Bullet Journaling and more
So I've tried many types of organizing for my day-to-day activities. I've tried Day Planners from just any old box store. I tried planning only on electronics such as Google Calendar. I even went as far to purchase an Erin Condren. I will admit I liked the EC but it was a little pricey. I also struggled with the structured aspect of it. I wanted to be able to add additional papers to it easily and have the chance to add more plans.
Recently a friend introduced me to Bullet Journaling. There is a clear system of no system. Make sense? Check out Bullet Journaling for a brief overview. Simply put, you get a plain notebook, create an index, and get planning. You add what you want, when you need it. Genius! I can add lists for future plans, lists of books I've read, and a daily plan spot for as much as I need. Word to the wise, don't google Bullet Journaling layouts. Unless you have a ton of extra time to spend and a lot of artistic abilities. Some people are spending a ton of time creating absolutely amazing layouts and spreads. I wish I had the talents and creativity for all that. I do enjoy doing a few lists here and there and creating a monthly layout to plan. After that, I have a daily spread. I have tried a variety of simply ones.
Now that it is summer, I am getting into a planning mode for the next school year. I have recently found the Create 365 system. Tried it? I am intrigued by being able to add things easily to it. They just came out with a Teacher Edition version. So many stickers and fun parts! I plan to keep my calendars, parent contact basics, grade book, and lesson plans in it. Let me know your best teacher planner and planning tips!
