Thank you so much for this series! I cane across bullet journaling and never got answers for any sort of format or what is involved (not to mention handwriting-envy to no end). All I've seen is that its short, sweet, creative, and lots of bullets. I cannot thank you enough for explaining what a bullet journal is, what is involved, etc. I'm already coming up with ideas to keep me on track, and I already have plans to start tomorrow.
Thank you Kara for these great series. I like the Bullet Journal for many reasons and one of the things I love is the possibility of trying different things depending on your changing needs and your linking. I find tons of inspiration in your videos that provide me with ideas to improve my planning system. So again, thank you very much!!
As always your video was great and the entire series was awesome. I learned so much about bullet journaling. I was so excited and patiently waiting for the next one and the next one. You are very encouraging and your explanations was very easy to follow throughout the series. Again I appreciate it and I am sure the are many others who do as well! Thanks for sharing.
I've just gotten into bullet journaling recently and a lot of that is thanks to you! You've been very helpful to me, thank you. I use bullet journaling to keep track of my creative projects and keep myself motivated. Love it.
I love the idea of having space for a project planning and just indexing it. Thanks for the video!
hello Kara ! writing from France here 😊 i've always been a notebook, planning, stationery and pens addict. feeling a bit like a freak testing and collecting all these supplies. I can't believe it took me so long so discover all this great resource and community online ! (thank you maternity leave). anyway i love your work and videos ! thanks a lot !
Thankyou. I finally started bullet journaling thanks to your 101 series! You are really inspirational thanks.
I am from Brazil and I just LOVE your videos !!! I really want to start my own bullet journal and you're definately an inspairation for me! Besides that, I must say that your voice and English pronunciation are so delightful. I loved them!
Thank you so much for all this amazing explanation. Keep up the great job!!! Congratulations for the channel!
This series was so helpful! I am just starting a bullet journal and my life is pretty busy, but I am extremely excited to see how I can work this style of planning into my life.
I don't like writing with a pencil in mijn bujo. I'm kind of in love with al the imperfections it makes it so much more personal and gorgeous to me!
Please more about GTD! Let us see how you plan projects. :)
Thanks so much for answering my question. Love you Kara
Thank you so much Kara...your videos have been a gift to me. You are talented, and very generous to share your knowledge with us.
I'm now addicted to bullet journaling because of you! And here in Brazil it is not common, I don't think I ever saw anyone bullet journaling or talking about it.
Everyone that sees me doing it in college is just like "wow, what are you doing? i love this, so much effort into cuteness and organization!" Hahah and I'm just like yeaaah I know, it's because of a youtuber I love watching! 😘
This was a great series, I will definitely be coming back to it when the need arises. Thank you!
Thank you so much for doing these videos! My sister-in-law and I are just getting into bullet journaling and your channel and videos have been so helpful!!!
I was completely scared to try the move to a binder system. I am starting this month in a Carpe Diem. So far I am in love and am looking into moving everything into it. My Bujo is a frankenbujo. I do a dutch door system for weekly and daily pages. Instead of a task list (it happens on occasion) I just journal instead. Memory keeping and getting my thoughts out is at the forefront for me. What I love is that I can change it at any time when it isn't working for me.
Jessica Upton what is a Dutch door system?? Love your comment the ideas have inspired me. I want my own *frankenbujo* 🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing and taking. time to. answer our questions!! Greatly appreciated!!!!
Hi! Your necklace was clicking against the mic the entire time (maybe position it differently next time please?). I have a couple superficial questions (I can usually find another one of your videos for any answers about the bullet journal stuff). What's in the jar behind your right shoulder(to the left on the desk) and what are the clippy things on the shelf (led lights or something to do with your camera down angle view of the desk)? Thanx for the informative video! :) I use a discbound notebook as my planner and I can journal as much as I want to and just put those in another notebook every once in a while. ;) just a thought. You can just not index your journaling and put it in other rings (when you are in your filofax).
Great video, but the necklace sound. Better spot would have been to the side. But great Q and A regardless.
I totally agree! Unfortunately, I didn't realize it was an issue until editing. :(
I'm so grateful for this comment, I thought I was going insane lol
Earendilgrey hahaha i kept wondering what that sound was!
