Introduction

A bullet journal is a "getting things done" or "productivity" tool.

“A Bullet Journal is a modularized system of calendars, daily logs, and personalized notes, all brought together into a notebook with an index and daily usage. It’s easy to learn. You don’t have to read a book to learn the system.” (The Messy Bullet Journal, Part 2, retr. jan 2019.
