A step-by-step guide 💜 How to do bullet journal reflection

[@JashiiCorrin]

Hi team! 💜 A lot of information in this one, and I hope you got some helpful takeaways 😄 That printable "cheat sheet" I mentioned can be found at bit.ly/3MSHlDN 💪 Which type of reflection do you think would be most helpful for you? 🤔

[@NotesFromPastAmy]

at the bottom of p1 under New Journal Reflection, it says to "move open entries into your new journal's: future log, monthly log, future log." 🤔

[@JashiiCorrin]

@@NotesFromPastAmy Good spotting! I've fixed that now 💪 Thanks!

[@StitchandWitch]

I really appreciate the fact that you’re exploring the actual bullet journal method and not just marketing art videos as bullet journal videos… Not that I don’t love those art videos, but I need more of this in my life as well. Thank you.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad you’ve been enjoyed the recent video 😄💜 they’re all part of our “bullet journal basics” series that we’re doing over the next lil while (probably several months, haha)

[@hezvandermeij]

Agreed! I started BulletJournaling about half a year or so after Ryder brought his method to the internet, so quite a long while. Since then I've stopped, tried other things, but I always come back to his basic methods. Since finding Jashii's channel, and once again remembering Ryder's basics, the combination of them two has lead to me being consistent and happy with my Journaling It's minimalist, with a pop of color and really fits me. Super happy to have the combo 😊

[@melaniefrancis48]

This is probably the best description of the reflection types that I've found. Also, the only one that I've found that explains them all in a single place. Thanks Jess!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome! I was ~considering~ splitting them into separate videos because I didn't want it to feel like too much at once, but I also totally value having all the info in one, haha 😝💜

[@thyllisb]

i restarted my bujo recently after doing it quite wrong and falling off over a year ago lol i'm starting the reflections easy, having a "how you doin'?" page that's basically a one line a day to answer that question specifically so i have a grounding point (and with a mood tracker to go with it!) i never wanted to before cuz it felt silly to me at first but i've accepted it now for my mental's sake haha thanks so much!

[@arlenebrown4946]

I had never set goals before I felt like getting threw the day was accomplishment now I have the future mapped reasonably and it feels good keep up your good work

[@JashiiCorrin]

It’s exciting that you’re in a season where doing that is possible 💪

[@xhaustedDancer]

ooh ooh! I've been rereading the Getting Things Done book by David Allen, and the "Capture" step reminds me a lot of the rapid logging/braindump in bullet journal, so I've starting calling my brain dump page my "inbox" page - it helps me with going through my braindump because I love reaching inbox zero in my email account :3 yaaaaay extra serotonin!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh nice! I've been meaning to read that book for literal years 😂 I enjoy the parallels!

[@jen-x-erplansstuff5407]

MIND UNWIND!!!! Brilliant!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha, glad you liked that one! 😄💜

[@cvvzdesigns]

I'm really glad you call it "Start/End of Day". I've never once had a good experience with premade planners because I'm a night owl and a premade schedule of AM/PM hourly spots is a waste of information/space to me! I write mine out as "Waking/Sleeping" for routine trackers.

[@JashiiCorrin]

I like to recognise that not everyone has the same daily schedule, so terms like AM and PM when we really mean "before you get started with the stuff you need to do" and "after you've in theory done the stuff you need to do" don't necessarily fit everyone, haha

[@angelagilbertlmt]

Thank you for making this video, so helpful. Also, the Patreon "Bullet Journal Reflection Cheat Sheet" really was an awesome duo. You're so different, in a good way, from the majority. Going to use this for real thanks Jess!!!!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad you found value in the printable, Angela! 😄💜

[@m105chelle]

Ahhh so perfectly explained! Thanks 🥳🥳

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome! 💜😄

[@caitiesith]

Loved this explanation - I was struggling to understand reflections, but you broke it down so clearly! Made me feel like a bujo wizard by the end of it. :D

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad it was useful! 😄💜

[@bbodalski]

So wonderfully helpful! Newly diagnosed with ADHD so I’m looking into setting up the bullet journal to help calm the chaos…

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh nice! I know there are a lot of people with ADHD that find bullet journaling beneficial, so I hope it works well for you too! 😄💜

[@talibryn]

I've started adding more reflection pages in my setups, along with reminders to focus on the good parts instead of dwelling on the bad parts. No, I didn't do the dishes today, but I brushed my teeth and vacuumed, etc. Thanks for breaking down the steps, this was really helpful! P.S. I'm a wizard

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad you found it useful! 😄💜 aww yiss, wizard team 💪

[@TaniaH-bz4wh]

Love this video!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😄💜

[@teabean7]

Thanks for this Jess. 💜 I want to laminate the cheat sheet and have it as a moveable tip in. I am guilty of having too many priority tasks. Now to decide I ask, "will I die if I don't do this?" No? Then it is not a priority! 😆 That's when reminders to set appointments with dr and dentist float to the the top of the list. Meh.😑 I think my next Nujo is gonna get a big shake up. Time for something new, avoid the rut. Reflection is key to figuring it all out.🧐Have a great week! 💜

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha I love that reflection question 😂 need to build that into my routine 😝

[@regulschuf]

Thank you so much. I know I will use this!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome! 😄💜 Glad it was useful!

