Stipsy, that was what struck me also. I am not as crafty as Elsa, but made my own tracker on excel and printed it. I started tracking today, and already noticed a few things about how what I eat and how I move effects other things.
This bullet journal set up is far by the best I have ever seen. I was suffering from moderate and severe depression for 6 and a half months until a couple of weeks ago and now I'm ready to get better. Time was frozen and when i wanted to go back to see what i was doing I simply didn't have anything to look at and compare. I didn't have a system, a good one anyways. This system you've got is perfect to recover from depression. For the first time in months I feel exicted. Thank you for sharing.
If you made this as a blank journal with all of the templates laid out I would buy it for sure. I would love to track everything like this but I am too much of a perfectionist to make it myself, it would take up all my time!
If we could just get the layouts in a pdf file, that would be very helpful. I would love free ( of course), but would also be willing to pay a reasonable amount.
I would also purchase it, even just the template to print sold on your website in a 5×8 or 8×11. I literally spent two hours making an excel just like your journal, but it is not nearly as pretty. I am tracking things like digestion, pain, and tinnitus also.
Can you say more about how you track your mood sleep and stress? Hours of sleep? Or quality of sleep ? Mood based on what? Daily average if you have a high and low in same day ? Are you tracking the actual stress to your systems or your efficiency in modulating it? Have you tracked dreams or creative flow ?
Hi Elsa, I am totally blown away with how detailed and comprehensive your bullet journal is. It is wonderful. I especially love that you are detailing your moon cycle. For me, being a witch moon cycles are tied to our power ie. when we need rest, when we feel like we can conquer the world, so too speak and when we go gung ho on projects or art etc. I have all my past specific moon diaries which are available for the Southern Hemisphere. I will be starting my own bullet journal next month as my mood gets quite low on various occasions so by documenting what is happening in my life at those times I might be able to figure out the moods. Also food does play a huge part in our moods, sleep etc so I will be looking at diet. As I said Elsa for a woman this is the most comprehensive bullet journal I have seen to date. Thankyou for that. Michelle
I seriously believe your BuJo is the most useful BuJo I have ever seen. Others appear to take so much time that people are spending more time journaling than they are LIVING! You, on the other hand, are living, and the BuJo is a tool that helps you do so!
I am blown away by the clarity of the data you gather here. I am so impressed by how easy it is to see correlations. So many BuJos seem to be more about being creative or aesthetic porn than self-awareness. I'm really impressed with this and want to steal some of your ideas, especially this year, which has destroyed me emotionally. Thank you so much for sharing!
The insights into your health and wellbeing are fascinating. Tracking woman's health is so important. I have tracked mine for many years using an app. I planned my baby around the small timeframe of fertility that appeared on the app and it worked first time. I have a 5 year old daughter! You would make a perfect data scientist. I love your jourmal and the video!
Hey, I needed to comment so please know what I am saying is 100% genuine and not just to get your attention. I have literally watched so many bullet journal videos and every night there I sit trying to make it "the best' when all it did was stress me out so I gave up. I noticed minimal ideas but I kept trying to be artsy and amazing to get attention. lol I watched a lot on minimal ones too but it wasn't until I see this yesterday and I am here again cuz you helped me so much and I am finally just doing it with a black pen and its amazing. You inspire me so much, thank you
Elsa, your journal layout looks like art work, and I love it. I am inspired to be more thoughtful of my day. I was doodling for a while and it helped me write better and actually think more freely. Thank you for your hard work editing these videos.
Hello there, still working on my massive hiking video. Hope this is something you can enjoy in the meantime. Do any of you guys bullet journal? What are your favorite types of spreads?
I just started to bullet journal because I have anxiety I like particularly love trackers. You are so inspiring so I will be trying the new spreads you shared! I also have two kids in elementary and they also do sports so I need to stay stay super organized. I ordered ceremonial cacao and used your code! I can't wait to try it in my morning coffee! I soak up your videos love your content keep up the good work! P.S. my kids love watching with me they like seeing Kamp🐕💟✌
Just got I to journaling at the first of the year. But the journal/planner combo I have doesn't quite meet my needs. I look to move to a bullet journal when mine is all used up. I am VERY interested in your Menstral cycle layout I could definitely benefit from that, Question: What thermometer do you use to track Basal Body temp?
I love all the data you collect! Clean and organized. There is something about putting pen to paper that is satisfying. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Love this. It sounds like you maybe read Taking Charge if Your Fertility, which was one of the most empowering books I’ve ever encountered. I hope someday it becomes a health textbook starting in middle school. Thanks for sharing
AS A recovering human, gratitude is the secret ingredient for me having a wonder filled, happy, mindful life...it can turn INSTANTLY my melancholy...so happy to see its the theme of your journal..love your travels...you've escaped. Congrats.
