POCKET EDC BULLET JOURNAL

[@VaporwaveTears]

That front pocket will never not be genius to me! I used to not like pockets in inserts. Since once you’re done w/ the insert, the pocket goes away w/ it! 🤣 However, recently I’ve been needing to store specific papers & scraps w/ inserts. So now an insert pocket comes in clutch! Why I LOVE LOVE LOVE this system sm, it’s custom & DIYable. 🤩🥰🌟💫

[@SigogglinJack]

For sure 👍

[@dmud74]

Love the idea of the first and last page as pockets. Genius!

[@SigogglinJack]

Thank you very much!!

[@melanieannplans2666]

I love the notion of tracking purchases as needs versus wants! It's so simple, but I see how it can make a big difference. I'm in the process of changing up my planning system for the mid-year shift, and I'm going to give this a try. Thanks, Jack!

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks very much! Yes it’s been a big help for me to be more mindful about my spending. Thanks for watching!

[@PhilipStratton]

Glad I stumbled upon your video. I am teaching a personal finance class at church and we just covered the topic of developing a personalized system for tracking finances. We discussed the need to identify need vs want spending. I’m going to show them your video at our next class as an example of how someone can easily incorporate it into their daily routine. Thank you for sharing your setup.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks very much! I hope it goes well.

[@VaporwaveTears]

I rly like how you have a simpler set up! I’m one of those artsy girlies & decorate my planner/bujo. I deco for myself, since I’ve tried plenty of simpler setups & none ever worked. Up until I tried mixing in scrapbooking.🤩 Nonetheless, I’m very open minded & love seeing what others different from me do. It also gives me loads of Inspo on the functionality of my setup. Since it can be hard to find a planner that is both pretty & functional. I like to keep the bones simple, & embellishments maximal.🥳🤩😎✨

[@SigogglinJack]

I wish I were more artistic. I do occasionally glue a cigar band in😅

[@carolyncoppola974]

I found your channel, subscribed and am spending the afternoon binge watching your videos! You have SO many great tips/tricks I want to steal! First, the first page pocket - genius! Second - the spending tracker - my savior! Love the pen/ink section as all my lists are in 10 different places! Thank you so much! Can’t wait for more content. God bless you!

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks Carolyn. I really appreciate it!

[@yohanesliong4818]

Great video. Really like the pocket idea. Thank you.

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.

[@mike_qbik]

I like your crowded table. Perfect organized mess where everything has its place :-)

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@1517hutzel]

Your setup has influenced my pockets quite a lot since discovering your channel.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks for following along. I appreciate the support!

[@farmerfox3332]

Good video. I am a EDC user and like your content and i see your pipe collection which means you just got a new subscriber.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks very much!

[@birdnerd4302]

I was not aware of such things as a bullet journal this looks very useful to me as I’m very forgetful thanks for sharing

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks for watching!

[@LivingLife9295]

You've inspired me to get back into my pocket TN...really enjoying the smaller footprint and have a new pocket TN on its way!

[@SigogglinJack]

Awesome. Thanks so very much for watching.

[@SubUrbanNinja-EDC]

Looks like it went through a spring cleaning. Nice. I like the zippered pouch. Looks cool.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks buddy!

[@BrantleySmithNC]

Pocket notebooks, amateur radio, and pipes. I'm going to watch a few more. :) I love technology but also enjoy using paper notebooks. I go back and forth but ultimately land on digital. I do use paper notebooks as a scratch pad until I can enter data into my GTD system. Thanks for posting.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks for watching Brantley!

[@Klinkertinlegs]

Do I watch these lovely videos about traveler’s notebooks? Yes. Do I have, or will I use a traveler’s notebook? No.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks for watching!

[@edtepperphotoart2264]

Love your idea of making the pockets -- the simplicity is genius. QUESTION: Why not use a monthly calendar insert rather than drawing it into your journal? I ordered a passport size yesterday & I'm looking to use it instead of my big bullet journal book. Thanks!!!

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks for watching. Just for the fun of it. I really enjoy drawing out trackers and calendars. Otherwise I’d just use a premade one. Also I like customizing it to just what I want and nothing more. Thanks for watching.

[@dorindagaines4737]

I am glad I came across this video. The distant future log isn’t something I considered before today. And the pockets are something I also will be trying in my next set up.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thank you for watching my video. The distant future log came about when my wife let her passport expire. I’ve got my drivers license, passport, ham radio license and concealed carry license logged in mine.

[@Oddity.812]

Hell dude this is awesome!! Encouraged me to go out and get my own pocket notebook from the dollar store today just as a starter. Great idea mate, love the work you put into it

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks very much for watching. Best of luck with your new pocket notebook. Mine is my most used edc item.

[@georgia_adventurer]

Awesome Notebook Setup! I think the large one is an A5…really enjoy your channel

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks Randy. Really appreciate your channel too. Great stuff!

[@testinguk_Admin]

lol. You set up your passport exactly the way I have mine! I even used to have the Kraft folder in but took it out. It was good for loose stuff but just added bulk. I keep my credit card and license in the zippered pocket.

[@SigogglinJack]

Awesome. Great minds think alike! Thanks for watching

[@jnak974]

Ima store that pocket making technique into my brain folds for future use.

[@SigogglinJack]

[@Eagle608]

I'd like to learn how to create and use systems like these. Loved the video and you sharing your experiences and knowledge from using this over time. Subscribed (from Norway) and looking forward to watching more of your advice.

[@SigogglinJack]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for subscribing!

[@lurst]

The best way to learn and create these systems is to pick one, use it for a while and iterate on it, change things as you use it to match what you use it for.

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

Cool setup! Thanks for sharing!

