Got lots of great ideas and am ready to dust off my journal and get back to it.

I read The Bullet Journal Method, which was more about the why of this method of journaling. This book, Dot Journaling, is an excellent reference for how to bullet journal. The author provides so much helpful information and really good sample pages. I also liked that she emphasized that you can be as creative as you want to be. While I am not ready to give up my current planner, I am going to incorporate some of the ideas that I learned. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get more organized or wants to track their life.

The book is good if you do not take account that she rips off the Bullet Journal method and dissed the creator of the method right from the start.

This was an excellent, practical book with many good ideas for dot journals. I also love that she spent time writing about her favorite pens and accessories.

Simple, straightforward, lighthearted and silly and with beautiful, helpful examples throughout. Highly recommend this to anyone just beginning to bullet journal and looking for a good jumping-off point!

This book is very, very helpful, not just for the beginner, but for those who have tried and failed at bullet journaling many times over.
I'm one of those people who learned about bullet journaling waaaaaaayyyy back when it first started getting popular. I tried it, I failed. I put it aside for a while. I tried it again, I failed again. I put it aside again. Rinse and repeat. I can't count how many times I've tried and failed at it, and I think it's mostly because I get so overwhelmed seeing all the beautiful layouts and spreads on Instagram. I want my journal to look like that, but I also want it to be functional, and it's a struggle to find layouts that work for me while at the same time trying to make the pages look nice and creative.
What I love about this book is that Miller emphasizes that you should keep it simple in the beginning, get used to just doing the thing before you start adding more flair to it. I also love the many different layout examples she provides - they are varied enough that I am able to compare the differences of how each layout would work or not work for me, and then incorporate the features of what I need.
It still remains to be seen if this is the time I will finally stick with bullet journaling, but in any case, I believe that Miller's book will be helpful to anyone who's looking to try it.

I enjoyed all the little trivia about and extracts from journals. There were good and easily implemented suggestions. The writing style was paced well and entertaining.

felt ripped off and not as meaningful as the bullet journal method