That fertility tracking is amazing. I never thought about diving in to the level you did. But being in pre menopause this might help me tons figure out what my body is going through. Ty for this insight for sure going to start doing this.
That was a great video Elsa . Very informative I really like how you tailored the journal exactly to your needs. It made me think about how I NEVER think about me. How I always worry about everyone else. My husband , my kids my parents my patients where is ME? I actually cried after watching this video and thinking for a few minutes about it. Thank you you touch people in ways I don’t even think you mean to or realize! Love Stephanie Lee
Girl,..you are wise beyond your years!! What an inspiration you both are to so many. I’m 51, I love being frugal and I hope more people will realize how important it is to live within your means or even less!! There’s way too much wasting in this world. Thank you for sharing your lives with us 😘
Finally tracking pages that actually track meaningful data! I thought I was the only one that tracked my food excercise exercise, mood, sleep and hormones and use the data to see how everything is connected. Meaningful and worthy of the time it takes. I love your simple approach to journaling.
Just seeing this now. Your comment about taking all of your info to a doctor but then having to heal yourself broke my heart. My husband and I go to a clinic that’s all across the country that would love to see all of your data, it’s called the Wellness Way. Your info about your cycle was especially intriguing to me, especially healing after being on hormonal birth control. Thanks for sharing all this!
What you're doing with your bullet~journal is self affirming. I've been keeping a detailed, diagrammatic ~journal for 15 years. Few people I know are detailed oriented enough to keep a daily, tracking journal. It's an incredible, centering routine. Like you, I also track health related issues. I've been doing intermittent fasting (8/16 hrs.) for the past year, and have tracked my progress with monthly blood work - enormous improvement with my lipid panels, hormonal ranges and average blood sugar levels (HbA1c). Intermittent fasting has become a joyful practice.. ,been feeling more energetic. i'm sure we'll derive many future health benefits. Keep posting on your progress. Thanks for the share
Wow! So absolutely organized! So aware! Can't wait to see your hiking video! I used to track some of the things that you do in your Journal but nowhere near to that level. I used to have years in my adolescence and early 20s and even in my late twenties, that my monthly cycle was horrendous. When I was a teenager I would have something every day of the month. And in my late twenties I developed severe food allergies, and at that time I was tracking food. Super impressive what you are doing. Makes me rethink the thoughts of maybe just starting it up again someday. Hope you all are doing well. Super great video Elsa!
I have been keeping a diary since I could write, but never been very consistent with it. This just shows how important it is to remember the little details of the day. My brain sure can't hold it all, so I'll let the paper do the work. Thanks for the writing itch.
Other than your fertility tracker, I've practically adopted your method. I'm in love with the mood graph. Having to track my anxiety and some ailments. Thanks so much for sharing, this has been life-changing.
That is a lot of tracking, but I love it! I've actually been looking for other ways to track everything possible as far as my self care, mood, sleep, menstrual cycle, mental and behavior health, etc.and have it all work together. You've done a great job with that. Thank you very much for sharing your bullet journal with all of us. Blessings to you. *Hugs*
@@ElsaRhae I am interested in hearing you talk, because what you say is worth hearing. Thank you for making this video despite your nervousness . I appreciate your doing it.
Elsa this is the best bullet journal i've ever seen. I am delighted to see the detailed tracking you perform. This can only enhance your agency. i would love to see more of these videos.
I am completely fascinated by your habits tracker and the way you track your sleep, mood, and stress. I’m trying to think of a way to do something similar to help me figure out my weight loss struggles. I love the idea of tracking different elements and then looking at how they correlate.
Your bullet journal is amazing! I love how you use it to help care for yourself. This is something that my journal is missing. The menstrual trackers are very interesting.
Thanks for sharing your journal and also for the reminder of how important food/sleep/exercise/meditation and self awareness are to a healthy body. Until recently, I have treated my body like a vessel to bring self pleasure, without regard to its health needs. As I age, poor choices of the past are catching up with me. Also, life has become extremely stressful, which is adding to my body’s breakdown. I have recently changed my diet and am working on incorporating meditation into my day. I am seeing signs of hope that it is never too late to change, and never too late to see results. 😀 You are an amazing young woman, and your lifestyle is an inspiration. 🌸✨
Elsa, seriously impressed with that journal. I write songs when inspired and since finding your channel the universe has been nudging me to write a song called "Something Elsa". Would that be weird? I/we are also looking to sell and hit the road for at least a year... creativity doesn't do so well when it's locked in a cage.
