I get so many gems from your videos to incorporate into my life to make it better. From the Miracle Morning, to gratitude, to GTD..... I was feeling overwhelmed by my 2017 goals and in this video I love how you broke your goals down by quarters and have a next actions list. My sincerest thanks for all you do Kara!
Recently ran into this concept for the first time-had never heard of it and I was captivated by it. I have been watching multiple videos trying to absorb and wanted to let you know that your's are finally getting it there for me. I am so excited to get started...I work at home, in an unorganized fashion for way too many hours in a disorganized home with a clipboard that sits next to me with millions of sticky notes which is my current method of migrating tasks. Thank you for your easy to understand and comprehensive videos, all of those pieces are starting to come together.
I love the idea of quarterly goals. I've never been someone who can stick to a yearly goal, or to have consistent motivation throughout the year. I think breaking up my goals into small goals that can be accomplished in three months will really help me :)
You are so inspiring to me. I just can't get enough of looking at your gorgeous notebook. I love when you do flip throughs. This is definetly my faveorite video to watch every single month. Sometimes I wish we got weekly flip throughs. Lol. For 2017 I have decided to start doing a word of the month (better for me; I am an outta sight, outta mind so I got keep it small), and you and the tribe have been a huge help to me. So excited to kick off this year with a plan for the first time with a bujo, especially since Baby #1 is on it's way. Huge year for me.
Do you have a more in depth kinda' "how to" personal care tracker video? I think I want to incorporate that and the mood mandala...thank you for sharing this!😍🎁
I bought a planner last month in efforts of being excited to start Jan fresh and i haven't kept up with the planner at ALL! I'm super planner oriented and concerned why I haven't been able to stay on task and realized watching your video I need the BULLET JOURNAL! I saw this method before but didn't want to take the time to complete a full journal however I have BEEN doing it because I actually take more time making my on personal lists verses what's already organized in the planner. BULLET JOURNAL here I come and thank you for sharing....this is very similar to what I was looking for to be stress free
Your journal is beautiful! I've been keeping journals for many years and when I go back and look at them I see how much they have changed (how much I have changed) and it's really fun!
Love the "hello 2017" page! Going to print that out for sure. I also love the graditute page. I have been looking for a way to log my graditute and make note of positives about life. Thanks so much for sharing! Have a wonderful Christmas and fabulous vacation!!
Love it all! I took some notes all the way. 🙂 thanks for the free printables - I'm gonna give the mood mandala a try! I enjoyed your email and am glad to hear you're giving yourself permission to take a break AND ENJOY IT! We'll be here when you get back. 😘
Awesome! I'm starting my first bujo in January and am super excited. It's really just going to be the collections part of it because I have a separate planner and don't really need two.
You have amazing penmanship! Truly a lost art that speaks to my heart. I come from an era where good penmanship was very important. I believe that's why I like to write things out today. Really enjoyed this video as well.
I've ordered a bullet journal a few days ago. it's a cute berry color. I am so ecstatic to get it. I'm also impatient lol. I can't wait to take your tips and do the journal the way I want to do it!!!
Baliiii..!! One of the best island of a hundred beautiful islands in my country, Indonesia. Beautiful culture, scenery, lanscape, people. After Bali Island i recommend you Raja Ampat Island on the Indonesia's west papua province. Welcome and have a good time on January 2017 in Bali 😊
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! I love all of them, and I don't think my bujo would be approachable without you. Also your hand lettering is already gorgeous!
Squee. I randomly found your stickers on Etsy and fell in love. Now, TH-cam has brought me to your channel. I'm a newbie with very little creativity and am so excited I found you.
Hi just want to let you know I just came across your page tonight while looking for journalling and bullet journalling inspiration for my New Years resolution to get into journalling and list making - basically documenting my life as 2016 has gone by in a blur for me and I don't really know what I have accomplished this year... I want 2017 to be different and for me to feel like I have focus and direction this year. So thank you for the inspiration. I've subscribed and I'm about to go follow your other social media pages! Looking forward to the year ahead and hopefully following your journey as well. All the best! 😊
your layouts and videos are always informative, so good. I'm going to be using the upto the end of my book too, i have a quarter left and itching to start in a new book.
If you're going to continue using a journal for a new year, you could always dedicate a page to announce the new year with something artsy. Then you can do the new year on the following page, using the old key and index, or make a new index following the announcement page.
Hey! I love this idea! I feel *so* all over the place at the moment- so many hopes and ambitions but not really feeling the organisation to achieve any of it. A massive thank you from New Zealand!
You are going to love Bali. Also make sure to get an Avacado coffee and eat gado gado.... also if you aren't already planning to you must get up to the gillis. You are going to love Bali.
Looove your videos. Have you ever thought of getting a hobonichi? It's a bit more regimented than a plain bujo but you can definitely use it in that way. I think you'll LOVE it for watercolours & fountain pens!
I have been waiting for this video.. Thank you Kara.. I was also confused if I should switch to a new journal for 2017 as my old journal wasn't finished yet.. :-)
Love your videos Kara, just a heads up. The link to your own etsy store in the description box gives an error page.... thought you wanted to know :-). Take care and have fun in Bali!
