I've recently become interested in starting a bullet journal, and I've watched a few starter videos. Yours has so far been the clearest and most instructive of them. I am not very artistic or creative, so your minimal approach really suits me well. Your video is exactly what I was looking for, so thank you!

[@venihandayani5149]

So do i. I want to try my first bullet journal but i'm very confuse with the art. I can't do lettering or paint. Of course it need many tools that i've to buy. Glad to see that bullet journal is not that complicated.

[@ClaudiaPicciani]

Hi :) When I started i was also overwhelmed by all those fancy styles. What I did was just search in Instagram and Pinterest for monimalistic bulletjournaling. You will find great spreads there that are just functional. Also the official website, bulletjournal.com , has the easiest spreads. Example: A monthly overview is just all the dates written down as a list. Nothing more. They also have a youtube channel, so maybe check that out!

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Her approach is quite artistic I will never fit all that info in the tiny space she allots. I can’t write like a typewriter-and I have nice handwriting lol Ah well I ll keep on with my dumps and trying to make lists from them and trying to schedule them.

[@skokokelli]

Ryder Carroll invented this system to work with his ADHD brain! I highly recommend watching his video and the book is great too. The beauty is you can make it work for you. If you get bored with it, change it up. Forget to do it for a while? Flip the page and start again. Get curious about why a task was not completed. Did it need to be broken down into a smaller task? Is it not important or relevant anymore? Good luck!

[@bondiL680]

I tried bullet journaling at the beginning of last year, and quickly got frustrated by it not looking as beautiful and perfectly laid-out as most of the examples I could find online - I'm not much of an artist, and seeing all of those 'perfect' journals with gorgeous illustrations and not a single drop of ink out of place was frankly depressing and I quickly lost my motivation to try to keep up with the journal. But this, like most of your videos, really cuts the concept down to easier, more achievable steps and has wonderful focus on not trying to make it 'perfect'. After watching, I went and dug out my old bullet journal, removed the few pages I filled out from last year, and followed your ideas for the layout (personalizing by switching a few pages around and adding a few I feel will benefit my lifestyle more.) Thank you so much for another lovely and inspirational video!

[@PickUpLimes]

Aw thanks so much, Bondi, I hope you enjoy the process! Keep it easy, simple, remove anything that doesn't serve you. You can always add more to it later :)

[@StardustDNA]

The creator of the bullet journal has quite a minimalist approach. If there is a desire to be creative though how about just one monthly creative page (like doodles, sketch, drawn or printed art)? Perhaps that'd satisfy your creativity but make things less daunting? :)

[@bondiL680]

@@StardustDNA Nope, been using my bullet journal consistently (with great success!) since the day I posted this comment, and am quite happy to get all my artistic fulfillment from my highly creative career, haha. So yeah, drawing in it isn't for me, but thank you so much for the suggestion! Maybe it'll help someone else scrolling through the comments one day. :D

[@TheAmyb99]

For several years now I have wanted and attempted to start a bullet journal. I’d buy a few supplies here and there, I’d sketch page ideas on notebook paper, but somehow, when it came time to start, I never felt my journal was good enough. I know that thought is just silly. I know my bullet journal/planner is only for me, but when I look at all those beautiful Pinterest worthy pages others have posted, I feel I’m just too far lacking in artistry and creativity to continue and I quit before I really ever even got started. Today, however, something changed. I watched your video about starting a minimalist journal and I really enjoyed it. It inspired me to start again and since I’m now divorced, have a child away at college and one who spends a week at at a time with his father, I have way too much free time. THANK YOU for giving me the inspiration and the confidence to try again. I am truly grateful! ❤️

[@karenmcelravy]

Money! That was the important page for me when I started Bullet Journaling. I write the dates down the side, then make a note when I spend money. At the bottom I write down things that I'm thinking of buying in the future or things I'm saving for like a vacation or dishwasher and the debt I'm working on paying off. This is how I figured out what bills I have every month and how much they are! ☺️ And I finally got a handle on spending and saving after years of struggle.

