How I Use a Bullet Journal for Focus (simple method)

[@LauraMichellez]

The habit tracker is a great idea!

[@sandrap3047]

You are so right about marking that X yourself! I think we take ownership of something when we take the time to write it down! Great information! Thanks for sharing!

[@storychasing]

You’re so welcome.

[@DanielLaPointe8864]

I like this approach. Whatever our method, its important to do everyday, like you said. I use a plan-of-three to focus my energy. Three things this month Three things this week Three things today.

[@klm-ed]

I love my bullet journal too! Thanks for sharing your method and its benefits 💕

[@storychasing]

You’re so welcome! 😊

[@Simpletruth-t3q]

What a great idea !! I just started not too long ago and actually enjoy writing my thoughts down on paper.

[@storychasing]

Doesn’t it feel good? There really is something about connecting our thought ms using one and paper. So much better than digital.

[@Simpletruth-t3q]

@ it is ! Wish I had done it sooner, but better than not at all. Happy Holidays Amber, you are such an inspiration 💖

[@lisaroth7526]

Thanks for this. I've been wanting to learn to journal for awhile and this definitely gives me some ideas I can use.

[@storychasing]

I’m so glad you found it helpful! It’s a great starting point.

[@kimharris6649]

Good stuff Amber!! Big Blessings!!❤

[@storychasing]

Thanks so much! Have a wonderful weekend.

[@lisasmith8792]

Love your system! I try to "journal" but it just feels like I am relating daily events to a third person. lol The videos that you are posting lately are great! The overall look and feel is cozy, relatable AND visually beautiful. Thank you.

[@storychasing]

I hear you on the journaling disconnect! Glad you're enjoying the new video vibes. ✨

[@shawneeb3771]

Great ideas, thanks for sharing.

[@storychasing]

You are so welcome!

[@shanniwelsh133]

I love this time of the year when I spend time journaling and planning for the upcoming year. Thanks for the tips.

[@storychasing]

I’m with you. I love it too. Do you already bullet journal or what method do you use?

[@valerierachal6566]

Very organized!

[@storychasing]

Thanks a lot! It's all about finding what works for your brain.

[@tinatravis]

Thank you for this video. I am in a season of change and I am looking for clarity. At 57 it feels more daunting to change. I’m excited for what’s next.

[@storychasing]

You’ve got this. It’s all about taking one step at a time and trusting the process.

[@nancymcdaniel9474]

Morning Amber and community Great ideas in creating your custom bullet journal.

[@storychasing]

Morning. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@marciaaustin8231]

Very good organization

[@storychasing]

Thanks a lot

[@janashelby9446]

Amber, was wondering if you did a Travel Journal while you were on the road. I absolutely love journaling and have done many from Everyday Life , Travel, Prayer etc. Staying focused is much easier when journaling. Great to see you back. 📙📕📗

[@storychasing]

It's so great to see another fellow journaler! I find it so helpful too. ✨ Yes I did keep a journal while traveling as well.

[@DianneRawGirl]

I have watched Elsa Talk about this also.I think it might b something to look into.HELLO and Merry Christmas

[@jessicastreet2922]

I think I heard a shout out for Story Chasing on Elsa and Barron's live baby shower today. ❤ so cool!

[@storychasing]

You're right, you did! I love those two. Barron cracks me up!

[@jessicastreet2922]

[@10aemery]

This was a great video, very helpful in breaking down the process. It has been recommended to me to start journaling daily, but the task seemed overwhelming, not sure how to start. I love your journal system with the ability to swap out notebooks. Do you have a link to those products?

[@storychasing]

I agree that sometimes those other systems can be overwhelming. I have really perfected my routine so it's sustainable and gives me what I need. I just added to the description for the products but here's the list: Want to turn scattered thoughts into clear direction? In this video, I share my simple bullet journal method that helps create real focus - no fancy supplies or complicated layouts needed. I'll show you: - How I organize my bullet journal using separate notebooks - The 5 core sections I use to maintain focus - My simple system for turning big goals into weekly action - How I track habits and spot patterns - A straightforward approach to daily journaling that actually works This isn't about perfect spreads or complex systems. It's about creating a simple method that helps you see your life more clearly and know exactly where to focus for real growth.

[@10aemery]

@storychasing Thanks so much! Excited to try it out!

[@Banagal]

Thank you, Amber, for sharing your bullet journal method. How much time do you spend entering data into your journal?

[@storychasing]

When I do the weekly spread it takes about 20 minutes from start to finish because I already have my goals and focus areas set up. On a daily basis I spend about 15 minutes top journaling and reflecting. I wanted something sustainable. You can be more elaborate with your journal, but I literally only do the gratitude and self reflection on what worked well and what can I improve.

[@faithgky]

I actually had to Google “bullet journal”. 😂 oh my

[@jackieschneider7354]

I need to rewatch because I don’t quite get it. I know lots of people journal but was not sure why. I think I grasp it somewhat. So if I wanted to be more social I would put a goal as going out with a girlfriend for coffee or lunch ?

[@storychasing]

That could definitely be a subgoal of your goal to be more social.

[@TwoSeniors]

I journal 30 min to an hour

[@storychasing]

That's amazing. Do you have a specific routine in your journaling practice?

[@TwoSeniors]

@ every morning. My husband brings me coffee and breakfast in bed. I pull over my journal and I start reflecting.

[@daledervin3672]

This hurt my brain. :)

[@storychasing]

I’m excited that you have feeling in your brain Dale! Congrats. 🙂
