Plan With Me | Bullet Journal!

[@tiffanythompson5925]

I really like that you flipped through your old notebooks! It shows how your style has progressed and that your notebooks didn't always look like they do now. So many of us are inspired by you, and we need to understand that you've been doing this process since Y2K (wow!!!), and that when we start our first pages they aren't going to look like we've been journaling for almost 20 years. We will learn through the process and we just need to begin! :)

[@mariethatsme]

Amy - I kept notebooks like that for years and years too! I plan to show mine in my next bullet journal vid. I just put up my 5 fav bujo supplies vid but I'm itching to share more. This morning I was wishing there were a bullet journal videos out there that show a combo of function, creativity and imperfection. Seeing your already loved book with great functions but still a rippled page here and there was so inspiring to me! When I watch videos of bullet journals that are basically works of art and not exactly something you jot in real quick I get discouraged about my own book. It's an intimidating world! I love watching systems that are functional for productivity, so seeing a successful business woman like yourself keeping one, has scratched that itch! THANK YOU!

[@manzstar1]

bitsandclips Marie, make sure you join the bullet journal junkies Facebook group, you'll get loads of inspiration. 😊🤓

[@mariethatsme]

manzstar1 yep I'm a member!

[@amytangerine]

Oh Marie!! So fun to hear - YAY! I remember someone asking me a long time ago what I planned on doing with all my journals. Little did I know they would be so fun to share on KZbin!! XO

[@valmomstertv]

I really love that you show the real journal, with all of its scrapes and in this case water spots. It's inspiring that you have a more imperfect style which actually makes it more beautiful and interesting. A lot of bullet journallers and journals are very intimidating but I feel inspired by yours to not be as worried about getting the perfect lines and such. Not to say that yours is bad, entirely the contrary! Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for YOU! :) I've loved all of your work.

[@amytangerine]

That is SO kind! Thank you - so glad you're feeling inspired. I learned to embrace imperfections early on due to the fact I make a lot of mistakes! HAHA

[@kelly-janes]

Loved this video!! I loved how you are embracing the water damage to your journal! Sometimes even those imperfections can bring back memories...in the years to come you may have.flashbacks to when Jack was this age all because of the water damage to your journal. This is way off topic (haha!) but when my son, Aidan, was 2 or 3 years old he had this little tricycle that he got for his birthday from his grandparents. His birthday is in January and we live in Indiana and there was no way he could ride it outside, so we let him ride it in the house all winter long. There are little marks on our hardwood floors from the tires (that no one would ever notice but me HAHA!) and initially I was a little panicked about them, but now each time I see one I'm reminded of him at that age. It's amazing how the littlest things can spark a memory! He's 9 years old now and those little tire marks warm my heart in a way!! I try to embrace the concept of imperfections into my crafting too (as I know you do too!) Always learning. Always growing! :)

[@amytangerine]

Aww, love that!!!

[@davejennmi]

I have been using a Bullet Journal for a year and a half now and it has been life changing! Dramatic but true! I used to write things down on random pieces of paper, different notebooks and sticky notes, even napkins or backs of receipts if that's all I had. It was a disorganized mess and I couldn't find things I'd written down. The Bullet Journal has saved me and helped me be more organized. I started in a cheap but cute Target notebook and I was in love from the beginning. It all made total sense to me. When my notebook was filled I thought I'd switch to using a TN so I could have different subjects in different notebooks. This didn't work for me so I bought the dotted Leuchtturm 1917 and love it! I still might use one small TN (that I can slip in the back pocket of the Leuchtturm) for my collections - books, TV shows, movies, etc. Thanks so much for doing this video! I loved seeing your old journals - you were Bullet journaling before it was a thing!! Glad you've joined the Bullet Journal community! (My favs are Boho Berry, Tiny Ray of Sunshine and the Bullet Journal Junkies group on FB.)

