this series is what I've been looking for in decades! I've heard about bullet journaling before and I really wanted to start one but mine was only to-do list- pages only and other ppl had lots of different things and I wanted to try them but I did not know what to do or how to do them or even where to begin! so this just guided me step by step! thanks!
I truly appreciate that you emphasize that there is no wrong way and that mistakes are ok. I need a reminder. The fear of not doing it right can be overwhelming. Thank you.
Watched part 1 & 2 and you're seriously amazing at explaining this and making seem easy to start. I'm going to create a bullet journal with my 8 year old as I have started homeschooling him. I feel like this is a good way to get us organized and keep up both on track with his homeschool lessons and work. Thanks so much!!
Friends have given me hand-waving explanations of bujo'ing, but I did really get it til I watched these two videos. I love the idea of having trackers in the same place as calendars. Thanks for your work!
Before your video, I was beginning to believe it was too complicated for me to grasp (as much as I really wanted to try). You made it not only easy to understand but inspiring. Thanks!
I learned about bullet journals 2 days ago. Why did I not hear about this sooner; it would have made moving last Spring so much easier! Anyway, your Beginner’s Guide popped up in my recommended videos and I found it so helpful that I’m now a subscriber 😊 I like the way you broke things down and are doing a kind of “explain as you go” style while using your personal journal as an example. I see yours and hear your explanations and think, “This is actually doable!” Thank you for sharing and making these videos 💕
New subscriber here. Carrie, you just made bullet journaling EASIER to understand. Thank you for this guide. At first, I made the calendar and two weeklies. So on my third weekly (which now I won't create until near end week of 12th), I'll add a major sized updated tracker. On to the 3rd video in this series. ;-)
I also felt intimidated but really lived the functionality of this bullet journal. After watching your videos, I'm ready to give it a go for April. I truly have high hopes here! Thank-you and Namaste!
Just watched parts 1 and 2. I am starting a bullet journal today!! And getting my 11 and 14 year olds into them too. My 14 YO had a hard time finding a planner for school for this fall (yeah, she's that ahead of schedule- it's awesome), and I think she will really like this!! Thank you so much!
Thank you for posting these video series. My sister and I are wanting to start bullet journaling but have been so overwhelmed. Your videos make it so easy to understand and follow. We are starting tonight! :) Thanks again!
Thanks so much for this series! I struggle with time management and was given a notebook with the dotted paper typically seen in bullet journaling. I've been meaning to try it out and your videos are really making it easier to jump in! :D God bless you!
THIS LOOKS SO AMAZING. I'm an anxious soul that is calmed by planning and making lists. I have functioned by making daily, weekly, monthly, lists on loose leaf pieces of paper, as well as hour to hour schedules. This will be a good way to keep this all in one place. I didn't know this was really a thing until now! Thank you so much :)
Thanks for this video! I looked up how to bullet journal, and your videos were among the first few. I love how you continue to emphasize the fact that this is very customizable while being structured with your instructions. I get very overwhelmed with new things like this, so I'm really just starting with a habit tracker for now. But your ideas and your creativity for design shine through and have given me tons of ideas! Thank you again!
I wanted to start bullet journaling months ago but it seemed so overwhelming. I really like the way you simplified it and broke it down into sections. The collections and trackers are my favorite part about the journal. Thank you for the inspiration! -Kayla 💛
Carrie Cristai want to start my bullet but I seen too not have the time to do it negates what doing I have the supplies because I live too write and draw but I work 2 jobs I barely home. Is it possible that you can help me
I'm new to bullet journaling and watching your videos helped to demystify how to get started, Loved all the tips you mentioned. I am inspired to get my bujo going after watching your videos.. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
I just found all of these videos on bullet journaling and you are the first that I'm watching! I don't know if I will actually execute a bullet journal but I would like to and thanks for making the first two videos so easy to follow and explanatory. Good job!!
Thank you for a great easy to understand tutorial. I have many Pinterest guides to starting a Bullet Journal but none of them are this concise and make me excited to get started. Thanks again. Kathy
Ok, so Carrie, I'm totally hooked to your vids. They are so clear and amazingly easy to follow. I have been doing BJing for a year now and you just gave way more ideas and overall understanding of how to best use my journal. Thank you for helping me get re-organized!!
My sister is an avide Bullet Journalist. She thinks I might benefit from using one. So here I am trying to learn about it. It's sounds exciting, yet with my work schedule, it seems a little time consuming to keep up. I hope I'm wrong, but I liked the benefits and things you spoke about in your first 2 videos, so I think I'm ready to jump into it. I hope to see your 3rd video soon. Thanks for the great inspirational thoughts.
Go for it! It can be an easy or complex as you make it. Some days, I have time to doodle and draw, other days, I just write check lists. That's the beauty about it!
Thank you! A friend mentioned bullet journaling to me and yours were the first videos I found. Looking forward to tracking the Great Advent Purge this year as we reduce and simplify in preparation for Christmas. Trying to make sure I actually purge or clean something each day, and keeping track of the number of bags/boxes that go out of the house in the process!