Ha, I am glad someone figured it out, at first I thought she was clicking or capping a pen in her lap!
love the series. 😊
i use to bullet journal i start watch the series im back bullet journal again great series
Thank you, Tina! :)
Thanks so much for creating this series! I randomly stumbled across one of your earlier videos a couple of months ago, not having heard of bullet journaling at all before, and it's been incredibly helpful especially as I juggle a lot of writing deadlines. This bullet journal 101 series was a lovely intermediate step on my journey and I really appreciate all the hard work you've put into it.
Kara thank you for answering my question. I feel the same way with the switch. Thank you sooooo much for everything.
Good sound except the necklace 😩
True.
Linda Ackberger kill me!!!!! 😱
Sadly I didn't realize the problem until I got to editing. Sorry about that!
Boho Berry It took me a bit to figure out the noise. I thought my headphones were going out. 😸 Thank you for the series. It was good to get more tips.
Linda Ackberger you saved me too. Lol. Kara, you're just keeping as on our toes. ;) thanks for the fantastic series! Very helpful!
I loved this video, you covered things I have been wondering about but wasn't sure how to ask about yet.
I have one suggestion for future videos, make sure your jewelry doesn't rattle or tap against your mic.
Thank you for sharing your passion.
Hi I have a question I'd love for you to answer if you don't mind! :) How do I set out my daily logs when the weeks cross over between months? E.g. If the 29th, 30th and 31st are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and the rest of the week has continued in the next month, how do you set it out whilst still keeping the months separated in a bullet journal? I've only just began bullet journaling, and I'm struggling to find anyone who shows how to figure out this problem. I'd super appreciate your help, thanks so much!
You're the best, Kara!! Thank you!!
I agree! Excellent Q&A! You really covered s lot of ground! Thanks so much!
Great series!!
Thank you for this video! 😊
Oh II watched all the videos and I didn't see where to put the collections. So, my question is this; where in the journal do you put your collections? Do they go after the future log at a glance or do you put a a repeat set of collections after each month at a glance entry?
Elle Saunders I think they just go in wherever you feel like and you just reference it in your index do you can find it. Hope that makes sense??
Love your hair!!!
I just loved this series and I thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this series. It answered a lot of questions that I had about the bullet journaling system and made it so much simpler than what I thought it was. I hope you don't mind answering one more question. I hope this will be considered a "simple answer" kind of question. I currently have a Happy Planner and would like to start bullet journaling. Would it be a better idea to go ahead and use both systems until I'm finished with my Happy Planner, discard the Happy Planner completely and just use a bullet journal, or just wait until I have used my planner up before starting a bullet journal? Again thank you so much for posting this series. It was both educational and fun to watch. I look forward to your videos every week. Thank you in advance if you have time to answer my question as well!
Chelsea Lachelle what about bullet journaling in your happy planner? With the discs you're able to customize and add pages to your liking...
Chelsea, I currently have an Erin Condren Life Planner and I have my bujo in addition to it. I have recently made the move to put my bujo into a Carpe Diem and I am even considering putting my planner in with it. My advice is to start with what you have, whether the happy planner, a cheap notebook, or go ahead and purchase the bujo you want. You can always use both systems until you find what works best for you. I hope you are able to find what works best for you!
Please be safe with Hurricane Matthew headed to Florida this weekend!
Does anyone use a separate bullet journal for work and personal life? I feel like if I combined both I'd go through a note book every month. I also don't know if I'd have enough personal stuff to keep in a single notebook.
great video, and thank you for planning out this series! i wanted to ask: have you ever experienced any smear/smudge with the Faber Castell PITT pens when you go over them with Tombow dual brush pens or Mildliners (if you use these)? or even when you happen to brush your hand over a freshly drawn line.
The PITT pens dry pretty quickly, so I rarely smudge them. As long as I let them dry for a bit I don't run into smudging when I go ever them with my Tombows either. :)
Boho Berry Thank you for your reply! I experience smudging (although quite slight) with my Sakura Pigma Micron liners, and especially so with the thicker ones. I was wondering if it was a property of pigment liners or something to do with the brand. Thanks for your insight!
Another great video Kara. Nothing to do with planning whatsoever but what do you use those 4 colourd yarns on your shelf for?
Gemma F she knits 😀
Rachel is right! I knit & crochet :) That yarn, in particular, is super-thin mercerized cotton that I use to crochet earrings :)
Aha. I also knit and crochet and almost bought some fine yarn a couple of weeks ago but wasn't sure what I'd use it for.
