To people who are anxious about keeping "perfect" bullet journals with no messy mistakes: when you step back and look at a messy journal, it can have the same aesthetic appeal as a distressed pair of jeans, a peeling barn door, a paint spattered easel... It will look "lived-in" and inviting.
Great way to look at it
stitch that as the prelude introduction to my journal
And sometimes the "mistakes" can be so interesting. I do my bullet journal in retrospect so I write down what happend and reflect on in in one step. Sometimes I write things down at the wrong date. And everytime I realize that this is something that is really important to me. Something that is so impactful on my life or feelings that I think it must have happend earlier then it did.
It’s raw and real. Like the difference between a pristine book and one with dog eared pages and a tattered cover that you’ve clearly found comfort in more than once. And that’s the point kind of, right?
Thank you for saying this. I’ve started journaling and I keep looking at mistakes and imperfections in such a toxic way.
Trying to change my mindset 🤓
Thank you, I finally get it. The way other people presented it, I saw it as a yearly, monthly, weekly and daily to-do list/planner and I never managed to keep up. Now I finally understand it's not the goal to keep up with my to-do planner, it's the goal to log what I did, why I did it and how I felt. Only took me a full decade to finally understand :)
It can be as much, or as little as you want. You can add stuff in, or take stuff out. There is a plethora of ways to bullet journal. Its personal to you!
There's a reason "journal" is in the name. Its not a rigid system, its a record. And it stops working if it gets in the way of the life its meant to support.
I feel cheated, lol
I think we've thought of it as yearly/monthly/weekly/daily to-do because that's the way people are teaching it. I mean...if people taught bullet journaling the way Ryder just said..there would be few to no videos to make! ;)
And I finally get it TOO! Amazing...makes total sense to me now.
"It's not a dad bod, it's a father figure."
😂
This joke is so good I shall steal it, say it as though I just thought of it off the top of my head. Then, when people laugh and tell me, "ohhh, you're so smart and witty", feel smart and witty
Then I'll write it as a note in my bullet journal. Then reflect back and realise I'm a terrible human being because not only am I not as smart or witty as Trezker, but I'm a joke thief. Then one day, my son (and/or his half siblings [which I hope he doesn't have but who knows?]) or my future life forms will find my bullet journal and say, "He was a father figure in the figurative and literal sense, but he wasn't as witty and funny as we thought because he's a joke thief, who really should've worked out more rather to fix his fatherly figure (which might have been more maternal because it's like a paternal pot belly) than just write weird youtube comments".
The epitome of a dad joke
@Amante I feel the need to tell you how much I appreciate the effort you put into this
I genuine laughed at this. Especially the end. Just thought I’d let you know 2 years later
Rules of Bullet Journaling:
1) Don't let anybody tell you how to do it properly.
2) Always try new things.
3) Keep the useful, throw away the rest.
4) When in doubt, refer to rule 1.
While 1 is true if it's working for you, number 2 applies as well when people tell you new ways to journal. It's good to try new things, don't avoid it just because they told you to do it.
Eer, no. There's a way for BuJo, the core way. There's a whole book by Ryder about it.
As someone trained in mental health the idea of approaching a situation with curiousity is very helpful to healing and kindness. For example, "talking to this person makes me really uncertain and scared" replaced with "I'm curious, without expectation, about what this person has to say" instantly changes perspective. Give it a try!
"Fancy cheeses matter" is a highly important takeaway
I appreciate that the intent is not to-do. It's not about productivity. It seems like it's more about understanding and health. Productivity seems to be the social currency of of person's value, and I hate that. It's external motivation and external reward, and no one rewards you for productivity. They expect it. Where this is spreading journaling throughout your day. It helps you remember not only what you need to do, but what you did and how you felt. It helps you understand who you are. And that's pretty cool.
I really like and appreciate this comment
I haven't watched a ton of Ryder's explanations of bullet journaling, but the "log" nature of the journal, as opposed to "planning ahead," makes so much sense and I want to go back and try bullet journaling again! Thanks Wheezy!
Exactly this! :)
Chyna's "Divorce time" sounded just like Craig's mom HAHA
same thought. also Craig tells a lot of jokes. which were the problem of his parents. so its a loop.
Is he doing l long term experiment on marrying someone similar to his mother?
