We here at the Law Office of Brett A. Burlison are pretty busy: we run two blogs – Legal Blog and San Francisco Injury Attorney Blog – and have a personal injury practice in two states. Thus, we got a bunch of junk to do . . . always.
Thus, we are always looking for ways to keep track of everything. We are huge fans of Evernote, TaskPaper, Dropbox, TrialPad, and iCal just to name a few of our favorite apps and we live mostly in the cloud (where work is concerned).
But every now and then something comes along so simple and yet useful that we have to find a way to incorporate it into our digital world and pass it along. Bullet Journaling is one of those things.
Bullet Journaling is a paper system of keeping track of your to do(s) or tasks and/or projects. It’s a self-made calendaring system of sorts that is so simple it’s incredibly effective. It also involves the use of a Moleskine notebook, which we adopted over yellow legal pads some time ago.
The system was devised by Ryder Carroll, a designer and art director in New York. We have adopted it with a few alterations and so far so good. If you want a full-on review of the Bullet Journal system click here for Lifehacker (one of our favorite sites) and their review. Or just enjoy the video.
Good luck!
