It’s been a few years now since I started bullet journaling.
In the beginning, I wasn’t sure it would stick. I made some natural mistakes: First, my journal was too big; then, I bought markers that bled and drove me nuts.
But I’ve stayed with it, and found that it’s by far the most effective organizational system I have ever used. In fact, I joke that my bullet journal is basically my brain.
As a busy working, homeschooling mom, I put EVERYTHING in my journal.
I also write about it. A lot.
So I wanted to put all of those posts in one place in case you want to give this organization system a shot.

How to make your bullet journal more than just a to-do list
I wrote this post after I had been using the bullet journal method for
about a year, so it includes a “tour,” and some thoughts on what works well for me.
I also talk about some of the things I don’t do, ideas I’ve borrowed, and how bullet journaling helps me with my anxiety.
I can’t do anything without my brain: Why I started bullet journaling
This post takes you back to the very beginning, when I was young, naive, and bought WAY TOO MUCH washi tape.
Still, it lays out the basics, and will help you get started!
Using the bullet journal system for homeschool planning
I found bullet journal homeschool planning accidentally, actually. I was
keeping a bullet journal for all the other life stuff, and it just happened.
This post, which I wrote for Simple Homeschool, really explains my planning process – how I start with a big picture, and how that eventually translates into everyday sanity!

You know all those ideas you run across in the course of a day – that
cool slime recipe you want to make with your kids? That math video you want to show them? Books you want to get next time you hit the library?
This post breaks down how to get those ideas out of your head and onto paper, so that you don’t forget them, and also so you aren’t carrying the constant stress of trying to remember them!