I think the far less freudian and more likely answer to this is that Craig wrote the jokes told by both his parents and Chyna in that sketch and they sound similar because they're both Craig
The joke won't get old.
It's funny that you say that b/c I thought Craig was starting to sound a LOT like his dad in a recent news video, haha.
I kept a "Book of Awesome" for the better part of a year back in like 2016, where I only listed the awesome things that made each day better, even things as small as "I had one more granola bar left than I thought." The intention was to focus myself on the positive. The biggest issue I had keeping it was that I couldn't always wrote in it, so I was constantly taking notes on little slips of paper and sometimes falling behind on recording them in the book. It is really fun to read back through.
I keep a regular diary, but I put a little footnote every day on a thing that made me happy. It's been keeping my spirits up.
I started keeping what I call a Positivity Log in March 2020 (before the pandemic), which was a perfect time to start. I write one positive thing about the day before I go to sleep that night. When I can't think of anything, I write something that makes me happy, such as "I like watching UA-cam videos."
I have to keep entries very short because the planner is pocket size. It's actually a Japanese appointment book with adorable characters. If I forget a day, I write down two things to fill in the blank space.
It's great to look back on and it has helped keep me positive, to look at the glass half full. And I remember all the goals I've accomplished, big and small. From a successful job interview to making a delicious dinner. Or just the things I love. It's great and I recommend everyone should try their own positivity log.
I love this, thank you!
having a bonus granola bar is literally awesome
I love Chyna’s sense of humor! And Craig’s of course though I can never tell whether it’s him or a clone
yess that body laughing bit was excellent hahaha
8 Month update! I can't believe I managed to stay journaling for more than a month for once.. my trusty bullet journal has been with me for a country relocation, new job, house purchase and my daughter's 4 to 5 year. I can't express how good it feels to look back and these pages and have such a cool story just out of summaries. And, its so cool to see how we can refer our story from renting to owning and to see the things that went well and those that didn't - I bet this might help our daughter when its her turn to buy in a few decades haha
I did slip up, and once I stopped writing for a week, it became 2 weeks, and now I had to restart - but even if I miss some timeframes, the format is simple enough to jump back in.
I have to say, its all thanks to you guys.. I wouldn't have found this bullet journaling without this video.
When I was in Peace Corps, I was doing bullet journaling even though I had never heard of the concept. I just had a small cheap notebook that I carried around wherever I went, and called it my Agenda (the Spanish agenda, not the English). It kept me organized and helped me to remember upcoming events, but it was really a lot more than just a to-do list or a calendar. I took notes, wrote new words I learned, wrote about my happiness or frustration. It was a very useful tool for remembering people's names, because I SUCK at names, especially when they are from a different culture. There was no good way to do it digitally because this was pre-smart phone era in a place with no electricity, but to be honest I still prefer just a pen and paper. In short, my Agenda was an integral part of my Peace Corps experience. I kept those notebooks afterwards because they really were a messy yet insightful record of those 2 years.
Okay this actually helps me a lot. Thanks for digging deeper into it. I also have ADHD and this explanation makes the endeavor whole lot more appealing. I really hate goal focused todos and cannot make myself be consistent about following them. I want to be responsive to my real life experiences. But I could benefit from better awareness of my own behavior.
i have been bullet journaling (to great success) for nearly 6 years now, and this video (and interview) legit just changed how and why i do it. thank you Craig for being so freaking dope all the time
This is my favorite bullet journaling video ever! Any time I feel like I'm entering a lull and not using my bullet journal properly and therefore brain lagging, I come back to this video. This is the most helpful video on bullet journaling I've ever watched (outside of the OG Carroll method video).
Dang it, why are even your ads funny and nice to watch?!
I love doing artistic bullet journals because that's what kind of calms my mind whenever I'd do it. So I will preface for anyone who has seen those types of bullet journals, if you know they don't work for you, don't do them, if you want to try it -- go for it, there's no harm in trying! But don't do it because everyone else is doing it, what's the point in having a bullet journal if you're creating it for others, isn't it -- YOUR bullet journal?
But also, I see so many people trash on the people who make artistic bullet journals and it's so just counterproductive. If you don't like it, don't do it, if you do, then do. You can also log in the future if you want, I usually did a monthly log and a weekly log, is that against what Ryder said? Yeah. But it's MY bullet journal, not Ryder's.
