    I can't get over how Neat everyone writes! I wrote like that maybe at school but not now! I have large handwriting and as I'm creative in my work, I'm naturally like that in my journal. I also try to keep space for the odd doodle.

    Sometimes we get caught up aesthetics that we forget the true purpose of the bullet journal, and that is functionality. Thank you for the reminder to customize our journal and tailor it however we want to fit our needs.

    Thanks, I have journaled and planned in many different styles. I find the kind of journaling/planning need to match what you use it for. Full on planners and agendas when I had demanding managerial jobs. Etc. But Bujo is truly the most flexible, I find. Just getting back into it from a long gap.

    I had tried to use a bullet journal years ago, but it always has an inconsistent layout, or I forgot and ended up losing my habit. but now looking at the way you use it I found it very practical. Good video!!!

    Hi Brent! Watching this video straight from the future, lol. Man, I loved your minimalist version of Bujo. I also follow Matt and your Bujo are the best inspirations for me. This tool is very powerful and has made a huge difference in my life. It's great to fill in the sheets daily, to have the feeling of life moving forward. It helps me relax, be less anxious and have fun too, with the freedom to create any collection. Thanks for the excellent tips. I will definitely adapt it to my Bujo. Hug.

    I've just started with journaling and am still figuring out what works for me. One spread I'm settled on is spending/bank account tracker. I'm not very good with money, so physically tracking my spending is helping.

    Hello Brent. Thank you for your great video. I have started several time a Bullet journal but always left it as it was a slavery to have all lined up, coloured and eyes pleasing, You just again showed on this video, that sometimes less is more and I pretty much like it. I have already started very minimalistic bullet journal and so far it works. I will implement some of your ideas as well. Great work.

    I've been struggling to set up a simple and effective system, but I'm glad that you have shared yours which is simply just straight to the point ans simple. I think previously I've made no much use of the journal myself, but a few days ago when I sat down to work out my finances for this year it really helped me to focus with things. So today I will surely get back to it and make a start again on this month... it really helps focusing on stuff that needs to be done. :) Thank you for the video and I hope all is well. ;) _\\//

    Thank you for this minimalist approach...it's perfect. I'm curious tho, I didn't see a future monthly page; do you not include that? Also, I don't see daily pages. How do you keep track of other types of tasks you must attend to? I'm actually going to use your set up ideas to create a Health/weightloss journal. Thanks so much again.

    • @BrentGalloway
      @BrentGalloway  3 роки тому

      Hi! Thanks so much! I only track one month at a time. At the end of each month, I create the next month's layout and set the goals and attention for it. Then for daily tasks, I pull my weekly goals and break them up even further on a post-it note as an actionable task. I also have a video all about that as well! ua-cam.com/video/IcQehxFr69c/v-deo.html

  • @aussenbords4984
    @aussenbords4984 2 роки тому

    Great idea to use the monthly as the actual journal. Really cool!
    One Q about the weekly breakdown: how much of it do you do at the beginning of the month as opposed to 'on the go'?
    Thanks!

    • @BrentGalloway
      @BrentGalloway  2 роки тому +1

      Hey! After the first year, I found that I rarely used the weekly breakdown. Since then I've actually modified it to just a single spread for each month. The left page for daily journal and scheduled events. Then the right page for habit tracking, work goals, personal goals, and braindump notes. Now I don't have to flip pages for one month and it takes up fewer pages for the year!

    Hello, Thank you for explaining how you work your bullet journal. I'm a teacher and I want my students to start with bullet journals. I wasn't sure if my middle and high school boys would want to do one. I'm sure that a lot of my girls would, they love drawing and coloring on all the work they hand in. I just wanted to know what to expect or what to advice the boys. I think you have a great set up.
