The ‘artsy’ illustration-heavy trend that has taken over bullet journaling makes it a bit stressful if you’re not the artsy, drawing type. It helps to remember that Ryder Carroll the creator of the system meant for it to be simple not stressful. I’m not saying things can’t be ‘reinvented’ but…. In its origin it was never meant to be complex, just pen & paper.
I would agree with that. I also think that another part of what Ryder intended although I'm not sure if it's specifically said anywhere, but more my understanding of it, is that bullet journalling should be what you need, rather than fitting your life/planning to someone else's set up. If you need pretty doodles etc., that's fine, if you work better with more minimalistic approaches, thats ok too. You do you, essentially. I did bullet journalling years ago and my own system has evolved to the point that, while it works really well for me, it no longer resembles anything like what Ryder has put forth so I don't really call it a bullet journal any more.
i agree so much.. i wish i had discovered his system before i found the artsy version. it would have been nice to try and evolve an organization style and then make it pretty instead of the other way around but cest la vie
I perfectly agree. I was doing creative bullet journaling and it came to the point it no longer work for me and designing became stressful
I don’t know if it’s just me but Ive looked at [bullet-]journaling for a while and have always found it to be a bit stifling creativity-wise… I love paper crafting and writing and have automatically gravitated to junk journaling… the issue arises, though, that modern day junk journaling technically isn’t created with “junk” (like the way it was intended) - and if you’ve come into junk journaling from outside the paper crafting world, like I have, it can be quite expensive when you start building your arsenal of tools, materials and supplies. From my own experiences it appears that most people enter junk journaling through scrapbooking, card making, mixed media and/or similar where they already have most of what they need. That’s definitely something to consider for the ordinary person out there - trust me, I’ve been there, junk journaling isn’t just about just buying a book binding kit and having paper like we’ve been told, there’s A LOT more to it….
It's true that the most are coming through similar crafts to JJ and have many items for this. But I think it's the expectation that is limiting ourselves. To have all the "fancy stuff" around this, seeing a lot of videos etc. of artists (I see them all as artists 😊) that collected over years very much. Settle yourself and just one step at a time. To all who wants to give a try: think about the original idea of JJ and look around your "living area". The most of us have a scissor, glue, paper/cardboard and maybe some pens.
The hardest part in my opinion is the collecting afterwards if you're in the JJ fever 🙈😂 you see EVERYWHERE things that can be use in a JJ and mostly for free or a few euros/bucks etc. Have fun and just create, try to not overthink. It's not the JJ at the end, the crafting journey is the "goal" ❤
@@leesternchen Oh 100%!!! I only mentioned this because I can’t even count the times I postponed my first journal because I realized I didn’t have something (i.e., hole punches, die cutting machines, stamps, paints, trims - sometimes vintage trims, on and on…) I slowly started gathering my supplies through time and it was disheartening in the beginning - though it saves you in future projects not having to buy as many more supplies… I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who’s gone through this… it’s probably best coming into the junk journal world (those of us with a non-paper craft background) to start off with more of an art journal, glue or smash book approach, as it is more realistic and doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket, but once you’re aware of how other people create their junk journals and the materials they use, you inadvertently begin to try to work yourself up not long afterwards to add more things to it… I was just impatient and rushed it in the beginning and I don’t recommend it but it won’t kill you either because ultimately, in the long run, you may end up buying all those supplies anyway 😂😂😂
@@calypso_lazuli soooooo true 🤣🤣🤣
@@calypso_lazuli I agree with you 100%. It’s natural to want to gather the supplies we see being used in the tutorials, thus creating a collecting hobby out of what originally was a desire to craft. When it comes to creating junk journals, the impulse to keep adding to the collection is not only difficult to control but also contagious.
Samee here I quit bullet journaling to scarpbooking and junk journals as I couldn't note all my details everyday as I was very lazyy to do ...but since I saw this channel I started junk journaling and thanks for the great ideas to do....
Lots of love from India❤️
I love the idea of going back to stuff you’ve already done and like to try to expand on it and developed it more. Thanks for this!
Hey Kris! I'm glad to hear that this idea was inspiring. Thank you!
Loved this vid
Recreate an old page from the space you’re in now… I LOVE that idea! You just blew my mind
I like the waterpaint colours, thats resonate. And your typwriter ande the way you help us with struggels on journalling.
