For everyone saying "why do you need to do this, it would be more productive to just do the task" that's great that your brain doesn't need it. Some people do. Personally, as someone with anxiety, who ruminates and worries about all the things she has to remember, bullet journaling this month has been MAGICAL for my mental health and productivity. If you don't need it, great! But don't shame people whose brains are just wired differently than yours.
i can see it being useful for people i know who are extremely forgetful :)
LifeWithNath Thank you for saying this. This is really helpful for those of us with Mental Illnesses to journal and plan because our brains lack the concept of timing and it helps a lot of us keep our lives organized. I love that you brought this to light! 💪💓
When I was in school I failed most of my classes. I had to have a tutor and first thing she request me was to have an agenda or a notebook where I can organize everything -and I mean every-thing! Ever since I've considered it a basic in life, I left agendas a while ago for bullet journals, I think is just a much better solution for me.
(I know it's a late answer but I think your point is relevant =p )
I am retired and it is really easy to let things slide. I have found the bullet journal keeps me on track and I do the little jobs that can turn into a giant overwhelming jobs if not done often. Planning, cleaning, appointments, personal care, household duties and fun stuff. I track all those things now and find it is fun AND therapeutic. That being said, I don't think anyone needs a reason to bullet journal -- just do whatever floats your boat - there are no rules!
its also a really fun way to keep track of your life or look back on who you were last year or the year before, even if you dont need it to help you be productive, we shouldnt be judged for the big or little things that make us happy. its us that has to live our own lives therefore we should do whatever benefits US and nobody should complain about that.
AND ANOTHER IMPORTANT TIP FROM A LONG TIME BULLET JOURNAL USER... IT DOSEN'T HAVE TO BE ALL ARTISTIC AND BEAUTIFUL AND WITHOUT A SINGLE MISTAKE!!!!
Elena in Movieland Absolutely! 🙌🏼
Elena in Movieland I just did that
Very insporational
When I saw the first bullet journal, I was like " can't do this"!
okay okay we got it.. calm down girl
I'm surprised by the number of negative comments about bullet journaling in response to this! It's definitely not for everyone, but it's not as time consuming as a lot of people think. It takes maybe an hour or two to set up, and then a few minutes every day to add in and track your daily tasks. It might not be as efficient as a digital calendar system but bullet journals are really great for practising mindfulness by forcing you to slow down for 15 minutes a day to reflect
Leuchtturm is german for lighthouse 💖
I was just going to comment that! :)
MsBooberella i wanted to say that also 'cause it was very cute how she said it 😅😊🎀
Cool
Rhodia is Rose in Greek.
Moleskine...is the skin off a critter or adhesive pads stuck to the skin to prevent blisters.
Leuchttum is lighthouse. (like MsBooberella shared)
Love how you emphasised that you can keep your bullet journal very simple, and not be pressured into making it super arty!! And how important it is to know that you might change in the middle of the year! Nothings perfect!! Thank you for being so inspiring!! xxx
I love the minimal style of your 2017 one. Honestly, it's like organisation heaven. Thanks for the really simple explanation on how to bullet journal as well. So tempted to start!
what I love most about this, is that i love the idea of not having a strict schedule or way the notebook has to be filled out, it's exactly what kind of note keeping that i've been looking to follow, so this is pushing me that much more to get organized again!
I started bullet journaling when I first started college about a year and a half ago. At first, I kind of over-complicated things, and like you mentioned I spent so much time trying to make it look "pretty" (I'm a design student, so the pressure was all there) but as time went on, I simplified it more and more.
Now my bullet journal works more almost as a diary and a simple week planner without all the fancy shmancy indexes and future logs and whatnot and it works so well for me. Bullet journaling is different for everyone and that is okay!
i've been watching bullet journal videos all weekend and have been so tempted to try it out but it seems so time consuming!
