You have inspired me to return to something I loved so much. I'm 65 now and used to live and travel in a converted school bus with my sister. Your experiences take me back to those wonderful years.

The journal gives me room to add reasons why my sugar was high on a particular morning (like ice cream after 10pm). I am also getting rather forgetful and am hoping this will help me with birthdays and such. Love your channel!

      bullet journaling is a great way to do that. I actually started bullet journaling after filling out daily diary cards for my therapist for about a year and deciding that I could start journaling as a way to track not only what’s happening but why as well as what I do about it in terms of what coping skills I use.

  • @Headtalk
    @Headtalk Рік тому +9

    As someone whose journals are entirely made up of long-form free writing, I’ve mostly been uninterested in the structure of bullet journaling. But I love your daily progress trackers and I imagine the slow and tactile process of recording each by hand helps with building awareness. I think it’s one of the most clever and pleasing things I’ve seen out of the world of bullet journaling!

  • @scrumps101

    Pretty sure I learned more about bullet journaling in this 10 minute video than I have watching many other combined. I found it fascinating that not only do you practice life as a minimalist but you also do in your speech. Very clear, concise language, no um’s or ah’s and no fumbling for words. I felt like this video was SO productive that it didn’t waste even a second of my time - and I love that! Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to get started!

    having observed how those pinterestish BuJos look like and how they are decorated I started to feel that I'm not creative and felt really stressed when a new month was about to start. I actually gave it up so many times. now I see that those guys from pinterest have nothing with the real concept of BuJoling. Thanks for your video, it clarifies the way it should be treated!

  • @Gr95dc
    @Gr95dc 3 роки тому +52

    I've been bullet journaling for almost 2 years, but in March I mostly stopped using it and by May I wasn't sure of wanting to keep using it, I got overwhelmed by my artsy style and I felt almost obligated to keep using it to have something to post for the instagram account I made for it almost since the beginning. So I looked for minimalist bullet journals and decided to be the most minimal I have ever been with my bujo for May.
    It worked! Now I'm constantly using my bujo even if it's the middle of the quarantine (in my country) and if I just have minimal things to write in it. I wish I had found your video back in April, I think your bujo is the most minimalist I have seen so far. I agree that everyone should start super simple and add things as they see fit. I started being artsy again in June but this time I truly enjoyed it even if it was something more simple than what I was used to do, and I used it just as much as I did in May.

    Elsa, I think we're on the same wavelength when it comes to organization and journaling. Rather than make my bujo fancy af with color, stickers, washi tape and whatnot like I used to do, I realized that simple, to the point, productive spreads are more my thing. I too get fascinated by the various patterns I've observed in my life through different trackers. I will definitely be purchasing one of those lil printers, as I'd like the option to include photos of special memories. Thank you for this video, as well as all the other videos you do!

    What a great idea and very relaxing. Journaling is something I’ve always done, but never as organize as this. Thanks for the tips and video! 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎.

    This video is WONDERFUL. I love how it's comprehensive and concise enough for people who don't have the time to put toward bullet journaling. I felt I HAD to comment because your trackers are by far the best trackers I have seen and gave me that 'aha' moment as to how I can track my sleep, moods, and stress. I was wondering how pick one number for mood and stress, because for me I usually have many moods/moments of stress. I'll have to think on it more, but really the point is thank you for making this video and spreading positivity and wellness.

    I started a bullet journal this year, mostly based on your spreads and some of my own creative ones. Your journal videos are my favorite because I've been journaling since freshman year of highschool and now I'm in my senior year. I've been using bought planners to journal but this year I decided to use my own. The trackers are amazing and I'm so excited to see them as the year goes on.

    I like the stress/mood tracker. I had something in mind pre-planning my own one but in watching videos to see what others had used yours is by far more effiecent and will now be stolen.

    I’ve been looking for a good cycle tracking method, and never heard of FAM. That is a game changer for me so I am glad you shared it. I love your habit tracker and monthly memories collections, too. Your sensibilities, purpose and aesthetics for journalling are similar to mine, but I’ve had trouble figuring out how to put it all together, so thank you so much for posting!

    I recently found your channel and love it. I like how calming Elsa's voice is - no stress, no pressure, no judgement. Watching your videos, I feel more positive about my life and confident in my ability to make my goals happen. In comparison, in some other channels I am more inclined to compare myself unrealistically, get down on myself, and not complete my goals.

    Journaling is a learning experience. Start from nothing or a few ideas and see what works for you. Ive been Journaling for 2 months now I get more ideas all the time from trial and error. Then I get videos like these that give me even more ideas/tips to implement into my Journal for the next month.

    I feel sorry for the people that take the time to dislike Elsa’s videos. What must being going on within someone to make them want to put negativity into something so positive & non-controversial? Not sad for Elsa, though. Whether they like/dislike it helps out her channel. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    • @erikscott5709
      @erikscott5709 4 роки тому +1

      Don't worry, I suspect those are just programs that dislike videos at random. Not sure why anyone would bother, but whatever.

      The *only* upside you can take from people who give their own time to hate is that they give more engagement to a video. which in turn makes the video itself find it's way into the algorithm of more people's "recommended" feeds which will bring even more engagement to videos/views which will help her channel grow.

    Wow, your trackers are amazing! I love how much of your journal is about YOU. Mine is mostly lists of tasks and shit to do that is for the house or other people. I never track my food, sleep, moods etc, partly because I'm in denial I think, of how much I abuse myself with junk food and little sleep. I'm a carer for my son and I take myself for granted. Your self care and awareness is inspiring and has made me think :)

    My wife and I are just beginning ours and we are grazing through a number of different channels to find ideas and instructions. I just wanted to take a moment to say that I appreciate your style, delivery, and creativity. I gleaned a lot of great ideas from your video and was setting up my first month as I watched. While I have NO PLANS to go into the detail that you do here, I did REALLY appreciate your habit tracking spread and will be using it. Also, the one week two pages spread you shared looks like it will work really well for my activity level and I have adopted it for my first month to see how it goes. So many great ideas! Liked and subscribed, of course. I hope my not finds you WELL as a lot has changed in our world since you made this video. Thank you again!

    I can't remember if I've commented on this video before, but I keep coming back to it quite often. Elsa, your voice is so calming and soothing, and I love your minimal journalling style. I wanted to do an artsy, colourful journal but I just couldn't begin. I got as far as opening the book.....and then closing it again. However.....I'm going to start small and simple and see what happens. Thank you, sweetheart. You've given me the gentle nudge that I needed. I'm now going on a journalling journey. Wish me luck....❤❤❤
