I find these new videos so helpful. I'm still using the bujo as a planner instead of a journal. I'm not logging my thoughts but only tasks and appointments without (emotional) context which makes difficult to reflect. Also, I tend to avoid my bujo when I'm down or "unproductive". I think I need an smaller journal, so I can carry it with me, no excuses.
Same here ! I find a little bit intimidating to face my inner self through this bujo. I use a Clairfontaine notebook, 11 cm X 17 cm, 192 pages. Let's try to question and speak to ourselves as if we would do with our best friend, without judgement 🙂🌺
I noticed yesterday morning that I have become SO MUCH MORE ADEPT at understanding myself lately. Understanding what is causing me to feel how I feel, and being more able to figure out how to solve the underlying issues. I credit this entirely toward my (almost) daily habit of journaling. A lot of times My journal is just a few sentences, but it's still a time I spend to think constructively about my life.
what an incredible testimony. thank you for sharing, Tony. we have so much power in ourselves
Thank you so much for answering my question and providing such great information and tips!🧡 The insight about our memories and imagination working very close together within our vision of the short, mid and longterm was compelling and surprising. I’m excited to look more into it and try to be more aware of it! I can see how using the questions you provide as an example also help to reflect from a place of curiosity rather than judgement, and I’ll use them this month. And thank you very much for the bujoU access!
Thank you! It was a great question
Great question! So glad it got answered - very helpful!
Lisa, thank you again for your question! Please can you email support@bulletjournal.com so we can set you up on BuJo U!
For September reflection... I realize it isn't only about our performance. But also these new insights could make an impact to our hearts. It emotionally set me to new hope as well as lesson learned
I have been bullet journalling now for about 2 1/2 year, and I think that it is almost impossible to implement and benefit from all parts of the system from day one. It takes time to learn, but it is so worth while to let it take the time and include different aspects little by little. I think your videos are really helpful in this, to identify different parts and put emphasis on only those aspects that are most relevant for the moment. I have been busy making the most basic and miminal bullet journal work. Catching up on your videos, I feel ready for the next level, to gradually include more of reflections into my daily and weekly log (the weekly log is new to me - it seem very useful). Thanks for your pedagogical guidance.
I love these new videos - so helpful! Looking forward to the upcoming topics! Thank you for helping me understand that BuJo is not an elaborate to do list with the goal of getting things done but a way to learn to better take care of ourselves, and learn and understand more of our needs and our feelings.
I’m starting to get a feel for it - although there’s still a lot to figure out and understand.
I used to be very judgemental with myself and BuJo is helping me to switch to a curiosity and kindness which feels very new and amazing.
You placed across your passion for journaling in a clear and professional manner - well done keep up the good work!
100% accurate... Love Bujo when I finally got it: simple & effective. Poetry.
These videos are so helpful! I’m getting a clearer picture of what my reflections practice could look like for me now. One question I have, do you have any tips for incorporating therapy work into our Bujo practice? I know this can depend on the type of therapy one is doing, but in general, do you have any ideas of how I can carry over what I’m working on in therapy into my Bujo practice? Thanks for all that you do!
Im currently doing personal upskill projects just for me and this reminds me of product development in my solo thesis in college
I do not know what industry you were or currently in but this helps a ton because I have to constantly monitor developments and findings I get from these personal projects while i am upskilling.
Its so tedious that I have prepare a separate filing bullet journal for it.
Thank you so much you creator of this beloved system! Thank you for sharing this to us all
I hope you have a great week ahead 😘
MyQuestion:
I understand that Custom Collections can be a powerful tool. But I often fail to structure them well, especially if it is projects with many tasks of different types. Which strategies are the most powerful for creating and structuring custom collections?
Lovely!
History is imporatant in so much that we recognize what happened, and more important Learn from it.
Very insightful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
I'm so happy that I found the Bullet Journal Method four years ago. Since then I've been so much more productive but also more reflecting what I think and do. But what always has been a problem for me are subtasks. How do you manage/organize subtasks? Especially when some tasks come to mind later, but there is no space below the major task any more?
What a great way to put it. This is something I have been working on.
Question - What digital tools have people found to be helpful with bullet journaling? I just bought a Remarkable 2 and am excited to try this with it.
Thanks so much for these videos. So helpful.
