Planning can be terribly boring, but also very, very fun! Here you will find tips and inspiration for creating your own books entirely based on your own needs. With paper and pen. What happens when you take notes with pen on paper is that the brain gets a sensible boost to partly remember things but also a processing to solve things more creatively. In other words, you can get even better ideas and solve things smarter.
When you write with a pen, it sticks in a completely different way than if you use a computer, mobile phone or printed books where you don't think properly. Things can then be done without you actually even reflecting on it. You can accelerate towards a goal if you have given yourself the time to actually think about what you want. Letting the brain process during a period when you probably don't even reflect that the brain is processing.
Eight years ago we started with the Bullet Journal . It's a method where you use paper and pencil and get the rub of what's going on in your brain into a notebook . Often a creative twist is woven in, which makes it extremely fun to sit and plan, combines utility with pleasure. When you master the technology behind Bullet Journaling, it very easily happens that you want a beautiful book for different things, regardless of what you want to keep track of.
For example:
-
Garden book - to get a handle on everything you want to implement or are already doing in the garden. Sowing, cultivation, when, where and how. Sorts on shrubs and trees, save info and note in future years. Make sketches etc.
-
House book - to save memories, for example different layers of wallpaper as rumors during renovations. Check the white goods, when purchased? How long warranty? And save receipts there. Notice of when service was carried out on the air heat pump, which color code is painted on the moldings, etc. A book where you store everything of importance while it is like a biography of the house.
-
UFO book (unfinished objects) is an excellent tool for those who start project after project. And rarely complete. To take inventory of everything that is lying around and clear everything and try to complete what you actually really want to get done.
-
Jul-BuJo is a book about planning Christmas. You fill it with everything you feel is important at Christmas. Recipes, memories, remember for next time etc.
- Making your own recipe book is extremely fun. For one thing, you can preserve older relatives' books that may be about to fall to pieces. Or make several copies for the group of siblings. Creating your own based on favorite recipes is a really great resource when the imagination runs wild. But is also a nostalgic and treasured future treasure for the children.
