Did you finally decide to take a leap and start your very first Bullet Journal (congrats!), but got stuck on what is a bullet journal key?
How to pick the right symbols for it?
When I first started I was very very confused myself.
I wanted to be more productive, but instead of that I was wasting so much time on the internet trying to set it all up.
Without the Brainbook – ebook about Bullet Journaling, my life would still be overwhelming and probably still would not be sure what and how to set up something basic like a key.
Check this ebook out, if you are still in the process, as everything is explained so well.
It is the language of your Bullet Journal:
It should be decided from the very start and usually is placed in the first few pages of your Bullet Journal.
Before you start, remember it should be a system that will work for YOU.
It needs to be functional first, it can become pretty later.
Especially at the very start, function is a priority over beauty.
Labels usually consist of tasks, events and notes.
1. Tasks: the things that you need to do.
You will need to decide what the symbol will be for: task, task in progress, task migrated, cancelled and completed.
It can be circles, squares, up to you!
2. Events: such as doctor’s appointment.
Decide a symbol for this as well. For some it is a triangle, for some it is a square.
3. Notes: It is not an actionable item but usually a thing that you want to remember.
Usually it is a simple “-” dash sign.
But really up to you.
It can be stickers, stamps, symbols. You come up with them, as well as use the original set up.
Signifiers: those are small color codes or characters that will help you to prioritise tasks and when taking notes, make everything much more clear.
Select a symbol/color for following: urgent, deadline, do not forget.
Finally, the bullet journal key will be unique for everyone.
There is no right or wrong way to do it.
Just start and copy from someone that you like, then develop into your own ideas and their way to do it.
The way I set up my Bullet Journal was with the help of this ebook:Brainbook – Bullet Journaling to a more organised life.
