At the end you just said the right thing: sometimes the tool you use restricts your imagination, because it is connected with specific things in your mind. The Leuchtturm is used by so many elaborated Bullet Journalists, that you had the feeling not doing enough with it to be a real BuJo! But with the Stalogy there are not so many role models so your mind was free to create what you really needed. Sometimes I think I’m blessed that I started bullet journaling at a time where we discussed which signifieres to use instead of which theme to use for the next monthly title page! Not that I don’t love the creative part in BulletJournals, but so many people are intimidated to start now! And even if you explain and show them simple versions, the elaborated are always on their mind, because they are so beautiful! 😧
Lorelei Lee yes!!! You totally hit the nail on the head! Obviously they are both two blank books but I found it hilarious how just switching my tool let me use it so much differently, and in a way that works so much better for me! I think the exact same thing I hear that so many people don’t even want to start a bujo because they are intimidated or they feel they need to make elaborate spreads which is not the case at all. The bujo method was designed in my opinion to be a guideline in organizing all of the possibilities that can go into a blank notebook!
Right on! That's why I don't watch video tutorials of pretty templates, with washy tapes or highlighters because I never felt like it helped me be more productive in all my projects. Those kinda videos make me overwhelmed and only motivate me to become an artist. Nowadays what would catch my eye more are the ugly and complicated looking ones, because it makes me wonder how something like that can be so useful in my life. So in the end, I created my "upgraded" style of the bujo and strayed slightly in certain aspects like the size of the journal. Everyone uses big ones for jotting while at the same time use a smaller one for easy carrying (field notes). I just standardize 1 small notebook at a time, one I can fit in my pocket because it's more practical to bring around and be consistent. Once the pages are finished, I just open a fresh notebook. No need to come back home juggling between 2-3 notebooks just to synchronize logs and trackers. If I need more space for something, I just use both pages. If ink bleeds through, no problem, just skip that page and write on a clearer one. The main thing is, don't follow a system just because it works for 99.999999% of people. Follow it because it works for you alone. Or create your own system that works for none but you. I spend less time looking on my phone this way.
I believe you are actually using the Bullet Journal system, but in a Stalogy notebook vs the Leuchtturm notebook. It’s great you found how to make the system work for you. It’s amazing how the notebook/ paper / size does make a huge difference. I particularly don’t like the Leuchtturm, but enjoyed the Bullet Journal system in a cheapie notebook. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Sharon N exactly! At first I thought I was using something totally different but when I stepped back and looked at it I was using the bujo method the whole time just in a more productive way for me than before! This time I had no preconceived notions about how it “should” be. Thanks for watching 💕
I def. think you're still bullet journaling; you've just learned to adapt the system to make it work for you! And that's how it should be. I think it's good to start off following the "rules" to really learn what works for you and what doesn't. Often things you thought were pointless make more sense when you use them, and other things that you liked don't become useful at all. But once you've done it for a while, you keep what works, drop what doesn't, and come up with your own twists, too. And yes, finding the right size for yourself is key! Enjoyed this video! Thanks!
thedivinefemme thank you! And yes totally and it’s funny how all of those things just become instinctual after a while. It’s crazy to think how changing the book changes your whole perspective!
You’re not alone! I got an A5 Stalogy to just journal in and I’ve fallen in love with the paper, soft cover and the flexible cover. I’m still bullet journaling in an A5 STM but once that’s done I’m jumping notebooks to try a hybrid Bullet Journal.
Vy Tran isn’t the paper amazing!! And I heard the STM’s are so nice I have never seen one in person tho. What book are you going to use for your hybrid?
@@KristaMuyters Yes the paper is lovely! I love how smooth it feels, I like how the pages are white too! I managed to grab an A5 STM Grid, but it doesn't look like they make them anymore. I just got a B6 yesterday, to see if I would like a smaller notebook, I REALLY like it, but I'm torn! A5 is my first love, but I think I might get a colored A5, maybe light blue?
Vy Tran I’m sure that will be beautiful! Downsizing a touch from the a5 just made the pages a bit more manageable to fill. They are pretty similar tho I’m sure you can’t go wrong either way!
