        I decided to give Bullet Journaling a try. Recently I've been using
        Todoist to track my to-do list and it worked fine for the last couple
        of years, but recently I've been cheating too much and pushing back
        on my list of tasks. It's too easy to ignore something on the list
        and just reschedule it for later.
       
        The last time this happened was around 2007. I was using org-mode to
        track my projects and then too I started to cheat my way into not
        doing what needed to be done. My reaction at the time was to switch
        to a paper organizer from FranklinCovey. It worked perfectly. The
        mental impact of committing something to paper prevented me from
        cheating - it left very visible evidence.
       
        I've been hearing about Bullet Journals frequently in the last weeks.
        This last week someone presented a talk about it at work. So let me
        give it a try.
       
        My first temptation was to use an ipad with a stylus instead of paper
        notebook and pen. I gave up on the ipad because again it would be too
        easy to cheat. Paper it is.
       
        I still have some questions about how this method works specially
        tracking multiple long-term projects with sparse tasks.