I will write that song since the chorus won't' leave me alone ;). Just for fun, check out the song I wrote (in the homepage slider) for our business website - banjocatcreative.com. Keep your light shining but keep a little for yourself - don't burn out little sister.
Hi! Just found this video, I think it's super interesting! I did however feel the need to point out that while you are correct in that you only have a small window of higher fertility, you can become pregnant at any point during your cycle, including during menstruation. Misinformation is a large cause of unwanted pregnancies, so I thought it was important to write this comment.
This is absolutely true but knowing your body ( température, sexual fluide /cervix consistency) tends to limit the risks. When you become pregnant outside of the usual window, it means that you had an ovulation outside of the usual window, so your body gives you signs. But you are right in that it's not a 100% sure method and we need to be aware of the risks. Also sperm can stay active several days inside the female body so intercourse before ovulation can still lead to pregnancy : one must predicts the ovulations several days in advance, wich is do-able but can become tricky when outside of the usual window. I have followed my body cycle all my life (without a bullet journal) and this has been my only birth control method, and I am happy that way. But it implies knowing your body real well and being ok with the very small risk that the method fails (it has always worked for me). So it might not be for everyone.
You are still only fertile for a small window of time, the time of the month that happens can vary massively from person to person, and also month to month
I have been making journals my whole life and I am so excited to see yours / your ideas blow mine right on out of the water! Thanks for getting me excited about tracking again!!!!
Wow! Journal I never came across I love how document everything things going in your life, and health tracking everything how u healing yourself without going to the doctors
There is so much helpful information in this video not only on living, but how to track what’s happening in life. Thank you for taking the time to document the process.
Thank you for talking about the fertility awareness method. Women deserve to know how their body's truly work and being able to take the decision to go off hormonal birth control without being shamed over "not taking control of their fertile life". It only takes 7 to 10 days a month of abstinence (or using a barrier method) to feel your absolute best for 20-22 days a month. And this is FREE so we really need to spread the message to women with small or no incomes so that they can take advantage of this magical method as well! Source: Me. Eight years off of birth control, 0 whoopsies. 👌
So excited. I got my dingbats journal today. Dark orange with a tiger, dotted lines. I've been keeping track of a lot in a phone app but Elsa's bullet journal will work so much better! Thanks for all your inspiration!
Stumbled on this while looking for spread ideas for Feb. Obviously, the cycle piece isn't useful for my journal, but I learned something totally new that I didn't expect to hear. :)
Wow this is amazing. I love the way you create your bullet journal, a big inspiration for me by the way. I think more people should see this and get to know their body better. Thanks for sharing your privacy!
Wow that is an impressive journal. Your mind is so detailed and you are really good at logging everything in such a neat and tidy way. I couldn’t even invent that system let alone draw it. Plus the dedication to record it. It’s so simple and easy and tidy anyone could understand it. It would be areal benefit to share your findings with the scientific world. Those journals are amazing 😀😀😀
I track my mood stress and sleep in my bujo as well and its so volatile and unstable and seeing yours be so stable and predictable is inspiring me to try to get a more constant amount of sleep and stick to my routine because thats my biggest issue
I’m new to your channel, may I say I love the way you ,Baron,and Camp live your life,How lucky you both are,that you have taken a leap of faith and live the life you dream possible,you are a beautiful family,and I love that you share a glimpse into your life style
I truly admire when you share these kinds of things with us! It really helps us all to get re-centered and see that a little bit of effort really goes a long way! 🌻
could you do a real-time version of this so we can follow along? your voice is so calming, i think it would be really great to be able to set this up “with” someone
I've been through the same thing... I tried to use all sorts of colours in my Bible study stuff. And it was distracting and overwhelming. I had to just use black pen and paper, that was it. It was the best thing I did. And now that I'm starting a bunch of habit trackers, I do want to use the, tombow dual brush pens (as I'm into watercolouring). Just to give it a bit of a pop of colour here and there on: borders, headings, and checking things off. I just hope I don't get too obsessed over the colours! I'm definitely a minimalist with everything, but what ruins it is my mind is both indecisive and impulsive which makes me constantly change my mind!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your trackers! I have a condition (CVS) and am desperate to record and track my health, diet and supplements. There are so many trackers for brushing your teeth and watering your plants! All of which are useless to me! Your trackers are inspired and may actually make a difference to my health and help the lives of me and my family. Thank you so much 💓
Your trackers are incredible! I clicked on the video because what I'd seen in the thumbnail looked like a fertility tracker, and this is also my jam (although I find apps more convenient for this purpose than paper). So this was half-true after all, as the image itself turned out to depict your sleep/mood/stress tracker ;) Which is a great idea, especially beside a diet tracker! You gave me food for thought. I know this system wouldn't exactly work for me as I'd like to note how much of what I consume, rather than if I consume a certain thing, so this would need to be more advanced, and I've no idea how I could measure my stress levels, but this idea is definitely worth trying!
