He believes that not everything is set in stone and views his Monthly Log calendar as a timeline. He prefers to write down events or activities in the monthly log after they occur.
One interesting thing that Ryder implemented in the Bullet Journal Method is the way he tracks his events. Try to write down (unsure) events AFTER they occur If you anticipate that the next month would require you to write down all appointments in calendar format, then you should opt for the more complex calendar. You don’t have to stick to the monthly layout that you used last month if you feel that it won’t work for you in the next. You probably already know this but this is just a good reminder. You can opt to do this as well if you find the timeline format counterproductive. There are bullet journalists who prefer a monthly overview style (full calendar) rather than the timeline view. This design will not work for some especially those who use their bullet journal primarily as a customizable planner. This design helps the bullet journalist keep the monthly log clear and concise and also leaves space for tasks on the other side of the spread. Ryder’s intention for the calendar part of the Monthly Log is really a space where you log a summary of your day. It was because it’s quicker to create compared to a traditional calendar. Originally, the Bullet Journal Monthly Log uses a “timeline” layout – in linear form. Monthly layouts come in different forms and it all boils down to one’s preference. Choose your layout – timeline form or full calendar form?
