Thanks for watching, let's get it!! 🤝
I love the idea of having a bullet journal each year on your birthday instead of new year... for some reason this way it seems more personal to me
Thats good idea. I wonder # of pages per journal book i can get like 365 paged journal book.
FML born on Jan 1. 😭😭😂😂
Born on 31st december so pretty much the same for me 😂
I stumbled across your original journaling video a few months back, and as a result i FINALLY was able to find a process of journaling for me that i stick to and works. Your way of journaling allowed me to enjoy it, see value from it and integrate it into my daily routine. Thankyou!
I switched to your method of journaling on the day you posted the last video and I haven't looked back since! I'm a HS teacher and I plan to teach this method to my students in the fall! Thank you!
i started journaling after your last life tracker video, and it has given me such an appreciation for time and how quickly it goes, so i thank you very much!
just started watching your orginal video this week and started doing journaling today. This video came out at the right time. Keep up the good work!
I tried to use an app for habit tracking or journaling, but I somehow always come back to using pen and paper. feels more personal. Keep up, man!
You finally helped me understand what was bothering me with the bullet journal system! It's focused on planning the future when I am looking for a system to keep track of what happened and when. Thanks for that.
I recently started a small journal similar to some from this channel. Gotta say, it's helping. Makes tracking your day super easy but also allows for highlights of that particular day, emotion tracking etc etc. So thank you very much.
I have been using your method for the third month. The first page is generally similar, but instead of marking habits, I note activities related to my main directions. At the bottom of the page, there's a summary for the month. The second page outlines the main goals for the month. Then comes a list of to-do tasks that fills the entire page and its back. On the fourth page, there's a short list of the top 3-4 tasks for each day. All ideas are recorded by date in a different color. If the task list fills the entire page, I transfer unfinished tasks and new tasks forward, and then the daily planner continues. At the end of the month, the old pages are fastened with a clip so that the notebook opens directly to the beginning of the current month.
Smart! Make a video about it! 😊
Great expansion on your earlier video, btw! I've just recently discovered your system, but watching your two videos back-to-back is very interesting indeed. 😊🙏
Your last video realy helped me to start AND remain keepping a journal and track en my habbits. It feels so satisfying to do it every day and track what i did. I am now in the place where i want to do it first thing in the morning and feels very good to do every time
I watched you original video a few weeks ago and you solved my issues with bullet journal lol I used to just plan everything but I always dropped my notes because sometimes I honestly don’t have anything going on to write down and plan.
But now I’m using your system and for the first time ever I’m actually enjoying journaling and I’m finding it easier to track my thoughts and objectives
yessss! already using it since the first video, love it!
Hi from Brazil :D Man! It definitely works! I saw your first video last month and decided starting it... I can say that it was the one of the best decision I could take this year! thanks for sharing!
I loved this system! Thanks for sharing. 🎉 I’m looking forward to watch your note taking video.
Love this 💪 it looks like such a great way to organize everything.
After watching this, I realised that I have already used a similar method to prep for my exams in my bullet journal. Breaking goals into weeks though unlike your monthly, but similar trackers and guides. Thanks for sharing.
Been using the life tracker for 2 months now. Going awesome. Fun to look back at stuff
Yes thank you! I’ve been journaling and have been wanted to use this method but just haven’t started yet. But thank you I’m starting this now
Great video, mate. Thank you!
Also, I would be interested in a video about your note taking system and maybe about your digital productivity system :)
I don't know if many men have a diary, I have one and I write on it almost every day before sleeping. I like to go back to my old diaries and read what I was doing 3 or 5 years ago. It's like a time machine.
Agreed, it’s a cathartic way to relieve stress in the moment, and it’s interesting to look back at what I was doing, what I was interested in, and my worries at the time.
looking forward to the next video
keep it up
I would go back to your other life tracking video to reference my journal, and this video has just dropped in time to revamp for April 🎉🎉
Amazing video, thanks a lot.🎉
Great work 🎉
Great videos. Journaling is a true life hack!
Would love to see your note taking system!
Anybody with ADHD struggle with keeping up with journaling?