Another thing: I really doubt most people are doing artistic journals, they're probably just the ones sharing their's the most. Realistically if your journal just looks like messy notes, you won't want to share it. The opposite is true as well, if a page from your journal looks amazing, you're more likely to want to show it off as a little piece of art, which is then more likely to make the rounds of social media than a bunch of messy scribbles
@@yeti25934 yeah I do wonder the percentage of like people who do artistic journals compared to those who don't. I hate that the perception is that more so artistic, but it's like you said.
Yeah the whole "don't plan ahead" thing would never work for me. I don't really use my bullet journal for reflection but rather for stress reduction and part of that is being able to time block for one or two weeks out and knowing that I don't need to worry about forgetting appointments. For me, the creative process of making my spreads is almost therapeutic and I'm always obsessed with how they come out. But to each their own; it's my bullet journal.
@@themapoe No I feel the exact same way. Planning for the future was just something that made me at peace, especially with my anxiety and my forgetfulness (which turns out to be adhd lmfao).
I agree with you, everyone should use their bullet journal the way that it works best for them. I love doing a more artistic approach because I love drawing but I always feel like I don't take enough time to just doodle and sketch. So my bullet journal in a way is a sketchbook, a journal and a planner which works really great for me but that doesn't mean that that is what works for others. I'm pretty sure Ryder might have said this somewhere before (correct me if I'm wrong) but his way of bullet journaling is just an idea of how it can be done but there is technically no rules or specific guidelines to how it needs to be done.
I refused to even try BUJO for years because all of the artistic layouts were overwhelming and not functional at all for me. It wasn't until someone suggested that I watch Ryder's videos on the original set up and the intention behind it that I finally tried it and it's been awesome! Right now I'm still just doing the super basic original layout to establish the habit of using it daily first before I start thinking about what else I should add to it. It really has been helpful and more useful for me than formal planners.
3:33 it's about not what, but why we're doing it
4:16 you write your task not ahead of time, in real time. If you need to plan ahead, write it in your collection
5:20 designed to cope with add
5:39 important thing is reflection. Does it need to be done and why and how you felt.
6:49 if you find yourself not doing it, reduce your bujo time
8:33 a real notebook forces to go offline. Taking longer is important to think about your life
9:44 you make a mistake and decide that it doesn't matter, you forced to be more honest with yourself, without judgement
I do stream of consciousness journaling but only when I'm feeling all the feels and need to stop going in circles. It helps me get my feelings out once and for all and helps me process difficult situations. I don't date the entries, I don't write legibly, it's just the act of writing that really helps me process my emotions. If you were to look back at my journal you would think I was a miserable person because I only journal when I'm going through something. It works quite well for me!
that sounds interesting!
I journal pretty much exactly like this!
I also do this the beter I feel the beter they look
When you do this you use the bullet points? I've tried doing this and it's life changing
I've been a journal-keeper most of my life, just a daily diary sort of thing, and I have a notebook for daily to-do lists, but I think Chyna's method might help me build and maintain momentum on learning new things or keeping up with new habits. Excited to try!
I always go in and out of consistently bullet journaling. Even though it’s helpful I find myself falling off the wagon. This video just inspired me to pick it back up!
I'm in the same situation and I really appreciate the conversation with Ryder about notes. Today is the first day of a new month, an invitation to try again 😉
Same!
my favorite part about bullet journals is that after stopping for a while I just turn to the next page and pick it right back up! there's no empty pages to flip through like a planner, and the completionist in me is happy :)
You are the KING of UA-cam product integrations! Always love seeing your family in the videos... xoxo from Germany
Did.... Did I just watch this whole thing and not hear a "shirt" censor joke? Well... -shirt-!
Glad to see ya doing thing. It's nice to hear a simplified version of how to journal as I always have too many elaborate ideas hha
Can't believe I just watched the whole sponsored part. You got me this time.
Omg I love the ad part. I don't care about this shirt since hahaha I'm broke, but this is comedy gold.
Oh man! Finally I know how to do it properly! I'm a perfectionist and bullet journaling all my goals and trying to achieve them brought me a burnout. I gave up on the idea of bullet journaling after realizing this, but after this video I might give it another try. Keep it short & simple & imperfect. Thank you!