So many people treat Bullet Journals as fancy to-do-lists (especially dailies). Reading your book recently I realised this is not their function at all and I would love to dig deeper. Please can you explain exactly how a daily differs from a to-do-list and also what is appropriate to journal WHEN during your day. Should you put some to-do-lists at the start before doing them? Or only as you do them? Or retrospectively? I see lots of people online skipping the Bujo dailies for some hybrid weekly but I think this is partially done misunderstanding exactly what the purpose of a daily is in terms of it being a tool for logging and capturing a snapshot of the day.
These videos are fantastic. I am wondering how to create a tracker system that connects my daily trackers to the weekly, monthly, and so on. Thanks!!
I love these videos; they are super helpful for me. I've been using BuJo only for 2 months but I see now this is the method I've been looking for years. Ryder mentioned in a previous video that he uses the same BuJo for his private and professional life. Do you have any tools and techniques how to yet separate/somehow differentiate them in your rapid logging?
This is great thank you. Question - how do you balance personal journaling/ goals with professional goals?
As I understand it, we record things in the bujo as they occur throughout the day. So if I completed a task, would I use a "task completed" bullet, a "note" bullet, or an "event" bullet if I wanted to document what I have already done? How do you choose which bullets to use for each entry? Thank you for making these clarifying videos! They have brought new focus to my bujo practice.
Thank you very much for that useful video. A question that comes up in my mind very often: How do you handle emotions in your daily BuJo practice? Would you prefer a special collection or give them a special bullet for marking in the daily log? Kind regards. Madlen
Some great suggestions thank you..before I can even think of reflection I need to actually use my Bujo..
Ryder I am very scatter brained so find I just don’t check in my by Bujo..any suggestions on how to make it a habit?
Question : I use many reminders every week (water plants, read X email folder...) that tell me what to do to avoid reading my email too often or not forgetting to do crucial stuff. How do you transfer all that into BuJo? Should I add those to the monthly calendar? Write all that every month?
Hey, I have had your and signed by you since visiting NYC, but I am a visual person and would love to do the Bojo with you so these videos are a little more helpful
Hi Ryder - I’m a huge fan of your videos and the BuJo practice so first and foremost - thank you for all the content. I am new to the practice and have spent the holidays combing through your book ‘The Bullet Journal Method’. I’m exciting to be starting my first Bullet Journal. I have a question:
When I’m doing my evening reflection on Monday and have tasks that’s outstanding from that day, do you suggest that these tasks be migrated to Tuesday or should I be reviewing Monday’s tasks in addition to new daily tasks throughout the week? How do we decide what and how often to migrate tasks - daily, weekly, monthly? Thanks
I'm grateful that you have taken the time to watch! Your question, the frequency of migration is what makes the most sense to you. What I will say is that on Tuesday, you have an opportunity to look at what is not done from Monday and check in whether they are still relevant to you, should it *really* be on your list, or should it be put off? Then you can put the task into your Monthly Log, Future Log, be canceled, or be done on Tuesday. IF that makes sense with your life. Does that make sense?
Do you write down your intentions for your BuJo and occasionally review them? If so, at what interval do you review and/or edit them?
Thank you for this input! I have adhd and difficulty sticking to routines or even starting one. So far I managed to use my Bullet Journal every other day, mostly for tasks and important appointments. Now I would really like to use reflexions regularly as a tool to learn more about myself. But this seems like an impossible task when struggling with executive dysfunction because of it’s nature as a mundane routine.
Do you have any advice on how to keep reflexion a bit more challenging, interesting or varied to stay curious as a person with adhd?
Thanks. Kim
What helped me was to start with bigger chunks. First by reviewing weekly how my past week went. At the end of the week I make a weekly set up for the upcoming week to remind me of my appointments an tasks :) and look back on the past week. How did I feel? What tasks where done and wich not? Why not? No judgement! What also helped me was to start every morning with a nice cup of coffee and my BuJo and think about the things I need to do and how I feel and think about it. I try to give myself a present (a break or something like that) when I've done something I find hard. Hope this helps!
Any advice on how to get kids and teenagers started on the bujo method?
I use bujo but only as what I did for the day. Every month I try to start using it for thoughts etc but find it impossible to carry the book all the time. I also have a problem reflecting. I cannot see any ‘emotional’ content as I am generally only emotional when things are going wrong. I wonder whether it is a good idea to keep going like this.
PS I am a ‘mature’ man looking for something to relate to.
