Bullet Journalling Index

Here are some bullet journal key examples:

• = Notes

Basic notes that you want to remember

🕒 = Dates or deadlines

The clock symbol is handy to add beside an entry with a deadline and due dates.

❊ = Important

Use this signifier to mark important things on your list that need memorizing.

ᆝ= Reminder

You can add an exclamation mark for something you need to “verify”. Requires two steps.

⬜ = Task

Sometimes though you are not able to finish a task in the same month or week, then you must migrate the task. Migration is basically rewriting items you haven’t finished in another current spread.

⬛ = Completed task

Use the ᐳ sign to classify a task as migrated (some people might also use an arrow – ⥅):

⍄ = Task migrated ➡️

And sometimes you have to cancel either a task, event, or appointment. Then you just put an ✕ on top of your bullet journal key, like this:

⊠ = Cancelled task

☑ ✔︎ Reading

This is reading you need to do! I may draw a pair of glasses too. 👓 ∞

🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️ Group Work

Stick figured with 1 person, or multiple people might denote group work vs individual work.

See what works for you

You get the idea! You can create your own keys and signifiers, that will make sense to your entries.

Don’t feel like you have to use the same ones or mark them for the same thing! Do your thing! These are just a few to get you started.

But before you go overboard making millions of bullet journal legend and signifiers in an attempt to log your entries fast, just be aware that too many signifiers can actually make you less effective.

I suggest only using a few key symbols to make entries easy to scan.