Idk if this should be helpful for you, but there are times where writing something down on paper feels more tedious, but “talking” it out would be more effective…so I take a walk outside and put on my headphones and record myself talking through my situation with myself. I ask myself questions, and force myself to answer truthfully (then I delete the recording!!! Hahaha) it has helped me reallllly work through some stuff. By the time I’m done walking, I usually have a new insight or approach. Thennn I go into my journal, write out the highlights and my new insights/action steps, etc.
Hi Reysu! I'm going to implement your system. I've been journaling for about two years since a break up and it's helped me move past it and keep moving forward. It's game changing. So, if I'm doing it right, I can just add two monthly pages of trackers and in between I can add regular journal entries documenting how I feel, problems I'm trying to solve, etc? Thank you!
Patiently waiting for the weekly reysu upload...
it's coming tomorrow!!! thanks for waiting, sorry took a small vacation
@@reysu glad to hear you are taking care of yourself, thank you for the quality uploads
I have to say... Tracking what you accomplished rather than planning for the future is a pretty good way of getting yourself aligned. We can get motivated and properly plan for future to-dos this way. Also, aside from the advice here, I'm thinking you should change the way you have the camera angled in your videos. It's like I'm looking from a slightly higher position at you. If you move your head a little bit up, your video composition would be even better! Food for thought! 😅
I tried it for one month and it just shaped my life for that period of time but for one month I didn't do it and I really felt that I am not on a track now I am starting it again just making setup in my diary and will do it for the may month
let's go brother!! you got this
I got it. You gotta make a video guide on the guide...it's kinda long lol.
Leucht was pretty good. turm could be better. It sounded more like term.
Still awesome work!
should I mark the task if I have completed it 50 per cent or more or leave it
Hey, if I understand correctly, this for journaling. But how do you track your appointments and to dos? Do you use a separate notebook/planner?
I use a combination of a digital system and a pocket journal for those! Appointments really make more sense to use digital imo since they could often change. I use an app called Things3 and also my digital calendar
What about digital journal?
What do you think on journaling using a tablet instead of a journal. Im asking since my biggest fear is to lose the journals or to forget them somewhere and consequently lose all my tracking and all ghe thoughs that were meticulously accumulated during a fixed time span
Suggestion for an alternative to digital journaling if you turn out to not liking it: writing in smaller and thinner journals, for example pocket sized ones. They fill up quicker, that way IF you end up losing it, you don't lose as much.
Hey Reysu! i would like the purchase the ebook, but i only have paypal, is there an option to pay with paypal (i didnt see it on your site) (:
Gotcha! Could you email me reysuyt@gmail.com? Could do it manually
just realized its tad difficult to maintain concentration on the info. when you find the speaker very cute
How to learn to edit like you broooo
Okay this is a great video but how is no one mentioning the example yearly goal, "Save $100,000"...
Who in the heck is finding this to be a relatable goal lmao
it's just an example, what are your goals like?
@@reysu lol my goal is similar, but the amount is on a more realistic order of magnitude.
Yeah i love journeling until i don’t 😂
well you don't gotta do it every day, only on days when you love it
I think it's surprising you'd consider 'drinking caffeine' as a good habit you'd want to track... Isn't caffeine actually detrimental to your health and sleep? 🤨🤔
Genuine question as to why you do it, not trolling... This time. 😅🤪
I track both good habits and bad habits.
In this instance I'm just tracking my caffeine usage via this method. That way at a glance I can see how often I was drinking coffee and so I can take periodic breaks.
For a while I also tracked alcohol as a habit in that column so that I could make sure I wasn't drinking more than 1x per week.
@@reysu thanks so much for explaining! 🙂
I'm considering to pay for the 'workbook', could you perhaps elaborate a little on what I would be getting exactly? It's printable template papers and such? ☺️
@@reysu Bump! 😄🙈
Bump. 🫤
Hi Reysu, that was the question here, I'll copy it to the other comments too, just to be sure you'll see it then. 😆😂
What pen are you using?
heh, I made a video about this ua-cam.com/video/vwRRP_Y_Q9M/v-deo.html
