    Extremely valuable video. Thank you for showing how you can do multiple days in one page. Specially useful for "chill days" where you don't have a lot of tasks. I also really like the idea of a monthly spread with days in a list in one side and projects/tasks in the other.

      I’m a girl who loves the artistic stuff but it can get overwhelming for anyone, this is the difference between bullet journalling and journalling in general, I’m actually going to have a small bullet journal like this for tasks and then an artistic journal/personalised handbook, my brain can’t do the artsy stuff mixed with efficiency, I’m too much of a perfectionist to use my artsy journal to jot down quick notes, and too chaotic minded to flip through a huge complex journal to find the simple everyday tasks, I admire those that can do both in the same journal 😂

      Ditto.
      My first Bujos were on old notebooks and so on, and while they weren’t pretty, they had all I needed.
      When someone gifted me up a decent enough journal, I sought the videos here in YT, and even those that are supposed to be “minimalist” require more effort and need waaay more drawing and lettering than I care to do.
      I actually became paralyzed for fear of messing up pretty pages, and stopped.
      Now I’m starting again.
      Tour video helps a lot, because its minimalism is true to the original.

    Also, as a side note, I'm now prepping my third year BuJo; looking for ideas and methods to tailor my journal for positive outcomes. An analog space for clarity in a cluttered digital world. Your suggestions in this video really helped me.

    This is the best understandable explanation I have found and I have watched and searched tons of minimalistic (supposedly) videos. I am saving this one.
    Trying to bullet journal, I personally have found it frustrating to have like things separated, to have everything mixed together, like collections scattered amongst calendar/daily pages, etc. So I decided for me it has to be in a ring binder rather then a bound book. (Even though I'm left-handed. I just turn the binder to a bit of an angle and write with a back slant on pages to the right of the rings, or remove them to write. But I have to back slant on pages on the right side in bound journals anyway.)
    What I'm doing is rather a hybrid between a traditional monthly weekly planner for events, and bullet journaling daily pages and collections, trackers, etc. This video is going to help me move further away from the traditional planner. I will still keep collections separate. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this perfect intro video..

    • @markyourpages
      @markyourpages  7 місяців тому +1

      I'm so happy that this was helpful for you. And your method sounds awesome and I love that you are making it your own and making it work for you! Depending on how mayn pages you need, there are some cool binders like Plotter that have small rings that have helped with being a lefty. But if you method is working, go with it. I also just saw a ring binder that only clips and the top and bottom and it makes the whole center part more open. Us lefties need options.

    The only place where a daily log kinda fails me is delegated and waiting for tasks. For those I create a "waiting for collection."
    If I delegate something open ended it usually doesn't fit i within a linear daily log. I learned this trick by adapting David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology. 😉

    • @markyourpages

    Awesome video. Thanks for posting this. I’ve got a digital notebook (Supernote A5x) on the way and I’m going to stand up a Bullet Journal in it once it arrives. Thanks for keeping this clean and focusing on method rather than aesthetics. It’s great to see I don’t need to be a doodling and calligraphy expert to make use of this system.
    What are your thoughts on work/personal items? In this example your (seemingly) work related email was along side washing the dog and you brother’s birthday. Do you recommend running one journal that holistic or multiple based around work/personal?

    • @markyourpages
      @markyourpages  2 роки тому +1

      That Supernote A5x looks pretty cool! I've always wanted to give one of those types of "notebooks" a try. As for the approach to mixing work and life, I have found it personally easier to keep it all together. I only just recently separated my social media from my bullet journal - and it's not horrible, but keeping 2 different notebooks can be hard. Follow up and let me know how you like Supernote A5x.

    Another question:
    My organization lives and dies by our Gsuite calendars so all of our meetings and tasks that take up a lot of time are expected to be in that system. This helps keep us all coordinated and productive and makes it easy to know what your peers are up to at any given point.
    My question is: Would it be recommended to also have all of that information in the bullet journal? Or, does the journal become more of a detail oriented to-do list and notes while the calendar houses the events? What’s the best practice of using both concurrently?

    • @markyourpages
      @markyourpages  2 роки тому +2

      That's a good question. I too work in a digitally focused workspace where tech is heavily used this way. I like to think about my Bullet Journal as my own personal todo list and space. I do work between both spaces so that I am not keeping my team in the dark, but I also dont like to have to always be in a screen to do my work. I think finding the balance is good. I also think that having a morning and evening routine to review your bujo and your digital spaces can be a good way to start and end a day and keep them working together.
