This by far the BEST bullet journal video I have watched. Comprehensive, free of judgement, and such great tips!
I would have to agree 😊👍
Agreed! And I absolutely love the idea of tracking sleep mood and stress all in the same graph! Brilliant!
I dare say but its even better than Ryder Carrol's introductions
Ditto!!!
so true! many of the ones i have watched are complex, too much going on, and require a lot of supplies.
I'm a therapist. I will share your video with my clients that feel they need more structure or for those that love planners and journals. This would be wonderful to help track moods and foods etc for all of us!
Thank you! Safe travels. 🙏
Awsome
So cool
As someone with adhd i love bullet journaling! I just cant do more than the most important things in the journal, and any decoration has to come *after* ive finished the spread, bc otherwise ill be too worried about messing it up😂(+fun stuff like quotes/doodles/writing in the rest of the journal)
Hi. I suggest u to recommend liziqi video.. I swear. Her videos helps me calm whenever my pannick attack strikes.
I dont think being this level of intense is good for anyone.
"I actually think the minimal look is cooler than decorated, but that is a personal preference." me: *hits like button with a passion*
Me hits the buttons as well including that bell icon!
When you say “start small or minimal and it will evolve as you do”....that’s the greatest advice ever not only for bullet journaling but whenever you try sth new
I journaled from 16 years to 29 years old. When I got married I stopped. I guess I didn't trust my ex not to read them. I love the vast information that your bullet jounalling tracks. 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. Bless
i like this comment a lot :) i hope you're enjoying it
I love this comment ❤️
For that reason I prefer apps with password protection. The merit of technological era
Wow. Tetap sehat dan bahagia Mbah.
Why do you scare if it gets read?
I just started a journal this year (I'm 67) and I wanted a more in depth record of my blood sugar and blood pressure readings. 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!
Ignore the other guy -- go you! Glad you're starting this great system:)
That sounds great! I'm rooting for you!
Well done, may your journaling vogaye fulfill your heart :)
That's cool. Diabeties is difficult either way:)
@@txhypnotist, how rude.
At 67 that person has probably done more than you have thought about.
I’m an old guy that’s interested in starting a bullet journal, and I’ve watched, probably, 100 videos on bullet journaling and this video is the best I’ve found for me. Thank you. 😊
ahh best of luck! I've been trying to start a bullet journal myself but I was always so overwhelmed because my artistic skills are quite lacking haha. maybe I'll finally start
Keep a diary.
I totally agree
Laughed at "I'm an old guy" 😂
Good luck! I'm starting one too
@@KateTheMama what is so funny? I a few years you will be old too.
Her journal is more organized than my life.
It do be like that though 😭
I thought the same thing man, for real
Then buy one! I'm sure after some time you'd put into it you will be at least a little more organized. She probably wasn't organized before having one. ;) Have fun
I mean, if you need to write a task for buying donuts you're not organized, just a psyco or something.
LOL If you find me anyones life that is more organized than a well organized journal let me know.
This is a form of meditation I think. Empty your brain into the journal before bed so you can quiet your brain and sleep better
Yah I personally have a time at 7:30 each night to do what i call "cleaning". It's house cleaning, but also time to clean out the cobwebs in my mind with either meditation, journaling, a nap, reading, or something else. I'm going to start doing it in the morning and afternoon too.
This is exactly what I just did, finally opened up my new journal to write in.
@@ll-couchpotato-ll that sounds like a brilliant thing to do! I'm going to sneakily steal that idea from you now
I just started tracking my moods. I'm in therapy and doing a lot of deep-rooted trauma work. Tracking my moods helps me analyze the "Why". Best self care task I can do for myself.
I like that, I think i might follow suit
Sister sherry travels, they call that stored trauma and learning about it currently.
(I placed my hope in God just like my faith)
I hope that you find more peace within your systems.
I hope that whatever you seek, you always have enough.
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.
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!
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!
