    This would really help me cause I find myself rewriting items for my to do list all the time! Thank you for sharing :D

  • @sistergoldenhair0727
    @sistergoldenhair0727 4 ปีที่แล้ว +126

    I do mine a little differently. I put a dot on the day I start a task and an x when I finish the task so at a glance I know when something was started and finished.

      I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
      I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

      @Ronan Joziah Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm.
      I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

    • @cashsilas3047
      @cashsilas3047 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Ronan Joziah it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D

    I love this! I have been procrastinating on starting my BuJo because I knew I would be rewriting so many tasks but this is a huge help!

    • @arapaimagold8088
      @arapaimagold8088 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      As Ryder said, rewriting is what driving us to get the task done.

  • @NevenaH
    @NevenaH 4 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I LOVE the Dutch door spread you made! Totally going to give it a try - been struggling with too long task lists and forgetting sometimes to transition task to next week. Thnks for sharing!

    • @jaymegordis3481
      @jaymegordis3481 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Me too!! I need to see the month calendar in each working page and this is a great idea!

  • @Sophie-wi3su

    Thank you.

    Watching numerous videos by many people did not help me understand Bullet Journaling until watching your videos. It finally clicked. I have watched many of your videos and videos by other people learning a lot. Ryder Carroll's website helped a lot also. Thank you for making your videos. Looking forward to using bullet journaling and watching more videos. Randy

  • @bechillas7225
    @bechillas7225 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I'd never heard of this, but this is such a good idea. Definitely going to use this for next week so I don't have to keep writing the same thing each day when I don't get them done!

  • @jaymegordis3481
    @jaymegordis3481 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really like this method. I manage 100+ utility construction projects simultaneously that have numerous phases, steps, levels of difficulty and dependencies. I’m going to try this weekly running list. What I really like is the “1/2 X” or / to indicate worked on but not completed. This will help serve as a reminder that even if I didn’t finish something I DID work on it. 👏👏

  • @Nikkimattei
    @Nikkimattei 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I hadn't considered this method; However, this could work for me. Thank you for going into more detail about it.

  • @chipblock2854
    @chipblock2854 4 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    I do this in a spreadsheet on my computer and have written a few easy macros that keeps the list up to date and sorted. If something needs to be carried over to next week it does it automatically. There are programs that you can buy but making my own spreadsheet was very easy.
    Also I have it automatically sort by days of the week so I don't miss anything. Looking down a list in any order is one way of missing an item to do. One last macro is set up to sort by various tasks that need to be done prior to others.
    Finally, if I need to I print out a task report for the day, week, or month I can do so easily. I also have it linked to my calendar on my phone and desktoo to set reminders.
    Doing it by hand is way too time consuming and old fashion.

    • @DaniLong
      @DaniLong 4 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Could you possibly make a template of it (with no personal information) and share it as a google doc? It sounds neat and I really geek out w/respect to spreadsheets.

    • @VastiHannie
      @VastiHannie 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Just here to bump Dani Long's comment!

    • @ericaanderson6889
      @ericaanderson6889 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I completely agree with Dani. I would love a generic template of this. I love a good spreadsheet but am terrible at setting them up myself lol

    @jamilynn322 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thanks for this - it's incredibly helpful - now my BuJo won't be filled with random Post-it notes filled with tasks I don't want to forget but haven't scheduled a day for yet. :-)

  • @barbd00
    @barbd00 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have struggled with planners for so long. Bullet journals were my best, but I still struggled. I had been using something similar and this video helps clear up some messy areas I had. Thank you so much!

  • @LizDJSailorK

  • @MM-kq6fe
    @MM-kq6fe 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love this method! I'm starting a bullet journal for the first time in my life because I'm in DESPERATE need of organisation (i'm starting my last year of university, big projects and exams) and I'm definitely using this method!! Thank you!

  • @missfl0werstar
    @missfl0werstar 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks, Kara, this method looks awesome. I've been struggling to coordinate weekly and daily task lists in my BuJo, but this just looks like the perfect solution.

  • @khsmiles
    @khsmiles 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm using this method for November. I was aware of it before but you inspired me to use it for weekly bujo. I'm loving it so far.

  • @darrylwhitefeather207
    @darrylwhitefeather207 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love this video. Especially the dutch door! It's an amazing idea to use it for the monthly overview because my problem with monthly habit trackers or other long term spreads is that I forget to check on them

  • @hellomoon6839
    @hellomoon6839 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for making this video, I love this method because it really speaks to my need to 'dump' all the tasks that are cluttering my mind AND really works for my reoccurring tasks or "habits" like watering plants and self care. Definitely sharing and recommending this!

