      A short guide to pronounce Leuchtturm :)
      LEU=LOY CH=K TURM=TOORM
      ignore the first "T"
      The CH is tough for people who are not used to it. Plus there are two versions. A soft and a harsh sounding one. Just use k sound like in "react"

    I started Journaling when I was 14 and that was 51 years ago. I did not have access to any fancy book for that very first journal but instead I made my own book out of scrap paper, string and the covers are cardboard covered with magazine clippings of birds, glued on with rubber cement. That journal is still intact 51 years later! Along with 30 or so from over the years. My children want me to save so they can read one day, but I think I will redact some things. I suggest to everyone to think about how you want to handle privacy, confidentiality and other people's feelings. If you leave out specific names when writing about sensitive topics that makes Journaling just as productive and removes some of the risks involved. You will know who the person is, but it remains anonymous to future readers.

      How helpful! I started Journaling at 12 years and the habit has ebbed and flowed for 50+ years. What I struggled with was format, and m y journals have ranged from structured lined to preformatted to blank pages, and even from bound to spiral to random sheets grabbed as needed. Clearly I am not disciplined enough for a bound book but you have given me some wonderful ideas and insights into my own process. Thank you!!!

    Ive been journaling for 3 years now and have seen a lot of journaling videos, and this is one of the most simple and easy to copy journaling system. The first 2 years of my journaling, I focus too much on making my journal look aesthetic. For someone who's not artistic at all, it's tiring to keep thinking how to decorate every page. Then I realized it doesnt matter, just create your own system, it doesnt have to be beautiful, it doesnt have to be difficult.

    The only reason I like to journal is to make my life a story, I'm 16 and it pains me to think that most of what I'm feeling right now or what I'm experiencing now might be forgotten. That's why I want to write more about myself, so I can revisit it later. This all started when encountered a journal of mine when I was 7; I drew comics, and princesses, and shared childish things, but that ignited my passion for journaling. Thank you, I haven't written anything in my journal as school was getting more difficult, but you've made me passionate about it again. Thank you.

    I'm 17 and I used to watch a lot of bullet journal youtubers with their neat format, plans, doodles etc. and tried to copy their style or write along, but my enthusiasm usually wouldn't last over 2 months, which caused me to have quite a few abandoned journals. Your video is really inspiring, especially for me as a high schooler, since I don't have that much time to pour onto the aesthetics of the journal, but what you do already catches the "essence" of jounaling (imo). So thanks! I'll give your method a try and look forward to continuing this habit!

    Journalling literally pulled me back from the brinks of depression and turn my life around a couple of times. Its so fascinating and satisfying to see your own progress, your thoughts, and something even more surprising is seeing how your beliefs change over time, how you can turn your own thoughts about a particular topic completely over a span of time.
    While I only do it a few times a month, and I write it more like a story or a thought, writing it all on multiple pages at a time, it is inspiring to see some other ways as you mantioned. I'll definitely be trying out some of your ideas and see if it leads me to explore myself in a different area altogether. Thanks

    In my bullet journal, I have letters for tracking and planning my life, which is an extension of what you're doing:
    [A] something I achieved (e.g. washed dishes)
    [L] something I learned (e.g. using focus of my camera)
    [G] something I'm grateful for (e.g. the time to learn stuff)
    [P] something I'm proud of myself for (e.g. a photo that looks nice)
    □ something that happened (e.g. made tortillas for dinner; got up late); there are usually multiple of these
    ○ an appointment/meeting etc
    And of course the bullet points and associated symbols for classic bullet journaling.
    Anything that influenced my feelings I color green for positive influence or red for negative influence.
    On the left side of my page, I have the following system: the left third is taken up by a line graph for my mood, sleep, stress level etc with each day taking up one row and 0 being on the left and 10 on the right. This is inspired by Elsa Rhae's setup and the thought behind it is that you can put the months side by side by pushing the page towards the middle, but that has become irrelevant since I moved to OneNote for journalling.
    To the right of the graph, I have a habit tracker, just like yours and to its right, the date and day of the week is written. In the right third of the left page, I have a rolling weekly for my week's to-dos that I rarely use, but I don't need the space so it's nice to have a free spot.
    I also use the Year in Pixels app for its intended purpose and additionally, I use its notes function for a more detailed account of what I did each day (in terms of work, I need that as I'm a trainee). It can look like this: "got up at 11:35 | breakfast | work: thing1\thing{thing I did inbetween}2\thing3 | cooked (spaghetti with cheese sauce)\ate | ...".
    This actually has really come in useful: I tend to forget what I did, so it's useful for mindfulness. It has also come in clutch when I needed to refer back to something, like what I did on a day at school, when something significant happened (the bullet journal is also useful for that) and more. The whole tracking aspect with the gratitude, achievements etc also really helps me reflect and have a less negatively tinted view of myself and the world around me. Being able to see at a glance using colors what made me happy and what made me sad/frustrated is the most recent addition, but it's been great so far. It really helps me be more mindful of this stuff.
    The sum of all this has really helped me clear up the fog: a few years ago, I had a bit of a breakdown because I felt like all the newly created past disappeared into a fog of trauma and suppression while all the future was foggy and undirected. It really made me feel like a passenger in my life with every memory being taken away as it was created. Journaling has helped me gain control of my memories. It started as a mere memory support with clues and no real data, and those old entries still serve me, and it evolved to become increasingly detailed. Now, I can draw a line back all the way until fall 2018 and each day along that line, I can populate with what I did. No gaps, no "where did the year go?". Throughout that process of populating the dates with memories, my journal entries are a great help, and the process of creating them in the first place already serves me, it makes recalling what happened a conscious act, so the things I recall are solidified, instead of disappearing in fog. I finally feel like the captain of my ship again and that is a gift of immeasurable value.

