Join Organized October: simplyconvivial.com/october - A planner only works if it fits real life. In this Simply Convivial episode, Mystie Winckler talks with Convivial Circle mentor member Rachael Younger about how she uses bullet journaling to keep a working weekly spread.
Rachael shares how she sets up her pages with lines, markers, and index cards, and why the freedom to modify each week makes the system sustainable. She shows how she:
Draws a simple weekly spread during her review in just 15–20 minutes
Uses daily cards and Post-its to stay focused
Keeps track of food spending, gardening, and routines in one place
Adds space for brain dumps, book lists, and meal plans
Experiments and iterates without pressure to be artistic
