The channel is back! Why it stopped and what's next.

- Hey everyone, happy to be back! But what happened to the channel? A lot of things, to be honest. I started a new business that took a lot of time. We had a 3rd boy (yay!) and I didn't quite have "character" energy for UA-cam.
In my mind, the "bullet journal guy" character had to do certain things for a video, and a lot of times I wasn't doing those things personally. I didn't think I could be the me that I was over the past 18 months. That's all kinda silly in retrospect - but that's how the mind works sometimes.
Going forward, I'll be sharing more of the "Matt" I am now. Less about the character and more about the man, husband, father, and creator. There will still be notebooks, bullet journals, and planning - but it won't be the character based creator I was before.
Hope you still like it, but what I'm most excited about is that even if no one likes it, I really want to make videos again. And in the end, that's the best way to start anything. Because I want to and it's fun. Thanks for watching!

The fact that there's still a pocket of the internet in which people can be actual human beings with flaws and vulnerabilities is amazing to me. Hats off to you for finding yourself and letting others feel the love. I can't wait to see what more you bring to this world. Thank you.
What a good word, I'm here for it! Thanks so much :)
I came to your channel years ago looking for bullet journal stuff but stayed for your thoughts. Thank you for your vulnerability, I can relate to deferred goal achievements. We are all on paths with offshoots taken at times. The wanderings are part of our story as well. If you publish every 18 months, I'll still be here. I enjoy simple real content. This was it. 🌻🍄
Thanks so much for the kind words!
When I find the creators on UA-cam who are just working for the numbers, I can't even watch. I think what everyone LOVES is seeing you be yourself, not a big team, we love you and your ideas. Not flashy. I've deleted a lot of my UA-camrs because they are predictable, or use shock values, or techniques to grow their channels, whatever they might be. I was thrilled to hear what you had to say today, and please keep just being you, and enjoying the process. Without that joy, what have you got? Not much. Looking so forward to your videos, and I'm signing up for your newsletter now! The one on Saturdays sounds particularly interesting to me! ❤ Xo-Julie
Thank you for that encouragement to be me :D
Welcome back. Forget the algorithm
Eff em 🙃
So glad you’re back. I enjoy your newsletter and encourage everyone to sign up. Your journal ideas are what keep me on track. You be you!
Thank you so much! The newsletter has stayed strong!
Welcome back! Missed you on UA-cam, thank goodness your newsletters assured me you were doing Ok. Appreciate your thoughts and welcome your videos regardless of production quality and topic.
Thank you so much! Happy to be back :)
Hey Matt. Chill and keep it low key conversation. Thanks for giving it another shot
Hey Tristan, good to hear from you friend!
Hey Matt! Glad to have you back at whatever capacity you’re able and willing to do. Always loved your content regarding productivity and it is tough to have a growing family! Thank you for being real, honest and transparent… true fans will stick it out. Love ya, Bud!
Thanks for the support and encouragement, Mark!
Man... I relate so much about the Beastification of videos. I had the same thoughts about how to change things up with the typical Bullet Journal videos we see and have been making. Excited to see what your videos look like as you come back into it. Let's shake it up and have some good convos and keep having fun!
Thanks Mark, I think it's really awesome you've stayed consistent and still showing up to help people!
Awesome to have you back!
Glad to see you’re back and well
Thanks for watching the comeback :)
So glad to see you back. Missed you in the community.
I appreciate that! Thanks Mark 🧡
I just want to stress that your perspective, at least on my sub feed, is so unique. I follow other bullet journal channels but none of them delve deeply into productivity. I follow other productivity channels but none of them use the bullet journal as their platform and framework. These channels might reference the other topic but they don’t break down the details like you do. While I’m sure full time UA-cam is the goal, it is also more interesting to hear from someone who is managing multiple job roles (including parenthood!) as well as UA-cam. Keep doing what you’re doing - it’s why we’re here :)
Thanks so much for this comment! Means a lot to me and it’s good to hear support for these types of videos and perspectives. Appreciate you!
