Summary
Transform your life using the Bullet Journal Method， the revolutionary organisational system and worldwide phenomenon。
In his long-awaited first book， Ryder Carroll， the creator of the enormously popular Bullet Journal® organisational system， explains how to use his method to:
• Track the past: using nothing more than a pen and paper， create a clear， comprehensive， and organised record of your thoughts and goals。
• Order the present: find daily calm by prioritising and minimising your workload and tackling your to-do list in a more mindful and productive way。
• Design the future: establish and appraise your short-term and long-term goals， plan more complex projects simply and effectively， and live your life with meaning and purpose。
Like many of us， Ryder Carroll tried everything to get organised — countless apps， systems， planners， you name it。 Nothing really worked。 Then he invented his own simple system that required only pen and paper， which he found both effective and calming。 He shared his method with a few friends， and before long he had a worldwide viral movement。 Hundreds of thousands of Bullet Journal fans now spread the word and read Ryder's blog and newsletter。
The system combines elements of a wishlist， a to-do list， and a diary。 It makes it easy to get thoughts out of your head （an unreliable witness） and onto paper， to see them clearly and decide what to do about them。 It helps you identify what matters， and set goals accordingly。 By breaking long-term goals into small actionable steps， users map out an approachable path towards continual improvement， allowing them to stay focused despite the crush of incoming demands。
But this is much more than a time management book。 It's also a manifesto for what Ryder calls "intentional living:" making sure that your beliefs and actions align。 Even if you already use a Bullet Journal®， this book gives you new exercises to become more calm and focused， new insights on how to prioritise well， and a new awareness of the power of analogue tools in a digital world。

Sorprendentemente interesante。 Me fascina la idea de añadirle metodología a la simple acción de llevar una agenda。 Y es aún más emocionante que sea una metodología basada en ciencia， filosofía y psicología。 Ya tenía un Bullet Journal， pero conocer el sistema a profundidad fue esclarecedor y hasta terapéutico。 Este es el sistema perfecto para la gente creativa con problemas de atención y motivación。 Y para las niñas de los plumones。 Desde que hice mi Bullet Journal （y ahora que， gracias a este li Sorprendentemente interesante。 Me fascina la idea de añadirle metodología a la simple acción de llevar una agenda。 Y es aún más emocionante que sea una metodología basada en ciencia， filosofía y psicología。 Ya tenía un Bullet Journal， pero conocer el sistema a profundidad fue esclarecedor y hasta terapéutico。 Este es el sistema perfecto para la gente creativa con problemas de atención y motivación。 Y para las niñas de los plumones。 Desde que hice mi Bullet Journal （y ahora que， gracias a este libro， lo he perfeccionado）， he sido más productiva， he alcanzado más logros y me he sentido más en contacto con mi creatividad de lo que me había sentido en mucho tiempo。 Definitivamente es una herramienta que vale la pena explorar y analizar más a fondo。 Le doy cuatro estrellas porque al final la lectura se volvió un poco floja。 Ya no quedaba mucho más que decir pero aún así había detalles que dejar claros y pues， ni modo， se hizo un poquito tedioso。 Sin embargo， el resto del libro es muy sencillo， fácil de leer y entender y bastante ameno。 Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que le interese tener una libretita mamona para organizar su vida。 。。。more

Me ha servido para comprender bien el sistema， pues lo explica detenidamente y de forma amena。 Incluye muchos datos e ideas interesantes que pueden servir de análisis y autorreflexión。

there is a lot of useful information in this book。 However， I was expecting much more visual information。 The book is mostly narrative with only a few examples。 When there was a link to a page it took me to a long narrative about the page and not an example of what the page looked like。 This is not what I was expecting。

Não senti necessidade de concluir o livro todo， porque ele repete muitas vezes a filosofia por trás do bullet journal。 Eu esperava um guia， acho que outros livros e até mesmo os vídeos fazem um trabalho mais sucinto。 Ainda sim é bom entender alguns raciocínios utilizados ba construção do bullet journal。 Recomendo a leitura， mas não do livro todo