  • @kittfln8168
    @kittfln8168 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This whole set up was genius. 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 thank u. This has help me a lot. Especially the tabs and everything

  • @alexreywils
    @alexreywils 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love this. I've been trying to figure out a way to incorporate my work tasks and home tasks into my bujo without ending up with multiple pages for one day. Leaves me with no space for doodles or journaling, which I've been trying to get back into.

  • @bethanyplatt3882
    @bethanyplatt3882 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m going to definitely try this weekly spread idea. My week is pretty up in the air with work and I end up making a mess of “traditional” weekly spreads. I’m a manager so some days are just really bad and I don’t want to do anything when I get home. This will still give me a bird’s eye view and keep things orderly. Yay!

  • @tfifanypalmer4375
    @tfifanypalmer4375 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I can see how this method is useful. I've tried it and have had a problem keeping up with it. I guess I need to try it again and make keeping up with it a priority. Thank you for this video!

    • @lizshoemaker
      @lizshoemaker 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @kilroysmom
    @kilroysmom 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This looks cool! I do not have many events during the week so I'm still not sure about the weekly layout, but have tasks which should be completed on a specific week. This way I can plan better and can note also if I was lazy and did not complete something. Thank you for sharing!

  • @jayemarsh6231
    @jayemarsh6231 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    well. that saved my brain, thank you! I keep dropping the ball in paper schedules and have switch to doing it in Goodnotes so I can have it on my phone too. Still liked the planning so I stop triple-booking and forgetting bills but every day is NOT how my life goes! Brilliant!

  • @journeywiththelight5284

  • @georgiamold5135
    @georgiamold5135 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @iamlaurenhannah
    @iamlaurenhannah 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @mylifeinmoderation7182
    @mylifeinmoderation7182 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is so helpful, thank you!! I have been trying to figure out how to plan my weekly tasks that don't have a "due" date, but still need to get done

  • @floramadeira7280
    @floramadeira7280 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    It looks really useful, but I worry I might lose track of how many tasks I have per day, and when it comes to events and appointments, I might accidentally schedule things overlapping each other ;-;

  • @LydiaKrow
    @LydiaKrow 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Interestingly, this is very similar to a Franklin Covey planner method - their plastic bookmark was also a to-do list and you created a master list of things to accomplish that shifted to each day as you moved the bookmark, and then you organized your rolling list with priority colors or symbols to help you decide which was the most important to finish first. I use a variation of this in my weekly pages where I write the to-do list out on the left side of the page (I have a blank column) and then migrate individual items to specific days if I know that ahead of time or pluck things off the master list as I plan each day. It seems like a lot of repetition in writing, but it helps me organize my thoughts and reinforce what I am doing for that day by writing it again.

  • @marcypan8219

  • @christineengland-connor4674
    @christineengland-connor4674 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have been using this method as best as I can sense you showed it in your video when you created the Dutch door pages. Thank you for this video as it will help me really put this method into proper use!! I have been really enjoying this method sense I incorporated it a few weeks back. Thanks for sharing it then and explaining it better in this video!!

  • @RotemN
    @RotemN 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Bullet Journaling never worked for me, but I do use to do lists on a daily basis and was just searching for a new method to organise - corrently I use little notes to write but they always fill up and I need new ones, so I'll try this method starting next week and hopefully it will help!
    Thank you for sharing this great method!

  • @aemilia2313
    @aemilia2313 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @wildbill23c 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This seems to be a great method, going to give this one a try, nothing else seems to work that well...I also need to carry a journal or something for work because from one day to the next I forget what wasn't done, what I need to add to the next day's schedule, etc. This would be a very quick method to track all those things. Thank you for the awesome ideas.

    @samueltremblay275 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was using the Alastair method in my futur log but didn't realized I could use it in my weekly log. It's actually a very nice way to pack as much data as I can. I love to use as much space as I can in each page of my bujo and like many I'm sure, I usually have a lot of things happening in few days and nothing in others but I don't know that in advance. I can now use my bujo more efficiently because of you ;)

  • @MiaBlaha
    @MiaBlaha 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    I like Alastair method and used it for a while similar way you do. But after while I realized that by listing tasks for whole week I’m missing the reflection points, do not use rapid logging and I stopped questioning if listed tasks are necessary and make sense. My bullet journal turned into task list instead of the reflection of my life and I didn’t like that. Now I’m back to basics based on the book and it’s working fine. Is your Bujo plain task list or do you have some way how to incorporate rapid logging and also reflect life as it’s happening?

  • @mariekehabraken5012

    I like this paper set up. Thanks for sharing a precise monthly and weekly plan. I really wish you showed your first page of this layout. I’m trying to figure out if your first week of rolling tasks starts on the first full page or first half page?

    Thanks Kara! My bujo was getting kind of... too routine? I wanted to try something different!
