Moving on, Ms Pang talked about the different factors that make up a bullet journal. Next up were the daily logs, in which Ms Pang made detailed and precise to-do lists
That includes the main 4 sections, namely an index, future log, monthly log and for each day. She first wrote the date down before adding different tasks and events
daily log. An index would act like a table of contents, while a future log would state onto the list, using different keys for different points. Details were then added after

future events in a very concise manner. Monthly logs would play the same role, each point, like the event time, venue, and so on. Ms Pang also mentioned that

Ms Pang later displayed her very own bullet journal, which included all the sections
listed above, along with additional decorations and sections. For example, she After the demonstration, Ms Pang held a quick Q&A session where participants were

added cover pages for each month with a change in theme to indicate a fresh start, able to voice out and clear any questions they had in mind. One of the participants
along with sections for bills, movies, books etc. asked how they could decorate their bullet journal if they aren’t good at art. Ms
Pang responded by saying that the main purpose of bullet journalism is to note
down tasks and events, so simple notes should do just fine, but little side doodles

could work well as practice. Another participant was also curious as to where Ms
Pang purchases her journal books. Ms Pang not only recommended a brand called
“Paperideas”, but also showed more examples of how she uses the books for bullet
journaling.

Before ending the workshop, Ms Pang encouraged participants to check out her
YouTube channel for more tips and tricks on how to design bullet journals. With
that, the fruitful workshop came to a halt, leaving participants with a newfound

bubbling interest in bullet journaling.

After explaining the basics of bullet journaling, Ms Pang gave a live demonstration
of designing one and encouraged participants to follow suit. All she used for the
demonstration was a blank dotted notebook, a calligraphy pen, and a gel pen. She

started off with the future log section where she split 2 pages into 6 sections, in
order to fit in 6 months’ content, from July to December. The design was simple,
which left a lot of room for her to note down important future events.

The following pages were used for monthly logs. Ms Pang used the first page to list
out the dates in the month before labelling each day of the week. This was done in a
single line, seeing as the monthly log is only used as a mere overview of important
events, such as seminars and birthdays. On the next page, Ms Pang made a list of

monthly tasks with checkboxes in front of each point to allow her to tick off tasks
as she goes, making it clear whether she’d completed them or not. Ms Pang’s YouTube Channel
