What is a daily log?

A daily log is a tool used to capture all sorts of tasks, events, and thoughts that occur throughout the day. As described by Ryder Carroll, the inventor of the Bullet Journal, a daily log serves as a place to offload information from your mind to stay present and focused. It's akin to an "inbox" and represents a less organized yet crucial part of a bullet journal, covering a broad spectrum of entries—from tasks and reminders to personal reflections 1.

The goal of a daily log is to help you manage daily activities effectively, ensuring that nothing important is forgotten, thereby enhancing your concentration and productivity on the current tasks at hand.
