What's included
1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. Keeping up with a bullet journal can take as much or as little time as each student wants. It can be done in as little as ten to fifteen minutes a day, or if they love to draw, an hour or two.Assessment
There is not a formal assessment for this class. I will offer an informal appraisal of how each student can further expand skills on their own during the creative process.Class Experience
In this ongoing class, students will create and maintain a bullet journal. Research has shown that having a group for motivation and accountability is the best way to maintain a habit. A bullet journal is a blank dot gridded book where you can design an open gateway to a world of endless possibilities with no limitations on functionality or design. A bullet journal can be used to keep track of goals, assignments, feelings, food, and habits, to name a few. Maybe you need to keep track of your running times for cross country or keep a running list of to-dos for college acceptance. Visual and written notes for your favorite subjects are a great way to retain information. Make a collection for that in your journal. Did your bestie recommend a new show to binge-watch? You can keep a collection of that too. I recommend that students take my intro to Bullet Journaling class unless they already know what a bullet journal is or have experience keeping a datebook or bullet journal. Each week we will set up and design the new weekly or monthly spread. We will discuss goal setting, daily gratitude practice, habit tracking, for the new week and month. Then students will explore the many avenues and forms a bullet journal can take with designing different sections and collections they can include in their bullet journal to best suit them and how they can make the most of their weekly and monthly setup of the bullet journal meetup.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to create and maintain a new habit through group motivation and accountability checks. They will keep a bullet journal for the year, a lifelong practice that can help with time management, make and meet goals, stay on top of pending tasks, unpacking feelings, and encourage new things to learn, watch, read, or try in the future.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
I remind all students before class that comments during the discussion are to be kept positive. I will be discussing difficulties and hindrances I have faced overcoming an accident that changed my life and how a bullet journal helped me set goals, stay on top of what I needed to do, and keep a positive mindset through a very trying time.
