[@mx5701]

Because most of those BuJo broads just waste their -and their viewers' - time with superficial shit like tape, stickers, and other crap no sane person would think about. They're not journaling, they are actively procrastinating and hide their procrastination under layers of "oh I just made my shitty notebook sooooo pretty".

Sorry but journaling has no rule,journaling is based on how you want it to look like,or how you want to express it.

[@issie4294]

Why does them wanting to make THEIR journal the way THEY want it affect you in any way? If you don't like the videos don't watch it but there is literally no need to bash someone for wanting to express their creativity through their journal.

[@katerinalongoria9750]

I gave this video a Like the moment you said you have a page dedicated to scripture and that it is powerful. I don't preach, I'm not always talking about the Bible, but I'm a believer and I love that you said it on your video. A lot of people show pride and demand respect for their choices, their lifestyles, the way they’re born etc and I think it's great that Christians can ask for the same respect for our beliefs. Thanks for including that moment in your video. You could've left it out but you didn't. That's powerful ❤️ If we deny Him, He will deny us.

[@Stephsgotit]

I appreciate the point is to be more productive and not worrying about decorating. i just started but became a little overwhelmed with all design elements i was seeing on youtube and pinterest. although i will get bored with the minimal look after a while - i look colors and dedigns - but it's good to just start minimal and then throw in designs in later months after having learned the true rapid journaling intent. thank you i have to remember that this month. also going to add that week work block tp incorporate school classes, etc.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Love it! Great approach starting simple and building on. Love how personal you can make journaling when using a dotted journal!

[@jonathanwazar7016]

Friends. Why the mania? Would this not subject one to just another regiment? Should the notebook/field journal not be a lean and mean tool? I mean - it's is pretty n all. Just pointing out the utilitarian purpose of the paper - pen combo. Jot down what you need to do. Want to do. Note when complete - plan no more than 3 months ahead. Past three months is things of dreams. Next 90 days are NOW. Push, harder and again. Get tough. Make it happen. Use tools.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

To each their own!

[@jonathanwazar7016]

@@SpencerScottPugh Yes, I meant no offense though. Must admit the layout is absolutely beautiful. If an elder years later handed me this journal I would be blown away. I meant only to advise against the peril of self inflected regiment.

Also, use Varsity Fountain pens for regular journals. 🙏🏻❤️

[@jennh3106]

It took me awhile to get into bullet journaling because it always seemed like something made for creative artsy-tumblr-like girls. I started journaling mid-2018 & kept it strictly for productivity so it’s quite minimalistic. As a working college student, efficiency is one of my main priorities and I’m so happy I gave journaling a chance and found what works for me. I’m definitely going to look into the 10 block work week setup, thanks 👍🏽

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Hey same here! Almost exactly lol. (Minus the college student thing... wish I was still in college 😬) yeah, the 10 block work week thing is awesome and has helped so much. Good luck! 👍

[@ameliewong8228]

Right? I was super hesitant in starting bujo because I am not artsy like others are, but I learned that we make it what we want, and what will work for us individually.

[@kailahmom1]

Great video! I really like your journaling style. I love watching different bullet journal videos from the most minimal to the most artsy. After reading through the comments I did want to point out that even artsy bullet journals can be productive. Pretty and productive does not have to be mutually exclusive. Productivity has nothing to do with how a journal looks and everything to do with how you spend your time. Someone spending two hours one day a month making pretty, artsy, bullet journal pages doesn't mean they aren't being productive the rest of the month.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Well said! Thanks, Karlisha 🙂

[@lr3361]

Well my life isn’t busy, I work, sleep and repeat. My household chores are done on my days off when I feel like it lol!! I don’t have a big to do list either. My to do list is small enough to remember. I love watching these videos. I am not crafty or artsy so I think minimal is great. I do enjoy watching the creative side of people’s journals to. Am I the only one who enjoys the fine paper feel and the feel of the pages turning and the pen imprint on the paper?? 😊

Nope! I love it too! Thanks for the comment!

[@recoveringsoul755]

@Paul Stejskal I'm not sure I'd want people to see what I wrote, just the basic layout, and that could be explained with words. If some people are watching on giant screen TV's they probably can see it. I get what you mean though, lot of people say "as you can see here..." when we CAN'T see. So it'd be nice if they either held it closer to the camera, or explained what was on the page, like upper left corner, and so on.

