Bullet Journal Hacks

[@jills9547]

Love how you use the binder clip and love the idea of putting a heart or other symbol to show you've dealt with all the tasks and such.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Resourceful Jill thanks! The symbol in the corner I still use years later. :)

[@samueltremblay275]

You demonstrate that we can be both very productive and organized while also adding fancy things (but not too much). I'm not a washi tape guy but I've seen a couple of ideas in your video that could help me and that blank black washi tape (and other more man colors) also exist :) I'm prone to be as minimalist as possible but, as the brain works, we are more able to find something when we remember in images and colors instead of words. I tried in the last two months to use the Alastair Method for my future log and to use as many compact layouts as I can but in the final, I think my brain works better with square style layout like in your monthly log. Thanks for this great video. :)

[@Addicted2Planning]

Samuel Tremblay Thank you for watching and your very kind comments!!! So glad that you found something helpful. I’m back in a hard cover notebook again (over a year now) and so busy that my fancy things is pretty minimal now. Some highlighters are helping me right now. Lol.

[@gabbygurl64]

I really enjoyed your videos on bullet journaling. They were EXCELLENT & exactly what I needed to watch (over & over). The hacks were great too! Thanks again for your great videos.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Awe!! Thank YOU for watching!!! :)

[@HaloofCurls]

This is probably one of the most useful hacks videos I've ever seen. The binder clip hack and the pen loop hack are both brilliant. So is the plastic insert for temporary stuff.

[@Addicted2Planning]

HaloofCurls Thank you!! :)

[@andreachodera3062]

OMG! The binder pen loop... how have I NEVER come up with that or seen it? THANK YOU! Love it!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Andrea Chodera yay! A useful tip!! :)

[@pat.s.s9944]

I love and have listed all 3 of your videos on a page in my bullet journal! I wish there were more! I also love looking at your hands and manicures; many are not as attractive!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Pat.S.S Awe!! Thank you!! Super kind words. :). I am way overdue for another video. I hope/plan to get one up soon. Thanks for watching!!

[@Legendofmudkip]

When I saw the binder clip hack, I immediately paused the video and ran to find a binder clip xD Best hack ever!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Lol! Yay!! I hope it helps! :)

[@aprilmunday1152]

Thank you. It's lovely to see these videos from someone with a 'real' life. I'm new to bullet journalling, but I really like GTD and would welcome more videos about how you make them work together.

[@Addicted2Planning]

I'll see what I can do!! :)

[@NormyTres]

Yes, I liked seeing that too as I'm doing bujo and GTD together too.

[@cynsmithyt33]

I just love this! Organization meets utility meets art. Thanks for sharing your great ideas.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Lol :). Thank you!!!!

[@karenvargas9337]

You are the first person I find that has used the bullet journal system for so long... you've got so many great ideas! I'm just starting my journey but will definitely make sure I keep track of your tips and tricks... Thanks for sharing!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Karen Vargas thanks!! BohoBerry and Tinyrayofsunshine I think has used it longer than me. :). But I love the system!! :). Thanks for watching!

[@krembry08kentucky]

I love the meal planning spread!! That is genius. Awesome video!

[@Addicted2Planning]

:) yay! Thank you!!

[@angelicatitus]

Tons of great ideas! TFS!

[@sunbeamphoenix]

I hope you don't mind or are offended, but I stopped and read the note from your son or daughter. It is really beautiful. Loved ones just warm your heart. Also, thank you for sharing your bullet journals. I have gotten a lot of ideas and inspiration. Have a wonderful day!

[@Addicted2Planning]

[@Addicted2Planning]

[@bosslady1914]

OMG! Taping in a list of monthly to-do's that folds out so you can see it while you do your dailys... SO brilliant

[@Addicted2Planning]

boss lady :) Thank you! Hope it worked for you!

[@redgeminiarts3674]

Great hacks! I love seeing different bullet journals, so many great ideas that can easily be incorporated into your own system. Thanks for sharing.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Thank you for watching!! :)

[@krsusort]

great idea's - I really like the page you fold in, cut and put back on with the tape. Nice touch. I hope to incorporate that. I was hoping for idea's on appointments, Doctor, DDS etc

[@Addicted2Planning]

krsusort thanks!! What kind of ideas are you looking for? What about Doctor appointments etc?