Girlfriend, we are kindred spirits! I track a lot of the same things: meat and dairy (ideal zero), coffee (ideal 2 per week), sleep and mood correlations, etc.
The correlation you found between all of those things is really cool! Also, just the organizational level of it speaks to me on a deeply spiritual level!
Wow! A type of personal documentation and research resulting in valuable information for all of us to benefit from...valuable and I'm sure very satisfactory for you. I also love the creativity. Inspiring...
This is a really amazing way to capture yourself throughout the days. Really big props for sticking to it. Seems as though you’re progressing along nicely, I love it! Super inspired.
Ive come back to reference this video several times since Im trying to track my health in more detail due to some issues Im having. Thank you so so much for sharing this.
I've been bullet journaling for a number of years but didn't have much tracking success. Thanks for this video explaining how you do it and the benefits! I'm going to give it a go again!!.....Love your videos! Vicki
I loved it! I’ve been following your channel for a while, dreaming of one day having my own little scamp ! I would absolutely love to see an in depth video of your fertility tracker, set up and logging. I am looking for ways to make my bullet journal more useful and helpful for my health. Thank you for sharing !
This was so helpful!! I'm trying to track all these things as well but was always overwhelmed at how to make the layouts and have everything fit and still look simple. Thank you so much!!
I love this! Your bullet journal may be "minimal," but it is so chock full of information! I love all of the practical insights you garner from your trackers. It's the 1st time I really see the purpose and usefulness of tracking ... gives me something to think about. Thanks for sharing!
I love how obsessive this is! It's so interesting and good! I love seeing it on paper. I have lots of little notes, but nothing organized or outside of my brain. This seems very helpful to get it out and onto paper.
I have to be honest, I took a bunch of these ideas 💡 Your bullet journal is awesome, and I’m glad the world has creative people like you to set the path haha.
Thank you so much! I came to your channel for rv layout ideas but I'm staying for all of the inspiration and self improvement ideas that you so graciously share! Huge thanks!
I am so inspired!!!! Thank you so much for helping me realize what I need to do better in 2020 to get my health and well being back on track... I'm having issues with mental health and general happiness and I think it's because of bad eating habits and over sleeping...and I needed to make a change from 2020 if I wanted to live better and your video just popped on my recommendation....what I love about this bujo is that it's so very practical!!!! And like you mentioned this really does help love yourself better and know yourself better...I'm ranting I know...but I'm just so excited to stumble across this channel! Thank you again!
Thank you for a great video about journaling. I've been journaling for a year now and I am still learning about myself and how I want/need to do. Your videos have helped me greatly. Thank you!!
I just ordered my first bullet journal! I've watched so many videos and yours are by far the most helpful! I'm very messy and not artistically inclined, so I really appreciate that you don't fill your journal with cutesy doodles; you keep it practical and minimal. Watching others' videos, I was beginning to think you couldn't bullet journal without an art degree 😂 I was wondering if you might put all your bullet journal videos into a playlist for us bujo newbs to binge watch... Thank you and I love your lifestyle!
I just had a visit with the cardiologist...interestingly, in conversation he mentioned intermittent fasting, commenting that there are some really good studies & provable data about how worthwhile this eating method is for many things & reasons .. correcting abnormal values at the blood level (i.e. blood sugar & lipids), along with mood stabilizing effects, & gentle, slow weight loss. So, I am doubly happy to see/hear you mention this as a daily eating regime, which you are obviously doing well with. This was a great video, BTW. 👌
It’s beautiful and all but really Elsa it is very self absorbed! It seems to me as an older person that life is too short for all that tracking of the past. You are a young beautiful healthy human. Just live love laugh and be kind to others.
Your bullet journal is epic. You would sell them in a heartbeat if you added them to your website, or printed out the layouts to sell. Everything you say is so fascinating and your artistry is sublime Xx
I love your system for so many reasons, but the tracking portion is particularly interesting. I often find myself complaining about sleep and mood issues that I don’t understand, so maybe I need to start a journal that contains more than a to-do list (which in and of itself is stressful!). Get to know myself better! I am really enjoying your channel.
