    On the back of the very last page in my journal, across from the pocket, I put all my emergency health information (doctors, allergies, blood type, emergency contacts,...) with a note that my medication list is in the pocket. I also put a very vivid red trim around the edge of the page and a big red arrow on the pocket page pointing to the written information. Hopefully if the information is ever needed, the information will be found.

      An excellent idea to make it easily referenceable and visible! 💪💜👏

      Kizzy-I also have a small version of my meditations list in my wallet and also in my phone as you never know where first responders are going to look. Medical information is so important that redundancy is my choice. As great as bullet journals are, I am not sure that they would think to look there. Here’s hoping that this information for both of us won’t need to be looked for c❤

    For my tasks/sub-tasks that I do regularly, I use an icon and then boxes with the letter of each sub-task in each box. For example, when I want to wash my clothes, I draw a t-shirt with 5 boxes with the letters W (wash), H (hang), B (bring in), F (fold) and P (put away). Due to my disability I have to write all of the steps, because I need to take regular breaks and I don't always finish the connected tasks before I need to stop. I was finding that writing these sub-tasks down was wasting a lot of much needed space, so doing it this way keeps everything on one line. I also have the meanings for these tasks/sub-tasks written in my key, so that when my head's feeling foggy I don't forget what everything means.

      I am very much on the "break it down into manageable chunks" bandwagon, so if 5 steps is what you need then I am all for it 👏💜🥳 Awesome that you've found that time-saving hack for those tasks! 😄

    Here's some hacks I've found useful: 1)I set my long-term collections up on the perforated pages in my journal. If I need to reference the collection after the journal is filled up I can just rip it out or even punch it and put it on rings or discs.2) For easy reference I use icons and color code on my index and repeat them on the bottom of the pages so I can easily find them.3) For the longest time I have assigned colors to the months and highlighted the page number with the corresponding colors. 4) Threading is also useful. I mark the related page numbers both to the bottom of the spread and to the index.

    Finally someone made a video that actually explains what all the terms mean lol I’m such a newb but I’ve been super intimidated by my bullet journal! Super helpful, especially loved the diy bookmark and the tip on how to avoid counting dots-brilliant! And I finally know how people make those cute rectangles/squares for layouts and avoid spending hours on it! Thanks

      Most welcome Sharon! Glad it was helpful 😄💜

    Things I learned about today despite having been journaling for years: ruler guides, inverted tabs, cutting out ruined pages (I always just stuck them together and wasted paper), and dutch door weekly tasks/habits. Thanks always for being a great tips resource, Jess!

    • @JashiiCorrin
      @JashiiCorrin  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Aww yay! So glad you got some ideas from this one 😄💜

    I created a fake pocket in the front of my journal which I keep removable spreads (things I will likely move into a new journal) for example, period tracker, bill tracker, pill tracker, swatches and space guide. I find I look at them more now than I ever did when I put them IN my journal. :)

    • @JashiiCorrin
      @JashiiCorrin  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh awesome! Love that it's helped you use your collections more 😄💪🥳

    • @ReignBeauxStar
      @ReignBeauxStar 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, definitely can use the removable spreads for the period tracker!!!!

  • @leaabbey1089
    @leaabbey1089 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Brilliant ideas! Thank you! Sometimes when migrating, I will take a photo of my current list then reference it when writing my new one instead of flipping back and forth 🙂

  • @ReignBeauxStar
    @ReignBeauxStar 2 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    The using a picture and shading the back to trace is outstanding!!! I also love love love the ruler:space grid ratio is amazing!! The task list on the back and just doting the weekly routine is also a definite in my new monthly. Jess, you really tossed gems on this one!!!!

    I love the dutch door weekly tasks idea! After reading the comments it seems a lot of people liked that one. Also the inverted tabs are a new one to me that I gotta try. Thanks for all the great ideas! 💜

    That ruler hack has been life changing for me, the grid spacing guide that I’ve seen everywhere doesn’t work for me at all haha

    • @JashiiCorrin
      @JashiiCorrin  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The full-page guide can honestly be pretty confusing to look at 😝💜

    Like the suggestion of putting daily tasks at end of the month and cutting pages to see those tasks. Thank you!

    The tracing tip is gorgeous. I have switched to an archer and olive since July and wondered how to do this trick easily.

    I created a pocket on the front of my journal with all my “in case of emergency” details. My journal is always with me so if I need medical attention, or even just if my husband needs to be called to tell him I’ve been unwell, all the info my rescuer would need is there.

    • @JashiiCorrin
      @JashiiCorrin  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      An excellent idea 👏 I remember reading the story in the Bullet Journal Method book about a mother who had that in their journal which ended up saving their child's life and like LITERAL SOBBING 🥺😭

    These are great tips. Only one thing for me, I cannot stand the dots. I have to use grid journals, which of course is fine. The dots seem to drive my semsory issues into overload mode. I know you can do the same thing here with grid as you do dot

    • @JashiiCorrin
      @JashiiCorrin  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm a big believer in using what works for you 💪 Good to have representation from #TeamGrid 🥳

  • @KizzFullerKrause

    So useful! I have a grid-spacing page in my bullet journal but a ruler seems more practical 😅

    • @JashiiCorrin
      @JashiiCorrin  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think I’ll be setting up a ruler for my next one rather than a full page guide! 💪

    • @ReignBeauxStar
      @ReignBeauxStar 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I've never found a grid space to be helpful. I always make it but I never use it, I still count. But that ruler:grid ratio ruler will be made for now on!

    For tracing images use carbon paper or white tracing paper depending on color of your bujo paper. Also, can use a dotting tool to do the tracing so it doesn't tear your page.
