  • It reminds me of a couple of years ago when bullet journalling was a "thing". What's a bullet journal? A fucking to-do list. Literally that's what it is, but it was all over YouTube as some supposed "life hack". And the worst part was every no-mark pissflap then decided they had to tell everyone what pen and notebook and fucking ruler they used to do their bullet journalling and how important it was.

    They'll look back at this kind of thing as a symptom of a deeply rotten society.

    "It will not only help you get more organized but will also help you become a better person."
    -Cal Newport, author of Deep Work

    If Rapid Logging is language the BuJo is written in, Bullets are the syntax.

    'BuJo'

    Tasks can have one of five states

    This example is known as the Daily Log. It's the workhorse of the Bullet Journal, and one of the four main Collections.

    their emphasis

    BuJo is a modular framework. Each module, or Collection, serves to
    organize related information. You can mix and match, customize, or
    even create Collections to best suit your needs. Let’s take a look at
    the four core Collections: The Index, Future Log, Monthly Log, and
    the Daily Log.

    got to be a spoof.

    good grief, they want me to buy a manual too!

  • bullet journaling

    Reminds me of "shooting" for taking photos of your shit brunch.

    • "I shoot with a Leica".

    Fuck off and die.

  • Indeed. I make notes on random bits of paper using whatever pen/pencil/crayon is to hand.

    If they're really important I'll take a photo of them on my phone as a backup. If I can't find a pen/pencil/crayon I'll use the notes app on my phone (but this is a last resort).

    The idea of having to carry around a specific favourite pen (all that "I've *always* preferred the Stabilo Boss 1.2mm floating ball unicorn blood gel pens. Once you've tried one you'll never go back to a normal biro - how terribly ghastly!" can get in the sea) and little notebook (Moleskin usually, poor moles) is my personal idea of hell.

    Keys, wallet, phone, lint.

    To be specific to this thread. I hate having to rely on too many things. Fewer = better.

  • Tasks can have one of five states

    I genuinely can't stop laughing at this. Partly because I have just been arguing about whether Tasks' 5th 'state' is actually a property, rather than a finite state.

    But that's somewhat justified in a functional specification for a big, expensive workflow system that will take a year to deliver.

    This is a to-do list on paper.
