    No stress doing a minimalist journal when you have a handwriting like that, it'll look beautiful no matter what.

      Toffnm I'm not sure if you do any stamping, but you can get calligraphy letter stamps that you can use.

      Toffnm I don't think this is very minimal at all. Have you seen Ryder's video explaining bullet journaling as it was originally done? There really shouldn't be stress in it. It's a productivity tool. It's supposed to reduce stress.

      You mean your handwriting isn’t like that? Thought everyone could write like that!

    LOVE how you're showing the ways that didn't work for you. Makes the process so much less intimidating! Super inspired: thanks!

    I love how you experiment to find what works for you. That’s what it’s all about. That’s the reason I haven’t been able to stick to regular planners, because they didn’t work for my needs. Thanks for sharing.

  • @tav123rox

    One of the best setups I've seen! I loved that you went through what worked and what didn't and gave a lot of alternatives

  • @kajal1953
    @kajal1953 6 лет назад +1

    This is lovely. Best thing about this video was you actually showed what worked and what didnt and where couldnt keep up with the spreads. Also that you didnt stress over making mistakes. Thats how it can be a productive tool.
    Thank you 😊

    I love minimalist bullet journals. I watched video's of regular ones and I get claustrofobic just by looking at those video's, some people keep track of every single thing, it's only time- and energy consuming to keep track of those useless things. The one in this video is muuuuuuch better. It's not overwhelming by the shitload of text you have in the regular ones. I love this one! Simple, fast, you have a clear overview. Thank you for giving me ideas!

  • @jasonperez8792
    @jasonperez8792 7 лет назад +1

    I love how you show your mistakes and were honest about all the sections that didn't work for you. I want to start this but it seems so overwhelming!! Thanks for being real about your process !

  • @selenemason9383

  • @NataliaKiranaMusic

    This is the best bullet journal I’ve seen! So simple and zero distractions.

  • @berkeley2006
    @berkeley2006 7 лет назад +1

    I found it extremely instructive for you to show what didn't work for you and all that was in the journal. It really helped me see what might work or not work for me. Thank you.

  • @emacwakeup
    @emacwakeup 6 лет назад

    I love love love that you showed whatdidnt work. I keep getting stressed about future appointments and writing them in and having enough room for each month to write everything. And then having all the months mixed up with the information. But you’ve proved I need to be less ridged.

  • @anamatti9675
    @anamatti9675 5 лет назад +11

    I've been wanting to start a bullet journal for a while but all the videos and pinterest boards I see are mostly filled with the really decorated pages and I got intimidated and overwhelmed by them. However, yours really settled my mind that it is really simple and to really try out what works so thank you so much for this!

  • @chesswithbill
    @chesswithbill 4 года назад +1

    Totally dig. I like how candid your approach was/is.

  • @legslikewhoa
    @legslikewhoa 8 лет назад

    Seeing the things you tried that didn't work really helped. Keeping it simple seems to be the way to go.

  • @mlynn9361
    @mlynn9361 7 лет назад +96

    with the gratitude log - i keep one but dont put in the dates ahead of time, no pressure to write in it everyday - only when you feel like it, or when you have that "wow, im so glad that..." moments ... and once that page is full start another

    • @ultravioletpisces3666
      @ultravioletpisces3666 5 лет назад +5

      I feel like that would be so much more meaningful when you review it and Terry to use it to raise your vibration. Because you have feeling behind it instead of obligation to think of something to be grateful for.

  • @morgandea
    @morgandea 7 лет назад +216

    I really liked seeing all the stuff that you found didn't work for you - good reminder that not every style works for everyone. I know I had to scale mine waaaaay back when I started bullet journalling - the fancy spreads were too much structure for me.

  • @adelecaroline3614

    Starting my bujo today and I just found your video. Love it! I have been looking for true Minimalist ideas and yours are the best so far. I especially love that you share what didn't work. All the bujos I've seen so far are too fancy, perfect, and intimidating. Your style is clean, pretty and inspiring! Good job!