“If you don’t see it, you won’t use it.” Looks to the right at my nightstand with my journals I hardly touch 😭😂
U r not alone...
I've watched like 18 hours of bullet journal videos today (thanks ADHD) and this is BY FAR the most comprehensive and overall best starter guide there is. Kudos! :)
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!
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.
I have absolutely no patience to do something this in depth yet also think this is the coolest one I’ve seen by far and super relaxing to watch you go through it.
your personal flare is earthy & intelligent. the bullet journal seems like a great way to streamline.(i watched your other BJ vids) grateful to witness your journey. 🙏
What did you do to prepare for living the life you have now? Was there books or videos that helped you? Love your videos!!
Idk how I feel about the sentence in parentheses. Yes. I giggled. But I do agree on her flare and find witnessing their journey brings me such peace
I loooove how clear and intentional yours is and free of the decor.
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched/listened to this video. I end up listening to this video when I’m writing in my own bullet journal. Really love this video
I love your habit tracker, i also use this charts for my health, sleep, mood etc.
Some of your earlier video gave me inspiration. Thank you
I just started mine to track my bills, appointments and my habits. I’m not quite ready to share it with the world yet. Thank you for sharing yours.
I’m about to start my first bujo journal. This is the best tracker system, thank you! It’s all in one place, not overwhelming, and I can finally see in one glance how everything affects one another
Omg, the analysis of how the mood, sleep, stress tracker correlates with each other, and the habit tracker is so insightful!!! Thank you !!!
I've been watching bullet journal videos for a while now to get some inspiration, yours is tuned very unique to your lifestyle which I love, and the closest I've seen yet which would suit my own lifestyle journaling journey. My favourite part is the way you track your habits, your menstrual cycle, your stress and sleep. Seeing it in a graph like that seems like it will be really useful towards makung changes for self improvement. Thanks so much for sharing :)
After many years off journaling, and having acquired a few bullet journals and not using them yet, you have inspired me to start journaling again… and using your style. Thanks!! New subscriber as of now 🤙🏼
This was so fascinated and relaxing to watch! I have been bullet journaling for about two years and you are so right, making it simple has been key for me! I love seeing how others use they BUJO. I love your style and will be looking into incorporating some of the things you have such as the way you do you habit tracker, so simple yet so effective! Love this!
This minimalist tracking system is the best I’ve seen! I’m sorting out similar health issues and your tracker system has been the easiest to implement and the best I’ve found to track cycle, lifestyle, food, stress, sleep, etc. Thank you for sharing!
Hands down my favorite bullet journal video I’ve seen. I love all of your suggestions - I’m a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and want to track similar things as you, as well as help patients figure out how to incorporate this into their lives for figuring out sensitivities, hormonal patterns, etc! Thanks!
Your voice is magical. Hands down the best voice I have ever heard via the interwebs and speakers.
Liked this alot. Best of luck
I started bullet journaling earlier this year, and have referred back to this video more than any other. The style is beautiful I find the habit trackers you’ve developed especially helpful. Thanks for sharing such a personal part of your world to help others, it’s been a great help to me and rather grounding in a sea of artfully out-of-my-reach bujo styles out there.
I am going to begin a bullet journal and have been watching videos, I really like a lot of your ideas and plan on incorporating many of them into my journal. I absolutely love how you have included pictures. And like your mood, sleep, stress tracker and your hormone tracker. I will be doing something similar. Thank you for the great ideas!!
I love the bullet journals! I mentioned it to a friend at work the other day and told her to look you up. She is excited to start one! And, I honestly want to have my daughters try this. They are both 13 with one having a cycle and depression. I believe it might help them understand their bodies better at a young age so when they leave the nest, they are a little more confident in knowing them selfs.
