love how something looks, then you’re more likely to use it. So to that end I have bought myself some colouring pens! Not ones for the kids, ones that only I can use (unless they ask me very nicely, and promise to put every single pen lid back on!)