As somebody I forgot the name of once said: "some books should have been blog posts。 In fact， some books are blog posts turned into a book"。This quote couldn't be more fitting for this title - instead of wasting my time struggling to get through this one， I should have simply watched a YouTube video instead。It seems like Ryder blogged about the various benefits of bullet journaling for a few years， including a lot of self-improvement stories， and then tried to jam all of it in this book。The resu As somebody I forgot the name of once said: "some books should have been blog posts。 In fact， some books are blog posts turned into a book"。This quote couldn't be more fitting for this title - instead of wasting my time struggling to get through this one， I should have simply watched a YouTube video instead。It seems like Ryder blogged about the various benefits of bullet journaling for a few years， including a lot of self-improvement stories， and then tried to jam all of it in this book。The result is highly incoherent and hard to read: In the first section， the concept of bullet journaling is explained。 This part can be replaced by the 10-minute video on the topic。After that， a variety of self-improvement topics are touched。 I recommend reading books about the specific ideas instead of this short summary。In the end， the art is touched - which is mainly about custom collections。All in all， I don't recommend reading unless you're really into the topic。 。。。more

Interesting IdeasThe author's brain and my brain work very differently。 The idea of using a physical notebook to track tasks and calendars would drive me insane。 But。。。 I know people who could benefit from this， and I've adopted some of the author's ideas on journaling to help me get out of my own way。 That makes this a good book for ideas and seeing what might work for you to help you stay on top of things。 Interesting IdeasThe author's brain and my brain work very differently。 The idea of using a physical notebook to track tasks and calendars would drive me insane。 But。。。 I know people who could benefit from this， and I've adopted some of the author's ideas on journaling to help me get out of my own way。 That makes this a good book for ideas and seeing what might work for you to help you stay on top of things。 。。。more

I really like discovering life hacks， but i'm also very cynical of them as most are either very obvious， or just impractical to most people。 For me the Bullet Journal Method is an interesting and original approach to structuring your notes and （I guess） your life。 I use an A5 notebook for capturing tasks and information at work anyway， so the method described here is something i will try as its not too much outside of my apathy zone for change。The actual method is mostly captured in the first 30 I really like discovering life hacks， but i'm also very cynical of them as most are either very obvious， or just impractical to most people。 For me the Bullet Journal Method is an interesting and original approach to structuring your notes and （I guess） your life。 I use an A5 notebook for capturing tasks and information at work anyway， so the method described here is something i will try as its not too much outside of my apathy zone for change。The actual method is mostly captured in the first 30% of the book， and even then you could most likely cover it in maybe only ten pages - but I didn't feel this book was padded with unnecessary information。 The majority of the book tries to build up your confidence in starting to use the method， and explains some additional methods to solve specific use-cases。Definitely worth reading and certainly worth trying， you never know - it might be a life-hack that will revolutionise how you track tasks， capture notes， plan for the future。If I find this approach works well I will be bumping up the rating to 5 stars but for now， 4 stars。 。。。more

I like this in principle and theory， and I do a lot of what is described here in my regular planner， including logging daily， weekly， monthly tasks， tracking habits， and migrating content as needed。 However， as someone devoted to longform journaling， while I know you *can* accommodate longform journaling within your bullet journal for me this feels awkward。 My longform journaling is private， and the idea of its being available in the one I carry around with me and could potentially leave somewhe I like this in principle and theory， and I do a lot of what is described here in my regular planner， including logging daily， weekly， monthly tasks， tracking habits， and migrating content as needed。 However， as someone devoted to longform journaling， while I know you *can* accommodate longform journaling within your bullet journal for me this feels awkward。 My longform journaling is private， and the idea of its being available in the one I carry around with me and could potentially leave somewhere or have open for someone else to glimpse gives me great pause。 So I'll be sticking to my planner/public， journal/home system， although I will definitely be more intentionally incorporating some of the tracking techniques I learned in this book！ 。。。more

A truly excellent book to keep you on track for your goals， and find purpose。 Today there are so many misconceptions about what is "bullet journaling" and none of them seem to fit into what Ryder Carroll has developed for true quick， mindful organization。 I've been following the method for over four years， and couldn't live without it now。 Highly recommend。 A truly excellent book to keep you on track for your goals， and find purpose。 Today there are so many misconceptions about what is "bullet journaling" and none of them seem to fit into what Ryder Carroll has developed for true quick， mindful organization。 I've been following the method for over four years， and couldn't live without it now。 Highly recommend。 。。。more