[@Kindri9]

I'm getting back into my BUJO and I literally looked up minimalist BUJO and your video is PERFECT. I used mine for quite a while until I was out of work and then found I didn't have enough to fill it. If you want to add a little "fun" without getting overwhelmed with artistry, just use a different color pen for each month. I finally realized what satisfied my creative itch, but didn't get me overwhelmed was picking two colors for each month. What I was struggling with was the layouts. I really like these layouts a lot. They are simple, to-the-point and cover pretty much everything I'm looking to cover. I like setting aside that time each week/month to set up the layout and do the review/retrospective of the week. Thank you!

I've been keeping a bullet journal for three years. I started out very fawncy 🏯 but now it is completely minimal🏠. I do a month at a glance, a tiny list of goals for the month, and my monthly meditation log which I also have another huge journal for as it covers many years. Then I do my week at a glance. That's it. Since it is a new year I will probably do a year at a glance and I might include Level 10 goals and chart as that always wakes me up! For years I used some sort of daytimer and it was my most essential tool as a therapist. But now I'm working less and the flexibility of this system really suits me. Thanks for sharing yours - a peek into your process is fun.

[@eloisemarie5219]

[@minalovis]

I've had a bullet journal over two years now and I had episodes where I kept it very minimal, but I always come back to expressing myself creatively with it, so it got more "artsy". I have watched a ton of bujo videos here on youtube, quite a few minimal ones, too. But in your video you managed to present something that's at least new to me. I really loved the set-up and will definitely give it a shot and switch it up a little to my "artsy" likings. You have a very neat handwriting and I'm impressed by how clean it looks when you write out so many numbers!

[@allipope2586]

Thank you so much for making this! As I see mentioned below, you are a lovely woman, and your voice and approach is so calming.

I tried bullet journaling in the past, but probably started too big and was overwhelmed by my perfectionism. But your approach and the minimalism is refreshing and I'm so excited to start again and to hopefully have this little safe space to clear my mind, keep track, and process! Again, thanks so much!

This video really inspired me to give bullet journaling a try. I really resonated with your description of feeling scatterbrained and having notes on random pieces of paper and digital notes all over the place. I have tried a journal for the last few years but there hasn't been much of a system and it just became a rolling to-do list scattered with random thoughts. I went through and setup a bullet journal for the month of may and it sounds crazy but I already notice a huge difference. Also I didn't understand the brain dump at first and thought it probably wasn't for me but now I'm wondering how I even functioned without putting all these random thoughts onto paper. Almost knowing that i have a place to put these thoughts has brought a lot of them bubbling to the surface.Thank you so so much for sharing!

This is the best bullet journaling video I've watched. My quest to search more ended here.

[@deborahrabesanroman5017]

I have watched several videos about starting a bullet journal, and yours is the first to show the details of setting up each page. Thank you... well done!

[@thaliaquintero8140]

I think a lot of ppl don’t understand bullet journaling is anything you want it to be!!! From it being very very artistic to being very very simplistic!! It’s what ever works for you and only you.

[@Angiecb8]

Best video I've seen so far about bullet journaling! The way you explain it and actively show the step-by-step is so easy to follow and draw inspiration from. Thank you!!

[@sproutandblossom]

You're wonderful. You've taken a process that the most well-intentioned of us have complicated and therefore given up on, and you've simplified it in a manner that is clear and accessible to many. Thank you for sharing your process and for all of the inspiring, beautiful videos you and your team create. You deserve every single subscriber you have earned. Happy New Year, Sadia! -Mary

[@PickUpLimes]

Thank for all the kind words, Mary - it's so appreciated. Happy new year!

