Today I want to share a really powerful organizing tool with you: the bullet journal method! 

Earlier this week I asked the Mid Mod Remodel Community how they stay organized and on track of their home updates. What I heard back is that mostly they feel like they don't.

I get it.

Planning a home remodel ... on top of everything else you have going on in your life ... can seem like a lot. Keeping track of your progress and moving forward consistently is even harder. 

I make this so much easier on myself with the bullet journal method. You can, too!


In today's episode you'll hear ...

  • When I asked my community of mid mod remodelers how they stay organized and on top of their home update projects ... they mostly said they don't. If that's you too, you're not alone! [0:55]
  • Don't worry you do NOT need to be a great artist, or have infinite time to curate your work, in order to get the best out of a bullet journal ... stick to "minimalist bullet journal" for your inspo searches. [2:30] 
  • The basics of the system and philosophy, developed by Ryder Carroll [3:13]
  • A quick overview of how to set up and use your bullet journal [4:31]
  • How I plan my life (and home remodeling goals) with quarterly plans and daily/weekly "big three" lists a la Michael Hyatt's Full Focus Planner [7:24]
  • How to get started planning any home update by taking a survey of your home. Use my DIY Home Assessment workbook to get all the important info in one place [9:25]
  • A whole host of ideas for how to organize a remodel with a bullet journal [10:21]
  • TEASER: I'll be including a mini training on exactly how to use a bullet journal as one component of my upcoming Ready to Remodel Course. If you want to be notified about all the updates ... get on the waiting list here!
