This would really help me cause I find myself rewriting items for my to do list all the time! Thank you for sharing :D
I do mine a little differently. I put a dot on the day I start a task and an x when I finish the task so at a glance I know when something was started and finished.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Cash Silas Instablaster ;)
@Ronan Joziah Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ronan Joziah it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Cash Silas You are welcome =)
I love this! I have been procrastinating on starting my BuJo because I knew I would be rewriting so many tasks but this is a huge help!
As Ryder said, rewriting is what driving us to get the task done.
I love the way you explain everything and give us examples thank you .
I’m giving the Alastair method a go this month.
Thank you.
I love this! I’m in college and this is such a good way to write out homework and when assignments are due during the week :)
u explained this so beautifully
now I understand how this works
thank you
I hadn't considered this method; However, this could work for me. Thank you for going into more detail about it.
I'd never heard of this, but this is such a good idea. Definitely going to use this for next week so I don't have to keep writing the same thing each day when I don't get them done!
Watching numerous videos by many people did not help me understand Bullet Journaling until watching your videos. It finally clicked. I have watched many of your videos and videos by other people learning a lot. Ryder Carroll's website helped a lot also. Thank you for making your videos. Looking forward to using bullet journaling and watching more videos. Randy
I've been using this method as my weekly log since your October plan with me. I absolutely love it and it's really helping me keep track of where I am on my uni project work too
I really like this method. I manage 100+ utility construction projects simultaneously that have numerous phases, steps, levels of difficulty and dependencies. I’m going to try this weekly running list. What I really like is the “1/2 X” or / to indicate worked on but not completed. This will help serve as a reminder that even if I didn’t finish something I DID work on it. 👏👏
I LOVE the Dutch door spread you made! Totally going to give it a try - been struggling with too long task lists and forgetting sometimes to transition task to next week. Thnks for sharing!
Me too!! I need to see the month calendar in each working page and this is a great idea!
Thank you for making this video, I love this method because it really speaks to my need to 'dump' all the tasks that are cluttering my mind AND really works for my reoccurring tasks or "habits" like watering plants and self care. Definitely sharing and recommending this!
I'm using this method for November. I was aware of it before but you inspired me to use it for weekly bujo. I'm loving it so far.
Love this video. Especially the dutch door! It's an amazing idea to use it for the monthly overview because my problem with monthly habit trackers or other long term spreads is that I forget to check on them
This is a brilliant and clear explanation. Loved it thank you! Incorporating this pronto!
I didn’t even know about this and I created it too! Now I know who already came up with it first! That’s so awesome to know 😊
I have struggled with planners for so long. Bullet journals were my best, but I still struggled. I had been using something similar and this video helps clear up some messy areas I had. Thank you so much!
Thanks, Kara, this method looks awesome. I've been struggling to coordinate weekly and daily task lists in my BuJo, but this just looks like the perfect solution.
I love this method! I'm starting a bullet journal for the first time in my life because I'm in DESPERATE need of organisation (i'm starting my last year of university, big projects and exams) and I'm definitely using this method!! Thank you!
I’m going to definitely try this weekly spread idea. My week is pretty up in the air with work and I end up making a mess of “traditional” weekly spreads. I’m a manager so some days are just really bad and I don’t want to do anything when I get home. This will still give me a bird’s eye view and keep things orderly. Yay!
This seems to be a great method, going to give this one a try, nothing else seems to work that well...I also need to carry a journal or something for work because from one day to the next I forget what wasn't done, what I need to add to the next day's schedule, etc. This would be a very quick method to track all those things. Thank you for the awesome ideas.
This is a journal I actually see myself sticking with. Very practical and easy to integrate in a workflow
I love this. I've been trying to figure out a way to incorporate my work tasks and home tasks into my bujo without ending up with multiple pages for one day. Leaves me with no space for doodles or journaling, which I've been trying to get back into.
