The Bullet Journal Method: Track Your Past, Order Your Present, Plan Your Future

by Ryder Carroll

The Task “” bullet is fast, clean, and flexible. It can easily be transformed into other shapes, which is important, because Tasks can have five different states: Tasks: Entries that require you to take action. Completed Tasks: Action has been completed. Migrated Tasks: Tasks that have been moved forward (hence the right arrow) into your next Monthly Log (this page) or into a specific Collection (this page). Scheduled Tasks: A Task tied to a date that falls outside of the current month and is therefore moved backward (hence the left arrow) into the Future Log (this page) at the front of your book. Irrelevant Tasks: Sometimes the things we task ourselves with end up not mattering anymore. Their meaning simply expires or circumstances change. If it no longer matters, then it’s a distraction. Strike it off your list. One less thing to worry about.