Kara, I crochet too! :)
the pen and pencils, I use Mechanical pencils for journaling or hand writing in general 95% of the time because I absolutely hate running out of ink, they're erasable and I don't really care for archiving my journals. If I can find a nice fine pen that I can refill eg. a fountain pen, thenI'll consider saving up for one. Ps.:I love your series so much I went ahead and got me my favorite notebook and started numbering them. I can't wait to start using it.
Andrea, if you haven't yet, check out the Pilot Frixion pens. They use heat sensitive ink and you erase with a plastic nub that is at the end of the pen. I bought them for my 15 year old son who was using pencils for the same reasons you stated and I stole one from him---they work much better than I expected and the writing experience is much nicer than I thought it would be!
Thank you for this series! My first full month of bullet journaling was Sept & you really helped me calm down & just (try) roll will it (not something I'm good at ;p).
Sorry if this is off topic but what is that black clippy thing on the hutch of your desk? Is that the rig you use to film the overhead shots? I'm a behind-the-scenes junkie so it caught my eye. ;p
Thank again!
Thanks for the kind words! And yes, that's a holder for my iPhone for when I'm filming overhead shots :)
Hi,
I don't know if you respond to old videos' comments, but thanks in advance if you do. I was wondering, how do you log things that you need to do but have no required date or time? see, I am a student, which means my scedule is pretty flexible outside of assigned projects and lessons i can't miss. that leads to having things i need to do "pretty soon" but with no real deadline, like calling someone for a paper i need to get, or to get my faucet fixed or whatever. and i dont like putting them in my dailies bc i know there is no way they're getting done for a few days and migrating things all the time stresses me out. But not writing them down untill the day I can actually do them stresses me out more, as I'm afraid of forgetting about them. how would you solve that problem?
again thanks in advance for taking the time to read and reply
Will you be doing a BuJo 102 series in the future, dealing with some more advanced subjects?
I definitely plan to :)
I love the clicking sound from your bracelet. It is ASMR therapy to me.
Hi Kara, In recent months, I got a lot of inspiration from your videos, and I started my own bullet journal. Unfortunately I write from right to left in Hebrew, and in Israel I haven't found a notebook with dot grid. For now I print A4 pages, and everyday I walk around with a stack of folded sheets of paper, which makes writing difficult than it should. I wanted to ask your opinion, how can I find a notebook upside down? I'm asking for your opinion because you have much more experience than I. Thanks for everything, You are wonderful!
I use a notebook with a 'standard' grid. You don't have to use a dot grid unless that is the specific aesthetic you are going for. :)
You can also do some basic book binding techniques and make your own book. It is pretty simple and requires just a few supplies. Tons of videos on this site for it. I know Sea Lemon has some for a bunch of different styles.
Reverse the natural order of your journal. I mean you write your index/first page on page #249 until you arrive at page #1 that will be your last one 😊
Alba Toledo why?
kim over a tiny way
Great video!
One little critique though - when you spoke, you moved, and when you moved, something kind of clicked/made a noise a lot. I guess it was some of your jewellery? That was very distracting, at least for me (ADHD person.) :(
Wilddornrose yeah. Her necklace is right on the mic. Front of her shirt.
FYI: caheir is French for notebook and is pronounced kie-eh :)
cahier
cant listen to this as the necklace clashing on the mic is driving me crazy :(
This isnt really related, but have you ever messed up on a bullet journal spread, and realized only after you posted a picture of the spread on your blog or instagram?
I recently made this awesome spread...and it was only after I posted it on instagram that I realized I wrote "September" instead of "October". *facepalm*. I'm debating just deleting the post.
Yes! Check out my very first video here and look for all the comments about how I spelled Europe wrong :) I still haven't corrected it to this day. The bottom line is mistakes happen. Just turn the page and move on :)
Boho Berry Oh no! And thank you for the advice
hey can you please extend your challenge on tumblr too
Sorry I couldn't finish. The crackle was too intense for me.
Scrolled to the comments to try and see if anybody else was hearing the noise and knew what it was. Lol.
it was her necklace hitting the microphone.
Jennifer Dubay yeah, I noticed when I got to the comments. It didn't bother me once I figured it out. I just thought I was crazy for a minute. Lol
Yeah. Wearing a chain, that is on the same height as the mic is a little bit...#nowords
I keep hearing a clicking sound.
It was my necklace clicking against the microphone. Sorry about that!
Can't focus on what you're saying because of the distracting necklace/microphone sound. Thumbs down. GOOD GRIEF!
It's definitely not that big of a deal where a thumbs down is necessary. Geez. Her videos are still great and extremely informative!
