A Beginners Bullet Journal Set Up | How To Use The Bullet Journal Method In Any Notebook

[@jacquesdespadas]

I think this is the first time have both subscribed to a KZbin channel and followed an IG account from the same creator all at one time. Excellent content delivered with clarity. Well done, sir!

[@markyourpages]

Thanks for the support John!

[@Jarius4107]

Finally after I've watched 25 KZbin videos "For Beginners" someone who actually explains how a BUJO is set up! Thank you!

[@markyourpages]

So glad we found one another

[@ezequielreyes213]

Tell me about it, majority were just covering the material they used rather than the actually set up.

[@markyourpages]

Yeah, that’s a fun part too… but not when you are learning.

[@hekeepsblessingme1312]

Yes! me too! I was about to give up!

[@Affenzunge]

Dünne thing to say when the first hit you get after typing in bullet journal is a video by the creator himself who comes to the point much faster. Just came here because he writes on lined paper

[@barneyy6942]

This is so good, especially for ADHD and Autistic folks who struggle with all the frills that comes with journalling. This helped me.

[@markyourpages]

That’s awesome to hear! Keeping it simple can really help reduce any extra anxiety

[@idaumphers101]

Excellent presentation of the method that is blessedly free of all the decoration and "extras". Thank you.

[@markyourpages]

Absolutely - glad you liked it. It’s a strong foundation to start from.

[@nisebiggs6572]

I get such a complex because I can't draw a straight line.

[@elizabethruby-cunningham6028]

I know this was done a while ago, but your content is still relavent. I used to bullet journal but fell off the wagon. 2025 is the year for me to get back on the horse. Thank you for using a lined notebook as that is what I use. Thank you for also getting to the point and showing how to set up the journal. Appreciate that.

[@markyourpages]

@@elizabethruby-cunningham6028 excited for you to set up a new journal in the new year. That’s amazing.

[@polly2900]

Great idea to put the KEY on a sticky note.

[@markyourpages]

Thank you. Early on it was so helpful for me as I was learning.

[@mariaa.87]

Finally, a simple and effective way to start a bullet journal! I've been watching many videos, but they all seemed too overwhelming and complicated. Thank you, I've started with mine today thanks to your tips :)

[@markyourpages]

This is so awesome to hear. Glad it was helpful.

[@magpiestudent9357]

Finally, someone that explains it simply. Thank you.

[@cusebaby10]

I absolutely love love loved this! Not everyone can afford to spend crazy amounts of money on a bullet journal. It's nice to see that you made it accessible for everyone! People can literally pick a notebook of some sort like this up at the Dollar Tree, along with their pen(s). To me, it's definitely not about the most expensive or greatest quality. Your descriptions and explanations were on point! It's so basic, yet thorough, and can get ANYONE started! I can also appreciate the no "frills" without stickers, doodles, etc. It's fine if people want to add that in later on, but again, this gets people started! Your bullet journal tutorial will most certainly help so many people focus on their tasks at hand. Very well done, thank you so much for sharing. Cheers! 😁👍🏻📖✍🏼

[@markyourpages]

Wow, thank you for such an awesome compliment. It made my day to know this was so helpful :-)

[@hekeepsblessingme1312]

Omg! Thank you so much! I've tried to use many types of planners. You might think I'm crazy I've t😂I've been in tears. I've tried to figure out an efficient organization system. I've been soooooo overwhelmed. I'm alwaysW writing notes on fifty thousand sheets of paper. When I need the information,half the time I can't find the paper. I've been feeling like an unorganized crazy person😢 Having ADHD can be frustrating. When I came across your video,I was so relieved! You are by far the best teacher. There are other videos about bullet journals. However,you do an excellent job of explaining how to bullet journal. I'm actually in tears.. Crying tears of joy. I'm so happy that I will no longer feel like an unorganized mess! Thank you so much!

[@markyourpages]

Glad this was helpful. It can be so hard to find that right thing. I’ve been there too!

[@amandahawkinsbirthkeeper]

Awesome to see this done on lined pages, and in a simple way more like the original bullet journal. Thank you!

[@markyourpages]

Thanks for checking it out! And I'm glad to hear that it's been helpful. I was really confused up front about the system, so i'm happy to hear that i've been able to distill it enough.