I like the way that your stalogy is set up, i think its really cute and it seems super productive and even MORE produce than your original bujo. Sometimes the structure of a bujo and how daunting other bujo artists can be on insta and pinterest makes it hard to bujo specifically...if that makes sense. Youve found your own jam so stick with it!!
thecreepz thank you!! And I Totally agree I feel like it’s actually helping me through my day much better. And yes it’s super hard to not feel like their are certain rules or guidelines you should be following with so many planners making beautiful spreads.
You know, diaries and journals and commonplace books were around before Ryder Carroll came up with the Bullet Journal (which worked for HIM). Not to minimize the importance of the concept of the Bullet Journal by any means... I've been keeping one since late 2016. But when you look beyond the book he wrote and what everyone does with their own Bullet Journal or diary or journal or commonplace book, if you're not having fun, what's the point? So now you know what brings you joy in your writing. Keep that up! Stay in that bliss, that joy, and you will love your note taking, documenting, scrapbooking, note writing, planning, or whatever it is you must do! Enjoy!
I used a Stalogy. At best it was "meh". Not a lover of the paper nor do I care for a journal with so many pages. However for me the Stalogy is just a blank book. Like any blank book it has its idiosyncratic features but at the end of the day, it's just paper. If you don't mind my saying it, it appears that you just transferred your bullet journal from an LT17 to a Stalogy. I use my Bullet Journal for everything: art, longform journaling, lists, tasks, appointments...it all goes into my Bullet Journal. I use different sizes, different manufactures, etc., but my system remains the same.
Evangeline Brown you are totally right and that’s the point I was trying to make, switching the tool to something that I didn’t connect in my mind with a specific “method” allowed me to actually use the bujo system in a way that worked better for me. And I am now happily incorporating all of the wonderful things like journaling, quotes and other random notes that I felt I guess I shouldn’t before. I’m glad I realized it was all in my own head so yes in the future I can be in any book! Thanks for watching 💕
I'm using a B6 Stalogy for everything. Since about April 7th I decided to use only my Stalogy. This is my third B6 and I also have an A6. I used them for different things but this one I'm using now is the first time I'm using how I am. It's not strictly a bullet journal. It has some bujo things, but it's also a creative journal, commonplace notebook, planner etc. It's everything. I love it. I love to watercolor so the paper is perfect. I love not having the pressure of using more than one thing. I've used just about everything so I was burnt out.
Leaundra Ross I totally get it! That’s why I’m so in love with my stalogy as well. I’ve never felt so free in a book before as corny as that sounds haha. And the size is awesome for me it’s the perfect in-between!! 💕
It's funny how once you find a planner system that works, your life has somehow been changed. For me, it was the hobonichi weeks--thanks to you!! For me, I loved bullet journaling last year and found it fun and easy---but I also didn't follow rules. I just did what I wanted. I primarily stuck with it to track my anxiety and sleep, but once I got my fitbit, I stopped tracking my sleep, and thus my planning system changed. I originally started with the Happy Planner, and again, loved it until I didn't need that much bulk---Traveler's Notebooks were the same---I love journaling in TNs, but as a planner, too much to carry. Then came the weeks, and WOW! I'm not a decorative planner---I save my supplies for my journaling, so the weeks was perfect---I had months to refer to, weeks and then notes. That's all I needed and it was so much more portable! I adore my Leuchtruum 1917, but as a journal. I'm so upset they have discontinued my favorite one---white cover in A5/dot grid. If I had known they were going to discontinue it, I'd have bought out the store! I find journaling in the leuctrum is great because I can use watercolor, and my TN's are for memory keeping, and my Weeks is for planning/work etc. The best thing is you found a system that works!! And you helped ME find a system that works, so you shared!! And we are now friends too which is the best! Great video :)
Darkhorse3211 thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! It is awesome when you find something that just feels right! The weeks is such a great layout which is probably why I keep recreating it 😆 I’m so glad you have a system that works better for you! And yes planner friends are the best friends 😋👯♀️
That's the great thing about the bullet journal method, you can customize it following your needs using the notebook of your choice. That's what you've done in the stalogy.
