!!! When you said wife my entire heart lit up. 💖🥺 Also her bujo is so cool lmao I love the no-nonsense, hyper utilitarian layouts~☆

[BlushnBlue]

Why do I feel like I'm spying on someone's bujo...LOL. I wish I can do that small size by my handwriting is bigger than the notebook itself...not really but close to it. Thank you for sharing.

I have a really similar setup to your wife and loved the no-judgement-ness of you describing it as a task/time manager because I have seen multiple bujo creators who rip apart people who use bujo this way rather than as a journaling and self reflection tool.

This is it. I’ve been wanting to see a small one. I need large journals for mental health. For work they seem too big because a lot of what I have todo is already captured in work calendars in apps. Love her setups because they are simple and appear effective. Something busy people can do without pressure.

That's quite interesting ! Your and your wife's bullet journals are away from what i've seen before and much closer to what i want to do with mine :D Also, I've never though of writing down the song i have in my head when i wake up, i'll think ill give it a try !

I love using a smaller notebook. I moved “up” into hobonichi techo this year and it feels too much, weirdly. This was a great vid. I appreciate you and your channel even more after watching this!! Well done (and thanks to your wife for being willing to share!)

Thank you! I am getting started with a pocket sized bullet journal and, like your wife, I need a simple setup to stay organised. This video is inspiring and useful. Above all, seeing a setup similar to mine has given me a sense of belonging in the bullet journal community.

I love your wife's setup! I switched from an A5 to pocket size bujo a while ago, partly due to inspiration from this video. It's much less overwhelming for me, as the smaller size encourages me to focus only on the basics.

Awesome 👏🏿 I think I'll get started with the pocket size. It's very concise, plus for a moment i wont use too much stickers.

Thank you for allowing us to peep in both journals👍🏿😎👍🏿

Have a great weekend and/or week to you and loved ones ❤🙏🏿

[agnieszkacupial]

I love it so much that I`m thinking now to go for pocket size because i usually do not write so many things, also it is so minimalistic yet cover all i need and i can have in small bag 👌

Finally a very good weekly page that I want to try out.
My actual 2-day-on-one-side-version needs too much time to set up and sometimes there is too much unused space.
I really love the "only 3-5 tasks a day" rule, because you're happy when you finish all of your tasks. But if you haven't completed all of your tasks, it feels odd for the whole day.
With your wife's weekly page, I think I finally found something that could fit into my life as well.
Thank you and your wife for sharing this ❤

Wonderful and very interesting video! It’s great to see how others use their bullet journal!

I actually just started using a pocket notebook to accompany my A5 book. My pocket book is currently just for the daily tasks as a way to avoid feeling overwhelmed with my big A5 that I use for reflection and working through challenges. I’d dump a long list of the monthly tasks (from the A5) in the back of the pocket book, in 1 spread. And in the front use 1 spread per day for doing a few of the tasks in the morning and evening. Any tasks that don’t get done get migrated to the next daily spread, and I don’t flip back to the previous page (because I use a paperclip to get to the current page right away). I’m hoping I’ll see good results with this approach.

thanks, I'm going to try some of these things in my pocket notebook -- I've always waffled between the A5 and A6 (or Leuchtturm pocket), the space for writing vs. the portability etc etc. I love your humor...

[tfilipow]

This video is awesome. I love the info, the editing, and the music. Keep up the great work Simie!

[The.Steeped.Planner]

I love that video - that is soooo cool and interesting especially how her journal changed over time. thanks for sharing <3

[lazymusician]

I know this video is old but i loved it! I always go back and forth with small notebooks to larger notebooks. I can never make up my mind, hopefully in 2024 im make a decision 😂 i will subscribe

[hindenburg]

I never would’ve thought of using the back pocket of my pocket notebook as a wallet!

[Silver_the.cat.lady.]

I already liked you and then reading your wife’s journal I screamed I like you even more now

[vivienecost]

So cool to see a smaller notebook! I wish I could use one, but the lack of space (at least now) gives me a little anxiety 🥴 Maybe when I learn more about how I use the space in my current journal I´ll be able to try a smaller one
