Bullet Journal Progress Walls and Progress Grids

I got a Bullet Journal as a gift in December and have been messing around with it a little
The one thing I like to have in my Bullet Journal is a progress wall or progress grid
What a progress wall can do for you is to visually let you know how long you are from your goal. You can make it look neat and pretty or as in my case a little messy


I decided to run 750 miles this year and also do 15,000 push ups. This means I will do about 100 push ups every other day and run about 4 miles 4 times a week

What I did for the 17,500 push ups is divide it up by 100 so that I need a wall with 175 bricks

For the 750 mile run, I divided it by 2.5 miles so that I ended up with 300 bricks

Once you are done with fill in the brick in your favorite color, I chose the color red


Here is what my messy walls look like



Once you finish a row, put a date next to it, this way you can quickly see when you completed that section


If you prefer a neater version, you can of course do a grid, here is what the progress grid I created for my SQL Server blog posts looks like





My goal is to write 100 SQL Server Posts in 2019, here is what the grid looks like right now, so far I created 4 post, I have colored those brick in red

You can use a progress wall for all kind of things... maybe you are saving for a vacation and putting $20 away each week... divide the amount you need by 20 and you have how many bricks you need in your wall. 

A progress wall is a fun and creative way to keep track of how far you are from your goal 

Let me know in a comment what you would use a progress wall for to track progress