[@vicencgomez4759]

This is the best bullet journal set up. Realisitic, straight to the point, just a notebook and a pen, no fancy stuff. Love it

[@markyourpages]

THank you so much for watching and the note

[@fashionmentor.lifestyle]

Wow, I really appreciate you took time to explain this. As I was overwhelmed with all other videos for bullet journal and had given up the idea of starting it as it looked complicated to work for me. Thank you for making it simple and easy

[@markyourpages]

Thank you for that feedback. And I’m so glad this was helpful. I know it’s a sticking point for a lot of people to get started.

[@juneseghni]

love this. I have been using ring binders for years (Filofax in the 80s and other more expensive models since!) I enjoy watching the videos full of washi tape and decoration but for the actual planning my brain can't cope with the distraction! This is much more me.

[@markyourpages]

Thanks so much June. It's good to break up your approach sometimes. Not every planner needs the same approach. And for me, the foundations are super important.

[@BosunM8James]

Great video for demonstrating you don't need a special notebook to start a bullet journal. Any simple notebook will do. I also like the emphasis on using what works for you and not trying to copy something someone else created just because it looked artful or fancy.

[@markyourpages]

Thanks James. If we lose focus on what we need to actually do in a notebook it really defeats the purpose. I've learned this overtime myself.

[@TheIslandempiress]

I literally just followed your steps to start my very first bullet journal. Thanks a million.😁

[@markyourpages]

That’s awesome. Good luck on the start of an amazing journey.

[@panogobnean]

My first time ever commenting on KZbin. You did a fantastic job walking me thru the process. You were able to say in such a short video what others have spent more time failing to say. Thx.

[@markyourpages]

So happy to be your first. Glad this was helpful and you got value out of it. Best of luck on your new journal and journey.

[@deliaflores436]

the simpliest explanation i have heard so far! perfect mininaliastic way to keep my life in check. ill be starting today. thanks for the straight foward explanation.

[@markyourpages]

Thank you for that compliment. I know it can be a lot with its parts, but once you go through the motions for a bit it all falls into place.

[@Kian_Mah]

"Back to the future" 🤭 Great summary!

[@markyourpages]

Thank you. 😊

[@TheRisingIcarus]

My first bullet journal was in an old lined notebook. It turned out my best looking as I was still so excited and inspired by the original idea.

[@ificouldfly-16]

I love this idea of doing it day by day. I stopped bullet journaling, because I was creating days ahead of time and sometimes there were no events/tasks do a day and I was left with an empty page. And I really hated the waste of paper that way. Thank you so much :)

[@markyourpages]

I feel you on this so much. This is why I have moved away from long daily lists and moved to more "big events" and leaving the rest for rapid logging.

[@thegoatgirlcr]

Thank you so much for this video!! I've been a yoyo bullet journaler since 2013 and I'm still trying to figure it out, lol! Thank you for the example of the note cards & breaking down the steps in a VISUAL way!!!

[@djreed928]

Simple and easy to follow. I've been watching quite a few videos on setting up a bullet journal, and I was so glad to get one from a man's perspective that was clear, step-by-step and easy to understand. Thanks!

[@markyourpages]

I just have a bit of a more minimal approach. But I am so glad to be here for ideas for others looking for the same thing. :-)

[@plan4life]

Thank you for explaining the basics. I already knew how to bullet journal but I was getting overwhelmed with all the surplus information other channels were giving me. This really is the bare bones and I feel I can actually do this!

[@markyourpages]

Thanks for watching! You absolutely can do it!

Hi Mark. Greetings from the UK. Thank you so much for these videos. I have found them to be excellent instructional videos and really helpful! 👍👍

You are very welcome So glad that it's helpful

[@averysytsma3783]

My first bullet journal back in 2017 was lined! While I definitely now prefer dot grid, it was great to start with what I had and learning if I liked the system before splurging on supplies!

[@markyourpages]

It’s a really important thing, I think, to try before you buy.

[@barbarascott7699]

I’ve been struggling with setting a work bullet journal for years. I watched many videos and most are just too much. Too fussy. This is perfect and I will use this set up. Thanks so much.

[@markyourpages]

This makes me so happy to hear! it doesn't need to be complex. it just needs to work.

[@CodeWithCypert]

I have been interested in bullet journalling but have been having a hard time finding a basic setup to get started. So many stickers and colors and schemes and I'm glad that works for people, but it was overwhelming for me. This setup you have makes me feel way more comfortable with journaling. Gonna give it a shot and will look forward to learning more about the process from your channel!

Check out my channel and my playlist “Start a bullet journal” it’s a basic set up - nothing fancy

[@ansonthomas5804]

@@markyourpages Just started watching your channel. I'm not artistic, I'm a simple guy. Can't do all that fancy artistic stuff. Happy that I found your channel.

