Bullet Journal Questions

No, our tree is not up.  This is an image of my bullet journal stack taken in December of 2018.  I know that, because I started bullet journaling in 2017, and I use two books a year.  The upright one is the one that I bought to start using in January of 2019, and I was sitting in our living room, at the end of 2018, setting up the next book.

I had all of my books out yesterday morning, and now the stack has 10 blue books in it.  It's much taller, and it still tilts in one direction - I often decorate a page with a strip of washi tape - usually at the bottom of the page.  So the stack tilts.

One of the potential advantages of bullet journaling is that you design your planner.  It all starts with a blank page.  That's great for what I use it for - for journaling at home.  I tried a bullet journal at work once - it didn't last even a full month.  I need the structure of a pre-printed planner for work.  

 As I think about my journals, I'm still working out the best structure - or more accurately, I'm continually  evaluating what will work for me right now.  These are my current questions:

1. Tracking - I currently track 12 habits.  Is it work it? Is there a better way to do it?  I'm still exploring.
2. Reflections - Each month I write a page of reflections - what happened in the world and in our lives that month.  Is this helpful to me? I procrastinate doing it (currently, I still need to write pages for August and September, and I just wrote July's page yesterday).  Every time I think I'll stop, I don't.
3. Doodling - I doodle sometimes in my journal.  Other times I use stickers to decorate.  I like the doodles, but after doing it a month or so, I fall behind, and have to doodle the whole month at once.  Stickers are definitely easier.  My answer to this conundrum is to do what I want.  ;-)
4. Gratitude - I keep a page for each month where I write a line for each day expressing gratitude.  I like it - I think it is a good practice.  My question - do I invest enough thought in what I write?  Probably not.
5. Tracking church work - I volunteer at my church to handle communications.  I keep - or I have kept - that information in a separate planner.  I wonder if I keep use the bullet journal to track this work.  I may give that a go.
