Have you ever felt that there is too much to do and not enough time? If you had more time, what would you do with it? The Bullet Journal Method, created by Ryder Carroll helps you prioritize your life to find your true path. Develop practices for goal setting, stress relief, daily gratitude, and habit tracking. All you need to get started is a pen and a notebook.

Food - Stay Alive
Cleanliness - shower, laundry, home
Self Care - Nothing gets done if you can't do it
Work - need money to pay bills

Reflection is important. Each month look at last year to remember what happened and how to improve. For example, if you always seem to get sick certain busy times of year, try to work preventative self care into your schedule:
Sanitize hands
get enough sleep
schedule a day off
Keep a Daily Log
Print this form with sleep tracker
Track sleep if that is something you need to work on for self care.

Mind Sweep
Throughout the day, write down anything that comes to mind to clear your head. Migrate these to your daily, monthly, and future logs.
Brain Dump
Sit down and write down everything that you need to do all at once. Prioritize the tasks Migrate these to your daily, monthly, and future logs.
Daily Logs
It helps to look at all the tasks that are on your mind and see which ones actually need to be done and to set your priorities. Try to list your top 3 to focus on in your day.
The "Done" List
If you feel as if you are never getting anything done, make a list instead of all the things you accomplished in a day. Although you may not have checked off many things on your official to do list, you will find that your days are actually quite full!
Migrate tasks
Each item needs to fight for its life to stay on your list. Re write tasks until they get done or become irrelevant (p. 94). If you are migrating a task frequently, move it to a collection and break it down into smaller steps. Ask yourself why you are avoiding that task, and if it really needs to be done. What are the consequences if you do not do it?
Questions to Ask yourself:
Does this matter?
Is this vital?
What would happen if it didn't get done?
Reflection
How could things have been done differently?
What am I proud of?