[@createparadise]

Mary Blossoms beautifully said! I couldn't agree more. 🤘🙆‍♀️❤️

[@createparadise]

Mary Blossoms I just checked out your channel and it's gorgeous! How come you don't uploaded anymore? 😊❤️

[@sproutandblossom]

@@createparadise Happy New Year! Thank you. Two kids and two jobs but I will be starting up again for 2020! Just subscribed to your channel as well. :)

[@apscafe]

Fantastic

[@wing3789]

I've found the most success using a bullet journal without the actual bullet journal system. Because then I'll feel like I keep repeating the same tasks that needs to move over. But the concept is great and I've been using it for on and off 2 years. Definitely helped track my progress when I wasn't working a 9-5 (it can sometimes feel defeating since there's no set schedules and validation from manager/coworkers/etc.) Also, it's wonderful to look back on the different stages of life!

[@knocknockify]

I tried to keep a bullet journal a couple years back, and I was not successful at it. This video is really making me wanting to try again. I'm currently still making weekly to do lists on my phone, and then I delete the to do's when I'm done. More and more I've been wanting to look back at my deleted stuff and see what I've gotten accomplished throughout the year. These spreads looks like they'll make it easy for me to do so, without making too much pressure on myself to make things look "perfect" and "beautiful"

[@lillyfingers]

I am overwhelmed just looking at this let alone sitting down to create one!

[@analuisabrandao95]

I felt so sorry when I heard she was planning 2020 (I'm commenting from January 2023). Hope everything went as well as possible in 2020 for you! Loved the video ❤️

[@WriteMeASong7]

I thought the same thing. :(

[@luciaret]

But don't be! Sadia is a very resilient person I'm sure she maneged to do something productive during 2020 (beside all the bad part, this "slow down" moment was helpful for some of us🙏)

[@apscafe]

Appreciated

[@shinujeheo8384]

Me too

[@dhiaag1032]

Ive watched many bullet journal videos and yours is the most understandable and fun. Minimal and straightforward. Others are too overwhelming for me.

[@lostnfound7977]

I feel like you're the most sorted person I ever saw

[@fllini99]

lostnfound 797 Ah! Yes! Sorted is also my word of the year. I love that!

[@mariagomes6089]

I still remember very well: back to January, this video appeared in my recommended videos. I decided to watch it and by that time I had no idea what a bullet journal was. Now I can't live without my own

[@hazelcarrillo7921]

rewatching this vid of hers cause i need some help in going back to track and putting my life together. i just got to say how i love her so much!

[@mimong4848]

me watching this at 2022 want to say thank you so much for this. I got my interest to bujo because how artistic they are (and I love arts so much). But as a beginner, it's pretty overwhelming to see bullet journal videos which are so pretty, aesthetic, and full of creativities.. thinking that I might not make as good as them. That makes me cannot start at all! But this video saved me. It's so minimalistic with a very clear instructions and so simple!!! I immediately thinks "I can definitely do this much.." Thank you so much!!

[@nurfarahhanun7795]

When I just started bujo, I bought all those cute stickers and washi tapes that suits my aesthetic- thinking that a bujo should look aesthetic and pleasing in the eyes. Well, didn't manage to keep up doing all the pretty spreads for more than 5 weeks- I gave up. I felt so much pressure to maintain the aesthetic of my bujo, rather than to actually update my bujo with tasks. As time goes by, I realized that an effective bujo is all I need. You dont have to follow all the spreads that other youtubers shared but just take which one suits and works for you! 🌼 Now, my bujo is so simple- one highlighter and a black pen. And I have never been happier.

