Dot Journaling - A Practical Guide: How to Start and Keep the Planner, To-do List, and Diary That’ll Actually Help You Get Your Life Together

Product Information

In this blog post, we’ll talk about how dot grids differ from other notebooks and how they are used.

When you finish a task or appointment, you can fill in the symbol. If you need to move the task or event to the next day, you can add an arrow facing right. As with many journaling materials, this category is very subjective because it depends again on what you like writing with and how creative you want to get with your planner. There are many dot grid journals available in the market, but only a few became popular. Why? Because of their quality and smoothness of the paper, the intensity of the dots, and the overall layout of the notebook. Over time, you begin to spot things you are thankful for throughout your day, forcing you to see the silver lining and generally altering your mood to be more positive. The gratitude log is one of my favorite things in this entire guide. This humble log will create mighty changes in your attitude if you give it a chance. 3. Affirmation Log Like I talked about before, all you need to start a bullet journal is a notebook and a pen. That’s it. You can use an old legal pad, some lined paper in a three-ring binder, or a half-used composition notebook. If you find you love bullet journaling, you may want to upgrade to a dot-grid notebook like a Moleskineor a Leuchtturm. But for now, feel free to keep it simple.The RETTACY Dot Grid Notebook has a transparent hardcover to keep it protected. And even though it’s not quite durable enough to use without a tabletop, the clear cover is a nice touch that allows you to create a “custom” cover without writing on the cover itself—perfect for changing things up every once in a while. I mean, the author was "most recently" (=currently unemployed?) a "lifestyle editor," at BUZZFEED. If this doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the quality of text you're going to find here, then nothing will.

Before this guide wraps up, I want to impart a bit of wisdom for any beginners. I’ve been using the bullet journal for around six years now. On top of that, I run a business full-time, focusing a lot on the bullet journal. I have learned a lot about the system that I wish I had known when I first started all those years ago. 1. Don’t Overdo ItDaily-monthly mix layout is perfect for the high-paced lives, and daily logging like restaurant managers, journalists who need to book appointments and deadlines.
