The Bullet Journal Method: Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future by Ryder Carroll

5.0

It's weird that I would give a book on journaling 5 stars. Maybe I'm surprised it helped me so much. My 16 year old daughter has been talking about bullet journaling for a long time, so I thought the book was worth a read. Little did I know this method would be exactly what I was looking for.

Now if you've seen some and their "bujo"ing, it's very elaborate, artistic, and ornate. That is NOT me. I just need things written down, a place to find the things days or weeks later, and a system to keep less minutiae in my brain. I've been naysaying the analog system for quite a while. After all, our family has an up to date Google calendar; color coded and everything! But too many tasks were slipping through the cracks. I feel more in control with my bujo.

I loved the self help tips included. I was not expecting this, but really found it to be a nice surprise. Nothing earth shattering. Just good reminders to take care of myself.
