Dot Journaling by Rachel Wilkerson Miller
Do you like to make lists? I love making lists, it helps keep me organized, keeps me on track, helps me worry less about forgetting to do something and it feels so good to mark things off my list when they are done. This year I also jumped on the planner band wagon for dates and appointments and have also been trying to keep better track of things like health, diet and sleep habits. In the past I’ve had several calendars, notebooks and papers all over and I’d like to have everything better organized and all together and I think a Dot Journal might be my answer.
In Dot Journaling Rachel Wilkerson Miller will explain just what a Dot Journal is, how to set one up for yourself and how to use it to help you set goals, stay on track and keep organized. A dot journal is a to do list, planner and diary all in one. And you can set one up to perfectly suit your own needs. You can make it as simple or detailed as you’d like. You can even get creative and use your scrapbooking and stationary supplies (like washi tape, markers, pens, stickers and stamps) for a custom look.
In the book Rachel has load of examples and inspiration, you’ll find page layout ideas and calendar set ups for daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. And great ideas of things to keep track of like sleep times, TV shows you watch, exercise logs, shopping lists, meal plans, journaling prompts, chore charts, money and budget trackers and more.
I tried a couple of the ideas in the book and created a single page layout in a small notebook for the month of August that included tasks, goals, events and a mini calendar. I also loved one of the meal planning ideas that used Post It flags to change out the meal for each day. I used some of my Harry Potter planner supplies to create my meal plan page.