[@NotesFromPastAmy]

🤯 so helpful! off to print the cheat sheet. Thank you!!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome! 😄💜 and glad the cheat sheet could be useful!

[@changemymind06]

Omg what great timing! I was just looking through May and realized how relatively unproductive I had been because life got a little chaotic and I didn't use the bujo that much. I'm excited to incorporate these tips starting now!! Thanks 😊

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome and glad they could be helpful! 😄💜

[@ButterFlYnez]

This video is an awesome resource! For me I do the weekly and monthly reflections without fail, but the daily I condensed and only do in the active in the morning for the day that just passed. I hate forward planning, so I don't. Same goes for using my bullet journal in the evening. Writing and sitting at a desk just physically hurts me, so I don't.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad you found the video useful! 😄 And heck yeah for picking out the reflection types that work for you 💪

[@Siferiax]

Thanks so much. This was exactly the point I struggle with most! Doing USEFUL reflections. Hopefully these tips can help with that ❤

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad it was helpful! I think that finding reflection processes that work best for us and are as helpful as they can be can take some effort, but it’s totally worth it! 💜💪 hopefully these tips prove useful for you!

[@nrjm26]

That's a great breakdown, thank you! Reflecting is so important! I noticed that actually journaling gives me a lot of clarity and mental space. In my last BuJo I used the feont for planning and the back for journaling. In may I started a new BuJo and wanted to journal in a seperate notebook. That didn't happen, so this month I started journaling within my daily logs. So each evening, when I'm going through my task list, I write a few sentences about what I am thinking about. Kind of like a thought log, if you will. This seems to do the trick for me because some days I don't "do" a lot, but I have a lot on my mind and this way the daily logs can better reflect this (no pun intended, but it works somehow!) I might try out the weekly reflections as well, maybe it will lead me to a monthly reflection that works better. I wish being a wizard could make figuring out what works quicker 😅

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha, alas! Not the right kinda wizardry for that 😝 Cool that you've found the daily logging system to work for you! I might try more of that myself 💪

[@RoundSeal]

While I'm using a regular planner this year, I want to gear myself up for bujoing again in the future. I'm going to tuck this away for that! I use a daily mood app and have seen the benefit of reflection using it (Saturdays are my most powerful days, and too much gaming heralds a drop in mood 😅) and although I worry I don't do enough to justify using the more full bujo system, perhaps this would help me to start doing more things that I would like to do. The cheat sheet will be a life-saver. Thank you for the video Jess! 💜

[@dlpendlebury1]

Great info and a really useful reminder, thanks Jess. Oh and also I am totally a wizard 😂

[@JashiiCorrin]

Aww yiss, team wizard! 💜🥳

[@romanawilhelminacrane9690]

hi, morning reflection was always a problem for me since the begining, I am working from early in the morning and waking up like a total zombie so no overflowing of thoughts is happening since I have to wake up fully first to actually have some😀 love this video, refelctions are so important for the method to work

[@lizziBC215]

This is a wonderful breakdown of how to use a bujo for more than a glorified task list. Would you set up the to dos and events of the next day during the evening reflection?

[@JashiiCorrin]

I typically do, but according to the way described by The Bullet Journal Method, it would be set up the morning of. I always find going to bed with a plan for tomorrow to be helpful for me 😄💜

[@echojardini]

Super comprehensive! I appreciate this a lot. Also, can confirm, am wizard 🪄

[@missbilbybadinage1199]

Friction from dreaded, but necessary tasks comes under consequence for not doing. Yuk! 😒 But I give myself a luxurious reward, like like massive spring clean/de-clutter, a new pack of Tombows/washi sets or something else I've been eying off for ages, like my EC backpack w' lunch tote which I'm picking up today. Yay! 😁

[@ejdaffodill]

Yay I’m a wizard!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Aww yiss! Wizard team 🥳💜

[@suzinelson2977]

Three times a wizard!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Triple wizarddd! 🥳

[@jenniferwest567]

Is the cheat sheet still available? I used the link but couldn't find it.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks for letting me know! I've updated the link as we've moved that resource to our free resource library 😊 jashii.com/resources

[@sheiladrover6413]

Today I am a reflection wizard hahaha

[@JashiiCorrin]

Aww yiss 😈 reflective wizardddd ✨

[@alexwright4944]

Thank you for the mind unwind term! I’ve been trolling the Thesaurus looking for another term to no avail. I don’t like brain dump and prefer mind unwind. THANK YOU!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad you liked that one! 💜😄

[@MayYablonko]

I'm a wizardddd

[@JashiiCorrin]

Yesss 😈 wizard team! 🥳

[@Journal_Jonesy]

100% printing the printable and laminating it so i can check off over and over until i have it memorized. 😂

[@JashiiCorrin]

Great idea! 😄💜 I hope it's a helpful resource for you 💪

[@mendyviola]

Daily is too much work and intense for me unless it is a hard appointment/deadline. I do weekly to give myself flexibility without the pressure.

[@JashiiCorrin]

That's fair 👏 I'm all about people having reflection processes that work best for them 💪

[@victoriafitch1261]

Ok that hiss though 😂

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha 😂 Glad you liked it!
