Gabe didn’t clean his room when asked and lost video game time. He promised to clean his
room twice a week in exchange for an extra 15 minutes of video game time on the weekend
for each cleaning. He also agreed that if he didn’t clean his room each time, we will deduct 15
minutes of video game time on the weekend

4 Core Collections
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
1. Index – your table of contents
2. Future Log – beyond the current month
3. Monthly Log – current month
4. Daily Log – for day-to day use
Index
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
With your pages numbered, the Index at the front of your
notebook helps you quickly locate content in your BuJo.
When you create a Collection, add its name to the Index
with its page number(s).Ex:
Big Work Project: 5-10, 23, 34-39
Index

Future Log
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Used to store dated entries that exist outside the current
month. The basic template is a six month log, but there are
many variations. Each month, review your Future Log to see if
anything can be migrated into the new Monthly Log.

Monthly Log
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
A spread of facing pages that consists of a Calendar and a Task page.
• Calendar Page: This minimal calendar is designed to provide a birdseye
view of the month. You can use it to schedule Events and Tasks, record
Events after they happen, or both. Entries here should be as short as
possible, as this page is designed for reference only.
• Task Page: This page is designed to help you take a monthly mental
inventory: What are the priorities for the month? What remains undone
from last month? What matters now? Get it off your mind, and list it here.
Leave some room in the left margin of the page to add Signifiers to mark
important entries.
Monthly Log

Daily Log
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Designed for day-to-day use. At the top of the page, record the date as your
topic. Throughout the course of the day, simply Rapid Log your Tasks,
Events, and Notes as they occur. If you don’t fill a page, add the next date
wherever you left off and you’re ready to continue.
Don’t set up Daily Logs way ahead of time. Create them as you go or the
night before. You never know how much space you may need any given day.

Migration & Reflection
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••"There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently
that which should not be done at all."
– Peter Drucker
Migration: Moving items to the next appropriate collection in your journal
(the next day, week, month, etc., or into a custom collection)
Reflection: Taking moments during migrations to ask yourself if the item is
still relevant, important, meaningful, etc.
Migration & Reflection
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Migration & Reflection
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Each time scale gets its own
migration/reflection time.
For example, at the very end of
each month, set up a new Monthly Log.
Then, review the pages of the month gone
by. Figure out which incomplete tasks
are worth your limited time and energy
moving forward. Strike out those that
aren't, and migrate the ones that are.
Migration & Reflection
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••To Migrate a Task, turn the “•” into “>”
to indicate that you’ve moved that task
forward onto the Task Page of your new Monthly
Log or into an appropriate Collection. If you
wrote down a book title for example, you
would migrate that entry into your "Books to
Read" Collection. ”<“ to migrate to the future log.
Once you've Migrated open Tasks, check your
Future Log. See if any Tasks or Events listed there
have become current. If so, migrate those
entries from your Future Log into your new
Monthly Log.
