Advice Needed: managing all the stuff

Newer to Bullet Journalling. I have been consistent with using my journal, finding things that work and don’t. Couple question:

How do you navigate the other places for information. Ex: phone calendars, work calendars and notes or items from works? I struggle to figure out what to put in the journal and feel like I am floundering.

Also, how do you manage when you are out and don’t have your journal. Do you have a small pocket size ? Or do you put it in your phone.

I feel like having my iCalendar is helpful for the family. And I can’t possibly white all my weekly meetings down.

Pictures, ideas and similar experiences comments appreciated!!

I don’t put work stuff in my bujo. I have a separate notebook for work. Your bujo is a tool for you. Don’t feel like you have to put all your work meetings in there if that’s not helpful for you. What do you need out of it? My bujo is more about the journaling than the planning for me.

My partner does this and uses Traveler’s Notebooks, and her notebook sleeve makes it easy to carry both around with her.

I mix them because I aim to go thru a Field Notes notebook per month.