This is so inspiring to me. I gave up on a Bullet Journal, because I really wanted a page per day, so I got a Hobonichi Cousin. Now I find I'm not really filling up the whole page every day. I have an unused B6 and an A6 Stalogy, too. I think you inspired me to give the B6 a go. It will probably be the perfect size, and I can be as creative as I want in it, too. Thank you for your video.
Kathy Adams I’m so happy to hear that thank you! And yes the hobo cousin is tough to fill, the size is bigger and the squares are smaller 😆 please let me know how it works out I would love to see!! ❤️❤️
I feel you girl sometimes bujo’s are just too much, it’s really nice knowing there’s a page for everyday of the year and if I put multiple days on one page, I get another one for collections
Yes! I loved the idea of a billet journal but just couldn’t make it work. My Stalogy is perfect. So much better. I do enjoy the dot grid as well as the grid so I am considering trying the Tekukor b6 some day.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I don’t get why some people get confused between free journaling or daily diary keeping. Journaling should be fun so do what works for you!
I agreee. i think you just needed the right size notebook for you with regards to a bujo. There is no rules that says it has to be an A5 notebook. You were given a framework with the bujo methood for you to tweak as you need. It is amazing what some perspective can provide. Nice video.
IT sounded like you were overwhelmed in the bigger size. I have an A6 stalogy for edc. I do a page per day. At the end of the night I transfer any information I need into my A5.
Mary Bonin yes! Downsizing to the b6 definitely helped and I love being able to focus on each day separately using a page per day. I also have an a6 for work and I love it! Such a cute size! 🥰
Love this so much! And love yozr stalogy 😍 I just got my first stalogy 365 in B6 size and since I have my hobonichi weeks as a planner and MD b6slim as a bujo/notes I think I will start using stalogy for my work and my own projects. And I already know that in the time it will probably take over my bujo hahah love how you did almost the same thing but somehow stalogy inspired you and you reached the "planner peace" 🙌
Marija Lelas thank you! And That’s awesome, yes my stalogy also crept in and took over a bit but I love it! And it’s so funny that it turned out that way also I never intended it to be a bujo but it totally became one haha good luck with yours! 💕
Mermaids & Lace yes. I'm new to journaling & bullet journals though I've been writing in notebooks over 40 years. I think you basically just want your own method & new book was what you liked.i was referred to Caroll videos for bullet journaling and his style is not for me. I use my phone for appointments etc & truly wanted to journal. I recommend Helen Colebrook & so many others for creativity which you seem to seek. You may have just needed a clean slate.
Great video. I have been using hobonichi a6 techo s , I started seeing videos on stalogy s and how it had almost 400 pages . So I go and order it because who doesn’t want that many pages ? Well, today I realized my Hobos have over 400 pages 😳🤯
I am trying to determine for myself what is the difference btwn stalogy and bullet journaling. I have bullet journaled for years and stalogy seems to be the same thing making a book anything you want to capture. So I am interested in what the main differences are?
I think my point in this video was more about how hung up I was on what a bullet Journal was supposed to look like in my mind. My stalogy allowed me the freedom to really use a book how it best fit my life. One thing that helped me tremendously was writing literally everything that crossed my mind down. I can asses if it’s important later. And the b6 size allowed me to use a day per page really easily and then once it was done I can turn the page to the next day. I didn’t have to see the entire week in front of me all the time. Hope this helped a bit :) 💕
Andrea Ann oh awesome! I’ll give you the dimensions if it helps! The left side of the page is 31 boxes tall and 18 wide and each cube is 6x6 and one box at the top for the day of the week. The right side of the page is 23 boxes wide by 31 boxes tall and each cube is 6x6 except for Sunday which is 6 tall by 5 wide. I hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have any questions :) you can also see some closer pics on my Instagram or I can send you photos
You are essentially bullet journaling in the b6 now. For some reason you have felt more free to do what works for you in the b6 which is what Ryder Carroll has always encouraged. Doesn’t matter what you call it. I think of it as freestyle planning.
