Hello, beautiful people 🥰

Hope you all are doing fine!

So, let me say a few words about bullet journalling.

The Bullet Journal method of journalling is created by Ryder Carrol. It’s a brilliant method of planning and organizing, contemplating and reflecting. The art of the goal setting, one might say. I say, it’s much more than just journaling. With Ryder’s own words, it’s the way of “tracking the past, ordering the present and designing the future”. There is an original “Bullet Journal Method” book, that explains the approach, plus tons of podcasts, interviews, articles and videos on the internet about it if anyone wants to learn more.

While Ryder’s method is really minimalistic, without any distracting factors, I myself prefer colors and drawings simply because (a) it’s more fun for me that way, and (b) it helps to beat anxiety.

I’m not going to write click-baiting things like “this will change your life”, or “all your problems will be gone”, etcetera. I just humbly suggest that it may work for you the way it did for me, and I’m happy to share my own layouts that have helped me over past few years to become more organized and productive. They’re super simple, there’s no need of special skills or equipment. I mean, if you hashtag bullet journal on Instagram, all you’ll see will be these stunning drawings/paintings incorporated in notebooks. And it’s ok, too. Whatever works for one, may not work for the other. We all have our reasons for everything we do. My journal is not minimal, ‘cause I guess my inner child wants me to be a little more creative, and I’m totally ok with that. In past it was though, and frankly, I didn’t enjoy it that much. Day-to-day lists and time tables - what’s fun about that, right? 😄

Bottom line: with or without creative elements in your journal, this planning system really helps achieve goals, form habits, improve productivity, track what needs to be tracked and keep important things at a glance. It’s something that helps one avoid shouting “oh no, I forgot to do it. again”, which is why I encourage everyone to use it.

In the next posts I’ll explain the spreads I’ve shared already; and over time I will share more of them with different functionality. See you soon😘
