Before you say, “I can’t draw,” hear me out.

I can’t draw either. In fact, I almost gave up on bullet journaling completely because I felt like a failure. Not to mention feeling like a fraud, because What is a bullet journal without the artwork? Right, it’s a lame DIY planner… (This is literally how I spoke to myself in the past, but I’m on a quest to change that. Let me know if you want to hear more about this journey and I’ll be happy to share.)

My bullet journal contains no drawings and no grandiose monthly theme. Some hard-core bullet journal-ers may say that mine looks terribly boring and unimpressive. But that’s okay because it works for me, and I think it can work for you too.

Getting organized sounds like a huge undertaking. But with the right tools, it doesn’t have to be!

We all go through unproductive seasons in life, and that isn’t always a bad thing. But if you find that you just can’t seem to get to a place where you’re groovin’ and movin’ (up) then perhaps this can help you.

This productivity ecosystem, as I like to call it, has four organizational tools working together to make sure all aspects of your life move as one unit. Nothing is perpetually neglected because other things take priority because you “don’t have time,” and nothing gets lost in life’s messy shuffle either.

I employ the best that technology has to offer, and I also keep it simple with a notebook and pen. It helps me maintain focus and limit distractions. Overall, a pretty awesome system if you ask me!

Learn how to set it up to work for you in your life!
