I adore the fact that Bullet Journal is such a LIVING concept. It constantly evolves and changes. I really wish we would get the second book about this method - a catalog of all the things we've discovered since the original publication
These are cool. I don’t have that kind of structure to my daily logs, but I find myself writing a lot at the end of the day, whether in bullets or paragraphs depending on how I’m feeling. I love to yap in my journal and tell all the stories of the day lol!
LOVE this idea of having a dashboard for the day but even more having it relate to your long term intentions that are hard to active on. However, I love the examples even more! Not only is it helpful to see how you used this new thing, but it also validates using our real handwriting in our bujo (not fake instagram artwork!!). Clearly these examples are close to lived experience but just edited for clarity and sharing on youtube. There is an authenticity coming thru that helps convey your ideas. That helps me so much going forward!
Loved this, Ryder. Especially the inclusion of a "Story" from our day, beautifully described as a lesson (insight) or an event, something that mattered. It is wonderful to have recorded these golden nuggets or highlights of our days. It helps us become more aware of, and alert to, the shining moments of our ordinary days. There is beauty in the mundane.
This Daily Dashboard idea fits in exactly with a challenge that came up in my Morning Pages today. And because Bullet Journalling is such an adaptive system, I know I'll be able to work the Daily Dashboard idea and turn it into something that works for me. Thank you!
I was just reviewing the key concept of INTENTION in the context of the Bullet Journal method, and then this video came out. THANK YOU! It helps a lot.
I had my best journal book yet since starting Feb last year. I'm whizzing through an A5 in around 7-8 weeks. I re-introduced a weekly page about 4 weeks ago. It's made a huge difference. I have also powered into a bullet journal dedicated to a single subject(multiple projects) that's very important to me. So I can easily pick up the project. The weekly is in my main general bujo, it summarises the week but also highlights my main project tasks. I've left extra pages in the index to highlight specific insights on single topics so I can go back and find them more easily.
This video really speaks to me. I’ve been using a custom dashboard since Feb related to my health goals and it’s been transformative. This both gives me new insights and validates what I’ve been doing
Like this very simple approach with a couple of bullets and a line below. I find these minimalist approach are the easiest to keep up. Will try it out!
This is perfect for me during this time of my life. Previously I had a lot of time to journal and reflect through my entries, but with work and a baby it’s been hard to keep up with journaling (which I used as a tool to declutter my mind). With this dashboard method, I can declutter my mind and remain focused, I can reflect in simple steps without having to write paragraphs that I no longer have the time for.
I think dashboards are really helpful to do actions based on intentions so we can benefit in the long term not for temporary time only. I needed it so hard, thank you so much, it is so useful!
I began to watch this video and it sounded so weird, the voice, the facial expressions, everything. Until I realized I was watching in 125% speed. Back to normal, thanks!
Really appreciate this, Ryder. It is timely as I am wanting to capture a daily story. This is good tool and way of capturing it in a consistent place and not sprinkled into my daily log.
I've been doing this for the past month-plus already, and it makes y the biggest difference in my life. Having my intention and wins always in view keeps them in my mind as I go through the day. For me the intention is what I want to hold as true for me for the day, a state of being while I'm doing the things that make the day a win. The wins are small, thins I know I can get done- definitely not stretch goals! Really excellent, Ryder! ❤
Love this! My BuJo is mostly Tah-dah (vs. To do) these days. So a lot of ideas don’t work for me. Daily Dashboard will be an excellent element for me to incorporate. Golden! Thank you, Ryder!
Making sure each day’s activity log makes your life easier the next is a good place to start. ❤ I’m just tired of striving, I want to know and live my life today. If there’s something else I know I need to try to get, then at least I’m starting from a real place that is intrinsically mine ❤ I have my pets, my healthy meals, my church, the books that make me feel at home in them, my home that I keep safe and clean, and my finances I keep in order❤ I don’t really feel the need to strive for being special anymore. But I care for my talent, for music, by reading books and staying active. Lofty goals can b exhausting without a humble lifestyle that you are happy to own. ❤
Love this concept and will adopt this. It strikes me though that is will be more powerful to write an intention in a more active tense. All of these seem to start with “I want” - that’s not an intention. “I will” is, to my mind, much more powerful in terms of commitment to action - intention!
Playing with my BuJo heart with showing examples in pocket and regular book. Try to use pocket size BuJo as my daily driver. Would love to see your thoughts about that.
How does the dashboard work when you have more than one intention? Stick with one per day and change each day? Or change weekly? Monthly? What's "most alive for me right now" changes multiple times throughout the day! :) I like the idea of focusing on one intention per day but not sure how to include other intentions, thanks
I like this idea a lot. I already do a sort of daily event/lesson/story on my monthly page since I don't have a lot of monthly appointments to track. I've been thinking of that list as my version of a habit tracker - it's proof each day that I've done something intentionally towards my goals. I like the idea of a daily dashboard giving you a space to keep your most intentionally chosen tasks top of mind. I think I may coopt that bottom circle as a place to drop a daily creative idea or question - as one of my intentions is to nurture/train my idea generation skill. Or I may make my "daily idea" the monthly list for June and put the daily story here as you did. 🤔 Either way, love it! I really enjoy that the content lately has been more about using the bujo structure to intentionally create the life you want, vs. simple time/task management. Thank you!
I *just* started using a line to divide my “yes these things today” tasks from my “ideas of things that could be done or can happen later” notes. I even was tying the dashboard section back to major goals, though there are some days where it’s set on work focus tasks. Seems we were thinking along the same lines here!
WORDS format--is there more information on that? I am struggling with O-Observe. Is that just a "journal" entry or is there something specific that should be observed?
So, I am trying this … but want to stay with mit W.O.R.D.S. Log out at the end of the day. One question: Do you set an Intention for the day or a bigger one (from the front intention page?), so its for a period?
I like the idea of setting up the dashboard when I do my PM reflection. But what if I need to write something down for today and I have no space for notes (in today)? Do I write things down in "tomorrow"?
Love the idea but I don´t understand how often you set the intentions, like you set an intention every day or once a week or a month? I just don´t get it
A little bit of both - putting the "headlines" in one spread (Monthly Timeline) can be visually impactful in easily seeing patterns at the end of the month
Ryder, I've been binge watching your videos, which have great content, and I'm learning a ton. Thank you! However, I've noticed--and have been distracted by your more recent videos--where it appears you are lip synching yourself...WHY? It's very distracting for this ADHD gal. To the point I have to "rewind" over and over to get a certain point. If you're having equipment malfunctions, can you just talk over some B roll footage? I have held off saying anything, but maybe am now one of a few willing to give you a heads-up: You're doing your content a disservice...and it pains me to say it. 😔
