Hi!, May I ask something?, how do You learn English? 😊
I’ve recently gone back to bullet journaling, because I’m tired of subscription plans trying to force me to rent access to my own information and calendars. So I’ve started bullet journaling again, and I am enjoying it a lot more!
A 2 notebook bullet journal type system has been a game changer. My pocket setup is my daily log and task list and my main journal is my monthly master list, goal tracker and collections of ideas/books to read/ etc.
Yes that what I actually do right now . Use 2 notebooks and change your life forever
I've used a 3"x5" top bound spiral notepad in a leather notebook/memo book cover that I purchased in the 1980's when I was a police officer. I've carried this type of notebook ever since. I take it everywhere I go. It fits in my back pocket. It costs extra, but I started using Rite-in-the-Rain (#135) products and have been very pleased. Pencil is my first choice. I'm 67 and enjoying your videos.
Hot Fuzz 😊 ✏️ 🗒️
Two sides to every page which is super useful 😂 your sense of humour though 🎉
Love it. Wish I could get these in Japan. That pen slipping right in the top spirals is too satisfying.
I am also using pocket journal since the beginning of this year and I got inspired by my dad who often use it to write his expenditure and important stuff throughout the day.
Right there with you. I’ve been turning away from my phone more this past year. There def is a satisfaction and ease with the analog method. It’s keep my face out of the screen more.
Oh my God, Hot Fuzz is also my fave movie. And you are so right, the way he explained the importance of his notebook really got me into journaling..!
used your template for the monthly planner for january and really loved it! it was so simplistic and to the point. thank you so much
Where can I find it pls thank you
Its videos like this one and the life tracker video one that have just simplified my journalling practices...Thank you so much
The closest thing I've had was a vocabulary notebook where I just wrote down new words every day and dated it like you did. But I got distracted and stopped. I'm curious enough to try this.
I will just list all the hot actors I've seen, how about that?
Fantastic video, I'm going to try to implement it in my life too
Thank you for the suggestions. I’ve used your links to order.
thank you so much!
I appreciate your content because I’ve been looking for the perfect notebook and pen combo for quite some time; and like you I’ve been unhappy with side bound notebooks
Bro this is the most useful yt video that i have seen since last year
Just found your video and enjoyed it! TFS! 🤗
It's really nice and i will implement today itself and thanks for the video 😊
glad you found it valuable!
@@reysu I had tried it I only make use of front page not back page and I complete some tasks only and is it because my goals is too big?
Watching on my phone a video that shows the benefits of not using my phone.
Got it!
Thank you. I am trying this too
Thank God. I thought I was the only one that got put off by the complexity of the digital note apps; I tried forcing myself to do it but it just doesn't work. Thank you for the note taking system.
Hey Reysu, I see that you have great videomaking skills! Just a tip to consider is making sure to give to viewer something to look forward to in the video. In this video for example you could say that you will tell the viewer about a certain time when this came in extremly useful or something similar.
that's a great tip thanks for your feedback
@@reysu Reysu ur super cool for humbly and kindly taking in feedback / tips the way you did here. That curious humility is a rare and amazing trait that is rare to find on the internet these days, thank you for sharing it with us all!
Great video
Can't believe you invented chatgpt
2:00 "there are two sides to every page, which is super useful" wow such a cool feature of paper
isn't that amazing
this seems way more practical and realistic... i dont know why every bullet journal video has to be "who can write down pointless things more than me". I need something to just capture these to dos, reminders, thoughs, etc and keep it moving.
I love that they made a pencil for it. 😀
Hotel California is one of my favourite songs too. Wow, you can also play a musical instrument, guitar I suppose. It's pretty cool.
I love that song so much!!
@@reysu That's really nice to know!
fellow creator here. been trying to adapt to something similar, especially because i'm juggling work, content, and uni all at the same time, and the blowup of pings and so forth has been so exhausting. loved your thoughts on this.
Friend, you concern me with your work schedule. Can you try to reduce some? Just so you don't burn out, speaking from experience. I don't want people to burnout, I think there's more to life than work. Of course your philosophy might be different. I think that much work isn't necessary, just a certain amount of work is enough for people to live a happy life. May you find ways to be more peaceful I guess, sending you much love.
Hey there! Great video. What pen were you using in the very beginning of the video? I've noticed you using it in a bunch of different videos as well.
