This is my digital journal setup.
This was inspired by Bullet Journal, enabled by GoodNotes on iOS and the Apple Pencil.
These may work in other formats for you.
Write tasks in the todo box. Different colors or highlighted may work to indicate priority.
Throughout the day, you do one of four actions to your tasks.
done- complete a task by coloring in the task bubblepush- at the end of the day any open or waiting task gets pushed to the next day. Copy those to your next page.nope- never going to do a task? nope it by drawing a line through the whole thing and moving on with your lifewait- when a task is blocked (for whatever reason) write a littlewin the bubble and maybe a note indicating why you're waiting
Draw a bracket to show a time block is occupied.
Some find it helpful to write the starting time to the left.
In that block, mark how that time was used.
For unplanned time, mark a time block in a diff color. This indicates the time was a divergence from your planned day. It's not a negative thing, just an answer to "Why didn't I finish X? Oh yeah"
The bottom half of the page is made for scribbling. Take notes for meetings that happened that day, or mark down other items that happened of interest.
Easiest way is to download a release zip file and open it into your icloud drive folder.
Then in Goodnotes, go to Options - Template Library - +.
From there Go to Custom - Edit and then select the pdf files to add from your
iCloud Drive as new templates. Choose a page, change the template to your new
shiny dijo page and get productive.
