The Bullet Journal Method

Bullet Journaling has recently been the “new hotness” and with that comes a multitude of remixes, recaps, and spin-offs. I really appreciated this view into the “WHY”s of bullet journaling, more than the “How”.

That isn't to say that the book is not an excellent primer/tutorial on setting up a BuJo, but, for me, the gold in this book comes with the reminders why bullet journaling could work for you as a system, reminders about the modular nature of the system, including the welcome reminder that art and creative inking can be considered a module.

My bullet journal is simple - the pen color I am using that day (frequently black, blue, or the occasional blue/black) and a “wall of text” ... and I liked the reminder that this approach is as legitimate as the pinterest/tumblr driven layouts that are gorgeous, but that i have neither the time nor inclination to implement.

Like any productivity book, this may or may not fit into your life and mindset, but if you find yourself pulled toward analog solutions, I highly recommend this book for its thoughtful look at why analog is still a viable option today.