So glad to se you back Matt!!! Just be you! That's what got me to subscribe to your channel in the first place. Your videos were so down to earth, no frills and that's what made you so relatable! I look forward to what you have to share again.
I appreciate that! Thanks Tracy :)
Happy to see you again. Thank you and good luck!
is so sweet to see that you are ok. nice to have you back.
Thank you Conny! Good to be back :D
Thanks for sharing, Matt! I'd love to hear more about the challenges of comparison in the UA-cam content creator space. Your honesty and vulnerability is far more compelling than fancy editing. I personally am interested in starting a channel one day but am intimidated for the exact reasons you mentioned.
Thanks Helena, I'll keep sharing about it!
Hey, welcome back! You gotta do you. It so happens that we all enjoy your content, and what you have to say. So keep on going whenever, and however it fits in with your life.
Some great comments here. I have missed your voice, ideas, and your presentations can be understood by different ages. Even if I have trouble keeping up.
I found you a few years ago, honestly I don't watch all the time. But when I need bullet journal and productivity info, you are the first one I watch, new and old videos, some I've watched a few time. Also, thanks for the newsletters and the honesty. Best wished for 2024!
Hi Matt - Wonderful to see you ... whenever you have the time to make a video! Really appreciate your being real about the challenges of putting content “out there” while taking care of the other parts of your life, especially family and faith. So appreciate all that you do. Wishing you and your family a blessed & joyful holiday season!
Thank you! Will do!
Welcome back Matt! Thank you for the honesty. I know that for me, one of the reasons I subscribed to your channel is because your videos always felt more like a conversation than a commercial. Looking forward to what's next...
Lots of conversations coming your way then :D
Welcome back!!!!! Here’s to doing you!!!! And not looking back…. onward friend!!!! Excited for this chapter!!!!
Matt, I look forward to participating with you on the road ahead.
Welcome back! ❤ I started bullet journaling after I came across your video 2 years ago. I have also taken two of your courses and am also a member, ❤. You have helped me on my journey more than you will ever know. I am excited to be on this journey with you!!
UA-cam never told me you were back. Only found out as I was searching back for one of your old videos, for a refresher on GAP & WRAP. So glad to see you back. 😁
Matt. Thanks for sharing your reasons for stepping away from UA-cam for a while. I can understand how you feel about not being as "perfect" as other UA-camrs and how that can make you doubt yourself and your work. I sometimes experience this feeling when I do my own Bullet journaling. I see how nice a lot of UA-camrs design and decorate their Bullet journals and I don't want to make mistakes trying something new in my journals; however, I have found out that when I try certain things and they don't work, it only seems to waste only a couple of pages in my journal, but what I learn from my mistakes only helps me get to another level of productivity. Again, thanks for saying things that I can understand.
Matt, what a beautiful video. Thank you. Welcome back. Thanks to you and your encouragement from the '10 video challenge' two years ago, I am still here on YT with my writing / books channel that I started with your guidance. Plus a second channel, a faceless channel. Looking forward to seeing your new content as and when you choose to post. Right now I need to find the link to your newsletter. Welcome back! Nick
So glad you are back! Thank you for being vulnerable and transparent. Continue to be you and rely on the faith you have as a believer.
I'm so happy you're back! I want simple, minimal , practical content. I've love your videos in the past and can't wait for more
I watched a Tony Robbins' 6 day seminar on how to use social media (about 6 months ago) and the biggest thing I took away was find the tiniest niche that speaks to your heart as social media speaks to billions of people, there are thousands who are your target group. Your niche can't be too small.
Sarra Cannon, an author with over 1M books sold and creator of UA-cam's HeartBreathings, says write what you love, not what sells. Or you'll surely burn out and fail to thrive.
It's okay to pivot and change a niche. But you certainly can't make your niche bigger to include a bigger scope of people.
Sarra also has a 90 day planning method and says to be realistic in your planning. If you don't have time for family, two weekly newsletters, a business AND UA-cam. You don't have time. Time is fixed. You can't make more. It's not additive. Be realistic. What's changed that now you have time for UA-cam? (Rhetorical question.) It's gotta be more than your mindset.
