    Thank you for the excellent reminder to get back to the basics of the BuJo and how it is used as a focusing tool for the important stuff of life. Taking those brief moments on a daily, weekly, monthly basis to sift out what is new/interesting/ or a shiny distraction.

    Two things to thank you for here. 1, to you and Louise, thanks for the reminder / idea to re-purpose the future log (my digital calendar is much more useful for the old purpose) for a collection place for those sparks of ideas. Not only is it good to have a place to find them again, it helps to be able to put them down. They can be weighty to carry if you are afraid you might forget them. 2) Thanks for the reminder that it is OK and in fact good to adjust your process in light of new tools and light experience.

    I love this! I've recently cluttered two pages ahead of my current bujo page with a few sticky notes because the thoughts & lists don't fit in my daily running journaling that I've adapted for my own. I'm reminded with your video that I need to just create custom collections for them so they can have a static home! Here's my question/request: We are getting close to closing out another year and I always like to do a few pages of revisiting what worked and what didn't for the year, corral unfinished tasks and ideas, and do some goal setting. I'd love to see some of your ideas on how you do this! Or, if that's better left to the very end of the year of start of the new year, how about some ideas for keeping the holidays manageable and enjoyable?

    Can you write another book pls? So you can put what you just talked about in it. All the new little ways, tricks and tips. I refer back to the book you already wrote constantly and watch and rewatch your videos. This has been life changing and I look forward everyday to spending time in my bullet journal. It is something that is just mine, my space, my life and projects or just my thoughts with fun collections. I used to get hung up on all the art and aesthetics, before I realized for me, that wasn't important as getting down to basics and what my real needs were. Clean, minimal and my favorite pens. So, because I am a visual and hands on person, a new book or work book, would be ideal and absolutely fantastic. Here's hoping!

    Wow Ryder, you are in fire recently with all those great videos. I was disconnected to the Bullet journal in the last few months using my Todoist application but it was so easy to procrastinate and reschedule tasks days after days where in my bullet journal, just because I would have to rewrite them, I was more prone to complet them. Someday is named in honor to GTD method in my opinion and I saw another related term that I love which is "Master tasks list" which is more oriented on action again in my opinion. Thank you again. I really think I will fall back in love with the Bullet journal method because of you. :)

  • @dlgm161
    @dlgm161 Рік тому +2

    Thanks Ryder. My challenge is there are some items on my Someday/ Future Log list that I never feel excited about but are so important that I feel guilty about my lack of progress on them. For example, house DIY projects, family holiday planning, music instrument practice, and retirement plans and projects. Even during monthly reviews, I shy away from them. I have a busy, happy work and family life and have used Bujo for years. But this is something I would really appreciate help with! Thank you.

    • @bulletjournal
      @bulletjournal  Рік тому +9

      this is a great question and you're definitely not alone on this. It is hard to look at the whole list at once without being overwhelmed, so sometimes it helps to look at a piece at a time. For some this is helpful: Look at which small to medium sized house project would make the most difference to your everyday living. Then, sit down (with yourself or someone) and talk through a few of the steps. It helps to be as specific as possible ("choose paint color" "ask friends for carpet installer recommendations"). Sometimes, walking it through will help calm things down and it becomes more realistic to plug into your schedule.
      Another approach is to identify what of those things on your list really matters to you right NOW/this YEAR. And then promise to revisit the list again at a specific time.
      Sometimes the approach is to let something go entirely and be honest with ourselves. Sometimes we avoid the task because it's just something we don't care about, or we feel obligated and our mind is resisting. Podcaster Kendra Adachi will say, "Make it matter, make it easy, or let it go" - maybe that can help you here

    Loved your video! It helped me to focus on what to do with these random ideas that pop up. Currently, I write them on the same pages as my daily log which I've made as a signature for a month's worth of daily tasks - one side has lines and the other side is blank for the random stuff, which includes the things I'd like to do SOMEDAY. Hmmmm.... I need a key to make the Someday stuff easy to find so I can migrate it monthly - maybe a tiny triangle! I look forward to watching more of your vids.

      I'm not Ryder, but I can share how I do this :) I start with a subset of my regular bullets: mostly dashes for notes, peppered occasionally with task bullets, and simple lightning bolts for ideas - as well as indicators like the urgency asterisk, and the magnifying glass to indicate a research topic. I then utilise indentation heavily, to indicate sub-notes on different topics. I also take my notes on a given class or book in a custom collection which should then be indexed for easy access. Hope this helps!

    @jakeweatherholtz7026 Рік тому +4

    Thank you so much for videos. Been a fan since 2015 and love the new content. One thing I’ve struggled with and want to ask-
    Context:
    When doing daily logs, I have done a few different methods for my work week. One is where I do a brand new daily log, one day at a time, I wrote all my list of things I need to do and events I have, all getting it on paper. The other one is where I do a 2 page spread with space for each daily log pre planned, that way I can schedule in thing that aren’t due for 2 to 3 days out on those days. More like a daily log on a week spread.
    Q:
    My question is, do you recommend doing a daily log one day at a time or planning it out in the future like I have tried before? The reason I ask is because although it’s nice to plan things out to see a week at a glance, I unfortunately Begin treating my daily logs just as a to do list only, rather than the mindfulness practice that I have come to understand it to be.

