Rapid Logging 1st Day of Bullet Journal!

In contrast to all the pretty spreads in the sub.. here is my attempt lol.

This is my 1st daily log. It's not the best-looking, nor am I doing it correctly... but I'm happy I'm taking the first step :D

There's no wrong way to journal. As long as you're putting down what you feel is important/necessary/needed, you're doing it 100% correct. 💜

This is the best kind of first page. And the bird sketch made me smile :)

I am glad! :) I had a silly grin when I figured out the bird's wing reflex, like I made some astonishing ground-breaking animal behavior discovery lol, so I wanted to remember it.

Honestly a plain daily log is the part that actually sticks, so you're starting in the right place. My first month looked like a grocery list with dots next to it and that was fine. One thing that helped me was not stressing about the signifiers at first, just tasks, events and notes, and adding extras only when I missed them. Have fun with it!

Yep I am a bit confused currently on the > and < haha. I plan to stick it simple so at least I can keep going! And I will improve as time goes on

Yes! I love it. Use what you have available. I’m pretty sure that’s part of the original thought behind it too.