💖🌞🌵😷
Glad you are back. I like the casual style, format and productivity information you publish. I don't expect a standard scheduled publish date. I check in several times a month and will watch what ever you have published since my last visit. Thanks for your time and drive to help others. Tanks for your content. It resonates with me and keeps me coming back. Until next time.
Your videos helped me considerably back in 2019, back before the whole damn world ended - I still have that first BuJo I ever attempted with your stickers proudly on the cover. I was so thrilled when I saw this upload from you. It's almost like things are finally, truly coming back to normal - that's how important your videos were to me back then. Thank you for all that you do.
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but welcome back!!🎉
Yay, thank you!
Same man. I just want to enjoy it and whatever happens is what it is. I want to help one person. When I came to that, it kind of just flowed better. Good stuff here.
Great to see you back…can’t wait to see where you evolve to next.
Welcome back Matt!
Happy to be back!
Glad your back Matt. Your videos are the best and most relatable.
It's good to have you back!! I've followed you for years specifically for your simple, no-nonsense journalling videos (I got intimidated by all those fancy washi tape and stencil spreads). I kept up journalling for three years thanks to you! I fell off the wagon a couple years ago but I'm just dipping my toe back in and it's so nice to see you're still here/back! I'm going to go back to basics with my journal spread, like you with your videos, and I hope it works out for both of us! Have a good new year!
Great to see you here! I’ve always enjoyed your content here and in your newsletter. Look forward to more soon.
I found bullet journaling through your channel and one other, I’m still journaling and use mine minimally for productivity and more so to track habits. I love your videos and love reminders of other setups, being new content or old.
Hey Matt, happy to hear from you! I look forward to your new content! :D
I am so glad to see you again. I do get your newsletter. But really like seeing you again.
I’m glad you are back. Can’t wait to see the new content.
I appreciate your update, it is human and showcases flaws and feelings many of us share.
My starting my planner channel felt insurmountable with all the pressure of making the "right" videos or content, and i had to remind myself this is a form of creating and community and at times showing up is what matters most.
I just love being in the community and steer toward genuine content vs click bait. So i show up even with my basic b content 😅
Happy for you Mat!
I was just looking to see what happened to you! I still think about our mastermind call a couple years back. While I wasn’t able to join, it stuck in my head so much I’m figuring out how to put together a Coaching business. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks, good to be making videos again :)
Hi Matt, Glad you are back! Always enjoyed your videos. Since it has been a while I know things have changed in your planning process. I would love to hear what is still working and what has changed!
Welcome back! Missed your advice and authentic content! I’m not drawn to hype so following you was just time that I enjoyed what you had to say. Keep it real 🙏👊 I’m glad you are making new videos . Gear review was great too!
Glad to have you back! Excited to see your next video, regardless of production quality!
Much appreciated! Thanks Joseph :D
Welcome back Matt. Love that the "real you" is back. And hats off for the vulnerability. BTW: love your haircut, looks like you've been through quite a journey.
oh and congrats on the 3rd boy. Wishing you lots of sleep ;)
Welcome back!🎉 I'm so excited you're doing these again and your honesty is so appreciated. I so agree with others that have already commented. Your channel is real and that is why I too have stayed.
Looking forward to this next chapter. 😊
Thanks Maureen, happy to be back in the UA-cam mix!
Great to see you back on here Matt!
Thanks Andrew, appreciate you buddy!
Great to have you back Matt!
I love the 'keeping it simple' and really human approach on your channel. I live with chronic illness, so productivity seems like a weird space for me to be in, but your videos are really helpful to me. I just got started with bullet journaling this year, so watched a lot of your channel this time last year and found simple set ups and time management stuff massively helpful in trying to figure our how to pace myself and focus on the stuff I want to still be able to do. That is way harder than I expected, so helpful, straightforward, friendly tips and tricks are exactly what I needed.
