Adapt Bullets Article For Free

hey guys and welcome back to my channel so today's video is going to be about how I use the Alistar method now this is something that I've been using kind of off and on for a while and I do try and link the tutorial article that Alistair Johnston the the guy who actually invented this did for the bullet journal blog however I thought I would just do a quick video for those of you who are still kind of curious about how it works and maybe don't know how to adapt it to what you actually need in your bullet journals so I'm going to show you sort of how it originally was designed to be used and I'm also going to show you how I have personally adapted it for my bullet journal so let's get started okay so I've just grabbed a spare pad of paper to show you guys so if you guys have not heard of the Alistar method yet this was originally designed as an alternative to the future log and the way that it works is actually super simple which is one of the reasons why I really like it essentially you say so pretend I'm going to do this for my future log you basically would draw a line at the top of your paper and you would decide okay currently we are in say November so I'm going to say I started in December so I would say for example D for December J for January F for February and for March and you could do this for as many as you want I'm just going to pick four for a start so the way that you would go about filling this in is that you would say okay for example I know that I have to I don't know my birthday is in January so I would write down for example to the right of my columns I would write down 29th my birthday for example okay and then I would say all right which month does it go into it goes in January so I do a dot under the January column so that might be a little bit easier to see then I would say okay let's say all right the 25th is Christmas so I would do a dot under December and I have my school holidays for the 22nd until the 7th of January and I would write down holidays and I would do for example I personally would probably do this for both okay so you kind of get the idea where essentially you list any future tasks that you have in any particular order whenever they actually come up in your life and you would then sort them based on the month that they happen in using this left column here so that as you're going through for example and you're setting up December you would go through anything that's in this far left column here and so on and so forth so that you can essentially save space this is kind of an alternative for people who maybe don't have enough tasks to actually do the traditional future log which would give you you know imagine you split your page you know you've got your full spread here you split your page in half and then you split it into three months imagine you don't have enough tasks to fill up something like this the alastair method was a way it is or is a way to still keep track of those tasks but in much less space...