I have been using this method as best as I can sense you showed it in your video when you created the Dutch door pages. Thank you for this video as it will help me really put this method into proper use!! I have been really enjoying this method sense I incorporated it a few weeks back. Thanks for sharing it then and explaining it better in this video!!
This is so helpful, thank you!! I have been trying to figure out how to plan my weekly tasks that don't have a "due" date, but still need to get done
Awesome! Love the set up! So glad I saw this, I'm going to give it a go right away!! ❤😊
I've always been quite intimidated by this method for some reason but you made it feel really easy! I'm going to try this ASAP!
This looks cool! I do not have many events during the week so I'm still not sure about the weekly layout, but have tasks which should be completed on a specific week. This way I can plan better and can note also if I was lazy and did not complete something. Thank you for sharing!
Hooray! Cant wait to try this! Thanks Kara!
I started this week and it has been a game changer!
Thanks for this - it's incredibly helpful - now my BuJo won't be filled with random Post-it notes filled with tasks I don't want to forget but haven't scheduled a day for yet. :-)
Great video, Kara! I've been using the Alastair Method for my weekly to-do lists since you talked about it in your October plan with me, and it has been working really well for me.
I like this idea! I’ll definitely have to try this in my planner!
I have been doing this for past couple of months now, and I didn't even know that it was a separate method. Just came up with it and thought I was being very innovative :D
This is so smart, my new bujo is coming in 3 days and I’ll definitely use this!
This is going to be great for my work protects and tasks! Thank you for sharing!
I used this method! And your video really helps me! ❤️❤️❤️
I used it for my art project and work this is certainly the best video so far!
Love it! Definitely need to give this a try. Kinda glad I had been procrastinating my planning for next week, maybe subconsciously I was just waiting to find out about the Alastair method heh.
Kara, thanks for demonstrating the Alastair Method. I just might try it next time.
This whole set up was genius. 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 thank u. This has help me a lot. Especially the tabs and everything
well. that saved my brain, thank you! I keep dropping the ball in paper schedules and have switch to doing it in Goodnotes so I can have it on my phone too. Still liked the planning so I stop triple-booking and forgetting bills but every day is NOT how my life goes! Brilliant!
Of all the videos on this style of bujo Journalling this one is the best for me to understand.
I can see how this method is useful. I've tried it and have had a problem keeping up with it. I guess I need to try it again and make keeping up with it a priority. Thank you for this video!
Try it for your future log.
Thanks! This is the best explanation I've seen. I'm thinking about ways to use this in my systems. God bless.
I really liked how you explained it. I might try this in mine.
this is way better. love it! thank you for sharing!
It looks really useful, but I worry I might lose track of how many tasks I have per day, and when it comes to events and appointments, I might accidentally schedule things overlapping each other ;-;
EEEHHHH!!!! So excited to try this out!!!
thank you for posting! I have to set up november today and i'm going to try this!
Bullet Journaling never worked for me, but I do use to do lists on a daily basis and was just searching for a new method to organise - corrently I use little notes to write but they always fill up and I need new ones, so I'll try this method starting next week and hopefully it will help!
Thank you for sharing this great method!
I do this in a spreadsheet on my computer and have written a few easy macros that keeps the list up to date and sorted. If something needs to be carried over to next week it does it automatically. There are programs that you can buy but making my own spreadsheet was very easy.
Also I have it automatically sort by days of the week so I don't miss anything. Looking down a list in any order is one way of missing an item to do. One last macro is set up to sort by various tasks that need to be done prior to others.
Finally, if I need to I print out a task report for the day, week, or month I can do so easily. I also have it linked to my calendar on my phone and desktoo to set reminders.
Doing it by hand is way too time consuming and old fashion.
Could you possibly make a template of it (with no personal information) and share it as a google doc? It sounds neat and I really geek out w/respect to spreadsheets.
Just here to bump Dani Long's comment!
I completely agree with Dani. I would love a generic template of this. I love a good spreadsheet but am terrible at setting them up myself lol
I would like that too
This sounds amazing. I would also love to know more.