You should add one of your beautiful stickers to the front of your bullet journal it would look amazing! I added the wood sticker get lost in the right direction on the front of my bullet journal. I love the earthy vibe it gives!
Elsa plz more bullet journal vids 💜 love you and ur channel Elsa , plz post more vids on how it’s like living off grid as a woman , for example , getting periods , hygiene , mental health , etc ...
I am so glad to have come across your journaling videos - particularly the tracking parts. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to track a bunch of my own health practices and your ideas were just what I was looking for - thank you!!! I would love to see what your journal is looking like these days should you have time to do a new video. I started following so I’ll keep an eye out for it. 😊
Question: I'd love to know your methodology on why some fasting bubbles are filled in, while others remain empty. I absolutely LOVE how you combined multiple trackers into one, and how it seamlessly relates to the other. Brilliant, thank you for sharing!
This is by far the most interesting bullet journal I’ve seen.
Definitely one of them! Pick Up Limes has a great one too.
Agreed! Working on copying the trackers now to see if something like that will work for me too :D
True
I’m here for this level of data nerdery 🤓
Ohh I’m so, so glad!
Im a -5 when it comes to tec.
Same tho xD
Same lol
"I ended up fixing myself" is the most important thing about this. Thank you for sharing!
Stipsy, that was what struck me also. I am not as crafty as Elsa, but made my own tracker on excel and printed it. I started tracking today, and already noticed a few things about how what I eat and how I move effects other things.
There is a saying back home you either pay the grocer or pay the doctor. I know what I prefer...
I cannot even imagine being so put together. You’re blessed
This bullet journal set up is far by the best I have ever seen.

Agreed!
I would also buy something like this as a gift for my wife!
There are some Japanese tracking journals like this. I saw them in kinokuniya bookstore.
You are the most calming person on the internet. your videos always leave me feeling more grounded and inspired. Thank you for being so lovely!
For me to 💜💜💜

me: trying to read a breakdown of her astrophysics decoding charts
me: it is pretty cool tho
mingbroadway 😂😂 thinking they something. I gave up hope of doing one the minute I saw her drawing another page! Geezzzzz!
You: using pointless : in your comments
Elsa's bujo setup is the most inspiring journal for me .It's very efficient.
I swear this is the most interesting and eye opening bullet journal vid I’ve ever seen.

Hello there, still working on my massive hiking video. Hope this is something you can enjoy in the meantime. Do any of you guys bullet journal? What are your favorite types of spreads?
Elsa Rhae bullet journaling changed my ADHD, absent minded, mess of a life. I would lost without it.
I just started to bullet journal because I have anxiety I like particularly love trackers. You are so inspiring so I will be trying the new spreads you shared! I also have two kids in elementary and they also do sports so I need to stay stay super organized. I ordered ceremonial cacao and used your code! I can't wait to try it in my morning coffee!

Finally tracking pages that actually track meaningful data! I thought I was the only one that tracked my food excercise exercise, mood, sleep and hormones and use the data to see how everything is connected. Meaningful and worthy of the time it takes. I love your simple approach to journaling.
Waiting for “ELSA’S BULLET JOURNAL”
I just love this human💜🌈🌍

I’ve been bullet journaling and watching bullet journal videos for years, and this is one of the most interesting ones I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing!
"If I make my bullet journal too complicated, I won't do it." Yessss!
What you're doing with your bullet~journal is self affirming. I've been keeping a detailed, diagrammatic ~journal for 15 years. Few people I know are detailed oriented enough to keep a daily, tracking journal. It's an incredible, centering routine. Like you, I also track health related issues.

Intermittent fasting has become a joyful practice.. ,been feeling more energetic. i'm sure we'll derive many future health benefits. Keep posting on your progress. Thanks for the share
Wow! So absolutely organized! So aware! Can't wait to see your hiking video! I used to track some of the things that you do in your Journal but nowhere near to that level. I used to have years in my adolescence and early 20s and even in my late twenties, that my monthly cycle was horrendous. When I was a teenager I would have something every day of the month. And in my late twenties I developed severe food allergies, and at that time I was tracking food. Super impressive what you are doing. Makes me rethink the thoughts of maybe just starting it up again someday. Hope you all are doing well. Super great video Elsa!
I have been keeping a diary since I could write, but never been very consistent with it. This just shows how important it is to remember the little details of the day. My brain sure can't hold it all, so I'll let the paper do the work. Thanks for the writing itch.
By far my favorite setup. I am a data analyst and track data on others all day and this is right up my alley. Thank you for sharing!