    Hey! Thanks for this video! You were the first person I heard (after watching a whole bunch of videos) who acknowledged the fact that you just did trial and error to figure out what worked for you and what not. Very useful! A lot of other vloggers present their journal as if they just found this holy grail of working right of the bat. So thanks! O, and I love your accent ;)

  • @bambooscaffolding
    @bambooscaffolding 7 лет назад +1

  • @monicaong4313
    @monicaong4313 7 лет назад +4

    I like how simple your bullet journal is! Ik there’s a lot of bullet journals on instagram and on YT that do extravagant spreads or detailed decoration, but i like how you keep your bullet journal simple b/c that’s more practical for every day use. Nice video!

    Wished I saw your video 2 weeks ago. It would have save me some good money. Lol because yeah Im shippin from very far away so I wanted to buy it all at once..and God..I did. And when I started doodling -training before my stuffs reach me- I realized that those pretty ones are time consuming.. as much as I loved it, I dont wanna spend a full hour during the week just laying out a spread. It is supposed to help being productive and not be overwhelming or chore-felt. Really nice BuJo..looks great and lovely. Life is simple.

    I think this was the most useful bullet journaling video I've ever seen! I want to get into doing a BuJo but never had the courage to do it since I have tried many diaries before and quit within weeks or a month so you might have just helped me get into this practice! I love how clean you are and that you aren't afraid to experiment (I am, a little too much for my liking). I do wish you'd elaborate some more on the level 10 things you showed us and maybe do some 10-minute challenge on creating the templates and stuff (helps people like me to convince themselves to try and do it myself).

      @ricdonato4328 5 лет назад

      CharliMarieTV: Oops incorrect word, jealous. Envy vs Jealousy: Envy is the emotion of coveting what someone else can do, is doing, what they own, their capability, and the like. Jealousy is the emotion related to fear of something you have will be taken away by someone else as in the saying “the green eyes of jealousy “. Using the correct word does make a difference.

    @leebee4525 7 лет назад +2

    I love this! I tried bullet journaling back in January--I loved the concept but I spent so much time trying to make it beautiful that it really became unproductive so it kind of fell apart. I'm bought a new notebook literally today with the intention of giving it another go, and your video is certainly motivating me and give me some perspective that it doesn't have to be elaborate! Thanks for posting!

    I love this! Honestly one of the best bullet journal videos I've watched... I liked how you showed us even the stuff that wasn't working, and explained why. Lots of food for thought. Plus, this sort of monochrome, simple, but still cute aesthetic is exactly what I want mine to look like! Although I'm thinking about a floral theme as well... maybe black and white line drawings of botanical things???

  • @gracenorling
    @gracenorling 7 лет назад +256

    i do like watching all the nice colourful bullet journals but i find them so time consuming and the original bullet journal was a way of keeping all event/thoughts/etc together and being easy and simple and i feel that when i first started out i was more focused on how it look and it was just so stressful that i didn't enjoy it . But now mine is simple and easy to use and it doesn't take me a whole sunday night to write it all out . I've customised it to myself but stuff with Ryders version more than the intricate ones we see now . Im not saying i don't like the other version i just personally do not have the time to do it otherwise i probably would haha as they're so pretty

    • @Graestra
      @Graestra 6 лет назад +10

      Same, I've been thinking about starting one and all the fancy ones make it seem so intimidating and like a big time sink. Some of them aren't even really bullet journals anymore, which is fine, but it kinda defeats the purpose

    As someone who's trying for to get in bullet journaling for the second time, this video was really helpful for me. I like the extensive colorful layouts, but I'm still a little but nervous about spacing and everything - so your minimalist setup really appeals to me, it's beautiful yet easy to set up. And seeing all of your trial and error gave me a bit of a confidence boost in just getting into it and trying out the journal =)
