Creating ato-do listis always great in theory.
But in practice, its easy to get distracted and let those tasks fall by the wayside.
Journaling in general comes with many health benefits to improve your mental well-being overall.

The bullet journal method does all thatand more.
Read on to learn more about the ultimate to-do list.
What Is Bullet Journaling?
It is completely customizable to your needs.
How Do You Make a Bullet Journal?
First, youneed a notebook.
Next are pens to write down your task.
Monthly Log:Like a monthly calendar, the monthly log breaks down each day of the month.
Youll use two pages and start by adding the month at the top of both.
The right will be your monthly task list.
Daily Log:As the name suggests, these pages will lay out your day-to-day tasks.
Youll start by writing down the days date and then bullet each task you need done for each day.
Once this is all setup, youre ready to start bullet journaling.
You essentially set up the following monthly log at the end of the previous month.
Then you take a look back at your daily logs to see which tasks still need to be completed.
Mark completed tasks with an x to keep it organized.
For each open task, youll assess if its still worth completing and bringing over to the next month.
If its not, strike it out completely.
This is known as migration, which helps you focus on the things that are worth your time.
And youll do these steps again and again as time goes by.
A minimal to-do list is sufficient.
Whats most important with your customized bullet journal is that you are consistent with filling it out.
In a world filled with many distractions, its an easy way to ground yourself and your goals.
