Twitter summary: Learn why and how to bullet journal to “track the past, order the present and design the future.”
The good: I started bullet journaling in 2016, fell off the wagon sometime in late 2018 and kickstarted it at the beginning of the pandemic. It has become a daily practice to self-reflect, plan and manifest my days, goals and desires. I absolutely love it! This book has rekindled my intention behind why I bullet journal and has given me practical yet purposeful strategies to supplement my current practice. Carroll is a genius — this book is great for beginners with its excellent examples and is also a wonderful resource for users far along on their own bujo journey.
The bad: There is this “expectation” that sometimes arises in the bujo community about perfection or being artistic. I’m reminding myself that my journal is for me and not for anyone else. There are moments when I think “I can make this look beautiful” but then I easily lose motivation when the upkeep is too time consuming. Bullet journalling is only about me, my days, goals and desires, however it may look.
