a picture I took of my Bullet Journaling

According to Ryder Carroll, Bullet Journal is a method/productive system that helps us accomplish more by identifying and focusing on what is meaningful and what should be stripped away.

Before bullet journaling, I struggled to find a simple yet helpful system for my day-to-day tasks. I often switch different types of platforms to note down from my to-do list, from Notion to Todoist and back to Notion. I lost track of things as time went by. Later on, I discovered the bullet-journal method at the suggestion of my online friend. After giving it a try, I am amazed by how this method has helped me with daily and monthly tasks. That is why I write this post with the aim to share my own experience with bullet journaling.

Pros of Using Bullet Journaling

The system is quite simple like a daily task in mobile games: As a starter, I use the basic style of the system. Its simple style is easy for me to track my to-do list and implement small challenges each day like games I used to play on mobile phones. This has brought interest and motivation toward accomplishing goals every day. I can see myself moving forward big goal I planned for myself in the long term.
The system works well with the vision broad of each year: Vision Broad is where I planned my goals and what I manifest for myself each year, and I have just adopted this idea recently from a suggestion of my online friend. However, I just discovered that the combination of Vision Broad and Bullet Journaling can help us a lot in how we spend our two most valuable resources in life, which are our time and energy.

Cons of Using Bullet Journaling

The use of a physical notebook for Bullet Journaling: ordinary disadvantages of a physical notebook such as being heavy to carry every day, cannot access every time at any place, etc.

I believe that is all of the comments I have after using bullet journaling. This system might not work for everyone yet I would still suggest my friends and people I know to try this method. There are so many styles of the system that everyone can try according to their needs. I hope this post can encourage those who read to discover and try the system just like I do.