[@LaurenElzbth]

Honestly, your videos are some of my absolute favourite planning videos out there - and I watch just about everyone. Awesome job!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Wow Lauren! I am so flattered; what a wonderful thing to say. Thank you!!! :)

[@LaurenElzbth]

+Addicted 2 Planning You are so welcome!

[@annwong5425]

Hi! I subscribed to you today because, after perusing many bullet journal hack videos, I keep coming back to yours. I like your matter-of-fact presentation style. Too many other folks giggle, say "like", exhibit such insecurities that I can't get through their videos. Thank you for great hacks presented succinctly and clearly. Plus they are SUPER hacks!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Ann Wong awe!!!! Thank you, such kind words!!! I'm super nervous doing these, glad it's not overly portrayed. :). Sorry for delayed response as well!!

[@KatesFree]

This was one of the nicer bujo videos I watched. Thanks for posting!

[@georgiemcdougle9064]

This was great, best one yet of all the bullet journal set ups I've watched.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Georgie McDougle really?! Wow! Thank you!!! :)

[@colleen5236]

[@techtonicspaceman]

The washi tape edges is such a great tip! Thanks for making this video, it really helped out a newbie like me.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Yay! Thank you!!

[@tokyorosa]

I've watched a lot of bullet journal videos on youtube and I think this is the best one I've seen. I got a lot of ideas and tips. I hope to see more videos on your channel!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Such kinds words! Thank you!! :) Yes, I am due for another video... need to figure our content / subject! Want it to still be useful/helpful!

[@DaveHoran]

Great video. Love the real life examples of the various 'hacks'.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Thanks Dave!! :)

[@CrystalTagsIn]

These hacks were great! I used several in my journal. It is my first, so I am still feeling out what I want in the journal as well as how many pages things take up, but I love it :)

[@Addicted2Planning]

Awesome! Yay!! :)

[@melcomesaround]

Thank you so much !!! I love the way you make your jounal , so profesional looking . Thanks for sharing !!!

[@savra235]

I started using a planner a year ago, now since I am struggling to find new inserts, I want to start a bullet journal. I've been watching some videos to get different ideas but I think this one is by far the bestt onee. I also loved the fact that you've been using them for a few years now, seeing all those finished journals felt so satisfying hahaha. you are amazing!

[@Addicted2Planning]

That's awesome! Yes, the blank notebook is only limited by our imagination... And as our needs change throughout the year, so can our planner! Thank you for watching and the kind words!! :)

[@dizzyk54]

Thanks for this video and look into your journals! Take care Vicki

[@amermaid8400]

Great tips! 😊 Using the gift card as a ruler is clever, though I first thought it was meant to be a gift for the returner in case you lost the bullet journal. 😆

[@Addicted2Planning]

Lol; now THAT is brilliant!

[@lindacurtis589]

I really enjoyed this video! I just bought my first bullet journal this afternoon!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Linda Curtis yay!! I hope it works for you! :)

[@Addicted2Planning]

[@thatrezchick7873]

i just love the fact you track the stuff that happens with the kids just use it against them when they grow up, that right there totally validated my reasoning for my bullet journal! lol the "bullet" journal really is ammo! lol

[@Addicted2Planning]

ThatRezChick Lol! Yessssss.... :)

[@allthebrokenchildren]

[@Addicted2Planning]

Yay!! Thank you for watching!!

[@horrorluvernyc]

[@Addicted2Planning]

Deeken's Blu Rays | Awe! Thank you! We are our own worse critics, I often look at my pages and think these are awful.... and love other people's pages... while I'm sure they're critiquing their own work. Embrace what makes yours unique to you... :)

[@becomingbrooke9339]

Great video....would love to see more!!!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Thanks Brooke!! I really do need to make a new video a priority!

[@vagrantastronaut]

great points! it was so cute when you talked about using the categorising system so that you can tell your son he wasn't the perfect child sometime in the future :)

[@Addicted2Planning]

GG Gnap lol.... :) I'm sure he'll totally appreciate that. 😂

[@Kathy_Ellen]

Always so inspired by your videos!!! Thank you!! I am going to start using these hacks right now!!!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Janie Melgoza yay!! Thanks for watching!

