Everbook Experiment
Purpose
This experiment is to see if using the Bullet Journal Method with my Everbook is a better fit for me than using it with a notebook. My notebooks generally consist of the standard journal log spreads and the reflection spreads, along with the occasional long-form writing pages and small project trackers. I generally do not track larger projects in a notebook as they typically have a duration that spans multiple notebooks, and it makes for a lot of tedious copying. (Alternatively I could index into the previous notebooks, but I’m not a fan of having several notebooks out on my desk either.)
Instead, I track projects inside of my Everbook. The Everbook uses templates to create project bundles consisting of sheets of paper. This way I keep all my project artifacts separate from my journal notebook and I don’t have to worry about how long the project takes. As part of my workflow, I apply the Bullet Journal reflection practices regularly to review and cleanup my Everbook notes to avoid building up a big mess of papers. Some of my notes will get condensed and rewritten, others will get transferred to my digital notes for long-term reference, and some will be thrown out and recycled as they become obsolete.
Experiment
I have set up the same spreads I would use for my daily and monthly logs on pages I’m storing in a “logbook” bundle. I am going to try and do all my normal journaling work and reflections inside the Everbook for the next two months. After that I should have enough experience to determine if I want to make this change permanent.
