Dot Journaling--A Practical Guide: How to Start and Keep the Planner, To-Do List, and Diary That'll Actually Help You Get Your Life Together by Rachel Wilkerson Miller
3.0
As a person who loves making lists and crossing things off as they get done, I can’t decide whether this is too much time and effort for keeping a planner/to-do list or whether this is a fucking brilliant way to track and take note of life as it speeds by.
I found my to-do notebook from a few years ago and was feeling all nostalgic/relieved over some of the awful crap I had to put up with but also some of the fun times too but then practical me used the empty backs of the pages to finish off the notebook and make grocery lists and now it’s garbage.
Also, the author showed multiple examples from her own personal dot journal, and she kept referencing someone named “Sam” who she snuggled with but who also destroyed her apartment and was found in her bed with “Dakota” in separate entries. I was like, “whoa, you need to get rid of that psycho hothead” but then deduced that Sam is a pet, especially since most of her entries were about Alex (meeting his parents, shopping at IKEA, etc.)
In conclusion, I looked up bullet journals on Amazon and they cost quite a bit more than the notebooks/planner I currently use. $10 for a notebook that only has 50 sheets?! Ugh!
