As artists, we like to turn everything into art.

A bullet planner is the perfect fit for someone who wants to draw all their appointments and tasks onto their planner.

A bullet planner is a piece of paper with many dots on it.

This design gives the owner a blank canvas to make their planner be whatever they need it to be.

If your thing is coloring or doodling on your planner, this might be the planner type for us.

Let us jump back a bit since this is a continued discussion from my article, MASTER TIME FOR ARTISTS: TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR ARTISTS TO BOAST PRODUCTIVITY. We also discussed the importance of compiling all your weekly tasks in MASTER TIME FOR ARTISTS: THE USE OF A TRADITIONAL PLANNER.

Now, with your list of all the tasks you need to complete over the week, you have multiple ways of moving forward.

Since bullet planners have no set page design, you must design everything yourself. You can simply title the top of the page, WEEK of Aug 25 – 31, 2024. Then, make a small heading for Sunday and add the tasks you want to do on Sunday. (I vote for taking a nap after church :).)

After all your tasks are listed for Sunday, you will continue with the rest of the days for the week.

You could also list all your weekly tasks with a line next to the task and a check box. On the line, you would write the day you plan to do the tasks, while the check box is for marking off when the tasks are finished.

The beautiful thing about the bullet planner is the flexibility and ability to include art on each page. If you are inspired to draw a birdhouse, you could write down your housework in a list under the birdhouse.

Do you love to draw word art? Your bullet planner would allow you to draw your word for the week across the page and plan all your tasks to honor your word.

Your imagination is the limit.

I’ve included some examples of bullet planners in this post to inspire you.

A word of caution to someone who needs to have repeat pages. This planner is not the best fit for you because you’d have to draw the same page repeatedly. This takes a lot of time and prevents you from getting to work on your art and business.

If you are drawn to the bullet planner because you get to incorporate your art into your tasks planner, having a blank page or section on your planner page might be a better fit for you to express yourself while saving time.

Now, here are those bullet planners.

After seeing some examples, you can try a bullet planner or a bullet journal to catalog your art while using a traditional planner to log all your tasks.

Until next time, Happy Creating.