Any idea ???
Great Reflection today.
My question is about the future of my BuJos, sometimes I see all the notebooks and ask myself, what is gonna happen with them if I die? Or in the long run when I am old? These are preciouse memories and info of who I am, but if probably will be away... My question is: Do you have a plan for this case? Or what would d be a suggestion in case we want to prepare?
Thanks!

I am a writer (by education and trade) and I have ADHD. Do you have any tips for using my bullet journal to help me reach my writing goals? (Like actually finishing writing a novel before I lose interest in the topic I'm writing about...)
I have a problem of being under organized and over organized. I can't find the right happy medium to help me actually be productive. I spend too much time organizing. Any tips?
4:23 be careful!
Hi! I really like these Q&A videos. Thank you. Should you tell more about how you use the BuJo along with any kind of digital note taking? I am often struggled in my daily practice. For example: For teaching I use an app, and all my classes and all my lessons and plans are there. But my daily tasks about teaching or the little informations goes into my bujo. And after i write them over. Do you suggest keep all things in my BuJo only?
I have a pretty stellar journaling practice already, but I want to shift more to the bullet journal system to avoid constantly just complaining on the page. I struggle with adhd, and returning to my notebook throughout the day proves to be difficult. Do you have any tips?
This is so relatable. It depends on your work. I work at a desk, so it is easy for me to keep my notebook open on the desk next to me. Seeing it throughout the day helps me continue using it
@@bulletjournal yeah. Stay at home mom life makes it much more difficult on days where I’m go go go. But at home I generally keep it open on my counter.
Could you provide guidance on how to use the bujo system with electronic apps, such as gcal and other e-systems?
Whoops, just found your video on this exact topic!
Obrigado pelo conteúdo. Como manter constância nos registros mesmo em dias acelerados de tarefas?
Thank you! I am quite judgemental towards myself and I feel I have to be nicer to myself sometimes. I feel that I often skip reflection because I don't want to give the stage to this judgemental voice in my head. However, in the long run I see that i really like reflecting.. Do you have tips for me?
There's the common advice to talk to yourself as you would talk to your friend. Others say that it's difficult to visualize that, so they use the "Rubber Duck" trick, where they literally have a little rubber duck that they can look at and talk with, which helps them flesh out ideas and maybe talk to an external presence with more kindness. And eventually, I think we all have to face that Judgmental Voice and tell them, "I hear you, thank you for what you're trying to do, and you're done now, have a seat."
If during my daily reflection come up thoughts about tasks for the next day, should I already write the next day date and write those tasks the night before?
Because that’s what comes up often for me, tasks for tomorrow. And I don’t know where to write them.
that makes sense especially if you have a daily reflection practice at the end of the day, you can get yourself prepared for the next day. some other bullet journalists use a weekly task dashboard which can capture tasks for the week as you think of them throughout the days, where you can quick offload tasks for the near future like a mini future log. Does that make sense?

How to improve the mental health with bullet journal ??
How can bojo help me with writing even when things aren't going well and feel down/upset?
I still don't have the habit of writing daily, reflection, planning, collections.😢
Actually, the BuJo can help the most when you are feeling this way. Perhaps you need an initial push by setting phone alarms as reminders to write even just a single line on how you're feeling in the moment, or what you are thinking. When you feel down or upset, push yourself to add another line about WHY that might be. Did something happen? Is there a familiar path your thoughts take in regard to your ability, your future, others in your life? Can you see clues in your notes about behaviors that *help*? Then you can adjust and make little plans of action to experiment with little changes each day
This great. My question is how would I use a bullet journal for a health journal in an effective way, for example to track weight, workouts, supplement etc. Currently I am sticking them to my daily events but I am wondering if there is a better way of tracking this type of habit.
I do a lot of health tracking in my bullet journal - mostly for the chronic health issues I have. I use a few different spreads for it. For exple I have a spread for my physical therapy exercises - I list the exercises down the left and put days across the top. Each day I fill in the column for the day - I put a diagonal line in each square and wrote the sets I did above it and the reps I did below (like 3/10). I use a "year in pixels" type spread for my main symptoms, and have converted the right page of my monthly spreads into a habit and sleep/water/etc tracker. It's worth doing some searches to see what other folks are doing - something like "bullet journal spread workouts" could turn up a lot.
Simple please
