    I think that people have forgotten the point of the bullet journal. It's a planner and a place to simply jot down ideas as you go.
    Thinking that you're too busy to bother with the bullet journal means that you put too much into it for no reason. Just stick with the basics. Planner, calendar, a blank page to write whatever comes to mind.
    Also, while plan with me's are fun to watch, they're not an obligation. You don't owe anyone a video. If you don't like the concept anymore, just ditch it.

    Honestly, seeing you make spreads is so relaxing so even if you don't use them, just remember they make really good UA-cam videos

    I'm digging the bracelets, Alice. The color and aesthetics of this whole video is so pleasing.

    My disorganized ass couldn't keep the bullet journal for not even a week. I feel a lot of respect for all the people still doing it

    I've been going through the same thing the past couple months with not using my spreads.
    Most likely the main reason is because I've been a lot busier. Using notes in my phone is quick. And efficient enough for me.
    Okay, wait, I've never seen anyone use a brush for eraser dust! I like it. haha
    Your chores page would be very useful for me - and people who don't keep up with trackers.
    The best mood tracker description words! XD

      I used to use a Harry Potter feather pen for wiping off eraser dust before it broke! There is something weirdly aesthetically pleasing about it even if you never show anyone

    Using a bullet journal really does help you keep on track! I like your straight forward wording on the mood tracker it's FUCKING GREAT. I personally use my journal every day and it helps me out sooo much! 😍😍😍😍

  • @astr0jelly560
    @astr0jelly560 6 років тому

    I’m so glad you addressed how not using your journal isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The best part about these journals is that you can make them specifically for you and if something doesn’t work, you can change it.

  • @mjpete27
    @mjpete27 6 років тому +1

    I read through some comments before I decided to put something down. First liked the video, I am like many others I was really looking forward to today's video. I spoke before about not being able to keep a daily journal, I just do not have that in me. That said, I LOVE that even someone as accomplished as you sometimes has difficulty with your journal! and while I found the video low key it was NOT depressing!!! Thank you Alice for continuing to share your journey and Art-life with us. Please remember you owe your viewers a video, that it really all that is implied, not always uplifting or "perfect" just something art related and something you want to share not a piece of your soul!
    I like that you do Art videos. I enjoy your content and I am happy you continue to do so.
    Have a Grand Day!

    Hey I'm in the same place, girl! My insomnia is a living nightmare right now and I need to find a new doctor because mine refuses to treat any of my actual problems. She intentionally misdiagnoses me on the spot without looking into anything to try to keep making me come back and take all these different drugs I don't need. And I've gone so long without replacing her that my doctor's office just cancelled all my prescription medications to try to force me to come back!
    And I've been so busy between both of my jobs and a sudden influx in commissions (this is my first time needing to put up a waiting list!) that I sometimes can't even write simple tasks like "fold laundry" down for a specific day because it likely won't get done for one reason or another. I think for me, I gave up on actually using my bullet journal because I felt like I couldn't assign any task to a single day or it wouldn't get done and that made me not want to fill it out at all.
    But I've been trying to drag myself back into it too! It's super good for me. I also use it to take notes on how my insomnia behaves so it could maybe help a doctor who cares enough to help me find a solution! I also abandoned things like mood trackers and simplified my spreads. Though I continue to set up a "weekly chores" key so I don't feel pressure to do any task on any specific day, but to just make sure they're done at least however many times a week.

  • @Randemmz
    @Randemmz 6 років тому +1

    I went through this! I didn't use it for ages but I found when I simplified everything I started using it more. I ended up finishing mine for the year, very very simplified.
    But I think next year I might just purchase a planner and then customise it a bit.

  • @nitac7174
    @nitac7174 6 років тому

    I've definitely had that bullet journal slow down and making spreads I just never use. I'm loving your minimalist but still cute af layouts. I hope they get you back in love with bullet journaling again. ♡

  • @Irisandstuff

    Your voice makes me want to give you hug. I hated how sad you sound, I actually almost cried.

  • @LilyHanna
    @LilyHanna 6 років тому

    I really like the minimal set up this month! The reason I think bullet journaling is so cool is cause you can change it up every month to make it work for you, unlike pre-made planners.
    I'm just starting bullet journaling so I'm still excited to fill out all my trackers and such. But I do like when I see other people didn't fill their tracker or planners out and in that space they write a quote or draw something. For me I think that will make it fun even if I don't complete stuff fully and I won't "ruin" a beautiful spread with empty space haha.

    This is low-key exactly what I needed--i really got out of keeping up my bullet journal in June, too, and the prospect of doing up a complicated July spread just to not use it seemed daunting. But this layout is great. Thank you so much for the motivation & inspiration!

    I totally feel you, I used my bullet journal for like 4 days and was like, "Nope, good bye, maybe next year!" 😂😂😂

  • @MeowMeowKapow
    @MeowMeowKapow 6 років тому

    I used to have a somewhat complicated bujo with multiple things to track and multiple pages per month....but as time went on I realized that I could pare the entire thing down to one single page, that takes maybe 2 minutes to set up. If I feel like being fancy, I might add a second page with shopping lists and menu planning. I call it my “ugly, lazy bujo”....some day I’ll probably do a video on it.
    The thing that makes a bullet journal effective is it getting used. If yours is becoming too complicated for you to be excited about using, then paring down is totally the way to go. Hope this helps you!