Other than your fertility tracker, I've practically adopted your method. I'm in love with the mood graph. Having to track my anxiety and some ailments. Thanks so much for sharing, this has been life-changing.
That is a lot of tracking, but I love it! I've actually been looking for other ways to track everything possible as far as my self care, mood, sleep, menstrual cycle, mental and behavior health, etc.and have it all work together. You've done a great job with that. Thank you very much for sharing your bullet journal with all of us. Blessings to you. *Hugs*
Man I could watch hours of you talking about your bullet journal and tracking and all the things you take and why. 🤓💓
Thanks so much for the feedback. Talking videos make me nervous. I assume most people aren’t interested in hearing me talk!
Elsa Rhae oh we are! 💓
@@ElsaRhae You have a very soothing voice.
Your journal is quite lovely - data nerdy, but creative instead of dry. Love that penmanship!
I could watch for hours too! She is so informational!
@@ElsaRhae I am interested in hearing you talk, because what you say is worth hearing. Thank you for making this video despite your nervousness . I appreciate your doing it.
Elsa this is the best bullet journal i've ever seen. I am delighted to see the detailed tracking you perform. This can only enhance your agency. i would love to see more of these videos.
I am completely fascinated by your habits tracker and the way you track your sleep, mood, and stress. I’m trying to think of a way to do something similar to help me figure out my weight loss struggles. I love the idea of tracking different elements and then looking at how they correlate.
Your bullet journal is amazing! I love how you use it to help care for yourself. This is something that my journal is missing. The menstrual trackers are very interesting.
Thanks for sharing your journal and also for the reminder of how important food/sleep/exercise/meditation and self awareness are to a healthy body.
Until recently, I have treated my body like a vessel to bring self pleasure, without regard to its health needs. As I age, poor choices of the past are catching up with me. Also, life has become extremely stressful, which is adding to my body’s breakdown. I have recently changed my diet and am working on incorporating meditation into my day. I am seeing signs of hope that it is never too late to change, and never too late to see results. 😀
You are an amazing young woman, and your lifestyle is an inspiration. 🌸✨
Your handwriting is absolutely gorgeous!
Elsa, seriously impressed with that journal. I write songs when inspired and since finding your channel the universe has been nudging me to write a song called "Something Elsa". Would that be weird? I/we are also looking to sell and hit the road for at least a year... creativity doesn't do so well when it's locked in a cage.
I will write that song since the chorus won't' leave me alone ;). Just for fun, check out the song I wrote (in the homepage slider) for our business website - banjocatcreative.com. Keep your light shining but keep a little for yourself - don't burn out little sister.
Hi! Just found this video, I think it's super interesting! I did however feel the need to point out that while you are correct in that you only have a small window of higher fertility, you can become pregnant at any point during your cycle, including during menstruation. Misinformation is a large cause of unwanted pregnancies, so I thought it was important to write this comment.
This is absolutely true but knowing your body ( température, sexual fluide /cervix consistency) tends to limit the risks. When you become pregnant outside of the usual window, it means that you had an ovulation outside of the usual window, so your body gives you signs. But you are right in that it's not a 100% sure method and we need to be aware of the risks. Also sperm can stay active several days inside the female body so intercourse before ovulation can still lead to pregnancy : one must predicts the ovulations several days in advance, wich is do-able but can become tricky when outside of the usual window.
I have followed my body cycle all my life (without a bullet journal) and this has been my only birth control method, and I am happy that way. But it implies knowing your body real well and being ok with the very small risk that the method fails (it has always worked for me). So it might not be for everyone.
You are still only fertile for a small window of time, the time of the month that happens can vary massively from person to person, and also month to month
I have been making journals my whole life and I am so excited to see yours / your ideas blow mine right on out of the water! Thanks for getting me excited about tracking again!!!!
Wow! Journal I never came across I love how document everything things going in your life, and health tracking everything how u healing yourself without going to the doctors
By far the best journal setup i have seen ... Loved it
Great job in so impressed. This actually proves to me why it’s beneficial to actually track and track consistently month to month. Great job!
There is so much helpful information in this video not only on living, but how to track what’s happening in life. Thank you for taking the time to document the process.
Thank you for talking about the fertility awareness method. Women deserve to know how their body's truly work and being able to take the decision to go off hormonal birth control without being shamed over "not taking control of their fertile life". It only takes 7 to 10 days a month of abstinence (or using a barrier method) to feel your absolute best for 20-22 days a month. And this is FREE so we really need to spread the message to women with small or no incomes so that they can take advantage of this magical method as well!

