- unhashable 7y agoGTD => BuJo convert here. I’m a believer. I started BuJo’ing 6 months ago and feel totally liberated. I haven’t skipped a day and life is. Way. Better.
- wenc 7y agoI tried adopting the standard Bujo symbols, but they weren't intuitive to me. i.e. ⋅ = task, ⊙ = in-progress, × = completed. I replaced them with my own, which to me made more sense. ◯ = task, ◐ = in-progress, ● = completed.
- jolmg 7y agoThe ones I use are: [ ] - task [/] - in progress [x] - completed [-] - canceled [|] - moved to next day / another time This is all with pen and paper, of course, with the [ ] being boxes. Once something is marked in-progress, I can still mark it completed, canceled, or moved by just adding another line.
- wenc 7y agoThis makes much more sense. How do you move from in-progress to canceled or moved though? If you do a horizontal/vertical strikethrough, doesn't that create a new symbol which look like completed upon glancing? With the standard Bujo symbols, you can't really move from in-progress to completed without a making a completely new mark. Also, I need more visual differentiation than just tiny dots so I can scan a page of bullets quickly.
- jolmg 7y ago> doesn't that create a new symbol which look like completed upon glancing? Well, not if you make your diagonals hit the corners and your verticals/horizontals hit the sides/top/bottom. In ASCII, they look like they're contained inside, but I actually make the lines cross the box border. For multiple contiguous items that I'm moving, I may even just make a single line to cross multiple boxes. I'm trying to reduce over-committing, though.
