One Guy's Bullet Journal | Second Flip Through of A Man's Bullet Journal

[@tuaparulian4975]

I don't journal to be honest. I watch this kind of video simply for entertainment and I find this highly entertaining.

[@markyourpages]

I am good with that :-) I appreciate the support.

[@planetawkward4069]

I love that you try different things and designs all the way through. I have been doing that with tracking my health metrics in one book alone and it has freed me so much from fear of stuffing up.

[@karihuitt9754]

I would love to see your supplies, even the ones that you tried and failed plus ones that you can't live without!

[@markyourpages]

I have a video idea on this idea. I will be working on it in the near future.

[@wazidul4373]

8:49 this is so cool!! Would love an in depth tutorial and how these work

[@markyourpages]

I did a video a few years back. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGrOiWuDbq6seKMsi=OFQHf3JC5-NmsBEn

[@donnadixon8065]

I like the succulent page u said was ugly. You're better than me, I'm not an artist so I like the functional better. I'm a woman, but I still like the functional better. I had daytimer first but gave it away to the thrift shop and then I had Happy Planner; too expensive and not enough room to write. Then I decided to try Bullet Journal again because I don't have to lug around the heavy planner and it works with any notebook. I do like different color washi tapes but now I have too many and barely use them. But I like yours because its more functional and I like the different ways you do your spreads. I got a lot of good ideas from you. Thank you!

[@markyourpages]

Thanks so much for checking out the video. Functional is great. I find that it's all about how you work vs male or female. And I hear you on the washi. As much as I like them... i just dont use them as often.

[@planetawkward4069]

I liked the succ page too.

[@reginagrobosz8807]

I liked the cacti quite a lot 👍✌️

[@markyourpages]

Haha, thanks :-)

[@jbloveday9538]

Love the idea of an open page list - I just started doing that the other day but instead of a sticky note, I wrote them in the index in pencil as ‘blank page’, to be written over when the page was used. I like your sticky note much better! Thanks!

[@markyourpages]

That's a great idea! Honestly, it's all about trying different ways to make it work for you. Eventually you wont need it at all once you have it down.

[@Chgtuber]

Really liked the note to yourself to just turn the page. Your attitude is pleasant because you let it out and moved to your good space and creativity. Also your comment that your wife gave you paints, which sounds so supportive. Thanks for putting your experience out for others :-)

[@budgetwithjosie]

Very creative! It is nice to look back and reminisce your work! 👍

[@markyourpages]

Thank you! Yes I love to do these. So fun.

[@vpgreg]

Really enjoyed this, thank you.

[@markyourpages]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@cjazzist]

Totally did find some inspiration. You showcased so many different kinds of layouts and ideas and you're willing to try out different things and change it up. This video is a treasure trove. Thanks for sharing!

[@markyourpages]

Awesome! Thank you! One of my favorite things about a blank bullet journal is trying new layouts

[@kaylatotheletternetwork6210]

I love your "brass tacks" approach to this. I love to see all the creatives out there with their beautiful and artistic spreads. I am an artist too, but honestly.. When it comes to organizing my life and business, I just don't have time to make all of those beautiful spreads. I need a planner to function as efficiently as possible without having to spend all my time setting it up to try and make it beautiful. Your channel is SO helpful!

[@markyourpages]

Thank you so much!

[@ikbenreowin]

Wow this was really nice to watch. I felt like I'd watched ALL of the bujo videos out there, but then I stumbled upon this! (btw, I am a woman who bullets, but not terribly interested in the intricate designs that a lot of youtubers create). I love that you experimented with different lay outs and it definitely gave me a ton of ideas. Thanks so much!

[@markyourpages]

Thanks for checking it out. Even though my name is MenWhoBullet I’m very much an equal opportunity journaler - I’m here for the more minimalistic functional crew. Sometimes throwing in some design. :-)

[@qingyew9849]

it's fun to watch this video.. lots of inspiring ideas to kick start bujo.. thx for sharing this

[@markyourpages]

You are so welcome! I have a few of these videos for you with many more ideas :-) Thanks for checking this one out.

[@qingyew9849]

@@markyourpages thx will chk it out ☺️

[@MarkNealJr]

I got my first journal last year. I got the one with dots in case I wanted to draw in it. A few weeks ago I got a journal with lines because I used it mainly for writing... Now I see what the "journal with dots" was for! I started getting the bullet journal video recommendations a few weeks too late!! This is really cool. I may have to get the journal with dots again!

[@markyourpages]

Thanks for checking out the video. There are a lot of different ways to bullet journal or create your own planners. I was actually thinking of doing a video of setting up a bullet journal in a lined notebook.

[@MarkNealJr]

@@markyourpages that would be a great video to watch!