[@AntiquingArkansas]

I'm so happy to see you bullet journaling! You are off to a fabulous start. Although I love the worn in look, I think the water damage won't even be noticeable after march. You will see how your book edges evolve from use and it will just blend in with the happy usage. 😊

[@amytangerine]

Aww, thank you Erin!!

[@nataliagabrea]

Love it Amy! You are going to have so much fun. I love my BuJo. I did it for six months without a planner but then realized I spend too much time drawing out my week. I now use a planner and a BuJo.

[@susanharkema2888]

Hi Amy: Thank you for your walk through. I appreciate that you gave details on how you think and sharing real items from your BuJo -- like gratitude and goals. It's always helpful to see how people think through their needs. Love that you kept all those journals and you were doing "BuJo" before it was hip! Glad to find your channel and your approachable style.

[@amytangerine]

Aww, thanks Susan! And welcome!!

[@StephMurray]

You are the OG bullet journaller! Amazing and so neat that you still have them.

[@kristikortman5443]

This is great! I have damaged notebooks in my purse in the same way... as a paper lover it bums me out, BUT overall it's evidence that I am using it and in the future, it won't bother me at all. Enjoy the process and I hope to see future videos on this subject.

[@clairemurphy4563]

Your journal is AMAZING and is exactly the sort of Bujo that I would love to set up. Thanks so much for the inspiration Amy x

[@amytangerine]

Thank you, Claire!!

[@manzstar1]

Amy, you need to join the bullet journal junkies Facebook group. There's over 90,000 members and everyone is so welcoming and helpful. If you have a question you'll definitely get an answer and you'll get loads of ideas for pages and spreads.

[@amytangerine]

Definitely in it! LOVE

[@HannahLopezDandalion2002]

loved seeing what you are doing to stay focused this year!! Looks so good so far. Your old notebooks look so much like what I have been doing the past couple of years keep track of all my youtube and crafting things. Can't wait to see more later as you figure what really works over the year.

[@TracieClaiborne]

I absolutely love this! My friend, Doris Sander, has been telling me for a long time that I should do bullet journaling but there are so many examples online it made my head spin and I didn't really "get it." Seeing yours makes me understand this style better. Thanks for taking the time to figure that all out so I didn't have to! Ha ha! This is just perfect for you. I may have to try this. Cannot wait to get your book and talk to you about it!

[@amytangerine]

Thanks Tracie! That Doris is a smart one, love her. You should definitely try bullet journaling - so fun!!

[@Scrapstorian]

I loved this look into your bullet journal! (I also love Bobo Berry's videos.) Mine is far from traditional but the beauty of a bullet journal is the ability to make it personal. 😊 I love that you chose to watercolour your titles; it looks so "you".

[@amytangerine]

Thank you!! And agree with you on the beauty of bullet journals!

[@S58885]

I think I have been searching for something like this but wasn't sure what it was called. I have tried planners for years but decorating it or making sure that all my days were scheduled was a lot of pressure! Some times youtube is a blessing and a curse when you see all these pretty stickers but know in your heart that you're never going to set time aside to use them. Thanks so much for this video!

[@amytangerine]

HAHA, I feel you!!

[@Shifther404]

I like the idea of folding and taping pages with private info on them.

[@tamara_anne]

That flip through your 2002 planner was so interesting to see! Such a long time ago, I was only 9 then! haha

[@amytangerine]

HAHAHA! Way to make me feel old ;)

[@sanha5191]

I was 2 🤣

[@mommylhey]

Amy, since we work with a lot with computers and we are so exposed to many different types of energies, I suggest keeping a black tourmaline crystal in your office area and keep one with you also a necklace perhaps. It works magic for me. Namaste Bright Soul!!!!!! Keep shining!!!!

[@amytangerine]

Interesting! Will look into the crystal for sure.

[@pennalee]

so glad you dont mind making mistakes/imperfections. I really struggle with this. 😊

[@zooksten]

Ah! Love your bullet journal! I just started this year also and love it also. After 2 weeks I have already made some changes to how I use the daily/weekly spread. What I love best about it is how you can change it along the way and figure out what works best for you. I'm sooo looking forward to following your bullet journal journey Amy tan!!!!