I love how this gets to the core of bullet journaling. My biggest struggle with it is still perfectionism.
If it makes you feel any better, you're not the only one that did it as a task list initially! I think most Bullet Journallers here on UA-cam do it that way and that's why there's that misconception. That is OKAY. I love bullet journalling because it is a personal approach to journalling. Some weeks I just have task lists separated from a line a day style, and other days I have full on novels of journalling but minimal tasks haha. It's just a system to help our brains focus and keep track of things. I LOVE IT.
Once you find your groove isn’t it so amazing!!
@@mickaelladouglas4373 it's great!
I do it more as the task list/diy planner/catch-all notebook as that’s how I learned it. My guess is it sort of evolved into that.
I think bullet journaling is one of those things where there’s really no one right or wrong way to do it.
I didn't realize the "journal" part of bullet journaling until I watch this video actually; I use the alastair method for tracking my work tasks which helps me at the end of the week (but let's face it, the month) when I have to enter all of my billable time into the company project tracker. On the one hand it helps me remember what I did weeks after the fact, on the other it means I can put off exporting my billable time for a whole month...
I think starting out using it as a to do list is *how* you develop the habit of using it daily. Some people just need that and that's fine! Others evolve as a result of using it daily and figure out along the way what they need/want.
I did bullet journaling for about 6 years. It was my savior in high schools and at the start of university. Clearly I did it "wrong", or at least not the original way, but it did the job. I used it mostly for writing to-do lists, challenges, goals, gift ideas, etc. But I also had short journal entries, hobbies and my progress with them, habit trackers, sleep and mood trackers, important events, etc.
Now I just write to-do lists on random pieces of paper and only use a bullet journal during exam season in order to keep my life together.
Probably the BEST video about bullit journaling .... doubt i would have watched you otherwise. But you sold me. Brilliant
Yes! I started bujo in September and watched Ryder’s videos, and your original video. I’m glad to see you revisited. I am an artist and so I felt a pressure to make my journal artistic. After reading Ryder’s book, I know that keeping it simple makes more space for creativity. Some days I find I avoid looking at the journal when I realize I didn’t get stuff done that I wanted to but I haven’t stopped yet! I have a growing number of collections and I have set a lot of goals! It’s given me something to look forward to in this stagnant pandemic time. It’s helped a lot with mental health. Anyway! I’m just excited to talk about it with anyone. Cheers!
The is the best video I’ve watched on bullet journaling. And I’ve watched like a million videos, I think... Thank you for this.
Hm that makes me question if my "bullet journal" really is a bullet journal. I don't have a daily log because I know that if I have too much space for one day I will Overplan. Instead I have two pages for one week so I can see the plan for the whole week and not Overplan. Also I definitely put some tasks down in advance, usually on the weekend when I make my spread for the next week. It helps me not double-book myself.
In General I don't think there should be a right or wrong way to bullet journal and this works well for me, so I am going to keep doing it
Ryder Carroll's book specifically (though very briefly) mentions Weekly spreads, either as a substitute for the daily log in quiet weeks or a supplement in extra-busy weeks. As I see it the defining feature of bullet journalling is the bullet-form rapid log (hence the name), which can go into a weekly layout just fine. I see weeklies as a sort of daily-monthly hybrid. And as you say, do what works for you and don't worry too much about the definitions XD
I used to use the classic method following the video I saw from Ryder Carroll, but I found that I needed more structure in my day to and in order to get that I started planning out my weeks more by using a weekly spread. Being able to plan my weekly housekeeping tasks has helped me a lot, even if Ryder Carroll thinks that it's "pointless" to keep track of those things.
I find that's the beauty of bullet journaling. You can format it however you want to do it.
I did traditional bullet journaling from 2019 to two months ago this year. It was beginning to be too much work so now I’ve been using Notion as a bullet journal. I use my own templates and right now it’s working really working for me. No nonsense, there aren’t drawings and doodles that might distract me, and I can use it on my phone, iPad and computer so wherever I am I can just whip it out. I think traditional bullet journaling is much more meaningful and I retain things a bit better, but throughout life you need different tools and that’s A-okay. I used to take an hour+ just to complete one page because I’m an artist and like things to be neat and creative, but digitally it takes me around 10min.
