In retrospect, I started bullet journaling just before the onset of the disorder. Several major projects were already on hand prior onset. Since then, my dedication to bullet journaling phased in-and-out over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Albeit its especial importance, I discontinued the first bullet journal within the first month. It was a momentous time in which I recorded the adoption of my second cat, death of a friend, compilation of her memorabilia, conclusion of a 3-year research, and the onset of bipolar disorder…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second attempt at bullet journaling began in the third month, during which I tallied the days when I could get adequate sleep. This journal also lasted for only a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coming into the sixth month of my illness (and after having stockpiled the bedroom with A5 notebook binders, daily planners, decorative tape and other stationary*), I finally understood the secret to priority management, juggling with my polarized schedules: namely by maintaining two or more bullet journals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polarity had become a characteristic of my schedule. During the day, I would work at a regular job. Only until 23:00 did I feel fully alive, as it was during nighttime that I could accomplish what I deemed of true importance. Thus, one journal was needed for organizing and planning the mundane tasks, another was needed for analyzing the real issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Too often, one priority obstructed progress of the other. Encroachment was easily observed when the sets of priorities were organized separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The types of polarity may differ between individuals, so be sure to structure your journals according to your personal needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
* Buying multiple versions of items is another symptom of bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n