    • @mayamartin7359
      @mayamartin7359 Рік тому +2

      In the past, Ryder has always strongly advised against pre-planning daily logs, because we never know if we will need three lines or three pages for our rapid logging through the day. We *do not* want to have to edit our scribblings there based on space allotted. A weekly log can be a nice thing to have if it provides value, and that can certainly be divided into a calendar for the week - but it should be distinct from the space where we give ourselves indefinite room for real-time rapid logging, or what I've heard some refer to as their 'dirty dailies.' Your point about mindfulness practice there is the critical point - we need mental room to achieve that aspect, it's what sets our bullet journals apart from a mere dayplanner ^_^

    There's so many ways to use a notebook. And no perfect way. Seems to always be a work in progress. But I guess that's part of the appeal. I used to make someday custom logs all the time. Putting them in the future log makes more sense as my future logs have always been left empty. Daily and weekly and monthly logs and reflection is where it's at. With a few custom logs when you need them.

    I have a question that has left me stuck in my BuJo journey. I like to write out morning journal notes and/or prayers. These are not bulleted items. They are written as paragraphs. When I use BuJo, daily log items seem to get lost. I could use a separate notebook, but then I will have up to three notebooks to keep track. Do you have a suggestion of how to incorporate regular journal type entries in the BuJo?

    • @stunnell
      @stunnell Рік тому +3

      Flip to the last page of your BuJo. Turn your BuJo upside down. Now you have pages you can use for your journal. Number these pages starting with a B (B1, B2, B3) so you can index them or reference them elsewhere if needed (e.g., a journal entry gave you an idea you want to act on).
      Because you flipped your journal, it will still feel like you are writing normally. You also don't have to worry about wasting pages because you incorrectly estimated how many pages you needed. When your traditional BuJo entries meet your journal entries, it is time to start a new BuJo.

      I have a habit of scanning my index at the beginning of each month; this reminds me of all of my collections.
      I also note relevant collections in my future log and monthly logs. For example, when I create my "gift ideas" collection, I reference it in my November and December future log since those are the months I do my holiday shopping.
      I have a "Task Dump" collection where I collect things I need to do but not necessarily now (very similar to the Someday Ryder discussed in this video). Every monthly log contains a reference to this list (e.g., "Current Task Dump: pg 57). If you have collections you want to keep active each month, you can list them either on your monthly log, or as the first page of notes after your monthly.

      Hi Kiki! This is totally understandable and I'm sure many people can relate to this feeling. For me, it helps to have one clear intention for WHY I am bullet journaling, or what I'd like my life to feel like. Then it helps prioritize what I'm doing, or help me feel like the tasks that I find unpleasant actually matter (I don't really LIKE to do the dishes but I do want to show care for my partner, so it helps me stick to doing it). All I can say is to identify what makes the process enjoyable and easy for you - maybe that's always having your notebook out, or setting a daily alarm to jot things down into it, or doing it along side something you do everyday like a coffee or a morning skin routine?

    Hi Ryder,
    After reading “Getting things done” by David Allen,
    I am trying to add not only captures but also sub-bullets in order to make items actionable, without creating a custom collection, what ideal way could there be to track progress toward action of the captured ideas, informations, tasks. Migration allows me to track the items completion but not if it was effective in achieving the desired outcome. I hope I made sense. Thanks.

    • @stunnell
      @stunnell Рік тому

      The custom collection is the easiest way so it is all together.
      I'm trying to think of why you want to avoid a custom collection and I'm coming up blank because of how threading in a BuJo works.
      There is a video on threading on this channel. In short, it is using page references to tie components in a collection together (e.g., you filled up the page you set up as the collection, so you create a second page later in your BuJo, start it with a page reference to the previous collection page, then return your first page and end it with a reference to your new page... now your collection pages have threads connecting them).
      Is it because you want to record tasks daily? If so, you treat the collection as the master list of tasks and info. When you copy a task to your daily log, you reference the collection (e.g., "Apply for grant, see pg 22")
      Are you not wanting to copy a block of notes from your daily to the collection? If so, draw a colored box around the notes and reference the notes page in you collection (e.g., "contractor mtg notes - red box pg 124")
      If you are wanting to note effectiveness of something towards your goal, you can write notes/observations in your daily, color box it, and note the page in your collection.
      You could essentially turn your collection into an index for all tasks, notes, observations, etc. related to that one project/goal

      The weekly list I make is based on a few things - the tasks I migrated from the week before, the relevant tasks from my future log, and other tasks i think of throughout the week. I also know people who add a "Next" section on their weekly list so they have a place to put the tasks they think of for the following week. does that help?

    Could I use Bullet Journalling to keep track of my diet without constantly having to calorie count?

      You can do a eating log either as a separate collection or as part of your daily log. Just write down what you are eating and when you are eating it. Put down as much detail as you want, i.e. handful of M&Ms or 25 M&Ms. This has helped me not only keep track of what I am eating, and how often I am snacking between meals. I has also helped me recognize when I am eating because I am hungry or when I am eating for another reason, for example when I am stressed or bored.