[@apaiiyui8488]

@@nurfarahhanun7795 yes exactly you have to find your middle in all this. We shouldn't put pressure on ourselvs on how others do them, because it's really super personal ☺️ and we should tell ourselvs that we can always change our bujo however we want, because it's you that make it. That's how I made myself today make mine 😂👍🏻 if we do a mistake, just change the page - redo or just correct with white pen or something like that 🙈 Thanks for your words it motivated me even if it wasn't directed to me 😊🌸

[@16blank45]

This is August. I have just seen this for the first time. I subscribed because of it. I have followed other BuJo KZbinrs who have been very detailed, and while I am attracted to the almost addictive attention to detail that they have, I honestly find it overwhelming. Your system, while slightly time consuming, is actually VERY simple and easy, without me yet getting into it...and I will get into it. I wanted to start for September, but it dawned on me that I didn’t even know what I wanted to do/track. This has provided clarity. I wish you the very best for the rest of 2020, and God bless you (I am a believer, so I try to spread the good of Christianity instead of the negativity that abounds today). Have a wonderful week!

[@m0L3ify]

Thanks, this was really helpful. A friend just told me about this method and all the videos I've seen today have been total nonsense to my head. I just couldn't get my mind around how it worked, I think because they went too fast. I think I understand it better now. Your video was much more relaxing to my brain. :)

[@arch410]

Finally joining the bullet journal train. It's been quite overwhelming with all the ideas out there, but your video was so helpful. The recommendations are simple yet impactful. It has just what I need. I also really appreciate the reminder that this is to build awareness, not to judge ourselves. I feel at ease now to get into my journaling. Thank you for putting this together!

[@GlennBeanJr]

I really like your weekly layout. I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate an hourly agenda, since that's what has been keeping me somewhat organized during this quarantine (and I realized I should keep a journal rather than my stack of dozens of sheets of printer paper w/notes). Your way works great, still gives plenty of room for to-do tracking/notes, and the agenda. And your "minimal" is already much more than I had started off doing. 2020 hasn't gone the way any of us anticipated or wanted it to, but I'm trying to reclaim some control. Thanks!.

[@Will-go1fy]

Love this video have watch yearly...would love to see a new updated one ....maybe for your set up for 2024 ... Love to see how your bujo evolved

[@takkat24]

This is nice and simple, easy to follow. I've never done a bullet journal before but thought I might start one. Yes, it's half way through the year but I guess that's the great thing about bullet journals, you can start them whenever you want to.

[@chaoticsoul6659]

I love how you u accessorize plants in your every video.

[@myquiescentmind]

It's nearing the end of 2022 now, and I finally bit the bullet so to speak and bought a bullet journal. I'll be eighteen in the beginning of next year, and I have decided to graduate this December and move out of my parents' place in either January of February, so with the summer finally over I can dedicate some time to organizing my next move and planning for the future ahead. I also plan on going to trade school as soon as I leave, and having a system of this nature would help me immensely, I'm sure. I've not once been consistent with keeping a journal in my life, but I think this method is what I've been needing. Especially with the advice of keeping it simple. Thank you for this video, it was straight to the point but also very eloquent.

[@1221-r4k]

I feel like I just went to therapy watching this video... Hearing you organize and evaluate your life so simply and broadly made me see my life in such a way, and I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders!

[@greeneyelia]

I love the simplicity of this. I'm not artsy at all and some of these bullet journals are so intimidating! Beautiful, but intimidating, lol.

[@cm975]

I love how you organize the weekly & daily week at a glance! I’ve been trying to bullet journal while scheduling when I could accomplish tasks, and this is a perfect way to do it. Thanks!

[@Serenaa_K]

I'm French and not fluent in English, so please excuse my potential language mistakes. I'm an artist and I "bullet journal" for around 2 years. My design has always been very minimal. (I let my creativity express in work. Never in my organization system. Otherwise, I'm even more distracted that I'm by nature !) I always thought that trackers were a trap for me. Because I'm an anxious and perfectionist person. And I tend to be very tough with myself (not accepting failures, too much self made pressure on my shoulders...). So, I never integrated trackers for my "mind safety". As you well say in mid-video, I tend to criticize me a lot with this system. But your way of using random period trackers opened my mind ! I feel for long time that I need to be aware of what I do and what I've done to keep progressing on setting good and healthy habits (in work, spiritually and other stuffs to deal with). I never saw trackers in that way ! It's quite refreshing ! I'm going to try ! Thank you for this advice ! You are a very kind person. Your smile and your energy are so smooth. It's a peace for the mind and so helpful ! Keep going ! Take care !

