A daily bullet journal spread a day keeps the time suck away. Or at least that’s what I believe. The more cognizant you are of where your time goes, the better you’ll be at stopping any time leaks.
One great way to do that is by keeping a bullet journal daily log. Here are some bullet journal ideas and layouts for inspiration.

Important tip
If you want to be consistent with keeping a bullet journal daily spread, don’t overwhelm yourself with too much going on in your page because you’ll be creating a page a day. You may have the motivation the first few days you do it, but it’ll get old real quick if you try to keep up with elaborate spreads.
Doesn’t mean you can’t go all out once in a while, but try to stick to simple for the most part, okay?
Easiest daily log
Write the date at top and create your list. If you want some doodling, you can do it for habit tracking. (via Pin source)Brush lettering for header
If you want to use your brush pens* to make a fancy bullet journal hand lettered header, then go for it. (via @bujo.nina)Use of negative space
Love how the space stands out against this pretty floral bullet journal doodle pattern. (via @bujotrulia)Time ladder
Another simple bullet journal layout is a time ladder. Make a column with the hours you’re awake, and write tasks during the appropriate time frame. If you like the black, sleek lines*, use different patterns in the hour block to designate the type of activity.
For example, use vertical stripes for mealtimes, a plaid design for me time, etc. (via @journal_junkies)
Doodle of the day
This one incorporates the time ladder feature as well, but what I like is the space for a doodle a day as a daily creative outlet. (via @bulletjournal_sascha)Boxes for time of day
You might want separate spaces to log tasks by time of day, such as by morning, afternoon, and evening. You can also incorporate a section for a motivational quote. (via @creatrive)Manifestations and gratitude log
Affirmations and logging things to be grateful for are wonderful ways to incorporate self-care in the bullet journal, which I hope you know is ultra important. (via Studyspiration)Mental health tracker

If you don’t already have a monthly mood tracker in your bullet journal, then you can do a daily assessment like the one shown here. (via @my_journaling_corner)Chore chooser
Speaking of moods, I like how this bullet journal house cleaning spread allows you choose the house chore of the day in case you’re not feeling like sweeping on a Tuesday. As long as it gets done, right? (via @teachplancraft)Multiple item tracker
Just write what habits to track in your bullet journal: sleep, exercise, water, food, you name it. (via @teachplancraft)Use with stickers
This is a quick spread to track multiple things, like reminders, goals, to-do list, work stuff, and things to buy. Make it even easier by using functional planner stickers too. (via @nohnoh.studies)Ultimate time tracker
Or if you want to go all out with your goals in your bullet journal, use the time log and a habit tracker to mark how you used your time for each activity. Now that’s tracking your time down to the hour. (via @craftyenginerd)Conclusion
