    Hi! New follower. I’m 48, my one & only child went off to college this year & im getting used to a new way of life. Your video really helped me prepare for all that bullet journaling is and can be for me. Your descriptions are wonderfully helpful and your presence is calm which I need. Thank you for helping this old dog learn a few new tricks! ❤

    I like how clearly you structured the video and how on point your explanations where 😊 Personally the most important part for me with bullet journaling is reflection and writing down my thoughts, feelings, ideas etc. My bullet journal looks nothing like yours, has no consistent themes through a month or pretty weekly spreads. It's a chaotic collection of different spreads, brain dumps and other things, I need to get off my mind. But that's the beauty in bullet journaling: you create what you need and what works for you. And I still find it helpful and inspiring, hearing other people talk about what works for them 😊

    • @mingostudio

    Great summary! I've been bullet journaling about 1.5 years and it's been sooo helpful for me. I'm definitely more organized, it's helped with forming new habits, but it's also helped me being more creative. I've always liked art, I used to paint with my grandma when I was a kid, but it's something that doesn't come super easy for me. I'd stare at a blank page or canvas and talk myself out of trying. Now, I'm doing at least a little bit of art every single month and I've been surprising myself at how well some of my paintings and drawings have turned out.

I'm starting a bullet journal for the first time this year, even though it's currently more like a planner I drew out with monthly art pages. Still, I'm excited to use stationary from my favorite artists and have an aesthetic journal to reflect in at the end of the day, and maybe even cross off a few goals.

    Hi! What a great video for us beginners. You were very thorough in your presentation of the bullet journal system. I have been a paper planner person for going on 7 years and am starting bullet journaling in April. I am going to start small so I can build the habit, but if I like it, I would like to incorporate design into it. Your art work is mind blowing! I have a hard enough time with a ruler and a straight line. 🤣 I hope to gain the courage to try something with markers. Drawing stick people is where I’m at. Sigh. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

    A wonderful video! You made it very clear that a bullet journal don't has to be artsy (especially referring to the original idea) but can be. The only point I miss are the collections from Ryder Carroll. Next to habit tracker ect often seen on yt one can also use brain dump pages or journal/ taking notes on a specific topic for example on the last book one read or for work or school. And then an index come in handy. I like the idea on not having thousands of sticky notes and random papers with notes but just one BuJo. Also (as said in a different comment) reflecting and adjusting is a big thing, and the bujo gives you a lot of freedom for that.

      yay i'm glad it was helpful! i always recommend A5 (or any size) dotted journals like Archer & Olive, Notebook Therapy, and Kuma Stationery. All 3 are linked below my videos in the description boxes. However, if you're looking for something cheaper, you can find simple dot grid journals on Amazon (like Paperage.) Good quality, maybe a little thinner paper, but gets the job done haha. :)

    Hey this is a great video, I have been contemplating bullet journaling for a long time but decided new year, may as well. What held me back a bit was perfectionism and fear of making mistakes or drawing bad things - any tips on how to get over that?

    • @mingostudio
      @mingostudio  5 місяців тому

      thank you! honestly i’m a perfectionist too haha and there was a while (and sometimes still) when i get in a creative slump just bc something i drew didn’t turn out how i wanted. but i think it’s good to remember that your bujo is like a time capsule and even if something isn’t perfect, it still holds memory. instead of focusing on making spreads aesthetically pleasing, i think it’s good to remember that in a year or two when you flip back through the pages you won’t remember the “mistakes” in your designs, but more how your life was at that period and how much you’ve grown since. this helps me stay motivated to keep journaling through times of low creative energy. hope it’s helpful! 🤎🤎

    • @mingostudio
      @mingostudio  5 місяців тому +1

      no worries! they’re all basically for planning ahead and writing any events or todos and any other things to remember but on different scales. a weekly log/spread is events on the weekly scale, the monthly on the monthly (like a monthly calendar), and the future log or yearly log is usually for 12 months. although some events may overlap on all three, i find it’s helpful bc i may not make a weekly until the sunday before. so having a place to store an event/to-do happening that week, like on a monthly calendar or yearly overview, is helpful to keep myself in check. it’s like a little migration system. lmk if this answers your question! :)