Very helpful for my multi task arrangement in office work. Appreciated the sharing.
This is an awesome idea for scheduling tasks. I’m going to try this.
Wow, this is brilliant. Litterally solves all my problems, thanks!
Wow! This tutorial helped me understand the Alastair method! Thank you! 😁
I just found your channel, this looks amazing!! Thank you for sharing all the useful info, I will definitely be trying this method for my new bujo! Yt recommendation finally showed me something useful haha
That's such an efficient use of space!
This is really, really good!
🤔 I guess I try that in my budget bullet journal, for tracking important tasks and events
Thank you for making this video and sharing the idea
I LOVE this!!
Soooo Cute and useful!!!
Thanks!🥰❤️
This method save pages too. Very clear explanation. Thanks.
I just discovered this. Brilliant! I'm inspired!
I love this method!
This is very much helpful. Thank u for sharing it
This is awesomeeeee!
Love this method!
This was so helpful. Thank you!
This was SO incredibly helpful!!!!! ❤️❤️
Excellent and very educational video. Thanks Kara for sharing looking forward to trying this method for November
Thanks this so good ,so glad you shared.
I will be watching this again. I use a ring planner so I am going to try and do this in that.
This is really cool and functionality 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I seem to have accidentally invented this approach too! Damn! It could’ve had my name on it!!!
Lol they love putting a random name on it
This is really usefull, I'll try it out for next week!
Thank you so much!! best explanation of this method😍💕
Interestingly, this is very similar to a Franklin Covey planner method - their plastic bookmark was also a to-do list and you created a master list of things to accomplish that shifted to each day as you moved the bookmark, and then you organized your rolling list with priority colors or symbols to help you decide which was the most important to finish first. I use a variation of this in my weekly pages where I write the to-do list out on the left side of the page (I have a blank column) and then migrate individual items to specific days if I know that ahead of time or pluck things off the master list as I plan each day. It seems like a lot of repetition in writing, but it helps me organize my thoughts and reinforce what I am doing for that day by writing it again.
so helpful. thank you!
I have been doing this for the past two months and its life saving
This is for me Both page layouts look great.
I love your video because I do exactly the same in my bujo... but you explain it way better than me. Now I can show your video instead of explaining myself. 😉
I didn't know I needed this, till now
Thanks a lot for the video. I would definitely try the Alastair Method. May sound strange but I have a page in which I write my dreams/nightmares on as far as I can remember waking up!!!
You explained this really well
Thinking about trying this and I'm gonna make an extra line/column behind my tasklist for hour registration.
I’m just getting into bullet journaling and this rolling weekly approach. Thank you for making it so clear. Do you not use individual daily pages then? If so, how to you utilize them along with this full out weekly spread? Thanks.
I'm using my Alistair as a catch-all task list and habit tracker. I might add one for monthly/weekly to-dos as well.
Unrelated to the video (which was great) I noticed you had the fl v ga game in your calendar! I go to uga and was in st simons that weekend! What a small world
i''ve been living my life on post its, comparing myself to my grandma......this makes so much sense
Thanks Kara! My bujo was getting kind of... too routine? I wanted to try something different!
Great ideas ty
Thank you very much . 😊❤
awesome method i think i will utilize in my digital planner! maybe it can help me better organize my personal life lol
Helpful!
Definitely gonna try that, I think this will make my current process a whole lot easier.
I’m trying the Dutch page with an alistair method table instead of the habit tracker, so I can track bigger projects throughout the month. I’ve switched the table round so projects are along the top with weeks as rows. Will be interesting to see if it works for me! Thanks for inspiration!
Thanks for sharing this! I'm def. trying out this method! ^.^ Quick question, what highlighters do you use for the bullet journal? I love how they are pastel like colors.
HEY!!! I love this idea!!!! so much more efficient!! I dont need to purchase 2 Bujo's (one for business and one personal) Didn't catch how you created the dutch door....I am guessing that you trimmed the page.....
Yeah you cut the page
