![]() The beauty of the bullet journal is that each time you review (adding, completing, or moving) items, you bring mindfulness of your tasks at hand and iterate on the need to keep the remaining entries. Iterating allows you to decide if entries need moved (perhaps to a new month) or deleted as no longer worth your time. You notate what happens with each entry by using the bullets (or some signifying markup). You can find a much better explanation of it in the "How to Bullet Journal" video. Most folks (from what I can tell) advocate pen-to-paper for a Bullet Journal. I'm a techie, and the idea of pen-to-paper is the equivalent of a real-life PC Load Letter error for me. I liked the system, and what it meant, but I also knew that much of what I read and watched could be applied digitally with the right tools and app. I decided I wanted to give Bullet Journaling a try, but more specifically wanted to try a Digital Bullet Journal (DigiBuJo). Specifically, I've found GoodNotes quite handy for the following reasons: I did some testing and research and found some folks talking about the capabilities of GoodNotes (now version 5).Pinch to Zoom: I can zoom in and focus on the part of a page when I'm migrating or drawing.Templating Bullet Journal: I keep an extra Digital Bullet Journal (in other words, a GoodNotes "Notebook") for creating new templates to export.If you draw a page layout in your Digital Bullet Journal and then start using it directly, you can damage the layout with the Erase tool. By drawing the layout and exporting it as a template, GoodNotes treats the imported template like a "background," which can't be damaged by the Erase tool.The Lasso Tool: I use the lasso tool to select entries and copy/paste them when migrating.This is one of the significant parts about a Digital Bullet Journal - you can save a bit of time during migration because there's limited writing. I haven't noticed any negative impact on mindfulness of the items, because I'm still reading them and figuring out where to Migrate them.The Erase tool: SO much cleaner than white-out, or erasing pencil marks.Also, if you pinch-out to zoom in, you can get accurate erasing if you're drawing/sketching.Excellent 2nd-Gen Apple Pencil Support: It just works, and the accuracy of the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro is paper-like.GoodNotes Search Function: GoodNotes has a Fantastic search function that even searches your handwritten notes! Yes, you read that correctly - searching handwritten notes.If I didn't know better, I would wager the GoodNotes team supplies CoreML models for handwriting recognition or something.iCloud Sync: I leverage this to get my notes on my Phone (for on-the-go reference), and also to sync to macOS (I park it in the corner while I work).How I Set Up My Digital Bullet Journal on iPad My Daily Log is always in front of my face or just a few clicks away. ![]() I created the following basic templates that I saved in iCloud and imported as I built out my bullet journal: I started setting up a bullet journal in 2019. My goal with the templates was to set up a functional journal and not have it be eye-catching. If you search YouTube, you can find several folks making highly creative layouts for their Bullet Journals. ![]() I wanted to manage BOTH my work and personal lives in a single journal, so I modified the Bullet Journal's standard key to a hybrid of some other keys I've seen folks using: That's simply not something I was willing to spend time on.