I understand the comfort of dedicating an entire page to one day and a B6 is so nice for that. Sometimes in an A5 I feel guilty for using a whole page for one day, kinda silly I know 😆. When I was in an A5 doing the traditional Bujo method I found that it was really hard for me to go back and find days because sometimes I'd have 2-3 on one page and I don't want to index everything. Also the page flag idea is great! Love your videos so much! *Ok done editing, maybe.... 🤣
Andrea Ann I get it! I never even considered using a day per page in the a5 just too big for me I guess! And I agree I was losing things in that book and also I was overwhelmed always looking at all of the other days at once! And thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy them ❤️❤️
Seems as though your Stalogy is your bullet journal. Every time I have heard Ryder Carroll talk about how he developed the bullet journal method, he specifically says that everyone should adapt and change to what works for them. So by changing the physical book you were able to create a successful bujo. I don't see the problem.... Or why you think that not using Ryder's personal tactics means the bullet journal did not work for you. Use what works and release the angst! Enjoy that you have a system and physical book that works for you! Cheers!
Eugenia Moreno yes your totally right! And I don’t know why I felt stressed about using it a certain way either! It was funny how switching the book and making small adaptions changed the entire concept for me! His method is great and it’s important for me to keep in mind that it works best when adapted to fit my needs 💕 thanks for watching!!
Adrienne Gonzales thanks for the input i listened back and I couldn’t hear it? I recorded on my phone tho I’ll try listening on the computer later and see if it’s something I can fix. Sorry about that!
Adrienne Gonzales omg you know what I think that is! There was construction going on outside my bedroom window when I was filming I honestly wasn’t paying attention at the time to it! I’m sorry again it was distracting 🤦♀️
Perhaps a better title would be "My new favorite brand of Bullet Journal". Perhaps a little more credit is due Ryder Carroll who invented the BuJo system that you are using as the basis of your journaling.
At the end you just said the right thing: sometimes the tool you use restricts your imagination, because it is connected with specific things in your mind. The Leuchtturm is used by so many elaborated Bullet Journalists, that you had the feeling not doing enough with it to be a real BuJo!

Sometimes I think I’m blessed that I started bullet journaling at a time where we discussed which signifieres to use instead of which theme to use for the next monthly title page! Not that I don’t love the creative part in BulletJournals, but so many people are intimidated to start now! And even if you explain and show them simple versions, the elaborated are always on their mind, because they are so beautiful! 😧

I make my a5 cover and inserts myself, also my TN inserts, and I buy my notebooks at ALIEXPRESS!!!Have a leather one for 8 dollars only! haha
I def. think you're still bullet journaling; you've just learned to adapt the system to make it work for you! And that's how it should be. I think it's good to start off following the "rules" to really learn what works for you and what doesn't.

Yes! I loved the idea of a billet journal but just couldn’t make it work. My Stalogy is perfect. So much better. I do enjoy the dot grid as well as the grid so I am considering trying the Tekukor b6 some day.
I added it into my b6 TN and it’s working fantastic.
That would be the perfect compromise! 💕
Great video, thanks for sharing. I don’t get why some people get confused between free journaling or daily diary keeping. Journaling should be fun so do what works for you!
That’s totally true! All in my mind clearly 😆 thanks for watching 💕
I agreee. i think you just needed the right size notebook for you with regards to a bujo. There is no rules that says it has to be an A5 notebook. You were given a framework with the bujo methood for you to tweak as you need. It is amazing what some perspective can provide. Nice video.
Tracie E thank you! Ann’s absolutely it’s so funny how we can be bound by our own minds sometimes haha thanks for watching 💕
It’s like the Stalogy set you free! ☺️
Haha exactly!! 💕
IT sounded like you were overwhelmed in the bigger size. I have an A6 stalogy for edc. I do a page per day. At the end of the night I transfer any information I need into my A5.
Mary Bonin yes! Downsizing to the b6 definitely helped and I love being able to focus on each day separately using a page per day. I also have an a6 for work and I love it! Such a cute size! 🥰
So basically you bullet journal in a stalogy
Rocio Luna I guess so 🤷♀️ just took me a while to figure out 😆
Love this so much! And love yozr stalogy 😍 I just got my first stalogy 365 in B6 size and since I have my hobonichi weeks as a planner and MD b6slim as a bujo/notes I think I will start using stalogy for my work and my own projects.

Sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees. I love the way your audible reasoning appears. Listen...