[@planetawkward4069]

I’m thinking of trying a grid lined journal. I find sometimes it’s hard to stay in the grids when using a table to track stuff. So I found myself drawing in the lines and I don’t have the time or energy for that. With grid I would have the lines and the reference points. If you get my drift.

[@vivi.laserra]

I really liked the way the running lists turned out, probably gonna use it myself.

[@markyourpages]

I love a good running list!! Let me know how it works out for you

[@kimberlyh8201]

Very cool! Would you consider making a video with detailed looks at your different time tracking spreads?? They’re fascinating and I’m always looking for new ideas!

[@markyourpages]

Yeah I can add the idea to my content list.

I love these 'flashback' vids! Lots of interesting ideas!!!

I would like more info on the hex time blocking. I looked online and nothing helpful surfaces.

Check out this dedicated video I did for it. Hopfully it’s more helpful. Let me know. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGrOiWuDbq6seKM

Hey, just happened to be watching this on...February 23rd! Since you like hexagons, you might like the video from Vihart called Hexaflexagons. I like your content. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

[@markyourpages]

I'll check it out! Thank you.

[@mjmjve]

Hi Mark- enjoy videos. I have a video suggestion - One thing I've always struggled with is digital vs analog. What data to keep in each like paper planning and sensitive data storage and referencing in something like OneNote or Notion etc?. Just a thought. I haven't seen any videos on that at all.

[@markyourpages]

This is a great idea Mike. I just added it my backlog to dive in deeper. You make a really great point on what goes where and some of it for every good reason!

Thank you! You too!

[@reisscc1]

Do you recommend having both or is just one suitable?

[@markyourpages]

Not sure what you are referring to? Can you give me more info?

[@Lexibellington]

Interesting. My partner bullet journals kind of like you. He is a lot more practical than me. I doodle a lot in mine and make lists upon lists. As a female, I found this video very interesting.

[@markyourpages]

That’s awesome. It’s all about what you need and your style. I love the diversity

[@aralaiso]

I thought a men would do a more minimalist bullet journal. I was wrong. I don't see any difference between women bullet journal and yours.

[@markyourpages]

We all change in style and approach over time. I'm just one guy doing his thing over here.

[@Zoe-kk5zd]

I’m really torn about this because distinguishing this as a MANS bujo makes it seem like someone has a real fragile masculinity, but in the other hand it’s full of interesting methods and cute doodles. Great videos. Channel name rubs the wrong way. ( “a guys” wash tape. Really?)

[@markyourpages]

You are very on point. I struggle with it too. I’ve come to better recognize it as a style vs gender. As a guy in a very female heavy community, I get a lot of questions about my style as a guy, so the title is more for those searching for a guys perspective on the system versus. The channel / account name is an area that I’ve looked into reconsidering too, as I know it has turned people off from engaging with me. But once they do, they realize that I’m not close minded, instead trying to stand out as a smaller group of the community. I hope you understand.

[@Zoe-kk5zd]

@@markyourpages I was really hooding that to be the case- thanks for being such a cool person :)

[@Hugh_Hunt]

I really like these videos, great seeing your style attempt after attempt. But if you are actually using a bujo, and every week it different... You are craftbooking, not bullet journaling

[@markyourpages]

Hey there Hugh. Appreciate you watching. I haven’t heard the term craft booking before. I’ll have to look into it. The only thinking that I change is my approach or layout of my weekly of daily collections, so maybe someone could say I’m making a custom planner. My approach may look a bit different than how you might approach it - but at the foundation we are the same. I actively use my core collection pages (index, future log, monthly, weeklies, dailies). I use rapid logging and signifiers to identify and prioritize my tasks, notes, and events. I migrating weekly and monthly to keep myself on point, and also creating collection pages of liked content. Aside from adding some extra design to a weekly, I’m curious on why you would say that this isn’t my bullet journal? And I hope that doesn’t sound argumentative, that’s not my approach, but I am genuinely interested in understanding your comment.

[@Hugh_Hunt]

@@markyourpages Quoting Kayla "I just don't have time to make all of those beautiful spreads. I need a planner to function as efficiently as possible without having to spend all my time setting it up to try and make it beautiful." So again, thank your for your efforts; saves me lots of troubleshooting to find an efficient plan. However, The basic concept of bullet journals are to make life more efficient by visualizing your daily, weekly, monthly and yearly obligations, helping you to hold yourself accountable. Spending hours per year redesigning layouts is counterproductive to to the core concepts of bullet journaling. Don't believe me? Start a habit tracker "time spent bujo'ing" then think about the tasks your could be completing, or the people you could be spending that time with... Or it terms of the business you are building; Income divided by Time.

[@markyourpages]

​@@Hugh_Hunt Thanks for further explaining your point of view. I better understand your perspective on the method and perhaps how you manage your own journal for yourself. Wishing you all the best on your approach and what works for you.
