I find making this project list helpful on a monthly basis or when ever I start to feel lost, confused or am suffering from a momentarily lapse of amnesia. It can be helpful to refer to it and remind myself of the many things I am working on and what small steps I need to take to achieve my goal. It can be updated any time by simply creating a new list and be implemented into your weekly layout in your bullet journal.
Depending on how much space you’ll need and how many task you need to do for one particular project, you can choose to create a page for each individual project. Now is also the time to list on a scratch piece of paper how many projects you may actually have and want to work on. Don’t choose too many. You may have ten projects like my self that you want to work on but perhaps your focus needs to only be on 3 to 5 things. Or you only have time for one special project; Perhaps some are easier than others or take priority. I find that most of us know what are goals are but struggle to break them down in simple steps to help us achieve them.
So for an example lets use blogging as my first project:
BLOG
A.) In your 1st column list all the task that you WANT OR NEED TO DO for your blog:
- Blog content exercise
- Finish all 4 blogs for the Month of January
- 4 Images
- Read Blog Inc.
B.) In the 2nd column list WHEN you need to achieve these things. I find it easier to break down my task by whether they need to be done daily, weekly or by providing an actual deadline date. (you can choose to leave an explanation):
- by 1/31
- weekly
- weekly
- daily
C. HOW, In the 3rd column list how you will achieve this.
- List 10 possible blog ideas by end of month.
- Finish one post a week.
- Create one image a week.
- Read 15 minutes a day
For some of my other projects maybe I just need to spend an hour a week working on it. I’ve attached pictures that show how I break down my list and then transfer it to my weekly project layout in my bullet journal.
Remember that you can draw this or type this up; however you choose, the idea is to break down your goals and define how you can achieve them by taking simple, easy steps without stressing about the overall goal.
I really hope this makes sense… Let me know if you find this helpful or have any questions.
