## Details

## Overview

The Daily Plan Bar is one of the most popular time tracking methods used in bullet journaling, serving as both a planning and tracking tool.

## How It Works

The Daily Plan Bar is essentially a visual timeline of your day:
1. Draw a horizontal or vertical bar representing your waking hours

5. Use different colors or symbols to categorize activity types