Your bullet journal is your own to shape and create in. Make it something YOU enjoy so that you can stick with it. And if you don’t like bullet journaling? It’s okay to stop. 🙂
I've kept a bullet journal since 2015! Definitely I ended up evolving it over the years into something that works for me.
great way to inject humor into the mix! Zero pressure is a valid objective.
Thank you for making this video, now I understand the Real intention behind bullet journaling. I watch a lot of ‘how to’ bullet journal stuff on UA-cam and it always baffled me how people just set up their whole monthly and weekly spreads beforehand, with To-Do blank spaces and empty squares everywhere to be filled and it made me so stressed because how do you know you’re gonna have 3 things to do by that Tuesday huh????? Why just 3? What are you gonna write in that blank square on Monday? What if nothing happens on Wednesday but you’ve left that space wide open while on Sunday there’s a bunch of stickers covering the writing space?
Now I get it.
I never knew what a bullet journal was supposed to be until this video! Even after watching Ryder Carroll's video, I didn't realize that it was actually supposed to be a log of your day. I always thought it was more similar to a planner than a traditional journal. Now the name "Bullet Journal" Makes so much more sense.
I have been bullet journalling for almost a year now and it's been such a great exercise. My habit trackers are so informative, definitely helping me become more self-aware. I do like the artistic aspect, but I'll do one elaborate month followed by one really simple one etc. I like the process of making mistakes in the design or writing, and just accepting and moving on.
Chyna is great, but I've never loved her more than in this episode 🥰
HECKIN ADORABLE, I tells'ya what 💕
After YEARS of searching of a video that perfectly explains to my family and friends who are not artistically inclined or have good handwriting and associate journaling, bulleting, planning, and of course bullet journaling with such qualities, today it was delivered to me in the form of a youtube notification. Thank you
Your conversation with Ryder was so informative and insightful! Ryder is not saying anything different but it’s said in context, which makes easier to connect to one’s own reality. Ryder needs to link this in his various channels.
Thank you for this update! I started bullet journaling for the first time this year, and while it started as an over the top to do list, I found it has over the months turned into an actual journal of my thoughts and feelings. Which is interesting to hear that is actually what it was meant for in the first place.
Weezer - I love that your journal looks just like mine - rushed handwriting and hand drawn lines. Love the video as I am having the same experience.
Best thing I’ve ever seen on the topic of bullet journaling. Never made sense before. I really get it now and want to use it. Thanks wheezy waiter, no kidding. 🤗❤️💕
Pretty planning is visual clutter. I have mental health issues that cause issues with my memory. Writing everything down in a clean, concise form. I need a notebook to put down thoughts that come and go before i forgetbthem.
I keep my notebook for a slew of tasks and subtasks and to-dos and meeting/general notes mostly. At the end of each day I have a "line a day" journal where I briefly jot down what I did during the day and how I feel, and I get to look back on the same day previous years.
For observations and ideas and recipes etc... things that I want to reference back to later, that all goes into my notes app so I can access it anywhere from my phone and computer
First and foremost I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! I subscribed a while back and somehow your vids got lost in the shuffle. Love everything from the Tees, the Beard Fest to his Chyna’s body laughs. Great talk with Ryder. He’s super good looking.
I’ve honestly always thought that the most attractive bullet journals are just _full_ ones and that can look like a lot of things, honestly.
I LOVE the way you do ads integrations
This was hugely helpful to me! I love bullet journaling but that real time insight was a huge thing I was missing. I only looked at my journal in the morning and the evening.
Oh. I’ve been getting this bullet journaling so wrong. I did trackers for a bit and then it was mostly to do lists and exercises in prioritising work. To think I could write down how I feel about things I see, read and do. And then reflect on that. It’s mind blowing. The honesty of it. Wow. Epiphany, as you say. Thank you - an extremely useful video.
To do lists are for calanders. Journals are for thoughts and feelings and mental clarity. Using daily questions as prompts to help change your mindset. I mostly have been following Struthless for stuff like this but I stumbled upon this video when looking for other perspectives and new writing prompts.
@@PredictableEnigma Thanks. Tell me more about Struthless, sounds really interesting.

@@PredictableEnigma Oh wow that's kind of you. What do you like about him the most?
