An Everbook bundle is a core component of the Everbook system, serving as a flexible and customizable way to organize various materials. A bundle is essentially a folder of folders and loose-leaf pages made from folded paper. This folder can hold different types of pages, such as blank paper, templates, checklists, and project notes. Bundles allow for easy organization and reorganization of information within your Everbook.

The concept of a bundle leverages the idea that a page can be both a place to write and a folder to store other pages. This dual functionality is key to the Everbook's flexibility and adaptability. The user can create bundles for different projects, areas of focus, or time periods, making it a highly versatile system.

Types of Bundles

  • Logbook/Journal Bundle: This is used for notes, outlines, brainstorming, and journaling. It is a place to record thoughts, ideas, and observations.
  • Project Bundle: This type of bundle is for collecting all materials related to a specific project, such as notes, checklists, and templates. It keeps all relevant project information together in one place.
  • Next Actions Bundle: This bundle is for keeping track of tasks to complete, often categorized by context, like "calls," "emails," or "errands". It helps users focus on what they can do in different situations.
  • Work Week/Weekly Review Bundle: This bundle contains materials for planning the week, including calendars, project lists, and goal-setting pages. It is a central place for planning and reviewing progress.
  • Blank Pages Bundle: This is a collection of blank pages for readily available paper. It ensures that the user always has paper on hand.
  • Tickler/Calendar Bundle: This bundle is for time-sensitive tasks and events. It serves as a reminder system for future tasks and projects.

Bundle Optimization

Customize your bundles to fit specific needs and preferences. Users can create their own bundles, use different types of paper, and design their own templates. The flexibility of the Everbook allows users to add or remove pages and bundles as needed, adapting to changing priorities.

Bundles can grow and expand as needed. When a project or task is complete, the bundle can be archived, while the active material remains in the Everbook. This helps keep the system focused on current tasks and projects. The ability to move pages between bundles allows users to keep active projects in focus.

To make them more useful, the use of colored paper can also help users differentiate between bundles. By using colored paper, the user can make bundle covers that stand out from the other pages. This is not necessary but can be helpful to quickly identify bundles. Bundles can also include a spine, which helps to organize and find them within the Everbook.

Overall, the Everbook bundle is a simple yet effective tool for organizing and managing information. It is a fundamental element of the Everbook system, offering flexibility, customization, and adaptability.