    Hi there you mentioned that you’re using the future log differently than what you designed it for originally, can you tell me how you’re using it differently? I know you said there is a link in the video to explain this, but I watched all the videos in the link and I can’t see or find the explanation of how are using the future log now. Very curious and sounds interesting. Thank you. Does anyone know the answer to this?

      As he said in the video, he is not using Future Log for logging future events anymore, because he uses digital tools for that. However, he uses it to put ideas and future tasks(?), so that he can return to them in the month he thinks he would have time to dedicate to them.
      That's what I understood from the video. Feel free to correct me.

    My Question is: how do you deal with and recover from losing your current Bullet Journal?

    • @stunnell
      @stunnell Рік тому

      Ouch!
      I did that once. It sucks. If it is lost, all you can do is start a new one, and scour texts, emails, etc to recover what you can. The good news is that a lot of the conceptual notes you took will probably allow you to remember a lot of key information because the act of writing notes help memory. It might just take a while for current experiences to trigger all the individual scraps of information (and when you remember something, note it in your new journal). If it was really important, you will be able to remember it or recover it.
      I learned my lesson and I make sure to regularly archive my BuJo. The official BuJo app includes a tool that allows you to take pictures of every page in your BuJo so you have a digital backup. I have a habit of archiving monthly. This has an added benefit of being able to access information from previous BuJos no matter where I'm at.

    Do you have a method of dealing with a thought that has become repetitive and intrusive?
    Journalling works when the thought is temporary and you just need to get it out, but if it starts coming up repeatedly it sometimes just seems to give the thought or emotion more space to live in and stay there.

    • @stunnell
      @stunnell Рік тому +1

      Schedule a time to deal with the thought or emotion.
      E.g., "I need to focus on my report right now. At 4PM I will focus on what is going on with..."
      Telling your mind that you will deal with the issue at a set time will often get your mind to ease up a bit.
      When 4PM rolls around, spend some time with the thought, try to work through it. Intrusive thoughts have to be dealt with, but you can stop them ftom intruding on your whole day.

      @sirseth1087 Рік тому

      I think it’s really important to clarify with yourself what kind of thought it actually is. Is it a negative idea about yourself, a catastrophic concern about the future, or just a random unpleasant feeling?
      Sometimes our thoughts can give us insight into what we are feeling or not addressing more deeply. They can even be a distraction from the real problem (trauma, lack of self love, etc.) But in cases of OCD, PTSD and even ADHD, the persistence of the thought can simply be due to the repetitive interaction we’re having with a meaningless thought. If that’s the case, that the thought is just an irrational fear, or random unpleasant thought then pushing it away and journaling about it are both counterproductive. You need to be totally indifferent to it. Observe it. Don’t wish it away, but don’t question it. Daily meta meditations have helped me a lot in this case. Journaling made me hyper focus even more on it. In order to determine what actually matters and let go of suffering we must stop identifying with thoughts. Focus on your values, and be indifferent to constant mental chatter. It’s very hard at first but you can build new neural pathways that help you focus. I hope that helps somewhat. ❤

    How can Bullet Journalists share their calendars with their partners? Digital calendars make this easy. You can just set up a shared online calendar. But in the offline world of BuJos this is more difficult. Do you know anything that might help?

    • @stunnell
      @stunnell Рік тому +1

      The BuJo isn't meant to be your only tool. Your BuJo is YOUR record of events, notes, tasks, etc. But you have to use other tools when you have to coordinate with others.
      My family has a Family Calendar. Each person is responsible for recording their own events on it. Each person is responsible for checking it when trying to schedule something that will affect someone else.
      So, my BuJo has the dates of things I will be doing or be involved in. I refer to the Family calendar anytime I need to see what others are doing.
      My end of day/week reflection includes copying over my events to the family calendar. I don't copy my meetings (my spouse is at work too, my kid is at school, my mtgs don't affect them). But I do copy when I have something scheduled with friends so my family knows not to plan on me being home for dinner.

    I want to join the community but Ryder has priced it way above my threshold. Feel a bit greedy there!

    • @stunnell
      @stunnell Рік тому

      I understand your feeling, but essentally calling him greedy (probably not what you meant to do, but it is how it comes across) isn't the best way to get what you want. You would be better off sending him a private message explaining specific reasons why you are intrested in joining, explaining it is out of your price range, and then asking if there is something you could do to get free or discounted access.
      My understanding of the pricepoint was to encourage investment in using the BuJo method and discourage people from joining who aren't really devoted to improving their practice (people who will comment on the method but have never actually tried it). There are other ways to demonstrate investment without paying (probably part of the reasoning behind giving away memberships to those who ask questions that prompt a video). I'm sure you have something to offer that could get you access. Good luck!

      Has Ryder communicated your understanding anywhere officially? I still don't understand the entire rationale behind your argument. I see where you are coming from and good for you for paying for the course. And, Ryder can price whatever he wants as a creator. As a customer, I can decide to purchase, criticise or ignore it.