Parabéns! Pelo vídeo, passei a me organizar depois que eu comecei a usar uma caderneta de anotações, herança dos meus ensinamentos passados.
I use a similar system but I use an top bound A6 discbound notebook. The pages are repositionable, disposable and refillable. I can punch different types of pages, even printables, pockets and tabs. I use small discs so it takes the same space as a traditional top bound notebook.
I found it hard to worl with traditional notebooks because I would have disposable notes mixed in with important ones I wanted to archive, and in the end would run out of space and have to choose between transferring the information from my old notebook or just giving up with it.
@@tuomi1154 Same here, I always use some kind of notebook, but I struggle to organize them, when inevitably ends up being a mix of doodles and disposable todos, with important info I need to keep and remember or reference later. Can I ask you, which discbound notebook you use?
@@Bedeoz I just bought some cheap rings from Amazon and a craftelier punch. I made the covers, dividers and pockets myself. Then I punched some grid paper for it. Since I live in Europe and A4 paper is commonly used on printers it is easy to print A6 sized planner inserts etc.
Great Video Reysu!
Do you edit them yourself?
I don't always edit them! This one was edited by my godly editor ken :)) I did the previous 4 or so myself
Great video thx 🔥
Appreciate it
Great thumbnail!
What brand is this pocket journal from Japan? 2:36 have been looking for something similar
I like it very much that you showed a sort of a system for using pocket notes. That helps with not feeling overwhelmed by its potential messiness.
thanks for watching 🤝
Sold!
You are wrong about one thing: In retrospect, the ordinary day to day stuff is one of the most interesting things you can record. It's a window into your life and not a beautified version of it.
Greetings from Austria :)
Thanks for the video, I'm going to give this method a go and see how it works for me. With the spiral bound Field Notes notebook, do you find that it leaves little bits of paper in the coil when you tear off a page?
not really
I do that on all the back of printed receipts , save paper ;)
Don’t print receipts ;)
How do you time block? If you do.
What type of pen did you use?
I have just started making notes algebraic chess notations in my pocket notebook then I can go over my mistakes
I use Notion every day as a second brain, but I am looking into spending less time looking at a screen. Love the idea of using a little jotter for all the ideas that come into my head - I could then transfer the best ones onto Notion to keep it clean and organised. Thanks for the video!
That's a great idea!
Dunno why, feel like i'm trecking with you man. I use Obsidian as a PKM and apple notes but maybe this is better.
How do you set reminders of important events in the analogic way ? With the pocket journal or with a regular journal?
then I use my digital calendar lol
analogy isn't great for things that change around and things that might depend on other people (i.e. project management and events)
I use a simple digital productivity system for project management
Could you show your digital system in a video? :)
@@reysu I use Workflowy for that. Would be nice to see, what system do you use. What about Daily Journaling? Do you you use pocket notebook for that as well? In my case, the notebook ist full after 3 weeks. ;-)
May I ask whats the gel pen you use?
Going to post a video sharing some of my favorite pens
It's energel btw
Are you still using the phone setup from your other video?
yep
Nice video! I’ve carried notebooks and lists with me since I learned to write 😂 my autistic brain needs structure.
Sounds like when I was growing up in the 90’s 😂
What else did you like to do
have you ever try to plan you day hour by hour
Yeah, would you like me to make a video about this?
@@reysu this is how I plan my day, hour by hour cause I don’t like don’t know what I need to do currently in my day. What system do you use right now ? For planing your day ?
Mention Hot Fuzz and you get the upvote. :D
Let's go!!
Reysu McKinnon 🔥
😂
What's your mbti? You strike me as a software engineer haha. I have to learn more about consulting companies.
entj
i did study cs in college ahaha
@@reysu Oh I didn't guess you'd be an entj! This is for the first time someone replied entj when I asked their mbti, pretty cool. It's so nice you studied CS in college, so my perception wasn't all that far away hahaha. You're very meticulous, and your videos! They're organized beyond my level of perception haha.
What habit tracker are you using in your dumb phone video?
To use that handwriting on that notebook :'[
I like my handwriting
I'm going to follow you for know but as soon as you sell out I will unfollow. Every self help TH-camr has gotten worse over time
Sounds good 🤝
You inspired me