Thank you for that feedback. It makes me so happy to know that you are able to understand this easily. It was complex for me early on, so I know the struggle.

[@ThinKtakeNotes]

i like this, I used a Drawing Pad when I first started because I thought I needed to draw boxes and lines lol. But I love the Bujo Method and how I can tweak and adjust different layouts each month.. I try to keep it minimal, my sleeping tracker is a mess, but I prioritize naps and try to record my sleep hours as close to the eye as possible. Not to oversleep, but to make sure I get enough rest.

I love making it our journals what we need.

[@christophergrove4876]

THANK YOOOOOUUU!!!!! This was the BEST intro into bullet journaling! Why? Because it basically follows Ryder Carroll's concept and takes you step-by-step through the process. Other people give an overview without the step-by-step. And others still, do their little tweaks, such as OMITTING the Future Log altogether if you can believe it! (How do they migrate BACK, without a Future Log!??) The BIGGEST frustration with OTHER videos is when people turn journaling into "scrapbooking"!! (Talk about being ADD!!!) I've passed this video/info on to one of my FEMALE friends! ;-)

[@JanetColclough-zb5po]

Eureka! I’ve been trying to use a lined notebook for a while but this has shown me such an easy minimalist system.

[@javieruza4779]

I have been blown up or down...with your beautiful job. I will try to conquer my students 'cos they're not focused for writing the ideas that i share with. So, i'm gonna prepare a proyect with your ideas, because they have to watch the same film 4 times in different versions, so they have to catch details in each one of them, and apart from that, they have to realize the common details, and so on. Mmmm...! I fell in love with this 'cos i'm sure that the final result will be great for both parts. Thanks. Javier from Venezuela

[@markyourpages]

Best of luck with getting everyone on board. I think it’s a great way to keep ideas together.

[@thewildaly]

Thanks for this video. Very well explained. I’ve been doing bujo for over a year but seeing this makes me reflect and think that there’s stuff I should add to my notebook now that I’m starting a new one in July.

Goodness. I had no idea that I was sort of doing this already, but not near so organized. Thank goodness it is time for me to start a new notebook. 📒 I love the migrating tasks < > use. Life will be so much more organized now. Thank you! One thing I also do is to glue a postcard to the front and write the date range on it. It makes it faster for me to look up stuff from old books, because I take tons of pictures and my picture logs are in these.

My confusion which you cleared up was I thought that you had to specify a certain amount of space for each section (Daily, Monthly, Collections) but you cleared up that the book is sequential. I love watching your videos your so clear!

[@markyourpages]

Thanks Mark - first off great name :-) Not having to know how many pages you need is one of my favorite parts, because you don't ever really know. Glad this was helpful. I'm also here if you have any other questions.

[@JoeCool0510]

Nicely done video. I have tried BUJO off and on, and one of the things that always "broke my brain" were having collections interspersed throughout the journal instead of a separate section (as you would do with a binder with dividers etc etc). But I think the thing that you touch on (around 21:00) that is really important is the fact that you have to daily engage with and practice the bujo method. If you can build that habit then I think it works. And I think that Carroll talks about this some as well -- the idea of "reflecting upon your priorities" and thus figuring out what is truly important to you. Anyway, I think I will give it another try -- thanks for the inspiration. Oh and the other thing I really appreciate is the simple notebook no frills approach that you illustrated. Frankly I've seen enough illustrative, scrap bookie bujos to last me a lifetime. So this was refreshing... :-)

[@markyourpages]

It's all about finding what works best for you. I've never seen anyone do it all exactly the same. And after you try it for so long, you start to find what works for you. I have to reminded myself often to just sit down and review for myself sometimes. It's all about building good habits.

[@georgetteberghammer8696]

Thanks. Your a great teacher.🙂 I have watched a lot of videos on Bullet Journaling and it is overwhelming. I'm going to start with yours and slowly add in the doodling as I go along.

I am planning on using a composition notebook for 2021. I have a small monthly calendar from Dollar Tree that I am pasting onto the first page for each month. I am following a lot of what you have in this video, but it looks like I may adapt some of the ideas. The sticky note is excellent. I am also considering using a 5x7 three ring loose leaf binder. Currently using one for the remainder of this year. I have purchased from Office Depot their calendar system with the monthly and weekly system. Just didn't work for me. I need more space for notes. It is truly a work in progress for me.

[@markyourpages]

This is a super cool idea. Super creative bringing the premise calendar into this notebook. Smart!!