I struggle with flashing lights and jump cuts so someone just talking to me and actually showing me how they do stuff is the most effective thing - and it feels really friendly. Look forward to seeing what is coming up, whenever you are ready!
Happy to see new content. Can't wait for more!
Thanks so much! Appreciate you saying hi :D
This gives you authenticity and legitimacy! Glad that you have backed off from being a “big UA-cam” person and went back to roots. For productivity, few of us are top -10 gurus. Only 10 are! This is productivity for the rest of us!! Ordinary people with better than ordinary productivity. Can you speak about best integration of bullet journal and digital tools and phones. How to bridge the platforms without overwhelm and having too much too many places? I like your normal-person scale-it’s authentic!
4 years ago I found your channel, got into minimal Bujo, stopped in 2021 and now I want to start again and set up my Bujo for 2024. And your channel @mattragland is the first I tuned into to get back to Bujoing, looking for tips, and new ideas for productivity. Welcome back Matt, thank you for sharing, keep doing what you doing.
And I hope you do a Bujo 2024 set up!!!
Glad you’re back, but honestly I didn’t know you were gone, maybe because I get your newsletter. Anyway, looking forward to productivity and bullet journal stuff!
I appreciate your efforts. Thanks
Hi Matt, I'm an urban sketcher as well as a bullet journal user. In the last couple of years I've noticed in my own work and that of certain people I follow, when the producer does what feels comfortable and natural for them, it shows.
Thanks for the affirmation!
Hi Matt! I just discovered your UA-cam channel a week or so ago, so I’m thrilled there will be more coming from you! Love your vulnerability and honesty. Thank you.
Ah barely a miss for you then 😆 Thanks Cathy!
Welcome back, I've missed your videos.
I come to YT for the connection to things I care about, not for the production value of the videos. I was so happy to see this video pop up in my feed! You are awesome no matter what content you bring to us. I found you a long time ago when I was exploring bullet journaling, but I stayed because I liked your honest approach. I also subscribe to the newsletter and appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Appreciate the realness Matt. Just be you. Authenticity matters.
Thanks Shawn!
Awesome! Glad to have you back! Just roll Matt - the people need knowledge - not a production!
Oh I've got some knowledge to drop 🎙️
@@MattRagland Yay! I ready to absorb it!
Welcome back! I love your videos about BuJu and minimalism. You should not stop! Mr Beast? What the big deal? Please keep creating new content because it is of high quality. Thank you for inspiring us to do even better.
And congratulations on the birth of your son!!!
And I would add: 'don't forget to RELAX.' 🎠
Wise words, thank you so much!
I started following your channel a number of years ago - about the time I was trying to understand how bullet journaling might work best for me - distractions… life… stuff stopped the forward progress, so here I am again. I have journaled for years - no, decades. Have had to - self employed and the notes/journals kept had direct impact in the work I had been doing - still have many of those - all for the last 12 years, but going back to the early ‘90s for one reason or another.
Still the need to perfect, or at least commit to, a method is important - partly due to the concern that in my early ‘70s now maybe the little grey cells that store needed information are less than they were at the beginning of this millennium, so there’s that. Plus I have a project or two where their success is critical to people I care deeply about, so no screwing around is my daily mantra.
Engaging with those who may not directly be connected to my vision but are sharing their own path with integrity and generosity is, to me, worth significantly more than the perfection in the editing, lighting, imagery or how much can be packed into a 4 minute video approach to UA-camrs of the day.
Keep on doing what serves you best and know it’s up to us, the viewer, to determine what works for us and to use it and respond with appreciation and support where possible.
Nice to see you again Matt. Your authentic self is how we connect and I thank you for sharing - refreshing!
I appreciate that!
I really appreciate you, Matt, for being so forthcoming about this experience. I aspire to have a You Tube channel & videos like this help me set intentions regarding my purpose & goals. Thanks so much for sharing!
I've just found you, love your content, please keep going. In this AI world i prefer people who are Human. Thanx for sharing this post. To put this into perspective, I've had a youtube subscription since the beginning and this is only my second comment. Keep going. Looking forward to where you take us next. 😊
Looking forward to seeing you back here, man!