your big goals divided into quarters inspired me to make a weekly goal that is kept in one page. still kinda afraid to step into big, yearly goals, but i think weekly is fine especially if i keep them in one place. so, i hope you don't mind!
I have decides to start a bullet journal for 2017 cause I love to make pages look very organised and have something to keep neat. I always do this with my notes for school, but since I have my last classes in januari this would be great to relax and scribble my ideas in. I also really want to write down my memories. So I want to make a bullet journal with a bit planning (not so much i was thinking just the monthly spreads and weekly logs and for daily logs sort of little diary idea. But I do a lot of song writing and I also want to put all my ideas and lyrics and inspiration things in there. How am I gonna fit this all in there. I was thinking to dedicate the back of the book to music, but I like the idea of just going through it as time and ideas come. But at the same time I don't want it all over the place. Hahaha so now I'm trying to figure out what will work for me. Any advice? I love yours!
Been trying to find a way to organise my life as I am sick of forgetting things and being lazy about everything but trying to find a way I can stick to has been proving difficult. However, after seeing this video I think this will be best for me as I can take each day as it comes while still thinking of the future. I am going to be purchasing the notebook but is it lined, dotted or plain that you use? I am not sure which to go for.
I think she uses the dotted one. Personally I like that one the best, because you can use the pages however you want... like with lined ones I always feel a bit restricted, I don't like skipping more than one row and I just am not a big fan of those visually. Plain ones however could be a bit more work, for example if you want to write and would like it to look clean and not have the lines go upwards or downwards you would need to draw lines first and so on. So in the end it depends on how you want to use it and how much work you want to put in it... and of course what's the most visually appealing for you.
You mentioned a tribe and resource library? I just designed a bujo on Erin condren, scheduled to come around the 19th! I'm stoked to get started and cannot believe I didn't know this was a thing until now lol thank you for amazing videos!!
What adhesive you use to secure printables into your journal? I worry about the pages being warped , bubbly or thick. Yours looks perfect thought- I didn't even realize the December tracker was a printable until you pointed it out! Thanks!
Kara are you still doing a memories page or has it kind of morphed into your new gratitude layout? I need to make more time for doodles. I love the new gratitude page. It seems like it's less pressure in having to come up with something daily.
I love your journal! it is so pretty. as i am not bullet journaling i am wondering how you guys use this journal on a day to day basis? how do you keep up with logging everything? this system seems to need so much care? but perhaps it is just a personal character thing. i would spend either the whole day playing with it or doing nothing in it for weeks. thanks Julia :)
Hi Kara, another great video :) I have a question, do you still keep a separate blog & biz journal? I'm wondering if I should combine mine into one for 2017 or if I should keep them separate. What do you think are the pros and cons of keeping a separate biz bujo? Thanks for all your inspiring videos and blog posts!
Hi Kara. I must have missed some videos. You obviously changed from the Filofax Domino A5. I have just bought all the supplies required. Can you tell why the change? I'm still new at this...just setting up January now. Thanks, Kara. Love the tutorial videos!
I saw the Mood Mandala on Instagram and fell in love! I saved a picture to my phone and I really want to incorporate it into my journal, I'm just not what to do with those days that we have when go through an array of moods. Which one do I pick to represent the day, how do you chose?
My brain requires me to make a fresh one because I have OCD or something. Certain things I just have to do and one of those is keeping things properly in their correct groupings. If the month doesn't end on the correct page than I will re copy everything into a whole new planner. I'm trying the bullet journals but it's proving stressful
Hi there… love your videos ! Question… once you make a planner in Keynote and import to GoodNotes , can you take it back to Keynotes to do some changes? Thanks for your time
On your individual days you have a rectangle with what looks like numbers n different ones are different colours. It is above the weather. What is the rectangles for? I might have missed something!
Love the mood mandala but how do you draw it small enough to fit your journal? Also do you do just one mood color for each day.? I saw the downloadable mandala you provided. but don't want to have to glue it in the journal. Do office supply stores carry any peel and stick paper? Thankd
I think it's a mental thing because with the index and being able to tab or whatever, even spine labels - why wouldn't you just continue with the same journal? But I see how someone would want a "fresh start" for a new year.
Hi there! I'm a bullet journal newbie and your videos have been super helpful. I'm also a vlogger, and was wondering if you can tell me what editing software you use? I LOVE how well put-together your videos are, and I'm looking to move past Movie Maker. Enjoy Bali!!
Are you an artist or did you just practice to achieve the amazing handwriting and drawings? Looks so great and really hoping I could get to that level someday
Hi! I make bullet journal videos too. I was just wondering how you get your phone to be above your workspace... I love your videos (I've mentioned you in a couple of mine)
I get so many gems from your videos to incorporate into my life to make it better. From the Miracle Morning, to gratitude, to GTD..... I was feeling overwhelmed by my 2017 goals and in this video I love how you broke your goals down by quarters and have a next actions list. My sincerest thanks for all you do Kara!
the handwriting course sounds really interesting!! can't wait for more details :)

