Gained some practical advice on how to improve my journalling systems but at times the book veered too much into self help territory.

Good and short, but offered nothing that the website/google/Youtube doesn't offer if you are interested in starting Bullet Journaling. A little unnecessarily "self helpish" at times... I read this for guidance on bullet journaling, not deep self analysis.

This book is for those looking for the “why” behind bullet journaling. It focuses more on the theories and practices of self-discovery/ improvement, more than giving advice on layouts or spreads.
I had only heard of bullet journaling before I picked up this book, and so I found the content extremely useful and helpful. The book is about half bullet journal tutorial and the rest self help advice.
I have been searching for the perfect planner for years, but nothing really quite worked for me. I wanted something that was flexible but also something I would instinctively reach for. Creating my own bullet journal might be my answer. I turned an old unused journal into an experimental bullet journal to see if it worked for me.
Surprisingly, it does! I still have a hard time keeping track of where everything is, but I think that is why he recommends trying it for 2-3 months. It’s getting more familiar and easier as I keep going, and it isn’t so intimidating that I avoid filling it out as I often did with purchased planners.
The second half of the book, focused on goals, priorities, and routines were highly valuable. Not a ton of groundbreaking information here, but his suggestions were practical and easy to understand. I ended up taking notes in the second half because I felt the material was valuable.
Would I recommend paying the full hardback price for this book? No - you can get this info online from the author’s site and on user sites like Reddit. Would I recommend checking it out from the library? Absolutely.
