For me, needed more David Allen and less Oprah. Skimmed the Oprah, really enjoyed the David Allen. Worth a read.
Well I got a few good ideas from the book, however, I am already quite an organised person. I liked the idea of using it for special projects though. I went out and got a bullet journal dot book. They are deeply unsettling. Apparently I can't write without lines. So I started ruling some and when I got half way down the page I saw the stupidity of my actions and I slid the book into my blank notebook shelf and switched to one with lines. I think I will probably stick to the normal yearly planner...
Watch the 4 minute YouTube video. Much more informative and efficient than labouring through this.
2nd read: I learned so much from my second read of this book. This is why I love rereading my favourite self-development/non-fiction books. I managed to get a whole new toolkit for my bullet journal and I completely revamped my journaling style. This is definitely one of my staple books that I will reread for many years to come.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1st read: I am so glad I decided to read this book (and purchase the hard cover) as it has given me a completely nee perspective on Bullet Journaling.I’ve been
Interesting book. I read it because I'm looking to regain control of my time & life - track the must do while cutting the fluff. I've tried several planning methods all of which work, but just don't seem right for me. I like that Carroll's plan can be individualized to your own wants/needs. And that it'll let you know fairly quickly which things you can cut out of your schedule thus making room for more events you'd like to do. This appears to be a good road map of where you've been, where you a...
A useful compilation, but this book doesn't provide anything you couldn't already learn online on Carroll's website or a quick YouTube/Google search.
• Good introduction to Bullet Journal method* Analogue approach for digital age - Slower speed of handwriting + migration idea encourages reflection> Adopt in 2019
I kinda did this backwards. I started journaling last year and found that whatever I put in my journal was what I focused on. These were the areas where I gained the most insight and was the most productive. But then I had people asking me was I an artistic journalist or a minimalist. I had no idea what those terms meant but had the sense that I fell somewhere in between. Then I started following bujo pages on Facebook and Instagram. There I saw people arguing over what true bujo is and who was
I first heard of this book from an insanely talented Youtuber, called Boho Berry. If you have an interest in bullet journaling then you are probably already familiar with her beautiful daily spreads, extensive collections, and the gorgeous artwork and lettering that she creates with seeming ease. Each of her videos exudes productivity and I watched her videos longing to emulate her success.I started my own bullet journal and promptly neglected it, finding dissatisfaction in how it didn't measure...
I really liked this, and I am not a Boho Berry or Llamas Love Lettering fan. Ryder states outright not to keep Collections or Trackers unless you are learning and growing from the information. FYI there's a good subreddit - /r/basicbulletjournals - if you are into the practicality of planning & journaling and not the brush pen lettering and folk art floral motifs. I particularly liked his description of planning project sprints, which was the whole of Sprint usefully condensed down into 3 pages....
Re-read 2021 / UpdateI find myself coming back to this book every time I feel my journal needs an update in order to better fit my current ‘life’ demands and circumstances. These are usually big changes when I ruthlessly decide what works and what doesn’t. I’ve been keeping a Bujo now for nearly 4 years and I still find it ever so useful, from organising my life to taking care of my mental health. Looking through my notebooks, you can see what I’ve liked and therefore used, and what I’ve not. Al...
I was in two minds about this book from the outset, and I wasn't sure what to expect from it. So is it really fair to say that it disappointed me? Probably not, but in any case, I came away 'nonplussed'!The book is split into five sections: Preparation, System, Practice, Art and End.It started well with an overview of the method and I learnt a lot. I should say that I've been keeping a BuJo for over two years now. Or at least I thought I had. My method was a long way removed from the official on...
I've been "BuJo-ing" for 8 months, based on a 1 hour workshop I went to where I learned Ryder Carroll's basic system. I can safely advise readers to stick to the YouTube videos as this book is completely unnecessary. Unless you are in crisis and have never heard of mindfulness or UX. . . and could use some inspirational quotes from a few hundred sources. . .Remember writing essays as a college freshman (or maybe even high school freshman) and writing in an extremely sagacious way- quoting Socrat...
very very very slow progression with a lot of useless quotations. It's a magnificent method, and the book has awesome contents, but it lasts much longer than it should.