So excited. I got my dingbats journal today. Dark orange with a tiger, dotted lines. I've been keeping track of a lot in a phone app but Elsa's bullet journal will work so much better!
Thanks for all your inspiration!
Stumbled on this while looking for spread ideas for Feb. Obviously, the cycle piece isn't useful for my journal, but I learned something totally new that I didn't expect to hear. :)
Definitely one of the best BUJO's around. Thanks for the video.
Loving your journalling videos. They're brilliant, especially for this old beginner. Yes, please make more!!❤❤❤
Wow this is amazing. I love the way you create your bullet journal, a big inspiration for me by the way. I think more people should see this and get to know their body better. Thanks for sharing your privacy!
Wow that is an impressive journal. Your mind is so detailed and you are really good at logging everything in such a neat and tidy way. I couldn’t even invent that system let alone draw it. Plus the dedication to record it. It’s so simple and easy and tidy anyone could understand it. It would be areal benefit to share your findings with the scientific world. Those journals are amazing 😀😀😀
I track my mood stress and sleep in my bujo as well and its so volatile and unstable and seeing yours be so stable and predictable is inspiring me to try to get a more constant amount of sleep and stick to my routine because thats my biggest issue
I absolutely love the ideas I'm getting from you about how I can stretch the potential of my journal! I know what I'm going to do while staying home.
I’m new to your channel, may I say I love the way you ,Baron,and Camp live your life,How lucky you both are,that you have taken a leap of faith and live the life you dream possible,you are a beautiful family,and I love that you share a glimpse into your life style
This is one of the most helpful bullet journals on UA-cam!
I truly admire when you share these kinds of things with us! It really helps us all to get re-centered and see that a little bit of effort really goes a long way! 🌻
I’m telling y’all, this girl is a genius. Mississippi DD
could you do a real-time version of this so we can follow along? your voice is so calming, i think it would be really great to be able to set this up “with” someone
kaseymmb I’d be down for that!
Yes! My brain does well with this method of journaling!
Interesting way of journaling. Will have to try it.
Yes plz do!
Yes!!!!!!!!
I've been through the same thing... I tried to use all sorts of colours in my Bible study stuff. And it was distracting and overwhelming. I had to just use black pen and paper, that was it. It was the best thing I did.
And now that I'm starting a bunch of habit trackers, I do want to use the, tombow dual brush pens (as I'm into watercolouring). Just to give it a bit of a pop of colour here and there on: borders, headings, and checking things off. I just hope I don't get too obsessed over the colours! I'm definitely a minimalist with everything, but what ruins it is my mind is both indecisive and impulsive which makes me constantly change my mind!!!
ELSA. I love this. I love how you're still using it and making it your own!!
Thank you so much for sharing your trackers! I have a condition (CVS) and am desperate to record and track my health, diet and supplements. There are so many trackers for brushing your teeth and watering your plants! All of which are useless to me! Your trackers are inspired and may actually make a difference to my health and help the lives of me and my family. Thank you so much 💓
I absolutely crave real paper... books... creating... drawing... the touch and feel... the smell. This absolutely adds fuel to the fire!! LOVE!!!
I watched this earlier today and now I am doing it! I love the idea of tracking and feel like I could be more in sync with my body!
Your trackers are incredible! I clicked on the video because what I'd seen in the thumbnail looked like a fertility tracker, and this is also my jam (although I find apps more convenient for this purpose than paper). So this was half-true after all, as the image itself turned out to depict your sleep/mood/stress tracker ;) Which is a great idea, especially beside a diet tracker! You gave me food for thought. I know this system wouldn't exactly work for me as I'd like to note how much of what I consume, rather than if I consume a certain thing, so this would need to be more advanced, and I've no idea how I could measure my stress levels, but this idea is definitely worth trying!
Girlfriend, we are kindred spirits! I track a lot of the same things: meat and dairy (ideal zero), coffee (ideal 2 per week), sleep and mood correlations, etc.
The correlation you found between all of those things is really cool! Also, just the organizational level of it speaks to me on a deeply spiritual level!
Wow! A type of personal documentation and research resulting in valuable information for all of us to benefit from...valuable and I'm sure very satisfactory for you. I also love the creativity. Inspiring...
This is a really amazing way to capture yourself throughout the days. Really big props for sticking to it. Seems as though you’re progressing along nicely, I love it! Super inspired.
Ive come back to reference this video several times since Im trying to track my health in more detail due to some issues Im having. Thank you so so much for sharing this.