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks buddy!!

[@markusdefaron7852]

[@iruleba]

Great video, such a neat set up. I wonder what you do with the booklets once you finish them. File, throw them away?

[@SigogglinJack]

I generally toss them. Destroy the evidence 😆 but I have kept a few of different kinds just as examples for videos. Thanks very much for watching.

[@RandysWSG]

I like that set up

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks Randy!

[@redhoundoom]

This is incredibly cool.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks!

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

Where did the little fabric insert come from? I'm fascinated by how you created the pockets. I would have never thought of folding the page over so it would be reinforced. But then, Im horrible at crafting. I like the tabletop color in this video. Is it a cover? It creates a real nice look. My Daddy had a pipe stand like that, although not nearly as many pipes.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks Teresa. The pouch is made by Moterm. I ordered it from Amazon. The table top cover is a vinyl gun cleaning mat. I found the pipe stand in an antique shop many years ago. Thanks so very much for watching.

[@manvstationery]

I like the kraft folder, but i use it like you use the pockets you make in the notebook. Great video

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks brother!

[@JosephDickson]

I use the standard size with one notebook for dailies and a second for everything else.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks!

[@bishir14]

does the knot from the elastic band bother you when write on that side of the journal?

[@SigogglinJack]

At first I thought it was going to but the back cover of the notebook is stiff enough that I don’t even notice it unless I’m really bearing down. Thanks for watching!

[@projectaesthetics5104]

I love the passport TN in theory, but for me it’s too large to fit in my pocket (very bulky) but if it has to be in a bag it may as well be the full size….

[@SigogglinJack]

Good point. Thanks for watching!

[@tanya25m]

The standard TN is the same length as A5 but not as wide. A5 is 148mm x 210mm, standard TN is 110mm x 210mm.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks. I really like the standard size. I’m using it as a cigar and whiskey journal. Thanks very much for watching!

[@tanya25m]

@@SigogglinJack I've been following your channel from the beginning & actually find myself looking forward to your videos. I also have 1 passport and 1 standard. I don't decorate, either. So, quite a few similarities lol. Thanks for the useful & entertaining videos!

[@SigogglinJack]

@tanya25m thank you 🙏. I very much appreciate your follow along! I think the passport is my favorite

[@tanya25m]

@@SigogglinJackit's a very enjoyable journey, so thank you 😊 Keep up the good work! I can't pick a favorite - I love them both!

[@joeychops]

Great video! What’s the cover you use and how do you keep the actual notebook from falling out?

[@SigogglinJack]

Hey thanks. This is the Traveler’s Company passport size and the bigger one is the standard size. The notebooks are bungeed in by an elastic cord. It works pretty good. I’ve got a playlist with videos showing the my setup. Thanks for watching Joey

[@MB_EDC]

Great video.... Thanks...

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks brother!

Where did you get the small stencil?

I found it on Amazon. It’s the Pacific Arc Pocket Master. I really like it.. thanks for watching Keith.

[@thewildlapiz703]

0:16 To answer your question, the journal larger than your A6 looks like an A5 to me.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks and thanks for watching.

[@enriquediaz7547]

Ever try a rocketbook ? Reusable & scannable? YMMV

[@SigogglinJack]

I sure have. I’ve tried a couple. I just didn’t gel with it. Great concept and I can see how someone who needs to archive or share notes might like it. It just wasn’t my thing. Thanks for watching

[@RagingHamster8330]

Would you not find all this information through your online banking?

[@SigogglinJack]

Sure. Thanks for watching!

[@Talk2Giuseppe]

You would... But it would never act as a reminder when you have a spending problem and this is front of you with ever expense. Helps to refresh your memory that you have a problem with buying too many wants and not having enough for your needs.

[@SigogglinJack]

Yup, 👍 you got it. For me, it’s a mindfulness exercise.

[@DadThatCooks]

What is the little square thing you use to rule with?

[@SigogglinJack]

[@CatawbaGuy]

I think the regular size is called a A5 slim.

[@SigogglinJack]

Sounds right. Thanks for watching!

[@sarah-janefoster6633]

The standard TN is roughly an A5 slim

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks Sarah. It’s a nice size. Really enjoying it. Thanks for watching!

[@Diyo0o_Miyo0o]

How many pages does this Notebook have , and it also looks like a6 ist this true? realy liked watching your video.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks! Each notebook has 60 sheets so 120 pages front and back. It’s the same size as a passport. I’m unsure of the size number. It’s Midori paper. I really like the paper quality.

It’s an A5 Slim.

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks and thanks for watching.

[@Eugensson]

Yeah, that's an abomination of a format, which kinda tries to mimic a paper boarding pass size. Vertically it is an A5, horizontally it is a nonsense :)

[@SigogglinJack]

I think I’m liking an A5 better. It’s just a bit too narrow. Thanks for watching. It does fit in my sling bag though. Thanks for watching!

[@plausible.deaniability]

cool video thank you!

[@SigogglinJack]

[@VaporwaveTears]

I’m not a huge fan of the plastic inserts. I used to love them, but their novelty has worn off on me. 😅 Their zipper bulky & sharp. I’ve cut myself & indented my cover multiple times. I also find they don’t last as long. 2 YTers I’ve seen own one for 8+ years find it yellows & falls apart over time. Ig the plastic gets brittle & UV gets to it.🫤 Fabric inserts are best, imo. Since they last longer & are more repairable. I make my own since Ik how to sew. I love your setup! 🤩

[@SigogglinJack]

I’m looking forward to seeing how the fabric one works out for me. It looks classier than the plastic one. Thanks

[@Musicandcoffee247]

A little chapstick rubbed on those zipper teeth will smooth it up some.