Thank you for this. Explaining the word lingo and what it is and means made it so much more clearer for me. I've watched about 20 vids and I finally understand the purpose and what people were talking about because of your informative teaching. Keep it coming!;)
Thank you very much Carrie! I have Adult ADD and it means a lot of loose ends and no goal completion, which leads me to frustration and sadness. That sucks. Im going to follow your setup and let you know how im going! hugs!
i'm going to start my first bulletjournal tomorrow because may starts and it's actually a monday and i wanted to start one for so long but i never really have a good start so i think it's a sign that i have to start tomorrow☺️
I just ran across bullet journaling today and was surprised to see this is what I Have been been doing this quarter because I didn't like traditional planners. Thanks for all the great ideas! Much better for the creative types!!!
Man, I want to start a journal, and I'm a very organized and uniform person, and this more laid back approach at life might let me loosen up a bit, very helpful video
I’m a girl in grade school who thought bullet journaling would be a fun and helpful way to manage my time! I don’t understand how people disliked this video, it is SOOO helpful! :)
Really helpful! I have seen so many Bujo articles and tutorials, that I'm rather overwhelmed about getting started. I know that I really do need to use one but everyone's are so different yet wonderful in several ways! I can now also see that I will need to run two concurrently - the Bujo itself plus a second one for notes from some special classes and possibly some journaling and drawings as well. Thanks for helping me get started!
Even though this is two years ago, this video helped me so much! I’ve always wanted a bullet journal and I finally got one and this video was the most simple while giving me good examples of what to put in my journal. My journal is now organized how I would like it, though based on yours and I’m loving it so far 😊 Great video!
Thank you!! I have been looking for a planner for weeks and this is definitely what I am going with. Excited to see more pf your videos. Thank you Carrie!
This has been on my mind for a bit to start a bullet journal and watching your videos is making me realize that it's something I need to do. I think it would be a great way to help organize myself and reduce some of my overwhelming anxiety that has been hitting me lately. Thank you for this series and I'm definitely going to start one soon! (:
I am on my second bullet journal. One of my favorite ‘trackers’ is for listing the most important prayer points in my life. So down the side I would have, for example, ... the President and Government, Pastor and Church, Missionaries, etc. Every day as I pray I can color in the corresponding square.. it keeps me faithful to my intentions to pray and provides great encouragement at the end of the month to see how many times I was faithful. My second comment is that it took a long time for me to stop comparing what I was able to make my journal look like in comparison to others. I have finally reached a point that I am happy with my set up and feel no need to waste time achieving art and lettering skills that I won’t be able to be that accomplished with in the final analysis.
I'm a 36 yr old dude who suffers from ADHD, and you finally made it a lot easier to understand for me what bullet journaling is about and you give great examples as well. Thank you!
Enjoyed both Part 1 and 2. If you are just starting out as I am, it all seems so overwhelming and you have really made it easier to understand. Just walking thru Michael's makes my eyes glaze over! Do you have a Part 3? Thanks again!
I think I going to use this king of organization, I'm exciting to start it, because the other one I was using doesn't work for me anymore, but the Boulet Journal I think it will do! :D
I really like your videos. I've watched different bullet journal vids but I like yours best. I'm going to be having weight loss surgery soon and I think this will be perfect to keep track of weight, vitamins, and goals.
I just found your channel and I have subscribed. I have been wanting to start a bullet journal for awhile now and wasn't really sure where too but you have made it so easy. I will be starting mine tomorrow. Thank you very much for your channel this has helped me out a lot.
50 by fall!! That's soooooo much better than _______pounds by a certain date! That's totally do-able! I am so glad you shared this video!!! You're pretty awesome!!!!!!!
I just recently learned about bullet journaling -- just in time for the new fiscal year at work! Thanks for all this, and I've subscribed to your channel. Doubt mine will be as artistic, but I'm sure it will prove very useful.
I am using the collections to keep track of where I put things in storage. I just flipped my winter and summer clothes, and it's easy for me to lose track of where I put things like Christmas sweaters or Halloween shirts, so I made a collection. I have also started a collection of ideas and must haves for the house we are remodeling to move into in a few months. I'm just beginning Bullet Journaling this week, so we'll see if it helps come fall. However, I'm still unclear about how much detail to put into the monthly and weekly journal pages; they get clogged pretty quickly. Your videos have helped clear up some issues. Thanks!
The best advice I can give is to be flexible. If one week you put a ton of detail in and another you dont, that's 100% ok! Your journal will change over time to fit your needs and it's important to understand that! That's part of what makes it fun!
This is so very helpful and inspirational. Your journals are beautifully organized, and your handwriting and art is gorgeous! On another note, I LOVE your style of video presentation! You are very good at making the point succinctly. You could do an entire series on that alone - how to make a great RU-vid video! Just subscribed ;)
I didn't expect to learn more German vocabulary by watching a video on bullet journals! How many ways can you cook Kartoffeln? Kartoffeln und Heidelbeeren? That's a combination I wouldn't have put together!
Your videos are super informative and helpful! Thanks! I am really trying to create a world of productivity for myself. I also love being creative. So this is great! Could you also do videos on specific pages? Like: The Credit Card Tracker or any tracker- how you map it out and keep track of it. You show them clearly, but I am interested in your thought process.
Note to self: that video log tracker at 5:55 could be really useful. Note to Carrie: Thanks for putting these videos up! I'm just getting into bujo... it was recommended to me as a planning method that might be better with/for my ADHD. Your videos are helping me figure out how I want to tackle it, so thank you. :-)