Exercise is so good for mood, mountain biking has such a great impact on my mood, sleep and fights off depression
Wow very interesting way to journal. Personally I find myself ignoring trackers but find them so fascinating at the same time. 😍
I've been bullet journaling for a number of years but didn't have much tracking success. Thanks for this video explaining how you do it and the benefits! I'm going to give it a go again!!.....Love your videos! Vicki
I love how you track everything. I want to do something similar, so I love watching your videos again and again!
I loved it! I’ve been following your channel for a while, dreaming of one day having my own little scamp ! I would absolutely love to see an in depth video of your fertility tracker, set up and logging. I am looking for ways to make my bullet journal more useful and helpful for my health. Thank you for sharing !
This was so helpful!! I'm trying to track all these things as well but was always overwhelmed at how to make the layouts and have everything fit and still look simple. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for sharing! I just started bullet journaling, first month under my belt. I really like your tracking charts!
I love this! Your bullet journal may be "minimal," but it is so chock full of information! I love all of the practical insights you garner from your trackers. It's the 1st time I really see the purpose and usefulness of tracking ... gives me something to think about. Thanks for sharing!
I love how obsessive this is! It's so interesting and good! I love seeing it on paper. I have lots of little notes, but nothing organized or outside of my brain. This seems very helpful to get it out and onto paper.
I have to be honest, I took a bunch of these ideas 💡
Your bullet journal is awesome, and I’m glad the world has creative people like you to set the path haha.
Thank you so much! I came to your channel for rv layout ideas but I'm staying for all of the inspiration and self improvement ideas that you so graciously share! Huge thanks!
I am so inspired!!!! Thank you so much for helping me realize what I need to do better in 2020 to get my health and well being back on track... I'm having issues with mental health and general happiness and I think it's because of bad eating habits and over sleeping...and I needed to make a change from 2020 if I wanted to live better and your video just popped on my recommendation....what I love about this bujo is that it's so very practical!!!! And like you mentioned this really does help love yourself better and know yourself better...I'm ranting I know...but I'm just so excited to stumble across this channel! Thank you again!
Thank you for a great video about journaling. I've been journaling for a year now and I am still learning about myself and how I want/need to do. Your videos have helped me greatly. Thank you!!
I just ordered my first bullet journal! I've watched so many videos and yours are by far the most helpful!
I'm very messy and not artistically inclined, so I really appreciate that you don't fill your journal with cutesy doodles; you keep it practical and minimal. Watching others' videos, I was beginning to think you couldn't bullet journal without an art degree 😂
I was wondering if you might put all your bullet journal videos into a playlist for us bujo newbs to binge watch...
Thank you and I love your lifestyle!
Elsa, I love how committed you are to yourself. YES. Love love love to you
I just had a visit with the cardiologist...interestingly, in conversation he mentioned intermittent fasting, commenting that there are some really good studies & provable data about how worthwhile this eating method is for many things & reasons .. correcting abnormal values at the blood level (i.e. blood sugar & lipids), along with mood stabilizing effects, & gentle, slow weight loss. So, I am doubly happy to see/hear you mention this as a daily eating regime, which you are obviously doing well with. This was a great video, BTW. 👌
It’s beautiful and all but really Elsa it is very self absorbed! It seems to me as an older person that life is too short for all that tracking of the past. You are a young beautiful healthy human. Just live love laugh and be kind to others.
Your bullet journal is epic. You would sell them in a heartbeat if you added them to your website, or printed out the layouts to sell. Everything you say is so fascinating and your artistry is sublime Xx
I love bullet journaling and I think this is one of the most functional ones that I have found. Love it!
I love your system for so many reasons, but the tracking portion is particularly interesting. I often find myself complaining about sleep and mood issues that I don’t understand, so maybe I need to start a journal that contains more than a to-do list (which in and of itself is stressful!). Get to know myself better! I am really enjoying your channel.
You should add one of your beautiful stickers to the front of your bullet journal it would look amazing! I added the wood sticker get lost in the right direction on the front of my bullet journal. I love the earthy vibe it gives!
Elsa plz more bullet journal vids 💜 love you and ur channel Elsa , plz post more vids on how it’s like living off grid as a woman , for example , getting periods , hygiene , mental health , etc ...
I am so glad to have come across your journaling videos - particularly the tracking parts. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to track a bunch of my own health practices and your ideas were just what I was looking for - thank you!!! I would love to see what your journal is looking like these days should you have time to do a new video. I started following so I’ll keep an eye out for it. 😊
Question: I'd love to know your methodology on why some fasting bubbles are filled in, while others remain empty. I absolutely LOVE how you combined multiple trackers into one, and how it seamlessly relates to the other. Brilliant, thank you for sharing!
