Such great ideas. Love the category list to be able to brain dump too so you can see where you need to put them on your monthly planner. Great great ideas!!
I finally had a chance to watch your videos again. I've never used Bujo because of The Happy Planner & Bujo has always seemed to cumbersome. I've been using a lot of stamps in my HP lately & also joined Catherine Pooler's Club Canvo. Over the weekend, I decided to look at more Bujo videos, but it wasn't until seeing your videos with Alastair Method that I wanted to give it a try. I pulled out some HP dot grid pages & followed your instructions. I loved how you set those pages up. I think incorporating this method in my HP is a great idea, especially for neurodivergent brains like mine. I already set up & started using weekly morning & before bed routines. I'm going to work on the rest this week! As usual, thank you for such great & creative ideas.
Love your functional ideas productivity series, these are my favorite of your videos! Could you do a functional ideas list using the pomodoro technique or a functional ideas video using weekly/monthly lists instead of daily planning? Thanks!
1:17 one way to make it easier to read is to take a very light highlighter and highlight every other column (or month) ... I also highlight every 5th row or task. It just helps keep my eyes straight. 💖🌞🌵😷
Thanks a lot for a highly informative and inspirational video. I'm about to start a BuJo and you showed me the importance of using FriXion pens. Only one problem. I really hate the black one. All the other colours are fine but the black? 🤢 Guess I must face the situation. On the other hand, the black FriXion do have the same colour as a good pencil. So maybe I can accept that 😎 Edit: Added a note about pencils
Check out the Knock Ball frixion pen (direct from Japan). Here's an affiliate link: amzn.to/3qB69Jk The ink barrel is metal and the ink is a bit more bold, which you might like better. A little more expensive but better in hand feel.
I really liked this video. I have yet to try the Alastair method. But I feel coming this year I might... I do have a habit tracker which I track monthly on things I am working on. I had a question though, when you connect the dots in the Alastair method like from week 1 to week 3 .. I don't know what this means exactly... Just they were done those months, and still a recurring?
Yes, basically. The dot means the project/item is started and if it still ongoing or incomplete then you carry it to the next major time segment (day, week, month, etc) with the line and another dot. Once the project or item is complete, you stop adding new dots and lines. Does that make sense?
@@squairdplans yea I was just curious... Wasn't tooo sure? but makes sense. I see some with 2 dots marked, but no line.... so now I am guessing they were done on those days, but the task is still not complete, because they are not connected.?
@@ThinKtakeNotesthe lines being connected is a preference, not a rule, so you can do it either way or make the symbology mean whatever you want it to mean. I’ve seen it done where the dot just signifies a start or ongoing process which you can carry over to each applicable column. I like the connected line version personally, as it seems to mark the start and stop time a little clearer.
I love your efficiency and bujo videos! But please tell me what is the O in the meal planning list after Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snack - it’s driving me crazy 😂 Is it for overnight? Haaaalp please! 🤣🤣
I would love to do more bullet journalling, but have found setting up spreads from scratch, week after week, just isn't my thing. Plus I love how I can move pages around in the discbound system.
Watched several of videos about how to start bullet journaling and this is the best one! Efficient and practical
So glad to hear it! Happy Planning!

Thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely look into these for future videos! 😁👍🏼
These were some great ideas. I'll definitely be using at least a couple of them. Thanks!
Glad to hear it, Kim!
So good. ESP the categories one!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for this video. Just so you know, a quarter is 13 weeks (52 weeks divided by four).
Thanks for the feedback! I don't think I every thought to do the math on that, but that totally makes sense now that you mentioned it.
Such a great video. You always have such great ideas. Blessings.
Thank you Wendy! Glad you enjoyed.

Thanks for the tip!
do you have a video explaining the keys? I don't understand them all. I like your way of planning and it inspires me to try them out :)
I do a brief overview in the this video: ruclips.net/video/3bBx4HuDj1Q/видео.html
Hope you find it helpful!
I love the Frixion pens, markers, highlighters but ink disappears if it’s in heat.
I've never had a problem with them though I know it is a concern for some. I've even left my planner in a hot car for a few hours...
The ink disappears at 60c (140F). So, I would not worry too much about it 😊
Very useful! Thank you
Glad to hear that!
Thanks!!!!!!!

Is it for overnight? Haaaalp please! 🤣🤣
😂 it stands for “other” ...for the things that don’t fit in the meal categories. 😉
@@squairdplans haha thank you!
Wow. I might not have moved to digital planning if I'd seen this video last year!
How are you liking digital planning?
sometimes I miss bullet journaling
I would love to do more bullet journalling, but have found setting up spreads from scratch, week after week, just isn't my thing. Plus I love how I can move pages around in the discbound system.