  • @melonie42O
    @melonie42O 6 років тому

    I have tried writing mine out by hand, but I am trying to track so many things since my memory isn't so good. Plus right now until I have surgery (which I hope it fixes my issues) I have a hard time writing a lot or even do art lately. However, I feel like it is very beneficial for treatment and just looking for patterns to see if I can correct something. So I started just creating charts and calendars in word which are a lot faster and easier for me. Then I print them out and glue them in a notebook. Then if I feel up to it I can do some decor on them, and I mark things in different colored markers, pens, or highlighters which helps brighten my day a little.

  • @seaseagirl5298
    @seaseagirl5298 6 років тому

    This is why I could never make a bullet journal, I would probably just procrastinate every time I had to do it. The fact that you can get so far into a journal gives me a bit of hope whenever I watch these videos though!

    I've been going through a similar "funk" with my bullet journal. It's like I forgot why I started bullet journaling to begin with...I want to simplify my life, not make it more complicated. So I went with a much more simplistic theme this month as well. I think I'm going to enjoy it much more now!

  • @BrybryCreations
    @BrybryCreations 6 років тому

    I’ve ended up doing the same thing- I gave up on my bujo but then couldn’t keep track of all my lists and things to do so I had to go back to basics and just started doing daily lists in my journal and I keep a big monthly calendar for appointments and whatnot 🤗

  • @bradleyellis900
    @bradleyellis900 6 років тому

    Omg! I didn’t realise that your birthday is in July! Mines the 18th of July and I’m getting so excited! I literally did bullet journaling for like half a month and then stopped. I think sometimes you get busy and just don’t have the time. Don’t feel that you have to do these for us because yeah they are good videos but they are pointless if you don’t use them. Love ya ❤️

    I haven't been using my bullet journal as much either in June. I've just generally been busy and stressed out and kind of in a depression spiral and usually I'd end a comment like this in something uplifting but honestly I think commiserating is all I'm good for today.

    Hey, sorry to hear you’re dealing with a month without insurance/meds :/ I’m sure it will probably will be especially useful to keep a log/tracker of how you to have a clear picture of how you without them in the meantime.
    The actual reason I wanted to comment-when I saw the thumbnail for the video I thought it was a cool “Mars” theme, haha. (Mars will be the closest to Earth this month in well over a decade!) ❤️

  • @michaelsilverleafart4091
    @michaelsilverleafart4091 6 років тому

    Thanks so much for this vid, because I've been going through the same thing for the last two months. Setting the BuJo up and then not using it properly or - like last month - not using it at all. Maybe it's because of me being ill very often which comes with having regularly internship at an elementary school for about a year now or it's just because exams are up at university. I don't know ^^"
    But I don't want to give up on it because I love coing up with cool design ideas and for that I just changes everything up in my July design and hopefully it'll help a bit!
    Good luck to you with this minimalistic (and beautiful) setup! I love that it's so simple yet so gorgeous!

  • @jennyannart

    I thought it was funny to hear you swear, it's interesting to think we get a picture of what we think youtubers are like and then they do something that's out of character to us like swearing. It just shows your human. I wouldn't worry to much about not using the bujo as much. The fact that you're still doing the spreads is great it shows you're intention for the month and if it doesn't work out it's not a train wreck just keep going

Over the summer i hardly touch it because i dont have as much going on in my head so i keep everything there

  • @dancooper-jones
    @dancooper-jones 6 років тому

    I honestly don't think that anyone should have a say in how you chooses to express yourself. It's your life and you are an adult, so if you feel that swearing is appropriate for the situation, then that is your choice. Even though you make these bujo videos, you are still entitled to put inside anything you want, since it's yours! You're the one who sees and relates to it daily, so I don't see how someone that watches an 11min setup has any say. Sorry, rant over. Really love your videos. Xx

    This video was kinda creepy for me as I have fallen out of love with my bullet journal aswell. But all I can think of when I wonder why is just that I felt like I was over it. But I decided I am going to give one more month a try because I have almost filled up mine and once I have filled it then I was going to decide if I wanted to get another one or try something else. So I find it fascinating that we are both going through similar thought processes even though we are on either side of the world to each other.

  • @sarahfox5309
    @sarahfox5309 6 років тому

    Good for you! The guy who invented the Bullet Journal wasn’t intending it to be an art journal or sketch book etc. He has ADHD and using the bullet system with the forward and reverse arrows and the repetitive logs was his way of making things stick in his memory. It just happens that his system is highly adaptable and can be made “pretty” by creatives. I have ADHD as well and I try very hard to keep my journal simple and follow the bullet system so that my book is functional. @How to ADHD here on UA-cam has a couple videos about bullet journaling and interviews with the inventor of the bujo.

    I also hardly used my bullet journal in June. I've been having horrible allergies and been very busy at work, so at the end of the day I don't have the energy to go through my journal. Luckily for me I remember most of my planning by heart. It just got a little bit more chaotic. And so this month I'm also keeping it really simple with a touch of F*ck it. 😁 So no trackers of lists or whatever, just dailies
