Thanks for watching! Do you have a weekly preview and review practice? Would also love to see you at my Goal Setting webinar, sign up here! mattragland.com/goals-jan31
Fellow Bujo RUclipsr here! 🙋♀️ I LOVE this! Doing this on a weekly basis is such a good idea! I do something similar on a monthly level but doing it more often is awesome!
I am going to try this in February. It is my birthday month and I do things differently in February. I am going to use this idea. I want to see what I get accomplished. I will use the review and preview of each week. I will get back to you at the end of the month.
Matt, thanks! I’m a retiree, just started journaling 1/1/20, and I feel I need this more than ever, to help me continue to learn and grow and maintain my good practices through my retirement years. Question is re some tasks which can take many days to accomplish, do I continue to enter the task day after day after day? I can start to get blind to it them. They can be the same thing each time as in write 3 pages. Thanks
Look into rolling weekly task layouts, where you use a 4 page spread to track the week and fold the pages such that you can always see the overall list for the week. Avoids need to translate every day.
HI Matt, do you have any advice on how to deal with projects, especially those that takes more than a week to complete, and project resources/reference materials, using the BuJo?
I appreciate your practical tips and advice! I have more to do than I want to or can do in a week. Is there a bujo backlog? My first week in, I have my weekly plan where I (rookie mistake) added more to the list than I could do. Then I have the daily plan where I protect time for the top x tasks. Where do I store the backlog of things I want to do someday, and where do I put all the new to dos that come up during the week that I don't know yet when I will do them? Should I have a 'master brain dump' list that I parse through during weekly planning? Thanks in advance.
Matt, you have such a cute smile. :) I have a question, is there any way we can avoid procrastination with the help of journal or keeping a track separately? Something that can avoid second thoughts and procrastinating attitude? Please make a video, if so :)
I'm new to bujo, so I follow you on the review, but have a hard time figuring out how it helps you do better next week. It must be because you didn't compare last week to next week, but went back two weeks to show what happened this week... But how does review change your plan for next week? And did the three priorities help or not? I've already watched three times... Maybe I'll get it next time. ❤🌅🌵
Suzi SaintJames I’m just asking myself those 4 questions in comparison to what I’ve done the past week. That’s it in a nutshell 🙂 I will also say since you are new to bullet journaling if this is the thing that tripped you up then you could focus on the first three videos for now.
I cannot comment on Matt as I just started watching his videos but I personally use my week reviews for few reasons: 1. It helps me to work on continuous improvement 2. It helps me have visibility on my accomplishment and achievements 3. It helps me doing my monthly review as instead of going through every daily spread I check the weekly reviews and only then check specific days (if needed) I personally focus far more on the things that did not work out then on the things that went well or the challenges I overcome. Having weekly reviews help me to back and see how much I have grown up and appreciate also my wins. That being said week reviews also help me spot things I need to work on. Sometimes we are so focused on letting things happen that we never stop asking ourselves on is this good and what we can change to make it better. Being mindful on the things you go through helps you also identify actions for improvement. Another reason to have weekly reviews is to see how you progress on your goals. A lot of people start the new year with some quite ambitious goals that usually never happen because they never actively work on them. Journalling and having weekly/monthly reviews helps you to see if you go in good direction when it comes to your goals. It also helps you making sure that you do make the time to work on your goals. I read an article that I like a lot and it inspired me to be mindful about my goals and journalling is part of they system that i use to achieve my goals. I was left with two pretty important takeaways - projects without deadlines are hobbies and goals without projects are dreams.

A pdf with screenshots of the exact layouts would be helpful. Got confused where to place what.
Awesome format. I learned a lot, even though I've had a bullet journal for 5 years.
Another great, insightful and clear outline of your buju system. Thank you, my Buju practice is getting more solid with each video

Without having a future log, where do you track items several weeks to months out?

Are you leaving out time blocking in your journal now?
