Hi Amanda, I unfortunately can’t post anything higher resolution. Here is a link to my Etsy shop with some of the printables we’ve created! It’s not exactly like my hand drawn ones, but maybe it will give you some inspiration. 🙂 https://www.etsy.com/shop/theBrainbookShop

I’m loving this post, but I would really like to be able to see some of your weekly spreads more clearly. The photos are not high enough resolution to be able to read the text. Would you be able to post or send some slightly higher resolution photos?

I totally get the overwhelm! I find it best to write things down on the most “zoomed in” log that you have where you will be sure to see it again. So when something pops up for later in week and you already have a weekly log set up, I would just flip back to the the weekly log and write it down there. You might not think to look back at your daily log for an event happening in a couple of days!

There’s no need to go back and update Future logs if you already have a Monthly or Weekly log set up. Remember, a bullet journal is meant to serve you, not the other way around!

In reply to Alexandra. I so felt this comment! I am still in the process of getting my BuJo together and I’m already overwhelmed with what I should include in it in terms of weekly and daily spreads. But what you said is a huge concern lol. Do I need to add things to every spread and calendar?!

In reply to Greg.

Hi Greg,

As far as the signifier, I would only use that if I am migrating a task from one day to another, from one week to another, or one month to another.

Example, If I planned to complete this task on Monday, but ended up not getting it done, I’d put the arrow on the daily, and move it to the next day.

I don’t follow this progression with every task. My monthly tasks are much more “general” and then my I flesh out the tasks in greater detail on the daily lists.

I hope that helps!

Hello. I am new to bujo and was looking for info on using both. I feel that both will help me best but have a question about migrating tasks between monthly, weekly, and daily. After you move tasks from the future log to the monthly spread, then down to weekly and finally daily, do you put the right arrow signifier each time? Do you add a note to where it was moved? Last, do you move every task through that progression? I hope this makes sense. Great post. Thank you.

I need both the moderately in-depth weekly view of a Weekly Log, and the space to jot down things as they happen (and do my daily doodle!) that the Daily Log affords. What I struggle with is being scatterbrained….I feel like I don’t have a system figured out for where to write things when I migrate tasks from my daily to other logs. For example, I had a date pop up for this Wednesday and wrote it in my daily log to be migrated to my Weekly Log at the end of the day. Now, I know there is no right and wrong way, but should I migrate these to my Monthly and Future Logs as well?? I feel like my Future Log is where I write events for months that aren’t in my journal yet so I don’t necessarily need to write them there unless it’s a recurring event that I’ll transfer to my next BuJo…I guess I just feel overwhelmed by having a Monthly, Weekly, and Dailys, but I feel really underprepared for my weeks/days/months without them.
