The Bullet Journal Method: Track Your Past, Order Your Present, Plan Your Future by Ryder Carroll
3.0
Firstly - I would give this a 3.5, not a 3, but there is no option.
This was a great way to start the new year, with a refresh on an old system I've been using for years now. It reminded me of how useful the original elements of the system were, and how trying to use them again might help me along with some of my goals this year.
Now the reason this is a 3.5 not a 5 star rated book, is how at times it is a bit too.......... preachy. So many inspirational quotes and 'if you dont live life fully now what are you doing' kind of jam.
I don't mind it, but to be honest, I would have preferred a pared down version of this book, with an intro, the system in its entirety in the middle (with no waffling or anecdotes or heart wrenching stories of children with epilepsy) and then some more elaborate uses of it at the end.
I understand why the author chose to write an 'inspirational' book, but I think he may have forgotten one of his own mantras, of keeping it simple, and remembering what its all about: keeping organised.