    That's the best journal method. I'm trying to start tracking my time and put a routine you know just get my life together! And i always feel lazy when it comes to Journaling because people always say it's about you talking about your day or writing about specific events and venting and it made me feel not interested.
    But here i am motivated because you made me feel like it's about joy ! Its about me doing in my own way ! It's my journal not theirs.

      @powerpuff4ever 11 месяцев назад +1

      Does it capture more?? The monthly spread seems to be the only thing that’s exactly the same as the bullet journal except he records daily highlights instead of using it to plan things like upcoming meetings or events

    • @username00009
      @username00009 9 месяцев назад

      @@powerpuff4everyes, the metrics and habits are not part of Ryder’s original example, which I quickly abandoned because it didn’t bring value like his daily log. The addition of the metrics and habit tracker to the monthly log turns it into something that I find value in adapting.
      I can see how you wouldn’t find the video creator’s version to be an improvement if you are loyal to the original (although I question whether anyone other than Ryder is loyal to the original) or prefer to keep your metrics and habit tracking spreads on separate pages. For me, I want to see the relationship between my events, daily highlights, habits, and metrics. If I spread those things out across the monthly log, daily log, and a habit / metric tracker spread, I can’t efficiently spot the patterns.

    I started journaling when I was 14 or 15. Now I'm 21. It's wild to look back even one year back as my thoughts constantly change. Over the years I've stopped just capturing my thoughts in the moment, but also realizations, lessons I've learned, people I've met, things that inspire me and so on. I've realized I will want to know who I was when I'm older to see how I've changed because memory can't be trusted 100%. I've also started adding titles to my entries next to the date so I have a general idea of the topic from that entry.

    The tracking of habits, highlight of days, and goals you mentioned at the beginning of the video reminded me of how I use my Lavendaire "Artist of Life Workbook." It also helps with life planning for the year, with reflection, commitments to growth, and goal setting (broken down into year, quarter, month, and days). A super holistic workbook that I would recommend, but as you explained how you journal as your goals change and how you document in graphs and pictures was really neat! I journal each night but it's only with words on regular lined paper. I may want to start incorporating how you really capture moments, especially fun milestones like recapping a book you finished. This is a great video, thanks for sharing!

    I love this video. I use very similar methods but I split them across my work notebook and my personal journal. I do the Monthly 2 pager with dates for my work journal, list out goals/projects for the month/etc. but my personal journal is basically completely free form with only writing and sketching. The monthly 2-pager feels very "work mode" for me as a result, but I love the idea of bringing this into my personal journalling habit to capture memorable moments, habits, etc. I've been journalling relatively consistently for the past 13 years, and it is very interesting to go back occasionally to revisit the past. It is almost as interesting to revisit the periods of great change as it is to check in on the mundane. With the benefit of space and time, I have found that revisiting challenging periods to see the raw struggle or pain as expressed in the moment has actually given me greater resilience and confidence. Seeing the raw pain and then knowing I got through it is a helpful reminder that so far, I always come out the other side of a challenge stronger, having grown as a person. The flipside is revisiting those more mundane days. Frequently those have wonderful little nuggets that remind me just how good I have it most of the time. Journalling regularly has helped me cherish the mundane more, and fear the challenges less.