BULLET JOURNAL here I come and thank you for sharing....this is very similar to what I was looking for to be stress free
Loving the nails and absolutely adore your color combos in your bujo!
This is so inspiring! I need a journal now!!!
Your bullet journals make me smile! Love the "hello 2017"!
Love the Mood Mandala printable idea! Your layouts/spreads are always inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
I have a mood tracker in my bujo already but that mood mandala took me out of nowhere! it's so beautiful, I would love to try it for January!
Your journal is beautiful! I've been keeping journals for many years and when I go back and look at them I see how much they have changed (how much I have changed) and it's really fun!
THIS inspires me so much to start being minimalistic and creative at the same time! Save books, save time, and have an amazing memory of a journal!
Such a plethora of amazing ideas. I like the gratitude section - it is stirring up possibilities of time with spirit.
Your handwriting is unreal! And I'm in love with the colors you use.
Love the "hello 2017" page! Going to print that out for sure. I also love the graditute page. I have been looking for a way to log my graditute and make note of positives about life. Thanks so much for sharing! Have a wonderful Christmas and fabulous vacation!!
Love your handwriting and doodles! I'm starting my first bullet journal for 2017 and you gave me so much inspiration! Keep being awesome.
Love it all! I took some notes all the way. 🙂 thanks for the free printables - I'm gonna give the mood mandala a try! I enjoyed your email and am glad to hear you're giving yourself permission to take a break AND ENJOY IT! We'll be here when you get back. 😘
Loving the Mood Mandala! And looking forward to the handwriting course!
Awesome! I'm starting my first bujo in January and am super excited. It's really just going to be the collections part of it because I have a separate planner and don't really need two.
You have amazing penmanship! Truly a lost art that speaks to my heart. I come from an era where good penmanship was very important. I believe that's why I like to write things out today. Really enjoyed this video as well.
have just printed off my hello 2017, I love it and have chosen my word of the year!!
I made a spread called 20 things before I'm 20! It's kinda like a bucket list that I want to get done before I'm 20! Really love it🎈
You said in your hello 2017 that you wrote down words that inspire you, right? Perhaps your word should be "inspire."
This video was so soothing to watch! Excellent!
I've ordered a bullet journal a few days ago. it's a cute berry color. I am so ecstatic to get it. I'm also impatient lol. I can't wait to take your tips and do the journal the way I want to do it!!!

