How to Use the Bullet Journal Future Log
Each day, you write everything in your daily log as it occurs. There is no need to stop and think about where it should do. It just goes straight into the daily spread. At the end of the day, during your daily reflection, review your daily log and move any tasks or events that fall outside of the current month to the future log. Tasks and events that occur that month will be scheduled in the monthly log.
Each month, you start a new monthly spread. When you do this, you scan the future log and migrate any tasks or events related to the new month. When you move a task from the future log to the monthly log mark it as migrated. To do this, you change the task symbol from • to <.
The Benefits of the Yearly Overview
The bullet journal is built in such a way that you only focus on what is relevant. Anything else is put away in the future log until you need to relate to it. This keeps you focused on what matters at the time.
When you move items to the future log you are freeing your mind. You can stop thinking about them until they become relevant. That is the beauty of the future log bullet journal.
Another benefit is to see what your priorities are. When you scan your future log you see what you plan to focus your time and effort on in the next few months. If you are not happy with the way you will be spending your time then this is your opportunity to change your focus. Your time is limited and anything you spend time on prevents you from spending time on something else. This is a great opportunity to review your priorities and re-prioritize if necessary.
The bullet journal yearly spread includes 12 months. Even if you start in the middle of the year, Ryder Carroll, creator of the Bullet Journal Method, suggests you start your next journal at the beginning of the next year even if you still have space left. You will then migrate your future log to the new journal.