[@amytangerine]

Aww, thanks Janet! I have made some tweaks too. It will be fun to see how these evolve!!

[@pamistyle]

so great to flip through the old calendars! you invented #bulletjournaling !!!

[@amytangerine]

HAHAHA

[@Enthusiasticallydawn]

I have the nail/cuticle habit struggle! I love your habits for mental health, healthy boundaries. That is a BIG ongoing challenge! Oh, I think you might like my spontaneous "Check In". I shared it on Instagram Monday this week. ;) I love the BUJO system, it really is a helpful addition to my journaling lifestyle! Congrats on your book and book launch! I am also a neutral (black, grey) girl for the Bujo. BUT, who knows what the future holds. I keep mine straightforward BUT love Ryder's simple presentation of this fabulous system.

[@nicolestark3316]

Jumped on Amazon and bought your book - can't wait to receive it. Yay! Love ya girl!

[@amytangerine]

Aww thanks Nicole!! You'll have to let me know what you think!

[@stylesformiles79]

Great inspection! I am yet to create my 2017 "book" Thanks for all the great ideas!

[@carolmelancon]

Love your journal journey. I'm a terrible cuticle picker, too. Especially if I get a hangnail at work, I used to "bite and rip" which usually never ended well (bleeding and pain). Maybe everyone knows about these, but last year I was whining about a hangnail at work and a lovely coworker said she had a travel cuticle nipper in a drawer. (This one is good quality - Cuticle Clipper by Premax.) Eureka! I bought 5 as soon as I got home. I have one in my purse, work bag, travel kit, nightstand, and bathroom.

[@racheltompkins3264]

Hi Amy. I've been doing the bullet Journaling thing for six months. Actually I took a stab three years ago but lost inspiration as I was only doing the bare bones task list. I was reinspired by boho berry and I'm loving my bullet journal. it's part planner part scrapbook part journal and all me :) It's great to spend time on it and focus on my goals. All the best with your "bujo" journey. I am so excited to read your book. I'm in New Zealand thou so dunno if Amazon will ship it to me.. if you've got a distributor in Australia that might be the better way for me to get my hands on it :D

[@keread7]

1. Here's a question for you, Amy. One that's always had me curious about what people choose to do with it in their bullet journaling. What do you do when you fill up a list page? Like for example, your gratitude page. What's your plan for when that page gets full? Add a tip-in? Or start a new page elsewhere in the journal for that same list? 2. I totally bite & pick my cuticles too. It goes hand in hand with my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which I'm medicated for & see a therapist, but I still do it & it's a HORRIBLE HABIT! I want to quit so bad because I want to start filming process videos & not have my hands look awful. 3. I'd love to hear more about the boundaries & not letting other people downgrade your positivity. I struggle with that on a daily basis. I try to just distance myself from the negativity, but you know that's easier said than done. 4. I LOVE the page folding idea for private information! GENIUS!

[@amytangerine]

1. I plan on doing a gratitude page every month. So yeah, fill up a page and make another one elsewhere :) 2. Let's keep each other accountable! I have been doing it ever since I was in junior high, so since puberty. Which is a VERY long time! 3. It is a daily practice. I will try and elaborate more on that, but honestly I think I talk about it quite a bit throughout my book, Craft a Life You Love 4. Thanks!!

[@Idkwtd33]

Love your personality and the way your bullet journal is personalized. 💕✨

[@Idkwtd33]

And congrats on your book launch! I'm subscribed and watching your other videos. You're so awesome and positive.

[@amytangerine]

Thank you so much!!

[@shannonsullivan]

I love seeing your old planners. :) I just started bullet journaling so I was excited to see this! The habit tracker is a great idea. And CONGRATS on your book, I can't wait to get it!!!

