10 Bullet Journal Daily Scheduling Layout Ideas

I personally prefer to plan using a to do list but if you like to do daily planning with a schedule, here are some layout ideas!

1. 3 Columns

The writing space in this layout is narrow as this is an A5 page size notebook (Plum Paper). If you’re going to do 3 columns I’d use a bigger page size (my favorite is 7 x 9″).

2. Morning, Afternoon & Evening

3. Appointment Goal & Time

I came up with this layout years ago (this was the original post). If you get to the end of the day and are looking at your planner seeing only a few things crossed off it might be time to add an accountability tracker. By this I mean add a second time schedule section where you record what time you actually did that task.

This will help you see what time of the day you’re motivated to do certain tasks and schedule accordingly.

4. 2 Columns

Either split the page evenly…

5. Top 3 with schedule

Or maybe you want more space for scheduling and a narrower to do list:bullet journal daily layout ideas inspiration task focused 5am to 5pm workday planner bujo

6. Work & Personal

7. Full width of the page

If you want lots of space to plan by hour, try this layout:bullet journal scheduling daily planner day to a page top 3 8am to 5pm

8. Horizontal format

Most daily planners seem to use the same layout – vertical scheduling space. If you’re bored of that maybe it’s time to try horizontal:

9. Plan Bar Method

After seeing the daily plan bar method on the Bullet Journal website, I liked the idea and wanted to try it out, but of course I used rainbow colors instead of just black!

10. Small scheduling layout

Maybe you only need a small space to schedule your appointments and would rather plan by task, try this layout:

You could also treat the ‘must do’ tasks as the morning tasks, ‘should do’ tasks in the afternoon etc.

    Rachel, my name is MaryAnn and I’m on your email list. I follow your posts and have a couple of friends in Australia. Anna-Rose has been forwarding fire news to me daily, and I’ve seen the Australia-wide map of fires. Unbelievable danger and devastation. The poor animals, and now people are dying. I can’t remember where you and your sister live and of course all your family and friends. Just wanted you to know, American’s are watching and worrying. I’ve been praying. Anything that has happened here while horrible, is minuscule next to what you folks are facing. I hope you two and your family and friends are safe. There are fires everywhere, even a tiny island off Tasmania NE, so I imagine you are at least getting smoke. I hope you all remain safe through these dangerous times. I know you are a person of good common sense and very practical, but do take care and flee if need be with time to spare. Haven’t gotten today’s email yet, but I have heard of the power outages, and interrupted phone service, always a possibility your internet might be down or in heavy use. I just heard this morning your PM has requested Fire Fighters from the US and Canada. He asked for 70, looks more like he should be asking for 700, but it’s a start. Your folk must be exhausted! God Bless and keep you safe!