[@carprincess]

First off, thanks for sharing your Bullet Journal. I feel that the community is full of women so it's nice to see some diversity. Secondly, I appreciate the warning of 'don't get carried away about making it pretty', because when I was Bullet Journaling, I spent SOOOO much time trying to make it pretty that it wasn't productive for me.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Yeah same! Im glad the minimalist approach is resonating so well with people!

I've been toying with the idea of starting a bullet journal for ages but I didn't think I could maintain one due to all the pretty and complicated ones that I see on KZbin and Pinterest. Instead of being motivated I get stressed up whenever I think of the huge amount of time and effort that go into maintaining one of those creative bullet journals. I'm glad to see it can be done in a simplistic manner as well. Thanks so much for sharing yours.

[@TGCreaTion]

5:08 Ironically, Spencer shows us on his Daily Habits page why habits are tough to keep. Imagine trying to add 10 new daily habits into your already busy life. It's tough.. so if I can give any advice, based on past experience and this video, try and do maybe 2 new daily habits for a month. Do that until they don't feel like something on a checklist, they just feel like your daily life. Once you're at that stage then add another new habit and so forth.

[@aamariamason4562]

First things first! THAT SCRIPTURE MEMORIZATION PAGE THOUGH!! I've been buying planners for years now and I've never found one that really suited me, so I figured it was time to finally make own! Second! The habit tracker that you have like, drinking water, waking up at 6 am, daily bible time really pulled me in! There are many videos on yt that make bujo seems too complicated and finding your minimalistic approach showed me how realistic and practical this experience really can be! All I need is the moleskin and the pens and I'm good to go! So thank you for NOT over complicating this layout and thanks again for this video!! This will definitely help me see how efficient/not so efficient my days are! As well as help with my quiet time with God! 😊

[@navigodelaney119]

Love that you start with Scripture. So encouraging to see. Great tips, too. Love those pens. Love the book progress page. My husband has started two successful businesses, and he always tracks his time because it's valuable and limited. He always starts with time with God and Bible study. For 30 years, he's always been not only productive in his businesses, but he has made time for our family and to help people. If he had not practiced being thoughtful about time, who knows how he'd have been as a family man. God bless.

Awesome. Love it! Would love to meet him!

[@catherinelevison3310]

Thank you. I used to keep lists, like prayer request lists, and they wind up all over the house...in drawers, Bibles, wherever. I made them on grid paper so I could check off the items from the huge list daily. For the last few years I’ve been buying cheap 5x7 spiral notebooks and keeping tract of my life. I just heard about bullet journals and I’m afraid I’ll get lost in the “art” of it. But thank you for the help. Yours looks great. I took some screen shots so I can be inspired by how you made your Scripture Memorization page look so inviting.

Very interesting to see a guys take on this. Something I’ve found helpful is to create a list of sprints for 5,15,30,60 minutes. Things I can do with short bursts of ‘found time’ in my day.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Woah! Interesting idea!

[@rurintoge7425]

I really enjoyed this, especially the last part where you remind people to keep their intentions for their own journal in mind. E.g. my own reasons are leaning towards "finding a reason to do less on a screen and more with my hands (and all the various papercraft stuff I assembled over time) while filling the day", so I enjoy the artsy doodle tutorials you find everywhere a lot... but it is an important reminder that art isn't (usually) all there is to it. I like how you seem to incorporate a lot of Rydell's original way of bujos while also using some of the other things in a way that suits yourself. Combining two camera views is also a nice touch to make the video more... personal in a way? You keep doing your thing, it's great.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks so much, Rurin! Yeah, that is the number one thing I love about the bullet journal. It really is specific to each person and can become such an extension of who we are!

[@davidwilliama.7296]

I just started my bullet journal today. I have just the index and future log done, but tomorrow I will make the monthly log and daily log, plus maybe a few extra pages for different things like the habit tracker and a food log. I like the idea for doing scripture memory in the bujo. I am trying the bujo to hopefully make myself more productive and organized. Pretty much nothing has worked so far, but I like this because you can customize it and change it as you go. I don't like using most systems. Whenever I use an app or software for productivity, I want to do things that aren't possible within that system. With the bujo, I can do whatever I want with it. Hopefully this one sticks and it will help me.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Nice David! Good luck with your BuJo. Your reasoning is the exact reason why I started bullet journaling. Thanks for the comment!