I have tried time and time again spending DAYS making bullet journals (some basically decently recreated other peoples spreads with differences to tailor to my needs) and ended up. Literally. Ripping. The. Notebook. From. Frustration. Like I look at the spreads and go woof…I hate this. Even though I started the day inspired to do it. It’s like ads. You see it so much that you think you need it and so you buy it. Then you are stuck with the product or need to go return it. I don’t like decorating my to dos. That resonated with me so much lol. I recommend spending some time off social media and get back to basics and revisit your old systems like you mentioned. Thanks for the video!!
Yes! Yes! Yes! to all that you said.
“Decorating a to-do list” I think that’s where I’m at right now as far as deciding where to spend my time. I’m busy at work and I’m trying to give myself more of a break at home anyway. Bullet journaling makes me feel like I should be knocking things off the list and I’m bad at tracking things. And turning through multiple pages each day to fill out a dot or a line on different pages is not something I have time for.
Same!!! On point.
how have i only found you now? i watched like 20 vids in a row and you are such an inspiration. you make me think about how i place things and what i write in my journal. and yes i also stopped bullet journalling for the same reason. thanku ❤
I have traveled this same path… from Bullet journaling to a practice more in line with junk journaling and daily memory keeping. I found that if I made it too complicated, I would collect remnants of my day and then never get the days completed, resulting in a pile of junk and clutter. I’m in the process of simplifying so I enjoy sitting in my space and finding that flow state you described in another video. This video with the three pillars was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video.
I stumbled into junk journaling after I fell into the world of bullet journaling, but bujo for me has never really been about the art side. I have other artistic outlets. I do doodle in it, and have recently added more stickers, because STICKERS!!! But as someone who is a card carrying member of the adhd community, the bujo is the only planning system that has ever stuck for more than a month.
The other thing to realize about bujos and artsy bujo, a lot of the youtubers who are HUGE on the scene are trained artists who decided that youtube was a better hustle than toxic corporate graphic design culture. And I absolutely respect that.
I like the creative parts like that folded paper tuck in.
Love your elegance and music
Artistic voice, I still don't see myself as an artist, interesting... Thank you for making me think and stretch🙏🏼
You so ARE an artist Sheila!
So glad I found your channel!
Thank you for posting. I love your videos.
I was so moved by your well organized thinking and clarity of direction. I am a recent widow who lost all creative motivation. I am trying to get back to jj, I am motivated by your ideas and your style.
Thank you for taking the time to articulate a different perspective on style and direction.
I appreciate your videos, always a fan.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Cynthia! Sending love and light to you and your family.
I much more of a junk journaler. I love the paper product recycling aspect. I can easily see how a shape like a cereal box can become a journal cover. But what about the awkward shaped boxes with beautiful paper or print ( like tea or cookie boxes)? What to do with them? Do you have ideas? Short fat journals? Long thin journals? ?? Thanks for sharing your creativity!
You've proposed a lot of great ideas! I'll see if I can tackle one of them in a video! Thank you Lesley!
@@1134Press thank you 🤩
Recreate from what you’ve already done👌🏻👌🏻
Yesssssss.
Golly I love your videos 😍😍😍. I have a passion planner to run my week and then art journal separately. The planner is an important MH tool and I see art journaling start to creep in. Mostly as it relates to freedom to do whatever and not be a Pinterest worthy picture. My line template arrived this week and thank you for the link! 😁. I am FASCINATED by your handwriting style as well as the “line” you use to write on - ie horizontal line, vertical line and organic wavy or curvy lines. Thank you as always for sharing. 💕💕💕
I like the artistic aspect and journaling without all the trackers and to dos. I think I need 2 daily journals! One bullet “to do” list and one to journal my thoughts and creative art. Thanks for sharing!
I still do a weekly bullet journal cuz I’ve done a weekly planner forever, but I use a template and do it quick and dirty adding stamps and some color. Then the junk journal is pure play!
