Learn Bullet Journaling
Merchantville Library will offer a class on Bullet Journaling this Monday, December 9th at 7:00 p.m. The Bullet Journal is an analog system meant to help you "track the past, organize the present, and plan for the future" - the technique of using quick and short descriptions. Picture a short-hand, visual cue to quickly categorize whatever you need to capture in order to keep life on track. And that’s a bullet journal in a nutshell.. The Bullet Journal can be your calendar, task manager, sketchbook, journal, idea catcher, and much more. Get your life organized and on track for the 2020 year. Register here.