[@annastasiamae]

I always wanted to do this but being im a busy mom and it’s a little time consuming I was bummed until the other day when I actually found a BUJO planner at TJ MAXX that has the months/days/notes/mantras/stickers/habit tracker/goals/etc and I’m THRILLED that the bulk of its done but I can still put my personal touch on it! I love that it looks hand written & noticed I get more done having a schedule and to do list! I like your scripture section and block schedule! Thanks so much for sharing

Man, I'm so glad I found this video. I actually stopped using my bullet journal last summer because I kept getting bogged down with making it pretty and aesthetically pleasing that it wasn't productive at all. But this video really focused on productivity unlike a lot of other videos where the design aspect is the focus, and it's inspired me a lot. I might actually resurrect my bujo during the summer. The Scripture page is pretty cool, I wanna do that with Qur'an verses. Also, the week 10 block system seems really cool! I don't have a use for it right now, but imma keep it in mind for the summer if I need it.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

@@SpencerScottPugh I'm not at all shocked that you've gotten comments about copying the Scripture page. Many muslims are taught to memorize the Qur'an at a very young age.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@axelcarvalho2661]

10 blocks is a great idea

[@SpencerScottPugh]

I agree!

[@blancatrevino5777]

Man, this is really great! I have been bullet journaling for a couple of years now and I never followed the typical colorful and doodle-y style that most bullet journalers use. Always been more focused on productivity and effectiveness of the spreads and content I choose to put down. Thank you for focusing on truly helpful content. Keep it up! 😊👍

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Awesome! Couldn’t agree more :)

[@BudFieldsPPTS]

I like this video, and I thank you for it. We happen to agree on our personal purpose for journaling. I am glad your set up works for you as you intended it to. That is success, in my journal!! :) Thank you.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thank YOU, Bud! 👍

[@Dmi3Bals]

Very nice approach. I'm using Bullet Journaling for work (which I simplified to weeks instead of days) and for Vlog.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Love it!

[@karo8191]

Hey! I am currently thinking about redoing my bullet journal system and your video was super helpful! I love how you explained and showed everything, really nice video :) + really great that you focused on the content and not just the aesthetics

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Awesome! Let me know when you redo yours! Would love to see!

[@markmushyguy]

I love how detailed your page and design is. It’s so refreshing please keep it up. Don’t lose yourself

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks Mark!

[@MelizaMcG]

Love the minimalist look to your journal!

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks abunch, Melissa! Do you keep one as well?

[@MelizaMcG]

@@SpencerScottPugh I just started, but haven't been taking as much time as I would like to make it pretty :)

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Yeah, I kinda decided to not focus on making it so pretty and just make it work to get me more productive. But there is always such a pull to make it look cool too 😂 there’s definitely a lot you can do with it!

[@MelizaMcG]

@@SpencerScottPugh Yours looks great though! Keep it up :)

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks so much :) I appreciate you!

[@JoeBlack9]

THANKS

[@VibrationsTackle]

Holy Moly!!! I just started the exact process! We have much in common brother🙏 I was thinking about customizing my journal for fishing! I like your habit tracking. I just finished up with a DBT class. This is a great step down! Great video and God Bless😊👍🎣

[@caskstrength143]

Just ordered Ryders book, been watching his video’s and a few others...i like that you have kept the basics simple and then adapted. I’m looking forward to the book and getting some ideas ready for my specific needs. Great video - thanks for sharing

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Nice! Hope you find bullet journaling helps with your productivity and is fun!!

[@CameronGibsonIRL]

Love the minimalist approach. Trying to simplify my bullet journal so I love this!

[@seanproinsias]

A real plus with this video is being able to see the presenter; it makes for a more convincing video and adds credit to the work done. I was getting tired of the 'hands only, no face' type of video. This is a welcome change.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thank you! I've literally kept this in mind ever since I saw this comment.

[@marvinschumann6832]

Unortunately, the book was not really in focus. Would have loved to see more details...

