Eek! The live chat and comments are seperate. Oh well, Kudos to you Jeremy as a super early adopter! I liken BuJo's benefits to Miyagi's "chore training" - rewriting focusses on bite sized concepts and slows you down to cement concepts all while editing and refining.
This is absolutely fascinating and thank you for explaining it to us. I still am confused about the set-up in terms of the number of pages you leave for index and other things. Also, wehre do you journal and set intentions ? I am a bit confused. There is nothing I hate more than running out of space in my notebooks and having to continue a section separated from the rest, if this makes sense. I have a notebook of tod-do lists that I write every day, in pencil (!) but rI really like the collections pages that you have. I guess I have to try it first before committing to a brand new system.
You don't have to worry about "leaving space" - you just use the Index to write down the page number where you did something. So if you write about a project on Page 14, you'd write down the name of that project in the index and leave a line or two below it if oyu think you'll be writing about it a lot - and then you'd write in 14 for page 14. Say you write about it again on page 38, then you'd write 38 in the index. You can journal an set intentions anywhere you want. You make it your own. Just use the index to be able to help you find stuff later. Does that make sense?
I'm in awe of your journal! You've got a lot more info in yours than I do. I do have a suggestion for a pared-down version that some folks might like. I print a monthly calendar on an 81/2 x 11 sheet. The calendar takes up a little less than 3/4 of the page. It's all numbered, has Canadian holidays etc. The squares are large enough to make notes of whatever is important for me. I put appointments in there, birthdays, anniversaries, bill amounts, due dates, blood pressure readings, pain levels and so on. On the bottom 1/4 I record the date, amount, and payment reference number when I pay bills along with other info that I should comment on. I keep them clipped together so I can easily look back or enter appointments that are 2 months or more down the road. If I need more room I use the back of my page. If I were to use a bound journal I would turn it to use it on a landscape page. The first page would be the calendar and the second page would be for any other entries that I want to record. That would leave the next two pages for any other info you want to record. The next calendar page would be page 5 and so on. I don't think my layouts would have enough room for all you are recording but it does work for me. The older I get it seems I remember less and less and I can see on 1 page the info I need to remember. A bonus for me is that when it's income tax time I've got all my medical and related travel on my calendar. Anyway.... just my system. Keep on with the great videos.
This would be the perfect system if I actually would utilize it - I have so many pads, notes, scapes of paper with info I want to remember only to misplace or not remember what I was trying to note.yikes!
What brings me joy? Finding a PB with J on my TH-cam list to watch at night!!! Jeremy, I got hooked on bullet journaling at the end of 2019. I am an artist and dreamed of all the ways to incorporate that into my spreads. 2020 became the year that nobody needed a calendar. I kept it up for a while anyway because it was fun to highlight a famous artist each month and keep track of recipes I was trying out. As a retired art teacher, there was nothing more exciting than a brand new planner. I loved the premise and the design opportunities. BUT… following some of the bujo people online was crazy. People were tracking dopey things like how many times a week they did the dishes. Huh? When there are dishes in the sink, either wash them, or invite Willie (Woolie?) over to wash them! A silly thing to track. I gave up sometime around June of that scary year, but man, was that a beautiful book! Maybe you’ve convinced me to make a go of it again. Thanks, Jeremy!
OMG I already stressed out trying to get my head around. I am so disorganized and forgetful,and easily distracted. Mmmm must re-watch 😄 Thanks Jeremy something to think about.
I enjoyed learning 😊I have been a list person my whole life. A very simplistic list person 😂 this way is a bit overwhelming to me but I really like how it looks. I track work stuff on my work computer and I use my notes section on my phone or physical post it for personal stuff unless I’m going in a trip, then it’s a big sheet of paper 😂😂 I love your channel so please keep the videos coming ‼️
I’m a lapsed BUJO user. I think you explained it well, focused on utility, and touched on how it can be(but doesn’t HAVE TO be) creative. Maybe a little fast-paced for a first exposure but a viewer can absolutely rewatch.
Look at you and your bullet journal! Good on you, Jer! I have watched a lot of videos on this subject and your has made the most sense to me. Thanks so much for sharing!
Omgosh I absolutely love this video! You have inspired me and maybe this time my calendar will work 😓 I always fall off the wagon with writing, or keeping up with the planner.. I will definitely try this.. thank you!!🙏🏼🙏🏼 and yes ! Would love to see more videos about things you like, hobbies, tips to stay on track 🤗🙌🏼
When I did use my bujo, I would keep all my calendars and to-do lists or project stuff in the front, then flip my notebook to the back, turn it upside down and do my collections that were nice to have, but not necessary to my daily functioning. I need to get back to my bujo...
I love this and would love even more in depth. Some of the things in this are aspects that I really like about the planner that I buy, like the forward/check symbols for signifying completion or moving to the next day. I am fascinated by the idea of making one, but it seems a bit overwhelming and like I would not leave enough space for things. 😬😆 Thank you for this!
The beauty is, you don’t have to leave space for things because you can use the index to let you know where those things are. You can put things on any page you want and you don’t have to have things be continuous. Just use the index to organize it.
I don’t ever say this to a married man, but I just couldn’t love ya more right now! (Sorry Woolie. I’m in KC, so I’m a long way away.) I’m an avid planner person and incorporate many trackers into my plannner. I thought this was helpful to see what trackers you used in your weight loss journey. 💗
OMG - I had no idea that what I've been doing had a name! Now I know about BuJo, I think it's going to get a lot more elaborate... Thanks for this, Jeremy; it was such fun watching you get so enthused about a notebook and some coloured pens! (The dotty Moleskin is my favourite notebook too - so classy).
