No more trying to look around for scratch paper or having Post-it notes lying around everywhere. One of the reasons for the popularity of bullet journals is they are a personalized planner that you create based on your own needs.
Here are a few tips to help you be more organized with your bullet journal.

Successful bullet journalers use their bullet journal every day. For your home organization needs, include daily lists with your tasks for the day, appointments, schedules, and anything else you need to include.
You can easily use weekly and monthly pages to plan your cleaning, organizing and decluttering tasks. As much as we wish these tasks could be done once and for all, we frequently need to repeat them every week and every month to stay on top of them.
Add Many Different Categories to Fit Your Needs
Adding multiple categories for your journal is also recommended. Some people limit categories to the things they have the biggest problem with, like meal planning or keeping up with appointments. But, nearly every part of your life can benefit from having pages in the bullet journal. Here’s a few ideas for categories to include finances and savings, work goals, even personal diary entries for special memories or thoughts you want to remember and review later.
