About this ebook

Organize your life, record what matters, and get stuff done! What the heck is a dot journal? It’s a planner, to-do list, and diary for every aspect of your life: work, home, relationships, hobbies, everything.

Early adopter Rachel Wilkerson Miller explains how to make a dot journal work for you—whether you find the picture-perfect examples on Pinterest inspiring or, well, intimidating. You decide how simple or elaborate your journal will be, and what goes in there:

• Lists of your to-dos, to-don’ts, and more
• Symbols that will make those lists efficient and effective
• Spreads to plan your day, week, month, or year
• Trackers for your habits and goals (think health, money, travel)
• Accouterments such as washi tape, book darts, and more!

Ratings and reviews

This book is well written. It had so many moments that I laughed out loud. Mostly because her reference in the book was so relatable. Yet it was able to clearly explain Dot Journaling in a way I was not intimidated by the idea of it. I am looking forward to referencing this book many times as I venture to begin my own dot journal.

Good resource to have about making your own spreads. Good supplement to add to the Ryder book.

Great resource on how to journal.