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! You've become my favorite UA-camr (besides RawBeautyKrisit)! Mad love from Vermont! 🌲🍁
Thank you so much. Was watching videos on bullet journaling...got a cheap one from Walmart. Got bombarded with information on YT and felt overwhelmed. Went on my balcony, said a little prayer...meditated and listened. Came back and found this video. I’m a science teacher and these charts fascinate me. Love the data and graphs. Beautiful content and beautiful beings to match. Subbed!!
The way you explained your journal is simply brilliant!!!!!!!!! I am so grateful that you posted this, especially the part describing how your habit tracker data collection works. This was really helpful-I watched it twice❤️✨🙌
I love the stress/mood/sleep tracker lined up with all the other things (foods/stimulants). I already track most of that but not in a visually useful way. Definitely bookmarking this video for future reference.
Your past video on buju inspired me to start my own at the new year. It has become my fav thing I do everyday. Thanks for the inspiration :)
I really love your mood, sleep, and stress tracker setup. Thank you for sharing your journal. Very inspiring!
I have to say. I’ve been contemplating a bullet journal for a while but the idea of it overwhelmed me. Seeing your minimalistic approach is really comforting in that I realize it’s something I can do. Thank you for taking time to explain.
I’ve tried many times to keep a consistent journal, and it just doesn’t work for me. I still love watching your journal videos!
Try again, you'll get it. Like she said, start minimalist, your journal will evolve as you do.
I find your voice and manner of speaking soothing
I really enjoyed the clarity of your journal and not needing a ton of highlighters. I hope I can take this forward. Thanks for sharing and happy travels.
I absolutely love your bullet journal method. It’s simple and clean. I stopped bullet journaling for a while. I would watch other people make beautiful spreads. I would attempt and fail horribly and it just became a little overwhelming. Your way really makes me want to get back into my journaling.
Wow. This by far is the most aesthetic and easy to set up journal I've ever seen!
This is my favorite video thus far - being in research, I loved all the graphs your included pertaining to what you consume and your overall health. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Thank you! I love your simple approach - the strength of bullet journalling is making it work for you - simplicity but with purpose😊
I have started my bullet Journal this year 2024 and have loved how simple yet complex you make it. I love the explanation , and I am taking the idea of people's birthdays. I love it.
You are living life so awesome..... love frm India !
I'm also from India!
you guys should get together n live awesomely
Same 💗 me also indian squad
Same here kerala
Hey y'all! Hello from Bengaluru
I track my habits in a very similar way and because of your last video where you mentioned that you keep your sleep/mood/stress tracker in the same spot, I decided to implement that (verse random spots). Thank you
Hey, the algorithm bought me here. I love that you track Mood/stress/sleep, and can compare to food/stimulants. That's such a smart way to monitor things! I may have to start doing this :)
I’ve been searching and searching for a template for an easy habit/routine tracker. Most were glamorous, and not for me. But the way you make it simple, x and y, on the Y you just write whatever you want to track, and simply dot when you did it on that day. I love that. And the that sleep, stress, mood tracker! Genius! I do love myself some graphs, but I’m going to use exactly this lay-out. See how it will go this year. ❤
Elsa! This is really awesome. Thanks for the inspo! Gonna order some journals and start my own. It is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time.... No time like the present eh?
💯💯💯. Shout if you have any questions. 🤘🏼
This was so helpful for me because it took so much pressure off of me and made me finally start the journal!
Hey is one journal diary enough for a year? I mean to say are there enough pages in a diary to track our all 12 months?
Hi Elsa, I've watched hundreds of bujo videos but it's yours that really convinced me to start one, organise my life, take care more of myself, keep an eye on my health and think about what I can do to improve bits of my life I'm not feeling great about. I'm turning 30 on july 2nd and I hope it'll help me make the best of this new decade of my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Your bullet journal is the best I have seen. It is so simple yet gets the job done. I love it.
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.
This is exactly how I'm planning to set mine up - with the mood, sleep, food, and BBT tracker. So glad I found this, thanks!
I really appreciate that you share with us your own personal experience (instead of those bloggers who talk much and give advices they never use).