[@dailyskincarewithh4143]

This's such a nice message. I feel you, I'm also a perfectionist and some times(most of the time) we hurt our own self by not letting things go. Applying self love and patience is so important Take care of your self

[@Scorpio_bruja]

I had been looking for yearly calendars; I had no idea this was even a option. So thank you for popping up on my feed. Although I looked at a few other bullet journal DIYs, I'm in love with the way you did yours and I literally copied down almost everything you did. Thank you for sharing this.

[@elpark6006]

omg you're one of the few who actually has something simple in the name of minimalistic. absolutely loved it, I'm trying a new approach.

[@Samantha-vlly]

I'm so thankful that I watched these bujo tips, it helps me to see my realistic goal of starting it. And your whole channel is 🌿✨ It's so calm

[@akhilak623]

Hi Sadia... I'm a follower of your channel for a long time. Back in 2019 I watched this video and started journaling. That was best decision I've made in my life. I was preparing for an exam that time. I cracked it recently. Bullet journalling helped me to stay in line with my study plans. Love you Sadia 💕💕💕

[@DJL2021]

I love this, starting my first Bullet Journal and I was getting overwhelmed with how to start and what to do, but you really demonstrate and easy way to start, thank you!

[@TheKitchenSage]

I did my first bullet this year and have been loving the fact how productive I have been. This was super easy and functional.

[@graftedingrace6594]

Thank you so much for creating this beautiful, simple video. I have just taken on a senior role and I was worrying the other night about how I would add that role to my other responsibilities. I realised if I was organised I could get everything done and feel more relaxed. I've spent the last few days trying to work out the best way to organise my thoughts and time. Your technique is so simple, beautiful and achievable. I initially thought the whole writing out dates etc would be really tedious, but I've given up social media in the last month so I'm absolutely certain I can make the time. Thank you again for your thoughtful, elegant tutorial. I'll be going back and watching it a number of times. God bless.

[@miniminiemina]

This feels incredibly accessible! Thank you for the reminder to keep it simple and all the other great tips! (Will definitely incorporate a gratitude page)

[@donnajohnston2177]

Finally, a bullet journal that is simple! While the others look pretty, this is more user friendly, especially if you don’t have an artistic bone in your body! Lol Thanks for showing how you do this. Seriously going to give this a go. Happy new year!

[@mandanakhalvati5153]

I'm from Iran, and I speak Persian, sometimes I think with myself OKAY let's watch pick up limes, which is Persian, and easy to follow so I could be relaxed. And then I remember that you speak English, and all my good and relaxing feelings are because of you and your calm and relaxed way that you speak. Thanks for all the efforts 🍀☺️

[@goldenpanda3x370]

I have a fairly similar system, in three separate journals... I carry around my brain filter journal everywhere! I have a 2020 calendar for those weekly tasks, and a budget journal. It keeps me organized... oddly enough.

[@ksuman1763]

I started journaling from jan 2021 by taking little bit of idea from this video! And the year’s going to end! And I’m so happy that I followed it! I planned out a lot of things and executed it as well! Yeah, I won’t say I was consistent tho! There had been breaks like 2-3 weeks! But then I used to come back and fill in the blank pages for these weeks! But yah! I maintained it quite well for the first time and I’m so happy for making this as a habit! Thank you for your help! :)

[@rockettgirl]

I started using this method the past few weeks and it has helped so much! I was like you, notes everywhere and very unorganized. This has been helping me stay productive and keep track of everything really well. I love it!

[@delaramnajmaei7252]

Just watching this video calmed my mind. It’s like a meditation.