This is an even better explanation than the official bullet journaling video! And it convinced me... that this method is not for me. Bullet journaling requires way more maintenance that it'll become a task/chore in of itself. The whole "it's about reflection" is the main reason a lot of other methods don't work for me. I never end doing the reflection and maintenance required to make it work. Because it's a task and I'll procrastinate and I'm not interested.
Not to mention it works best for those who are already motivated or have energy on a daily basis. Something neither applies to me.
I understand the separation from technology, but for someone like me I'm not at the place where I can deal with maintenance of paper. I use apps for tracking my mini-habits (it's all colored and pretty with progress tracking in 4 different ways) and journaling (I don't reread, it's for emotional regulation and dumping and decluttering thoughts); paper pad for to-dos for quick jotting and a notebook for executive functioning on projects.
It's chaotic and I may not be too productive, but I'm loads better than I was the last 2 years ago.
“Me me me me me me, myself, myself, yours truly.” 😂
I never comment, but i must say that it was adorable when Chyna snuggled in your neck! Super sweet and living. It shows that you guys remain loving and close. Well done! Great example for others. More snuggling in the future, please!!!
He’s so lovely… his poetry is breathtaking 🌟
What a great way to learn about yourself. And learn where you enjoy spending your time and where you don’t so you can get more enjoyment out of life. My dinner food decisions are not what I like to eat but instead what my family likes to eat. On very rare occasion I find myself alone for dinner and I have no idea what I want to eat. This type of journal could help me learn what foods I enjoy eating. Because I have no idea. That’s Life 🤷♀️
“Why did you blur your camera?” - bullet journal entry for 10/1/21
More than likely, True asked him to blur any known brands from his video to keep the focus of the sponsorship on their product instead of anything with name brands. It's pretty common practice for a lot of these companies.
@@hiddentidesgaming I thought this was discreet adult humor. “Censoring” that portion because of the. erm. shape? 😅😮💨😂
@@pitita585 Nope, it's the brand name they are blurring out, tons of these brands will ask for that when sponsoring videos such as this.
Chyna's journal is amaaazing
OMG! YOU ARE FUNNY! Thank you for sharing. Great perspective from Ryder, you and your Chyna (China).
Your first bullet journal video inspired me to try it, and I have been doing it since! I started it and about a month later my grandma began to need a lot of help, and then broke her ankle. It’s been really helpful to have my planner and task lists and notes all together for me to go through. I feel a bit less overwhelmed compared to when I was caring for my other grandma about 3 years ago.
I went through the same thing - tried a "fru-fru" journal for a while, gave up on it, went back and actually followed Ryder's instructions, and suddenly everything made sense. I haven't looked back!
I haven't watched a WheezyWaiter video in a few years but I just bought a Bullet Journal and it would appear that that brought me back here.
Wow, that video helped me it a lot! I’m Bullet journaling since years. I know Ryder’s book and this video. I started with the pretty kind of journaling without really knowing about Ryder’s method but came to his method and to that minimalist style. I like it a lot. It gives me structure and I can find my thoughts again. But hearing you both talking about it brings so much more info to me. About the “Why” for example. Thank you! I found your channel not long before and like it very much. Subscribed under the first video I saw. 👍
I'd love to see details of Chyna's pages. Her journal looks so interesting, and I'd love to see how she does the trackers
Totally loved chynas lists...they felt purposeful yet fun. There were tasks, goals, reading, future thinking...very cool.
The collections being anywhere in my notebook was an epiphany for me. Seriously I wasted time trying to strategize where to place them so I wouldn't run out of space on my dailies lol. Just plop em the page after the one you're on and index it, can always be found!
I know it would make sense but something inside of me just keeps screaming ‚noo it must be in the front or at the start of a month!‘. Guess I should at least try it out though, maybe it really is the better way.
Your video made me realize that my bullet journal has become just a place to keep my work schedule, and why my regular journal is collecting dust. I need to try this method!
I recently started bullet journaling and am using it mostly for tracking my tasks. Your video helped me focus on intentions and notes and most importantly reflect on them regularly. Great video!
this is the best video of bullet journaling i’ve seen and also the best video of a marriage
watching this in the New Year, I am inspired to draw a bookshelf of books read-brilliant.
