I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to ask, but what kind of layout / system do you use with your bullet journal?

What I understand is that bullet journals are typically most effective when you adapt it to your own work / domain, but most examples of what others use (including the subreddit community) are almost art projects.

I would be very curious what a more “HN-approved” bullet journal would look like.

I put together a YouTube playlist with the best videos I've found [1], exactly because it's so hard to find any that treat it as a tool and not an art project. It's roughly in the order I recommend watching.

The main bullet Journal reddit has also been taken over by the art crowd, but there are two others that are specifically about journaling and productivity. [2][3]

I keep it very simple, just a black pen and very little decoration. I draw a horizontal line to mark the beginning of a new day and skip all the other "logs". I mostly use the symbols (note, Todo, migrated Todo, etc.)

The only fancy thing I do is my weekly plan, which also includes some KPI tracking. For this, I have a template slide that I print out on an A5 sized sticker, slap it in there and fill it out.