[@amytangerine]

Thanks Shannon!! Yay for bullet journaling together - we can keep each other on track :)

[@kindmeanbristol808]

really great set up Amy - I have been keeping a bullet journal for almost 2 years?! not dissimilar to yours... although my lettering isn't as cool. But yes, it is amazing and def something I will always do. It is great you can tailor / adapt to your own needs. Thanks for sharing your old books, too :)

[@Madde3333]

Inspirational! Seeing your resilience and perseverance is awesome.

[@heartcraftcreations3618]

Love it that you bullet journal!!! your simple black/grey spreads rock! and so does the watered book!!! that's life!!! real and genuine! and I also love that you don't use nail polish!! :-)

[@amytangerine]

Aww thanks - I hate the way my nails look, but I am trying to keep them just buffed. Problem is that I pick when I don't have polish on!!

[@eileen-ezlivinglearning9415]

Just found your videos. Love them.. I love that you found bullet journaling. Enjoy. I would suggest more colour but your do your own style that suits you. One other idea is tacking your time. Number a timeline 1 through 12 2xs and colour in your activity time. Like sleep, how long your worked on a project, block off appontment times. It works and makes you aware daily of where your time is spent. You are indeed busy lady.

[@amytangerine]

Awesome, thanks for the tip. Definitely added some color as I proceeded. Love this system!

[@karengroff2607]

You have inspired me so much. Thank you for sharing all your great ideas. Hopefully I can succeed at incorporating some into my life.

[@christinuhlaam]

Your book looks wonderful! So bright, happy and fun! I will be purchasing one for my little sister and myself as well! :D

[@amytangerine]

Awesome, thanks Christina!

[@shedaydream6739]

Me I just start bullet journaling this april 2017 and I'm into scrapbooking then I love the fact that you can remember every single so I decided to document through journaling so I don't need to decor a lot of stuffs 😊

[@inpapertime8697]

Kara from @Boho Berry is also one of my faves. Great video tfs!!!

[@heartcraftcreations3618]

Oh! and besides Boho Berry who is a bullet journal "professor", you could check out Artist Explores The World for her beautiful headers, dividers, banners!

[@michelleharris312]

OMG! I feel like such a kindred spirit, you must be a Pisces lol. I also keep my planners from the past, they provide detailed experiences that I can revisit and I reflect upon my growth as a woman, partner and mom. And, my word for 2017 is FOCUS also. I plan to have sub-themes for each month that drive my focus for success in all spheres of my wonder-filled life. I have an idea, maybe have an online retreat based on themes in your new book (which i ordered today :D). Cheers! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@amytangerine]

Oh love all of this! I am a Libra ;)

[@Bluebird_Legacy]

you are amazing! Don't forget it! You are sharing and being very vulnerable to share what or who you are. Your book looks fantastic. I'm headed over to amazon to pick it up. Supporting authors, artists, and musicians, is such a good idea. I really love the watermarks, and "lived in" look! While I art journal and make hand made journals, I have never done bullet journaling, you have now inspired me. Did you say what the Journal is that you are using?

[@amytangerine]

Aww, you are too sweet. I don't know how to pronounce it but everything is linked in the description box, thanks!!

[@easte36]

You should check out brush pens! They give a watercolor affect but it's a lot cleaner 🖌

[@debsmith7050]

Seems we may have been in Atlanta at the same time :) University Prof for me. I have a similar setup - never was too concerned about what to call it .... Yours looks great & I agree the daily bumps and bruises for wear and tear are simply part of the history of you

[@melodyintheair5729]

I loved the lettering you did in your journal! I think the gratitude spread is really nice~ I should make a spread like that XD

[@Thevietvegan]

Haha that little extra blooper at the end XD

[@SeaweedKisses]

I love this, Amy! It's so nice and refreshing seeing planners/journals like these!

[@nancygenova4670]

Just discovered your chancel while searching for planner ideas and systems! I enjoyed today's video !

[@amytangerine]

Thanks and welcome!

[@ImToxicAndAddictive]

i have the same leuchtturm notebook, it's so pretty and positive, makes me happy every time i look at it :D xx

[@rosielawson6035]

Amy - I love your journals! How do you manage to not get too 'precious' over them? I often get 'new sketchbook phobia'.