Bullet journaling while watching a video about bullet journaling. I did some modifications to the system to make it work for me, I like seeing all 30days of each month next to the month ahead and flip back to the month behind instead of having them scattered throughout the book. Sometimes I don't put enough months and have to add disjointed months later in the book and sometimes I underestimated how quickly I would use it. All of it works and collects thoughts and dates and ideas in a way that morning else has done.
I've been using Notion to keep my own ADHD in check, as far as work goes, but personal life, not so great at doing that, like not at all. I have journals and notebooks sitting on my desk staring at me, wondering if I will ever pay attention to them. One thing I do use for personal life is my Google Keep - That's where I put all the random thoughts and ideas that might be useful later on. I appreciate hearing how other people manage their brains. Excellent stuff, thank you!
This video kept showing up in my recommendations for months. I'm glad I finally watched it because I think this is what I need. I have a full planner but find myself not using it as much I try to plan ahead when that's not how my life is. I still have a ton of planners to use though so rather than waste them, I'll definitely incorporate this method in them.
I wish there was a way to give this video more than a thumbs up.
This is head and shoulders above most "likes" I like.
That True Classic clip is the best ad I have ever seen! 😂
commenting for algorithm cuz wheezy comes off as very friendly and i would love for him to be happy with the success of a good video
This video makes me want to pick it up again. I wasn’t treating it like a journal at all. I need this to get myself back in check.
Adorable couple! Always authentic and comfortable with comedic playfulness!
Came here for the bullet journal content, stayed (and will return) because of that cool add-block at the beginning and skipped to the next video to see, if you have stuff like this in all of your vids 😆
Well darn. This was enlightening! Definitely going to give this way a try.
This really changed my view of bullet journaling!
So there are no guns involved in bullet journaling?... 😬I've been doing this very very wrong
Love your simple honesty. Am month and half back into Bujo. Bumped into your video and enjoyed ❤️👍🏼. Mine is minimalist includes bit of stamps and washy tape, for extra focus and make some spreads easier to find.
😂😂😂 the T-Shirt ad, awesome 🎉
This is wonderful, I had tried Bullet Journaling but it was definitely overwhelming in the way I was trying to do it. Def going to try it again.
I love bullet journaling. Mainly, because like you said, it’s a log for capturing things and the net result it becomes a reflection of what is important to you, how you get things done, and how you view the world.

“Why is the camera blurred out?”
ITAR, that’s classified guided missile technology
Finally someone explained the system the way I understood it the best. Thanks for this video, I'm gonna try this whole bullet journaling thing again
I had a bujo for some years by now. I read/listened to Ryder Carols book a few times. And watched a lot of different youtubers on the topic. This video is THE VERY FIRST TIME I understood the importance of notes and the daily logging. Yeah, it was mentioned in the book, but I never thought it was absolut center of the usefullness of the system. And reflection did not even really occure to me... I just looked back once I was in a similar situation again and wanted to see with which kind of spread I solved the situation before. Or to remind myself that I already done a similarly hard examseason.
Great video! I had all the same misconceptions about bullet journaling. Thank you for clarifying!
Amazing approach to journal! It's a whole lot better way to live in moments! Thanks for your video!
Thee best explanation of the bullet journal that has made sense to me in 4 months. Farking best! Now I get it. Thank you for this. I appreciate the comments about it not being about the goals and it just being about stuff being written down and not spending too much time worrying about it. Thank you.
I do a little combination between Ryder's bullet journal and a more usual planner type deal. I will plan some tasks ahead if they need to be finished for a certain time, but it's never on a permanent basis. I think my bullet journal always floats between sometimes pretty, sometimes messy and sometimes planning ahead vs sometimes just doing it for the day 😆 I love how bullet journalling usually takes YEARS to figure out how it can work for a specific person. I think i have found my way for now, but I know it will change in the future. Loving this video just as much as the rest of them, but the first time I could actually share my thoughts on it ❤
I LOVE that you did this video to clarify bullet journaling. I tried the pretty trackers and I was so unmotivated to fill it out because it had to be “perfect”. I’m going to give it another go. Fantastic content as always. Your sense of humor is the best!
These two are hilarious, and Ryder Carrol seems very cool and laid back.
I love the show about the true classic 👕 shirt - awesome!
So glad you found the right intentions to do it correctly! Love your content!!!