It's only as time consuming as you make it. That's my favorite thing about it, it's very versatile and adaptable, and because nothing is set in stone/in advance, you're able to try something, see if it works, and then try something else, etc, until you find something you love. It's the only system I've ever found that lets me put everything I need into it, and has made me want to stick with it for any length of time.
i think i will give it a try! thank you for the advice :)
Have fun with it, and welcome to the #bujo community! =D
Throw yourself in - you can make it super simple if you want, and then once you've wrapped your head around the system you can add extra stuff if you fancy. The best thing about the system is how adaptable and customizable it is! Enjoy :)

Love my bullet journal! I have a minimal version similar to yours that has helped me so much over the last couple of years. I never got on with electronic diaries, the process of writing actually helps me to think and to organise. Plus I don't have stray notes and bits of paper when something doesn't fit into a pre-printed diary anymore! xx
Thank you very much! I tried researching a lot of videos about bullet journaling because I am super unorganized. Nothing was giving me enough information. So thank you very much because you really helped me understand the concepts and gave your personal thoughts on it. That really helped me a lot. 😊
I've used the bullet journal method since 2012, before I even knew it existed, and it worked wonders for me. I was able to keep on top of university, a job, and volunteer work. I initially chose it because buying a notebook is a lot cheaper than buying a planner. This year though, I found a planner that is layed out the way I did my bullet journal, so I crossed over again (and it's gold, white, black, and pale pink; couldn't resist). We'll see how this works...but I'm really exited about it.
I love how simple this is!! I've not been drawn to Bullet Journals so far because I didn't like the unnecessary arty stuff but your version is very me :)
I use my bullet journal ALL the time for work. As I've taken on more responsibility at work I've found it incredibly helpful when it comes to prioritisation, recalling meeting notes or project planning. I've searched far and wide for an electronic version but there is just something about writing things down that is incredibly satisfying! Mines far from pretty but I rely on it so heavily.
Wow Lily! You really don't need any more decorations, than your beautiful handwritting! Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing your experience ^_^
I've been using the bullet journal system for around 2 years now, but it's required such considerable changes to fit my schedule in that I don't even think I could really call it a bullet journal! haha. It only really works if you have quite a bit of time.
princesscharlott1983 I think people who use their planners with stickers and photos actually see their planner as a scrapbook diary thingy ! Like to sort of remember what they've done on a given day !
True, also we all have the same 24 hours in a day, it's what you decide to prioritize. Some people feel the need to take a bit of time to plan and organize and be arty with it, and some people just need a few seconds to jot down a note in their phone and be off. We are all living how we need to live :)
Love love love my bullet journal!! It's definitely the planning system for me. I actually enjoy grabbing it and jotting things down. I'm so much more organised. Love the look of your 2017 version x
Aaahh this has inspired me to get on and make my bullet journal!
How is your bullet journaling?
Love seeing how you use your bullet journal, your future log looks especially helpful. I've been using mine nearly a year, it's so useful and helps my productivity.
This is so useful! I started my bullet journal in October and I've found it so useful for keeping all my lists together. I'm glad I'm not the only one who writes lists at the back too! I think the thing is not to put too much pressure on yourself, it doesn't need to be perfect. I love how flexible it is.
I started my bullet journal this year and I have to admit I am enjoying it and actually sticking with it. I always wanted to journal but never found time. Since I get to do lists, which I love, in this one I sit every evening for couple minutes and write those and then some of my thoughts.
This is so helpful! I loved having a look at your bullet journal, I've been thinking of starting one for a while but just found the whole thing a bit overwhelming. You explained it really well x
I love that you keep it simple and not all decorated. I am not a creative person but I love the concept of the bullet journal.
I've been waiting for this video! I started mine this year after hearing about it from your tweets and watched loads of others' videos too. But I always thought the monthly list page was silly and too restrictive, so I skipped it. But the past two weeks I kept thinking, "I wonder if Lily made sense of the page?" - Glad to see you've skipped it too!
Cool
Thanks to you, I started using the bullet journal last year. I use it for everything - workout planning, meal planning, budget planning. Nothing fancy there, but very easy to use.
I've wanted to get a bullet journal for about a month now, but this has really inspired me to do so this week and plan ahead! Thank you, Lily!
This is so clever! You explained it really well, it wasn't overwhelming at all x
I got familiar with bullet journal when you mentioned it last year, but I love how you tailored it to your creative field. Amazing job!
Thanks for sharing this! I started bullet journalling in 2015 for a couple of weeks but I hadn't researched it properly and ended up giving up. I restarted again in December 2016 and have continued well so far as I took time to research and decide what I wanted from it. I love it! I feel so organised now! It was so interesting to see how you use it and I might incorporate some of your ideas and tweak them to fit my own job. Thanks!
Been bullet journaling since september and loving it! Skipped making the weeks after one month. Some days you don't need to plan anything and got frustrated at the lost space. Now doing the day's one by one and loving it.