Your video's are so impairing. I started a bullet journal this January. It's so practical and pretty at the same time.
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! I love all of them, and I don't think my bujo would be approachable without you. Also your hand lettering is already gorgeous!
I appreciate that so much! Thank you :)
Squee. I randomly found your stickers on Etsy and fell in love. Now, TH-cam has brought me to your channel. I'm a newbie with very little creativity and am so excited I found you.
Thanks so much for sharing the mandala idea -- I've been looking for something to use as a mood tracker rather than just regular boxes. :)

Just found your channel! Plan on becoming more organized in 2017 and I love how bright and inspiring your videos are.
I'm so proud of how far you've come 😊💛

Hi, Kara. Are you going to add the calendex somewhere for 2017? I really love it! The mandala is super! Have a nice holiday!
Handwriting course!? Yay!! Can't wait!
hey Kara! i was wondering when you go out do you take your bullet journal with you, and can you do a what's in my bag video?
You are going to love Bali. Also make sure to get an Avacado coffee and eat gado gado.... also if you aren't already planning to you must get up to the gillis. You are going to love Bali.
Welcome back! your smile is so contagious! hugs 😊☺😊
Looove your videos. Have you ever thought of getting a hobonichi? It's a bit more regimented than a plain bujo but you can definitely use it in that way. I think you'll LOVE it for watercolours & fountain pens!
Thank you for sharing Kara! I love your videos! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Waa... you're going to Bali! I am sure you will have a good time there. Enjoy Bali!
*sending love from Indonesia*
I think that the mood mandala is amazing! I'm going to try that this month :D
I have been waiting for this video.. Thank you Kara.. I was also confused if I should switch to a new journal for 2017 as my old journal wasn't finished yet.. :-)
was just setting up my bujo when I got your video notification
Love your videos Kara, just a heads up. The link to your own etsy store in the description box gives an error page.... thought you wanted to know :-). Take care and have fun in Bali!
Your nails are always so pretty! Hope you have a great New Year!
Welcome to STL! Love your videos. Just purchased a notebook today to get me started. I'll graduate to a Moleskin or leuchtturm one day! :)
I particularly love your podcast schedule!!!! :)
your big goals divided into quarters inspired me to make a weekly goal that is kept in one page. still kinda afraid to step into big, yearly goals, but i think weekly is fine especially if i keep them in one place. so, i hope you don't mind!

Ahhhhh!!! It's here, it's here, it's here! *happy bujo dance*
Also, I loooooove that nail polish!
Thanks, Hannah! I linked to the polish in the video description if you're curious :)
Have a wonderful time with family in St. Louis and rejuvenation in BALI! Happy Holidays and wishing you all you desire and aspire for 2017!

your handwriting is amazing
Thank you so much, Kara! Also, I saw you were featured on whole30's facebook! Go you!
This is amazing! Would love to keep a journal like this. If only I had time. Doing an art degree allows zero time for fun arty things 😩
Omg I got a mention! Your journal looks so pretty!
Kara are you still doing a memories page or has it kind of morphed into your new gratitude layout? I need to make more time for doodles. I love the new gratitude page. It seems like it's less pressure in having to come up with something daily.
Totally off-topic, but I have to know what nail polish you are wearing.
I love your journal! it is so pretty. as i am not bullet journaling i am wondering how you guys use this journal on a day to day basis? how do you keep up with logging everything? this system seems to need so much care? but perhaps it is just a personal character thing. i would spend either the whole day playing with it or doing nothing in it for weeks. thanks Julia :)

You are so artistic - love this planner idea.
On your individual days you have a rectangle with what looks like numbers n different ones are different colours. It is above the weather. What is the rectangles for? I might have missed something!
What kind of Filming / Camera set up do you use to film from this angle 😊
when you said word of the year i immediately thought "oh, mine's cake" then i realised it wasn't a favourite word.
hi Kara; I'm really interested in your personal care tracker - is there a video where you cover how it works? x
Thank you for sharing! You are so helpful!!
Hello ! You don't do any annual overview?
Thank you
I'd like that, too.
Love the mood mandala but how do you draw it small enough to fit your journal? Also do you do just one mood color for each day.? I saw the downloadable mandala you provided. but don't want to have to glue it in the journal. Do office supply stores carry any peel and stick paper?
Thankd
are you going to bali? :):)
I think it's a mental thing because with the index and being able to tab or whatever, even spine labels - why wouldn't you just continue with the same journal?
But I see how someone would want a "fresh start" for a new year.
I love your handwriting 😍😍😍😍
ikr
Hi Kara! I was wondering whether or not you still use your GTD notebook?
I'm a new subscriber and your videos are so amazing you really deserve more subscribers! Great video btw❤️
Once again beautiful Kara x
Merry Christmas girl!
Hi there! I'm a bullet journal newbie and your videos have been super helpful. I'm also a vlogger, and was wondering if you can tell me what editing software you use? I LOVE how well put-together your videos are, and I'm looking to move past Movie Maker. Enjoy Bali!!
Thanks for the compliment! I really appreciate that! I use iMovie for all of my editing :)
Are you an artist or did you just practice to achieve the amazing handwriting and drawings? Looks so great and really hoping I could get to that level someday
It's all practice. Lots and lots of practice :)
Would love💜 a printable mandala 😄
Everyone [Bullet Journal Community] mentions you! *>.
San Diego in the house!
Are you still using your Filofax
Mrs AIC Actually she used it for 2-3 weeks and didn't like it so she switched back into a bound notebook
thank you for making this video! you gave me some really goog ideas!
Hi! I make bullet journal videos too. I was just wondering how you get your phone to be above your workspace... I love your videos (I've mentioned you in a couple of mine)
I use a gooseneck phone clip that attaches to the shelf on my desk :)
I'm interested in starting a bullet journal for my sporting team as my managers book. Do you have any idea on how to set it up.
like most the mood mandala page I think of making one on my journal