That’s a great saying! And totally true! It was cool to step back and see how far I’ve come in making my planner the most usable for me :)
What cover are you using for your Stalogy? Thanks :)
Great video. I have been using hobonichi a6 techo s , I started seeing videos on stalogy s and how it had almost 400 pages . So I go and order it because who doesn’t want that many pages ? Well, today I realized my Hobos have over 400 pages 😳🤯

I didn’t have to see the entire week in front of me all the time. Hope this helped a bit :) 💕
@@KristaMuyters Yes thank you.
‘Stalogy’ is not a method it’s a brand so comparing the two is irrelevant. You can bullet journal in any *brand* of notebook
Can you please share how you draw out your monthly spread?
Andrea Ann sure would you like a video or the cubed dimensions?
@@KristaMuyters Both 😁 it's up to you. I would like to do this in my Bujo but I always end up messing things up.
Andrea Ann haha I know it stressed me out too I had to recount about 20 times 🙈 which book are you using?
@@KristaMuyters I'm going into my B6 stalogy.
Andrea Ann oh awesome! I’ll give you the dimensions if it helps! The left side of the page is 31 boxes tall and 18 wide and each cube is 6x6 and one box at the top for the day of the week. The right side of the page is 23 boxes wide by 31 boxes tall and each cube is 6x6 except for Sunday which is 6 tall by 5 wide. I hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have any questions :) you can also see some closer pics on my Instagram or I can send you photos
Love! Your videos are some of my favs.
Sierra Poulson thank you! Yours are mine as well! ❤️❤️
LOVE YOUR B6 Stalogy!!
Tiffany Liu thank you!! ❤️
You are essentially bullet journaling in the b6 now. For some reason you have felt more free to do what works for you in the b6 which is what Ryder Carroll has always encouraged. Doesn’t matter what you call it. I think of it as freestyle planning.
I understand the comfort of dedicating an entire page to one day and a B6 is so nice for that. Sometimes in an A5 I feel guilty for using a whole page for one day, kinda silly I know 😆. When I was in an A5 doing the traditional Bujo method I found that it was really hard for me to go back and find days because sometimes I'd have 2-3 on one page and I don't want to index everything.
Also the page flag idea is great!
Love your videos so much!
*Ok done editing, maybe.... 🤣
Andrea Ann I get it! I never even considered using a day per page in the a5 just too big for me I guess! And I agree I was losing things in that book and also I was overwhelmed always looking at all of the other days at once! And thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy them ❤️❤️
@@KristaMuyters Me too!! I love the idea of being able to focus on one day at a time.
Andrea Ann yes!! So much easier
Seems as though your Stalogy is your bullet journal. Every time I have heard Ryder Carroll talk about how he developed the bullet journal method, he specifically says that everyone should adapt and change to what works for them. So by changing the physical book you were able to create a successful bujo. I don't see the problem.... Or why you think that not using Ryder's personal tactics means the bullet journal did not work for you. Use what works and release the angst! Enjoy that you have a system and physical book that works for you! Cheers!
Eugenia Moreno yes your totally right! And I don’t know why I felt stressed about using it a certain way either! It was funny how switching the book and making small adaptions changed the entire concept for me! His method is great and it’s important for me to keep in mind that it works best when adapted to fit my needs 💕 thanks for watching!!
I wanted to listen but there is beeping on the recording that is distracting.
Adrienne Gonzales thanks for the input i listened back and I couldn’t hear it? I recorded on my phone tho I’ll try listening on the computer later and see if it’s something I can fix. Sorry about that!
Around 1:56 is a good example. It's relatively intermittent but enough to distract me.
Adrienne Gonzales omg you know what I think that is! There was construction going on outside my bedroom window when I was filming I honestly wasn’t paying attention at the time to it! I’m sorry again it was distracting 🤦♀️
No worries at all! Thanks for posting this lovely comparison!
Adrienne Gonzales no problem thanks for watching!! 💕
You are bullet journaling in the Stalogy. You could have done the exact thing in the other journal.
Bullet journaling can be difficult it you don’t have ADHD like Ryder.
Perhaps a better title would be "My new favorite brand of Bullet Journal". Perhaps a little more credit is due Ryder Carroll who invented the BuJo system that you are using as the basis of your journaling.