Please say I'm not the only one now trying to hum whilst holding their nose...
Alice Spence totally just tried...
Just came here to ask the same!! :D
Alice Spence I tried it as soon as I spotted it written in the journal 😂
Alice Spence I have tried... and failed!
you can if you breathe beforehand...but that's cheating
I've just discovered bullet journaling and I love it. It makes me feel so much more organised. Thanks for sharing a glimpse into yours as it is very personal.
I loooved this video so much! I have a bullet journal but because I found notebooks very restrictive I started using a filofax planner for it.. And when it's filled up you just move the pages out into a different plain binder but you still get to keep all the things that you'd have to transfer from notebook to notebook !
This was a very informative and simple video for people who don't know how to go about it!
I love seeing other people's bullet journals! I use a planner and a separate journal, because that just works for me, but I love integrating bullet journal concepts into both. Great video Lily! :)
So happy you posted this video. I'm doing bullet journal for about a year now, and I was struggling with a few pages that I need, but couldn't exactly figure out how I should do them, nothing seemed to work. But you gave me some pretty good ideas that I'll try. Really think they will work out great, so thanks!
I know I will never try Bullet Journaling, but I just really enjoyed watching this for some planning inspiration☺
Bought the bullet journal last week and have been waiting for this video to start it as I knew you would explain it simply!! 👍🏼
Bullet journal aside, that is the pretties engagement and wedding ring combination I've ever seen! So elegant!
How time appropriate! I just started bullet journaling a month ago... love seeing your perspective.
Lily, I am so glad that you put on YT this video. I was wondering what kind of calendar or planner I should buy this year, but now I know that Bullet Journal is perfect way of planning for me. Since now I am gonna to create my own.
loved this video Lily, thanks for sharing! I'm not very arty which has put me off bullet journaling.. but having seen how yours is so nice and simplye has inspired me! Thank you xx
I have waited for this video for soooo long!! So I paused it, made myself a cup of tea and now i'm gonna watch it sitting by the window while it's raining outside. sunday goals here. xx from Argentina
What I like about the bullet journal, is that there isn't any pressure to fill it all out so as not to waste it. With a planner/yearly journal where it's all set up for you, if you forget to make any entries for a while you've got this big empty chunk in your journal that you can't use anymore because those months are gone. Ofcourse you can just disregard the year and months and just use the paper but it's irritating if its a really lovely, pricey diary and youve not used it as best you could have. I'm about to start bullet journaling myself for this reason. So excited. :)
I have been looking a while now for a way to have everything in one place (weekly planning, holidays, exams, essays, budgeting, expenses...) but I'd never thought a bullet journal would work for that but after seeing yours I am going to give this a go! Loving the minimalist vibe of yours
I've just started bullet journaling and have found it really helpful. I work in a normal office job and don't do my work planning for it but I've loved it so far just as place to put social events, meal planners, reminders and a way to see your year at a glance. You can make as arty or as simple as you like, and like lily I just fill in what I need in terms of calendar etc but then do it as I go. She's right, don't feel like you have to set everything up immediately and make it a work of art. I've also loved it for habit tracking and seeing at a glance how I've been doing with going to the gym, drinking alcohol and soft drinks, getting a good nights sleep, switching off from screens before 11. It's hard to explain because it's so personal but after a little time investment you can really make it work for yourself.
Great video. Thank you! You have such a lovely voice to listen to. Well spoken and clear. Anyway, great advice. Without a bullet journal or planner I’d be totally lost and confused. Journals do organise your thoughts. We all lead such busy lives, so committing it all to paper is quite a relief and a type of therapy too. Ive been journalling in one way or another since I was 8 years old. (I’m 63 now). My paper and pens are like my breath of life. I’ll never be without them. I’m grateful I live in an age where so much paper “stuff” is freely available to us. We are so lucky. 💌📕💙🌟📗🌹📚📘📝📓❤️📃🖌📕📄💕📗🖌📖🌹🖊🖌🌟🥰📚🖊📓🤔
Thank you for the bullet journal update. It is great to see and hear what you like/what worked, and what you have decided to change. Really informative and interesting video!
Lily, I am so grateful to you for filming this! It had to have been complicated to do, but think of the number of people this will help for years to come. You have inspired & motivated me to try bullet journaling ~ not to mention planting mother in law tongue and too many beauty purchases to note here! Appreciate the thoughtfulness you put into ALL your content.