Thanks ❤️
It's so detailed and neat too. So good to study about our own self.
This is by far the most elegant but detailed bujo I’ve ever seen. If you feel comfortable with the FAM please please please do a video on how you do it !
Interesting use of the journal... I really like the use of 30-day graphs to plot things like food/drink intake, sleep, stress, mood, and fasting periods. Thanks for sharing this.
I've watched so many of the Bullet tutorials and this is by-far the best. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
You have such a great voice, this was almost ASMR (which I love)
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.
Omg, just the right video at the right time.. i ordered a planner for 2021 this morning while I had no idea how to use it for all the things that are buzzing in my head.. many thanks!
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 strongly recommend that book, it's excellent.
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.
Thank you for such a beautiful and informative video. My husband and I are also nomads and have lived in our vintage RV for over 2 years now. I'm just beginning my bullet journal and I'm so glad I found your channel!
OMG😍 we are so happy to see you using our notebooks ❤ We love you!!!
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. 🤷🏼♀️
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.
This is one of the most comprehensive, inspirational and simple How to BUJO video I’ve seen in many years ❤️💙
Elsa, like many other newbies, I've been overwhelmed at all of the art and creativity in a BuJo. Your video made so much sense to me. Thank you so very much for a great video! God Bless
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 :)
You showed the most efficient boullet journal I've ever seen. Thank you!
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....❤❤❤
I've watched this like a dozen times - each time I am amazed and inspired. Great examples of journaling and life tracking.
"he's hot when he's all muscular" I love it lol
honestly this is the first video abt bullet journalling that i find all i want to know. thanks for the rich but minimal content.
I love love love this charting / tracking spread, what a wonderful resource. Thanks so much for sharing.
Could you please go over how you (set-up) track your sleep, mood, energy etc
Thank you for posting this.. I bought a journal, but haven't written on one page yet.. because I have no idea how to do it!! haha!!!
I’ve been so overwhelmed with all the bujo stuff. Thank you for this.
This is SO GOOD! I am not much into journaling of any kind and failed miserably over and over, still this makes me feel like I can do it.
I like to have a page that has a monthly doodle or sketch. I try and work on it through the month, but usually I end up doing it in one sitting.
So glad I stumbled across your channel today. This is exactly what I've been trying to find - a bullet journal system that is minimal, functional and WORKS! Thank you so much for sharing 😁
This is the most helpful bullet journal video I've watched so far. Your style is very compatible with the way I work. It's comprehensive and yet minimalistic at the same time. Thank you for making and posting this!
I’m new to BuJo and really like the simplicity of your journal. I don’t have the time or energy for the super artsy layouts. This is a productivity tool for me first and foremost. Thank you for sharing!
This is an absolutely beautiful journal, with some really innovative ideas for self-tracking & improvement. Thank you for sharing!
I always struggle to do this.. because in my mind I don't have enough time.. but in reality I probably do.. 😖
Yeah nothing makes you more productive than saying "I'll have 30 hour work week" thinking you're already doing it, start tracking it and realising you're not even close.
I appreciate your style with having some OCD. I haven't made tracking pages or my own journal pages bc of keeping them balanced or fear of a mistake. I really like your tracking of food and mood, stress, & sleep.
The level of self-knowledge you get from your notebook is honestly incredible! I don't think I know myself that deep but I'd like to since I'm the person i spend most time with. LOL.
Yessss! I've been waiting for another bullet journal video! I loved the one from October, and am thankful that you are showing us more! 😊👌👍😁👏🙌
Omg my OCD LOVES you for being so precise and neat 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I just bought my first Bullet Journal & I am trying to get brave enough to start writing in it. This is one of the best videos on the topic I have seen & I have watched a bunch of them. Thank you so much! I'm going to check out more of your channel now.
I like the look of your book, and I really appreciate your comments at the end of how to make it a routine. Thanks 😊
