Idea 32: Countdown Tracker

Countdown Tracker

If you have special events you'd like to keep an eye on, consider creating a countdown tracker to view them. 

Keep track of important events with a Countdown Tracker in your Bullet Journal

 

Here's a super simple version with the date as the first column of numbers and the second column of numbers is the days until the special date you're counting down to. Draw a box around the special date so it's always at a glance.

How it works:

  • First column = Days of the months

  • Second column = Days until

  • Square on the date you're counting down to

In the photo above you can see how for the third thing I am counting down (Tucker's birthday), I wrote the number 5, for today, the 5th of May since today is the day I started tracking. After that, I went to this website to calculate how many days until his birthday on August 31st. It turns out that it's 118 days until his birthday. So I proceeded to countdown starting with the number 118 until I reached number 1.

After that, I wrote down days of the months until August 31. This means that I wrote down the remaining days of May, and all the days for June, July, and August.

Here's the finished product where you can see how it all works together. 

I use a checkmark to indicate which days have passed to know what day it is, and all I need to look at the number to the right of it to see how many days until the special day.