I am so excited about this video!!! Thank you for uploading this Lily x
I love how you organise your videos and blog posts with the steps to tick off, really helped me with organisation x
I love how comprehensive this was! Planning to start a bullet journal this year so definitely taking in all your tips! ❤❤
Love this especially as I received a bullet journal for Christmas and this has inspired me to watch a few more videos and get started. Hopefully this time next year I will have a journal full of my years activities!
This excites my type A personality so much! Defs going to research it some more. Thanks for the introduction!
I love how simple your layout is! Being the utilitarian that I am, I've been intimidated by all the artsy stuff other people are doing, but this seems much more doable. Very helpful video~ thank you for this!
I’d love to see an updated one this year again, hear about the learnings you went through and if the changes you made worked out for you :) lovely video, loved how comprehensible you made the whole subject and especially that you said how overwhelming bj is in the beginning, because that’s exactly how I feel while it seems like everybody else is just amazing at it!
Feeling so inspired right now! Loved your videos so much last year and I'm excited what's next :)
Loved this, mainly for the peek inside the process of your business but it's a great BuJo video as well. Thanks Lily
Honestly, I've watched a couple videos and read through bulletjournal.com and I was overwhelmed and still confused about how to really begin, but watching this changed my view completely!! Thank you so much! I love that you showed your last yr's and how you're starting this year's - extremely helpful! I'm definitely doing this this year
I have been waiting for this!! I recently got into bullet journaling and I was so excited to see your take on it. I love some of the layouts you use!
Everyday May Yay! Looking forward to spring and thoughts if the day from the happily married couple. Thank you sharing bits of your day with us.
Thank you Lily! I have seen so many people making lovely edited videos about their successful bullet journal and find them kind of intimidating. I love that you show where you started, explain it in your own way, and show what you're aiming for. This is realistic and helpful. I will definitely check out the reference video and the dotted journal you mentioned. I think this will be very helpful for me :)
Great video! I have always enjoyed planning and I knew about bullet journaling quite a while ago, you've explained it probably the most clearly that I have seen online.
Yay, I've been so excited to get a peek into the way you use bullet journaling! It's such an great system, and so interesting to see how different people adapt it to suit their lifestyle - your 2017 blog + film calendar is especially awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
I just started doing one for the first time after watching some videos, but to tell you the truth yours is the best and most simple one of all...I guess I will do my February like yours...not so complicated. Thank you for the video, it was different and great
It's always fun to see what aspects of bullet journaling different people find most helpful. You love the index aspect, but I knew from the begining that I would never keep up with the index and never use it, so i just didn't do it. That is what is really great about bullet journaling, you can really just make it whatever you need personally
I've just started mine two weeks ago. Nice to see how your layouts have changed, because I'm certain mine will. Thank you for the video xx
Your system is my favorite! I am glad you are not doing things by week and are making things more flexible. Your monthly editorial calendar is great!
I have been so excited for this video! Can't wait to watch it! x
Loved this Lilly thank you. I'd heard of bullet journaling but never really got it, now I'm really intrigued and inspired! Thanks for sharing x
I love that you're not super concerned with making it "arty" because that's what intimidates me about bullet journaling. I had one a couple years ago, well it wasn't a proper one. Anyways, I loved creating what worked best for me. You've inspired me to maybe use one for next school year!
Lilly - I think this would be a great little miniseries. maybe one video a quarter, and one at the end of the year with how you liked your newer set up, learns from using it for the whole year, ideas you've had, etc. I think that could be cool and helpful for those of us starting out with Bullet Journaling as well. Hope you're having fun in SA. xo
Yes been looking forward to this, I'v been interested in this system for months - defiantly going to order a notebook on amazon. Thanks for the inspiration Lily! x
I'm not very artsy, but I do enjoy keeping a bullet journal. It's helped organize my life so much this year!
Great video, Lily! I won't use one because as a teacher I need a particular diary but I loved seeing how you organise your content.
I'm definitely going to do this when I go back to work. I really enjoyed the video xx
Yeah I've been using the bullet journal system for around one year as well and it's totally life-changing
I'm so excited to watch this!!