[@amytangerine]

I have SO many blank or mostly empty journals. I find the most joy in filling them up and enjoying the process along the way. I would rather have something messy or something I don't necessarily love than just blank pages. I hope this helps!!

[@rosielawson6035]

Totally! Thank you! :)

[@annikajoechler4509]

So a lovely video! Congratulations on your book I immediately looked it up on the German Amazon and it is already available there, too :)

[@ninabee6980]

This is so cute and definitely makes me want to do something similar, definitely to store memories in as well as life gets crazier and I feel like I'm losing track of all of the things that happen. Also, in the beginning of a book it would be a table of contents, in the back is the index :) at least typically...but it doesn't really matter haha, just since you were searching for what it's called I figured I'd mention :) also I LOVE the habit tracking page. What an excellent idea. I loved this. Lots of great, realistic goals to work toward a happier, more successful life. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm eyeing a journal I just bought that's sitting on the table next to me itching to get started!

[@mslizzied1]

Love this video! I save all my notebooks and planners too. Might you do any book events in the US?

[@amytangerine]

I might! Doing one in Scottsdale, AZ on Sunday. Sometimes they come up quickly, and others take a bit more planning.

[@Skermit12]

Great video... and so glad I found a fellow cuticle picker lol! The struggle is real when you do videos with your hands lol!;)

[@amytangerine]

HAHAHAHA

[@amyanda]

I gotta get your book! my name is Amy too!!

[@beckyobeck]

This is awesome... Thank you for sharing. Planner peace is different for everyone! :D

[@ann-marielofberg1159]

I also saved my old books/diaries and sometimes it’s fun to read how things were.

[@amytangerine]

Love looking back on these!

[@ann-marielofberg1159]

Did You mean my books or Your books

[@katherineroberts415]

Great timing! I'm also starting to bullet journal. Are your headings all with watercolour or have you also used your Tombow pen? Saw that in your Instagram post.

[@amytangerine]

Hi Katherine - it's with Tombow. Decided it was a better way to go - no smudging, unless of course I get it wet, but I don't plan on making that mistake twice!

[@Imperviouslady8]

I saw the cta card, we don't have those anymore lol

[@amytangerine]

How fun! A collector's item ;)

You can insert on each page another sheet, like a sandwich and put on a lot of books 📚! Than you'll have your bullet so perfect and beautiful like a new book kiss have a good night

[@skyfitsheaven7393]

I've been to Japan several times but never saw the stamps, where did you get them?

[@amytangerine]

They are tucked away in train stations - you can usually ask someone and they have them at the ticket offices in some locations.

[@yupyup1562]

What pen do you use for the large print?

[@amytangerine]

Tombow Marker - bit.ly/2j2aHjk - it is in the description box too

[@yupyup1562]

Amy Tangerine Oh ok. Sorry I wasn't sure which one. Thank you.

[@leevolaski1703]

Love it.

[@maigretdeherdt]

Does anybody know why the (for example) Filofax is not more often used as a bullet journal? With this more flexible system, you can replace the pages and regroup pages by subject for example... I see a lot of people use a standard notebook, so I am just wundering why ... ☺️

[@annikajoechler4509]

I can only speak from my experience. For me my bullet journal is a tool I can take everywhere, that isn't too bulky and handy on the other side, which I can fold up and start writing. I find this things difficult to do with a Filofax for several reasons. My old Filofax was about 50$, so I would look after it very good and wouldn't take it with me everywhere. Second my fake moleskine laid flat from the beginning, with a filofax this isn't the case and when I just wanted to jot something down really fast, the rings where always in my way and just bothering me. But another system I think could be practical for bullet journaling is a discbound system. The "rings" there from most of the suppliers are much more smaller and you can add or remove pages really easy. Sorry for mistakes, English is not my mother language :)

[@maigretdeherdt]

Annika Joechler - thank you for you reply. No problems at all with your txt. 😊