[@SpencerScottPugh]

🤓

[@ElizabethCar]

Love the Scripture page! Gonna steal it 😉

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Go for it 😃

[@inessilveira1385]

Gonna start a new bullet journal soon, glad I found this video.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Nice! Have fun with it :)

[@inessilveira1385]

@@SpencerScottPugh Thanks! The video is very well made btw, good job :)

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks 😊

[@shishifufuexpress4142]

Thanks for sharing your ideas with us It’s very unique and so straight forward. I’m gonna add on my bujo those scriptures and time management spread, too.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Yay thanks!

[@darinwynder7207]

Nice suggestions for the dudes that can't keep up with the ladies awesome designs and ability to script and makes letters look so great

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Ayyyy they put in WORK!

[@jenilynestorba575]

I'm glad this is the first bullet journal video I watched. I intend to use this for work, hobby and tasks at home and I highly doubt I'd be artsy about this. Thank you so much for this content! Love how functional it is. ♡

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks so much!!!

[@sarahbethyoga]

Well done! I like your style 😃

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks Sarah! 😃 I’d love to hear, do you have any suggestions for videos for my channel? Anything you might be interested in/ want to learn more about?

[@sarahbethyoga]

@@SpencerScottPugh Here are a few things from the top of my mind: Minimalism for beginners. 50 things I no longer buy as a minimalist, Minimalist living as a man, Minimalist before & after: closet/bedroom/kitchen etc. Minimalism for couples. Minimalism & marriage. A minimalist christmas, Minimalism declutter with me (timelapse with voiceover & music so other feels inspired to clean & declutter as you do). Day in the Life as a minimalist. Minimalism documentary reviews. Minimalist wallet.

[@sarahbethyoga]

@@SpencerScottPugh I personally love videos that inspire me to declutter, whether a "clean with me" type vid or an instructional that lays out the how to in a very clear way.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

You rock. So helpful! Thanks very much!

[@Lisa_Uncensored]

An organized man 🙌🏼 I love this. Great video!!!! One of the best!!! Your scripture page 💕🙏🏻🙌🏼 What a great idea!!!

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thank you so much!!

[@michaeldatuin15]

SO THANKFUL there’s a dude with a video like this, subbed, but I wish you would’ve zoomed in on some of the pages, I want to get inspiration for my journal 📓 thank you!

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks a bunch. Sorry for the unclear page view 😬

[@YiraC]

Thanks for this video Spencer, I got new ideas for my Bujo!

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Yay! Thanks for watching :)

[@ksoonsoon]

Bible Bullet, Love it. Keep the faith and the BUJO bro

[@SpencerScottPugh]

lol thanks man you too!

[@MakerMaddox]

This is dope! and super simple! I've always kept some form of planning notebook whenever I start a project and am just now getting into the formalizing of BuJo so this was really helpful! I bind books/notebooks on my channel and just made one for this specific purpose. Maybe I'll send you one of my "fieldnotes" style pocket notebooks sometime. Holla atcha boy!

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Yoooo That would be so dope! Send me a few and I'll do a giveaway and promote them if they're awesome! I'll check out your channel for sure. Thanks for the comment!

Loved it! Thanks for the info :) Loved the cameras set up!

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks Caro! :)

[@ChattyWalkswithAngela]

Thank you for this video, it's so nice to see one that is about productivity and tasks rather than art. I think bullet journals are a great repository for one's thoughts, wishes, aims etc, but I am just after a productivity tool, and you have nailed that for sure. Will definitely work on the 10-block system:)

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Awesome! Hope it works for you :) I think it’s pretty neat!

[@elgabenedicta]

Love that Bible memorization page! I need to make one too

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks Elga! Let me know how it turns out for you!

[@bibia336]

Thats what I am missing in my Bujo! My Bible notes!

[@yashny]

The work blocks idea is helpful

[@SpencerScottPugh]

for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@chevyschell7531]

Thank you, you're setup is what I've been searching for.

[@snjcracker]

Thanks for making this video. The KZbin hole brought me to this video one day in January 2019. Your video inspired me to give it a try and 6 months later I am about to complete my 1st journal. My work and home life has become more productive. Keep up the good work. Thanks again.

[@DiaMeraz]

Love this video! I live my life planning daily, and my husband wants to do the same, but is having a hard time figuring out what will work best for him. Can't wait to show him your video!

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Awesome! Let me know what he thinks!