I was curious about bullet journals because you mentioned them quite often. I watched several videos and started my own this week. It works so well for my classroom and for getting small tasks done efficiently. I'm mainly using it for work but add a few personal things I want to remember. Thanks for sharing your video; I like mine simple as well (even though it looks beautiful with artistic flair). If any teachers are watching, I'd highly recommend it for them!
Love the monthly content planning page! Thanks for sharing, great ideas for me to try 😃
Hi Lily, I'm really enjoying your channel... I've been watching for ages, but you've seemed so happy in your videos lately that every time one finishes I want to watch another. Your vlogs are great and obviously your main videos are interesting and enjoyable. Can't wait to watch you continue to get better and better... very inspiring!! xxx
You've got me so intrigued! My sunday is now going to be spent googling bullet journals haha xxx
Lily this is soo great. thank you for sharing this. I'm hoping to create a bullet journal this year and after watching this I'm soo inspired to make it as personal as I can.
I started my Bujo and saw a lot of ideas but I found yours is very easy to follow and very uncomplicated. Thank you for your very inspiring video.
Before watching this video, I was debating whether or not to order one off amazon and actually start one, but after watching this I immediately ordered one! so helpful! thanks you!
Interesting concept! Thanks for sharing this with us Lily. I'm going to look into it.
Yay!!! Delighted you have done this video!! Tried to start doing this when you started it first!! So interested in this!
I was really indecisive about starting a bullet journal but after watching this video I ordered one straight away! Haha. I'm a teacher so didn't think it would work for my work but you showed me how creative you can be with it. I have such exciting ideas for it now... thank you so much!!!
I've been waiting for this video for ages. This was very helpful, it is interesting to read the comments and see different point of views on things, definitely reflective of the different ways people choose to store and use information. This is definitely my type of journaling. It definitely comes down to finding what works for you and then going with it. Thanks for filming xx
This is exactly the video I needed, been wanting to bullet journal for a while!
Love this video. very timely for the new year! I'm thinking about switching to a bullet journal
I’ve finally found someone who’s explained the process so clearly, without focusing on the art side of things. Thank you so much, I’ve subscribed to your channel and really looking forward to learning more from you x
Omg! You just completely changed my notebook system. Wauw. Definitely have to try this.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I also want to keep it simple & was struggling to see how I would do that looking at all the beautiful, but very complicated layouts. I'm also a blogger and beginner UA-camr so seeing how you set up your planning really helped! 😍❤
This was great. After you mentioned it on a previous video I spent ages looking through all the different videos. It's fantastic. I used to use so many different note books and now it's all in one. Thank you, it's made my life so much easier and less confusing 😄 xx
This was very helpful. Because I don't do resolutions for the year anymore, I wanted to at least plan better for the year ahead since I have a tendency to let things sneak up on me that happen around the same time every year. This will be a great way for me to stay organized for all the big and small events coming up!
Im inspired completely. And im only 10! My nan got me a bullet joural ( bujo ) yesterday, and ever since, i couldnt sleep i was so exited!!
I've only recently discovered your channel through twitter. This is such a great video and I'm really intrigued and now contemplating buying a bullet journal! I love how you've set everything out and just keeping the design layout and text simple and minimalistic. Xx
I discovered "bullet journal" last year but decided not to do it because I didn't know how to incorporate it in my life as a notebook. So thanks for this video because seeing the example of how you did it and the things that did not work for you gives me a clearer idea of how I want it.
I really love the video Lily! 😊 😊😊
I've really been looking forward to this video! I first discovered the bullet journal through you, when you posted an Instagram post about it at the beginning of last year. Thanks so much for introducing me to the concept, Lily!
I started one last year, but was super inconsistent with it. I saw all these beautiful, artistic bullet journals online and tried to do too much too soon with my own. This year, I've kept it far more minimalistic and am using it in a way that works for me. Really happy with it so far! I know it might look like a lot of effort and hassle to some people, but I really enjoy using mine - and I love the flexibility of it.
I totally agree about the dotted pages! I used a blank notebook last year but switched to the Leuchtturm this year...and I was like, woah - been doing it wrong all my life!
Really enjoyed the video, it was interesting seeing how you've set your one up. I love the simple, clean look of it. Love your videos generally, but I never get around to commenting. So I thought I would today! Have a good week :).
You have really been killing it so far this year with content! Very good and clear video (although I do use a bullet journal myself so not a complete novice. This definitely inspired me to try a more minimal approach with mine.