I've taken a similar approach and applied constraints to simplify so I can just focus on uploading quality content without all the fancy editing that was adding way too much friction.
Making videos has been way more enjoyable 🤘
Thanks Corey! I'm excited and I think it's a great time for "personal" UA-cam videos again :D
Every once in a while I keep hearing about this Mr. Beast. I've never seen him. He's not in my little crafty-journal corner of UA-cam. But YOU are, and it's so good to see a video from you again, Matt! It doesn't matter if you're not "mixing it up" with your BuJo content. Different people at different stages benefit from your content. Beginners learn something new, and non-beginners get reminders and inspiration to keep doing it. Repetition is a part of learning and making something your own. 🙂
Glad you're back!
Good to see you back.
Hi Matt! I never react on YT clips, but for you I'll make an exception.
Last year I started to use BuJo. And I love it. When I search for BuJo explanation clips I rarely see a 'real' user. I mean a user who has a family, kids, a job, sports ect. Finally I saw your channel. I was glad to watch clips with great tips about BuJo from a familyman! Simple and effective! A BuJo method which I can use during my daily struggles as a familyman.
So, it's good not to match the other UA-camrs. They are good in their own way. But so are you! Stay just the way you are!
Keep up the good work man!
Greetings from another dad! (from Holland)
Welcome back!! 🎉
It's wild, because I found your channel less than a month ago. I noticed only today that your last post was 10 months ago. I thought, "that sucks. I liked his stuff." Then I got a notification that you posted like an hour or so after I saw that. 😂
I do want to say though, I was looking for some ways to organize my life, and I found your channel somehow. You were my intro into the concept of bullet journaling, and I've subsequently looked into You, Ryder Carroll, Mark your pages, etc. betwixt the myriad of artsy calendar content.Your channels are little gems in a sea of content. It has helped me a ton already. Of course, I'm new to it and still figuring things out, but I'm glad you are back and look forward to what's to come, even if it is wildly different and unrelated to bujo stuff. Do whatever you want, and don't feel pressured to stay in one lane if you desire to go a different direction. Good luck, and I wish you success.
Glad you are well :) Your channel has always been one of my favorites! It's you being simply you! It's relatable! It's real and I love that! Welcome back!
Thank you so much!!
Matt, I've been following you for what seems like forever! Through all the journaling stuff, your time at ConvertKit, and even from before all of that. Your newsletter is one I always read. I'm also a UA-camr, and this video was seemed to pop up at exactly the right time for me. Thanks for doing what you do! Just signed up for the dadvent emails too!
Amazing! Thanks for following all this time!
I really enjoyed this honest update - quite refreshing actually, to listen to something real. I am inspired by what you shared because I have been going through something similar - having a 3 month break from building my business because the imposter syndrome was so strong and my mental health was affected. The phrase you used 'the courage to continue' stood out to me, I hope to do the same. I always liked your unpolished style, it feels so much more relatable (and also so full of practical value!) then the polished/produced videos of bigger creators. Also, I want to note that repeating the same ideas and techniques is something I enjoy in your content - it helps me actually integrate these habits to my life. Sometimes it takes a while to implement the weekly review for example, and seeing updates of how you do it every time helps me take on that practice. I hope to hear more of your insights on productivity, notetaking etc, both the new stuff, and the same ideas and practices you've shared with us before. Good to have you back Matt :)
Thanks for all the kind words, and I hope you find the courage to continue also! You can do it!
Glad you are back!!
Yay! This made my day! Awesome to see you back here, Matt. Everything you said is so relatable, thank you for sharing the truth of it. Keep it real, as you have been!
Welcome back
Happy to be back 🫡
Real is always better Matt - excited to see you real!!
Thank you Sarah! So good to hear from you 🧡
Welcome back Matt! Sometimes we have to get out of our own way and let things happen. The comparison rabbit hole can truly bee the thief of everything. Keep pressing Matt this work has so much value.