[@lynnemenard5910]

Hello Mark! Super great video to introduce bullet journaling. I had been teeter-tottering for a number of months now primarily because I am not yet ready to commit to the expense of a formal dotted/grid-lined journal (compared to the cost of a regular notebook). This video explaining how-to bullet journal in a regular lined notebook was the clincher for me! Your video is what gave me the push i needed to get going, to find a suitable notebook and put pen to paper. Literally! ;^) I was VERY excited to see in images that it's possible to bullet journal WITHOUT the cutesy art (which I *DO* LUV! Sigh...). Loved how you are "dating yourself" with the phrase '...migrate 'Back to the Future'... Haha! :-D Truth: I LUV the displays of art in the (VERY) creative journal pages seen on just about every social media platform, but alas I don't have the time, the patience, and mostly, the talent to re-create them. I am quite a bit a scatter brain. I tend to have notes jotted down EV-ER-Y-WHERE: on pieces of scrap paper, on the back of receipts laying on the kitchen table, in notebooks (?!), on my phone, in my iCal.... Not one of these "system" has ever made me organized. Or productive, for that matter.... While my brain holds a phenomenal amount of information (i still remember the plate number from my first car 25 years and 5 cross-country moves ago! Now, how useful is *that* in Life??!), i tend to be forgetful. Events like birthdays and Christmas.... tend to creep up on me :-/ I have high hopes that adopting this simple system will help me stay organized. I thank you , Sir, for uploading! Keep on keeping on.

[@markyourpages]

Thank you so much for checking out this video and I am THRILLED that it helped you out. I am right there with you, loving the designed pages. I do some of them myself, but I always make sure it's functional. Best of luck on your journey.

This was a very helpful video showing the basics of the bullet journal system. I had not seen how the future log worked in a practical real world sense so this was very useful! Thank you!

[@markyourpages]

Thanks for that compliment. The future log was the hardest part for me too.

[@JoBisbee]

You gave me some clarity on this system. Thank you.

[@markyourpages]

So happy it was helpful

Thank You for your presentations, I mean was an excellent start for Me as a very very beginner, from zero. It helps me get out my nightmares, and go back to my normal life, get back to my daily routines. Subscribe, and also followed You on IG, found a very interesting learning path there. Keep looking an eye on content.

My sister, who I call the "Queen of Planners," steered me to your video today. Good presentation! And your enthusiasm for the system is contagious. Funny thing, my sister gave me a green composition book in March which I didn't feel like writing in at the time. Since then, I've had an operation and am recovering and have begun to make log entries and plan for each day - more or less. I usually leave the first few pages blank and number every other page. I'd done that and started to make lists of staff personnel. In other words, this modifiable bullet system is in line with how I've been thinking - to a point. And the notation seems fairly simple. It's just the application and striving for consistency that'll be a challenge. I'm up for it! Need this added organization. Thanks for sharing this. I don't like the word "guru" so much as its connotations in English go. But if I'm gonna adopt a system, this looks like one to go with. And you've probably got some other ideas that might appeal to me. So, I'll call you a Pathfinder. I subscribed.

[@markyourpages]

Well first, many thanks to the Queen on Planners for the reference. And I'm happy to be your pathfinder. It's all about finding something that works for you and your needs. you can edit it as much or little as you want. Best of luck and good vibes for a speedy recovery.

@@markyourpages - Thanks for the response and the encouragement! I just reviewed the video and am going to adapt it to that green comp book for April, May, June. I knew there was something special about you: Thanks again!

[@CoachShaunie]

Very easy to understand. Thank you! I will definitely be doing this to help me stay on track.

[@markyourpages]

Wonderful to hear and thank you for the feedback.

[@CoachShaunie]

@@markyourpages You're welcome 😁

Great video showing how to use the bullet journal method in a lined notebook! Also, for those who feel compelled to have weekly tasks in view you can do an allistair method for weekly tasks. I cannot handle daily pages because I have to see my life in a weekly view as I have many date specific things to do on my job. Daily pages are more for memory keeping.

[@markyourpages]

Thanks for checking our the video. I agree - I like a nice weekly too.

[@dominiquedoucet-lavigne4207]

Great Video! I've been bullet journaling for 4 years and i don't know if I've ever used the future log correctly hahaha oops! I only use it for scheduling appointments, remembering birthdays. I think adding 'long term' tasks will definitely help me. :)

[@markyourpages]

It’s really there for what you need it for. Appt and birthdays are just as important as those never ending tasks :-)