[@suzee_]

I enjoyed this setup!! I wish one day I could stick to a moleskine or any notebook for as long as you have... it's so lived in!! I believe I'll get mine back out. I've been using a TN but went to a small notebook to do dailies.. I would love to sit and go through your pages! Lol I like the little hacks as well. Could you let me know how your month is counted out? And please make more videos!! ! Lol thanks for sharing!!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Lol, what do you mean "months counted out?" Ya, the brown one was the only filled one, and it wouldn't have been if I followed the general suggestion of starting a new one each new year. It spanned Oct 2014 - June 2015. Lol

[@suzee_]

+Addicted 2 Planning sorry I was nodding off to bed when I wrote that haha. But meant how many squares did you count in your month spread for your boxes. 😊

[@Addicted2Planning]

+Suzee Neal oh!! What notebook are you in? I could count & get back to you. If I recall, each box was about 6x7 tiny boxes roughly.

[@suzee_]

+Addicted 2 Planning same as yours I believe a moleskine large. and that is the size of my boxes i have used too! so I guess we are good lol thanks !

[@Addicted2Planning]

+Suzee Neal perfect!!

[@uberbubble]

Thank you so much for making this video! I am so excited now to start bullet journaling - it all seemed quite overwhelming to begin with. Definitely subscribing! :)

[@Addicted2Planning]

Thank you Hayley! Bullet Journal is so great, don't be overwhelmed.... :) I appreciate your comment!!

[@jvwdigital]

life journal, menus, and hearts...great info for a newbie like me.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Joseph Washington Sounds like this wasn't helpful for you. Sorry to hear that.

[@jvwdigital]

Addicted 2 Planning. Nope, just the opposite.. LOL. I got some great ideas on expanding my bullet journal.. Something got lost in translation. I don't mind making comments for improvement, however I only give helpful and constructive criticism.

[@us5634]

Could you show how you use the bullet journal for a project? Love this video...I'm going to incorporate several of your hacks.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Cynthia Sexton hi there; I would turn to a blank spread and perhaps start mind mapping the project, listing out actions... Etc. add it to a master projects list - then during a weekly review - scan each project and their respective spreads for any next actions... Move those to my daily pages and or forward planning pages as a task. Hope that helps!

[@loheyable]

This looks so great, I hope to someday be as organised as you! I don't have a bullet journal but this inspired me to start ...however, it seems a little overwhelming and I don't know where to start! I will watch a few of your videos hopefully you have stuff for beginners :) xx

[@Addicted2Planning]

Hi Jenna! I hope you've spent some time over at Ryder site www.bulletjournal.com It's the perfect place for beginners. Don't get overwhelmed... start simply and build slowly with what works for you. When it doesn't work for you anymore - get rid of it. :) I hope you're doing well!!!

[@kan-zee]

9:16 Great hack with the Binder clip Pen Loops...so simple and replaceable. Cheers

[@Pieisforme]

I liked this video a lot! Looking forward to designing my own biller journal rather than buying an expensive one.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Thanks!! Yes, being flexible and as decorative or not in your own planner is great! As your needs change, so does your planner. Such a great system! :)

[@jgloveit]

So helpful! Thanks so much for sharing these :)

[@Addicted2Planning]

Anaita thank YOU for watching!

[@carolgallupe2952]

[@Addicted2Planning]

Yay!! Thank you Erica! :)

[@batki2596]

I ABSOLUTELY love Bullet Journaling. It's such a wonderful tool. Excellent video. It was alittle hard to hear your voice though. It sounded like your volume was too low.

[@Addicted2Planning]

Nadja Batki thank you!! Sorry to hear about the volume.... :-/

[@karlaa.mascari167]

Can you make some videos showing a flip through of each of your journals? They looked super cool and functional. Thank you 😊

[@Addicted2Planning]

Thanks! I'll see what I can do. I have lots of personal info in them so sometimes too hard to share...

[@LadyJoolree]

Actually really helpful. Thanks a lot!

[@Addicted2Planning]

LadyJoolree thank you!!

[@CarieHarling]

Another amazing video! Thank you so much for taking the time to share!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Thank YOU Carie for watching.! Every time I make one, I'm in awe of how much work goes into it. And yours has music, an intro, and I'm sure a ton of editing. I'm sure mine could be better if I spent the time.... I do one take and upload. Lol

[@NormyTres]

It's like the bullet journals - we can make them works of art, or we can just make them quick and practical depending on our needs and mood. :)

[@blufaerie]

Awesome video! I'm still in my Moleskine and looking to update to a Leuchtturm 1917 very soon (and hoping to win a giveaway to get it before breaking down and buying it, lol). I love how yours looks! And these are great hacks! Keep it up!

[@Addicted2Planning]

Thank you!!!! :)
