Lists for everything! How & where do you keep yours?

[Honey1975]

New year, attempting new start at getting organised.

Last year I bought myself a filofax clipbook notebook which basically divides into sections so I thought I could have a section for different things I need to do food, house jobs, projects, shopping lists etc.
It worked for a bit now I find I forget what I've put in there & don't always remember to look! It's also quite bulky so a bit cumbersome to take around in my bag.

I do use the reminders in my phone which is great but I find putting a list in my phone is not the same a having a written list.

What do other people do in terms of lists for getting organised?

Just started a Bullet Journal. Join the thread and be forever converted! ;)

I was going to suggest a Bullet Journal too! It seems quite complicated and time consuming at first, but it really isn't!

The whole premise is that you have one journal (small enough to cart around) for absolutely everything (diary, to do lists, whatever you need to write down or remember). And you just structure it in a way that suits you. Because the format is flexible you can also change it to suit your needs on a monthly, weekly or even daily basis.

It really is an ingenious method!

Sounds intriguing! What sort of notebook would I use for a bullet journal? Wouldn't it need to be fairly big to hold everything? Do people carry the journals around in their bags?

The main reason I bought the filofax clip notebook was so I could add & remove pages like a mini ring binder.

You just need a notebook. I find a5 is the perfect size. I carry mine around so I can add to it.
Because every page is indexed it means that everything is easy to find.
To make mine a bit easier I find using a paper clip on the monthly calendar bit easier so I can just flip straight to it when I need to add another appointment.

But agree join the thread.

Yes A5 is the best bet which you should be able to carry around unless you have a really small handbag.

Ok thanks, that's a long thread, I could be there a while!😄