Wow, I have never heard of this system before. I am a list maker bc it makes me feel organized and to remember things. I also use a regular analog calendar for appointments, etc. I am intrigued by this and I can see how helpful this could be. I may try it in a minimalistic way so I can see things clearly. What can I say, I’m getting old, lol! Do you carry it around with you and take it with you when you go out so you don’t forget anything that comes to mind?
Loved the video, but found it a bit fast paced for someone completely new to journalling. I keep rerunning it to get the details. I was hoping you would also generate an Article for your website as I am better at reading and absorbing than watching videos. Reading allows me to go at my own pace.
Thank you for this BUJO video. You're so organized! I'd love to hear how you maintain your weight loss on the WFPB. I know you don't eat oils, etc. Is it difficult to maintain or does it come easily because you're such a healthy eater?
I have carried a notebook around with me for as long as I can remember and with kind of a similar principle-I make a list everyday and cross things off as they get done (so satisfying!! ) and carry over anything that wasn’t done. I also make lists of recipes I want to make, movies and shows and books I’m interested in, etc. I’ve never heard of bullet journaling until watching your video, but I think I’m going to try it! 🤓 My notebooks are so messy and this is much nicer-I’ll have to try to be tidier. 😅
Nicely done. I got caught up in the TUL and Happy Planners. I am not sure I like the rings especially as the planner gets fuller. I have been toying with using the bullet system. It seems the best thing about the system for starters would be the ability to lay out your own style and color and coordinate it with your own real life. With many of the preplanned pages I have gathered, I find I waste a lot of the pages - either the whole page or just only use part of it. Thank you for the encouragement and motivation. I found a lot of stress releasing facts in your video. Great job!
This is something that I really need to do! I am a list maker, problem is, its a single half sheet of paper...then I'll misplace it ugh... Thanks Jeremy, I'm going to give this a try, I'm thinking of so many things I'll be about to track in one book!
Loved this episode! Would love to see some of the must reads/watch on your lists. I started the IF nothing else, I will do this one thing list. It makes me feel a lot better by the end of the week. I added the expectations for the day you mentioned. It’s so easy to be a grumbler instead of sharing positive energy. 😎
✋🏻hello Jeremy! Thank you so much for sharing Bullet Journaling! I have to have lists, my lists have lists, my tasks have to broken down, this will help me a lot. Great job explaining. I loved this video.
Appreciate this review of the BuJo and how you make it work. I used to use one. It was incredibly helpful during the year that we did some remodeling on our house, sold it, and bought another. I had different sections for each project/move - it really impressed our Realtor, banker and contractor! It's also great for planning trips. I'm tempted to start one after seeing your video. I like the way you do your weeklies and monthlies. Much simpler than my set up. Thanks!
For me and my brain it's the ONLY way I can function without high anxiety - so glad you make it work too for your stuff. It took me a LONG time and lots of playing with various different ways before coming to my current weekly/monthly so feel free to steal and adapt!!
@@pbwithjeremy Thank you! I'll probably try one again. I do love the idea of a bujo - I've just gone a little overboard before, and couldn't keep it up lol.
This is great, thank you! My 9 yo daughter and I started habit tracking recently and included things we want to learn this year, she is learning piano and French (with an app) and I am learning Spanish, but we don’t bullet journal. I shared this with her and she is super excited to start!
@@pbwithjeremy how did you use the journaling on your weight loss journey? Did you use it to keep you accountable? Or as a reminder? Or do you use it for life in general and your health journey wasn’t part of the journaling?
Haha I just watched this and as I just retired on June 30/23..keep telling my daughter I need a plan for everyday...well this would do it, now to figure out my priorities everyday and get a bujo set up! OH crap my brain has to get around this too! lmao...adhd doen't help. Thanks Budd!
Thank you for your inspirational videos. I am trying so hard to be healthy and healthy weight. I am trying to change over to plant based. Keep up the honest opinions and encouragement.
I'm so glad you made this video. I started to BuJo when I was in grad school. I was broke and needed a way to keep track of money, kids, work, school and health. It was a lot and I couldn't afford a big fancy planner. I have used it on and off over the years. I'd love to see a video on how you used your BuJo to track your weight loss journey. What did you track besides your weight? As always I love your content! oh and there is nothing I love more than new stationery!!
Jeremy, thank you for this video! I think this is just what I need. I have so many lists in my phone and I love the idea of putting it on paper. I like paper over digital. Your journal is so beautiful with all the colors, images and nice handwriting. I can't believe it took a non food video to finally comment on how much I enjoy your channel. I've been watching you since your interview with Ami. I've put Ryder Carroll's book on reserve at the library. Thank you!
I am a therapist with many clients who use bullet jourmaling and never actually knew what it is! Thanks for this great intro! This appeals to my artistic side and I want to try it!
I’ve lost the same weight more times than I can count. I would love a video on how you maintain your weight loss Jeremy.
Coming VERY soon

Love all the information you've shared here - thank you!!!! Wow - you've got a SYSTEM!
Would love for you to do your weight loss journey update. How you started , kept going up to current successes and failures. Beth
Coming in a few weeks!
I am a minimalist bullet journaler. Admittedly some folks use it for their artistic expression. Me? Not so much.
Same, for the most part :)
This would be the perfect system if I actually would utilize it - I have so many pads, notes, scapes of paper with info I want to remember only to misplace or not remember what I was trying to note.yikes!

Sorry it's too fast. I will try to put an article up of some of these videos! Only so many hours in the day...
So is it like a homemade Agenda book? I do this (to a point) but I use an Agenda
It is - it's just more custom and flexible, IMO