Yay! your are back! :)
Matt, thanks for sharing. I’m so glad you are back.Not just what you produce but how you present is so good. I enjoy listening to you.
My partner just bought me a seriously nice new pen, and i was revisiting your podia courses. I found you through analog journaling but honestly watched everything you created because i just enjoy You, and your strategies. Just keep being you, and i’ll keep on watching. So so happy to see you’re back on YT, and cannot wait to see more from you Matt (whether it’s journal focused or not!)
Welcome back Matt
Welcome back and congratulations on all the other things going on in your life. I can so relate to why you took a long break. It's so easy to psyche ourselves out. You may be the kick the gets me back to posting, too, focusing on what's fun about the process. Here's to a great upcoming 2024, with whatever you do on your channel!
🎉🎉
Thanks Jeff!
Thankyou for continuing make this produtovity videos and content. I find you because of bullet Journaling, but a stay because i like your way of teaching and comunication. So keep going and we see in the future. One question, how do you set the project management in your work? What are your tactics? 🙌. 👍
Hey Matt. Just be yourself and don't worry.
That's the plan 😅
It's calming hearing your honest words and vulnerability - but also inspiring how you stick to your values in your content creation. I have been experimenting with social media for quite some time now, but never really stuck to anything. Mostly because of a mixture of being intimidated by the quality required to be produced AND the content seeming to have to become shorter and shorter and following specific algo requirements. So I really enjoyed listening to your perspective!
Soooo happy you are back making videos😀 I loved watching your videos! I use your minimalist journaling all the time!
Glad you like them!
Hey Matt! I have been enjoying your videos for years! You gave me simple, effective journaling & time tracking methods that helped me to be better at what I do & I still use them today. I understand the need to take a break & step back. It’s important to recognize that need & I commend you for it. I’ve had to do it too. I look forward to whatever you decide to share with us in the future! I’m glad you’re back!
So great to see you back, Matt!
❤
I never, well almost never, comment on videos, but I really wanted to thank you for this. This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched. I got here while searching for productivity and bullet journaling content. I’ve been considering starting a UA-cam channel for awhile, but I always stop myself. It’s important to me to be authentic with my audience, and I never felt right with all the things I thought I was supposed to do to be successful with this medium. It’s not really me. Put all that together with my age (50+) and my looks and I had just about given up. Let’s just say I’m not exactly small and I only have one eye. I lost my right to cancer about 10 years ago. But I think I’m starting to come around. This video has given me another little push in that direction. I’m now a subscriber!
Hey Judy, hope you can take the big leap to start a channel! I’ve also recommended just starting with IG stories as a way to get used to being on video with a smaller commitment. Cheering for you!
Saw the notification about your favorite books of 2023, not a big deal if the video doesn't go out, but I'm curious now! It's like a tease.
I guess there was a question about why we're here? Well, this time, the book video.
I'm not a bujo person, I guess I'm more interested in how you process things. I'm more of a messy functional planner akin to Amanda's Favorites (she's a planner reviewer). Only I create my own layouts in a discbound when I feel I need structure, otherwise I'm scrawling in a notebook. But I was intrigued by insights you had. Like there was the time when you talked about setting up mini routines that were triggered by a cue, not a time. I think this might have been around the Full Focus Michael Hyatt period, I dunno. That walking down the stairs to get coffee was what intialized your work from home day. This is entirely from memory, I could be wrong. I just recall I was trying to be consistent when I had a variable schedule, and had come across the concept, but was trapped in this idea that it had to be this special cue instead of based off something I did naturally. I felt a bit stupid to not think of that on my own, but, you know, that happens. It was a small thing but very helpful!
Regarding feeling like you're not measuring up to bujo perfection. We're all intimidated by them! And it can be discouraging for others too. It's really reassuring when people aren't like that, and still can successful in a way that makes them happy.
Nice to see you back, I just got so busy finishing my degree that I dropped off watching a lot of content. Took this AuDHD awhile to get my MSc Thesis completed, but I am happy that I finished it. Your productivity tips, and your ten min time blocking.