I found it interesting how your style has changed but stayed the same in a way. I do enjoy your videos thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas. I really liked the bit where you took a piece of paper cut out part and then added a folded piece of paper to pull out to journal on and then how you kept it closed. I will use this in an interactive journal I am doing for a friend. I discovered junk journal making a few years ago and thoroughly enjoy sharing what I create with friends. I have tried to journal but never really liked it. Once again thanks for sharing take care stay safe
Great pages. 😊😊😊
Always really enjoy and appreciate your content. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
I never did bullet journals cause I always forgot them..lol! I did do scrapbooks and cards and my art journal. So gonna go back and look at those to see what ideas I can extract-great idea Bree!
Isn’t bullet journaling a form of planning?
I gave up on it for ring planners about a year now. Best decision ever.
❤I love your visual style and watching how you layer your work. Just beautiful✨
Thank you so much!
Yesss, I think you will be brilliant at it.🌸
I'm new here, also new friend🙂💕🌸👍 I love junk journaling, love this video.
I like to keep a simplified bullet journal. No decorations at all in it. But I also have several sketchbooks and art journals for my creative outlet. I used to decorate my bullet journal, but when using it at work, it just wasn't very functional.
Bree...it is ALWAYS so good to see one of your videos pop-up! It's funny, just this week I unpacked my collection of journals (What a hodgepodge!) while moving into my new studio (I'm so excited!) after moving from San Diego to Prescott, AZ. I journal because I like to record the memories and have used various type of methods (Faux-bonichi anyone?!) and notebooks. Most recently I have been using a weekly TN notebook but they tend to turn into little chunky 🐒s because I like to include pictures, collage, flips and flaps and too much mixed media. I think I am going to make myself a junk journal that is wider than a TN and not include so many pages. I think I just may need a bigger canvas. I'm thinking avout keeping the TN for recording appointments and keeping all the bits and bobs that I collect each week. Being able to unpack all my paints and other supplies and cracking open my art journal may also help. Bree, you seem to have it all under control!
Congrats on the move! That's sounds like fun adventure!
I totally enjoyed your video I have subscribed and look forward to learning and viewing Thanks for the idea of reviewing past work. I too have left regular journaling for junk journaling, I love just adding stuff.
You are not kidding that it's a Rabbit Hole! I have fallen in and am astounded at all the different types of journals there are from planners to very artsy gorgeous journals!
I saw a steampunk one that is so gorgeous, but I would NEVER write in it if it were mine. It's such a work of art I can't imagine defiling it with my scribbles.
I am an intuitive artist and much more of a doodler/writer so a lot of my old journals are filled with yes, doodles and rants lol 😄 (I admit I was always very angry). Where bullet journalling is concerned I would start with the best of intentions but quickly abandon this process in favour of crazy illustrations and poetry/stream of consciousness writing ✍ so yeah, I guess bullet journalling is not for me lol
You have such a beautiful voice.😍
Thank you so much! 🥰
Love this, Bree where did you get stencil of lines
I know the big difference between bujo & jj is the “system” the artsy part in bujo is actually an added bonus. I feel like bujo is supposed to be as minimal as possible. I’ve also tried bujo but oh boy I only made the indicator, daily & weekly pages & then I gave up lmao I am more into wrote down what happened instead of planning stuff. Maybe I write a simple bullet of the stuff that need to be done & that’s all. I’m like you. So bujo defo not for me. And I tried myself using jj. And I loved it. There’s so much freedom using jj. And it suits what I intended to do. I’d like to know, do you still incorporate that planning sheets into your jj or you only use jj for a specific occasion or do you use them as daily record?
So interesting, where can you purchase the line stencil?
It's linked in my Amazon shop! You can find it in the description. 💕
@@1134Press thank you so much, I saw it, but I thought it was paper 🙄
💕😊
'decorating to do lists just wasn't doing it for me anymore' yeah, that. lol
are you someone that is now keeping your planning separate from your junk journaling separate from your daily memory keeping, etc? or is it just not even that deep, case by case?
I keep it separate now. I have a regular journal that I brain dump plans and ideas, then I edit it into a simple desk calendar. But my creative journal or junk junk journal is complete separate now.
🧡💛❤
I’m sure it’s partially how you edit your vids but you never seem to second guess or audition your ephemera. I’d love to see you address “overthinking” whilst we are creating.
The "auditioning" part happens before I start recording. This is a great video topic though, that I hope to make! Thank you for this idea, Lori!
The planning thing just seemed so stupid. It’s called post its!
lol, it works for some. I don't completely knock it. It just didn't work for me.
