Hi friends!

Thank YOU so much for 1K subscribers!!! 🥳😍❤️❤️✨I am so happy and grateful for this. I will continue to work hard. Thank you for watching, commenting, liking, and subscribing. I DEEPLY appreciate you all. 💝

Today I'll be discussing fundamental bullet journal mistakes. I have been bullet journaling for over 4 years now and I think it's safe for me to share my two cents on what people can get wrong with this journaling system. Like I've mentioned above, these are my PERSONAL mistakes. They may not apply to you! Especially if you're creative with your journal 🙊 hehe sorry

Well, I hope this video can help you in some way. I just wanted to share my trials and tribulations in hopes that that can help you figure out how best to make this method work for you!

Let me know what other bujo content you'd like to see - I'm all ears 🤗

Happy bullet journaling, and like I always say, bullet journaling is a practise - not a means to perfection 📓❤️✨

Love always,

Just a reminder for a random person reading this: You're not everyone. If you see everyone is doing a trendy spread, then:
Bullet Journal is your safe and personal space. You’re NOT everyone. Ask yourself: I want that, because it made me curious if it works for me and how will it work for me or I want that because everyone wants that?

1. Cluttering my pages
-> do not safe space in the name of sacrificing your sanity
2. Performance over practicality
-> get real with yourself and set ground rules
3. Setting up daily logs way ahead of time
-> do not set them up in advance
4. Including unnecessary spreads
-> only make spreads you'll use
5. Having an unclear purpose
-> take a step back, do an assessment with you bujo

"A bullet journal is a tool. Not a measure of success."
Brilliant!

[samanthadanielle]

I was also doing it wrong... lol! Practicality over aesthetic!! We honestly don’t need that much stationery!

[georgiabender]

“have you personally encountered any of them?” yes, all of them. i’ll try to switch things up, keep it simple, practical. thank you for the tips :)

[taylorurban]

thank you for making this! this is way more realistic to me, than the ones that i have been seeing on tiktok, or pinterest.. i am NOT artistically inclined, and this makes me feel way better about my abilities. it makes me think i can do this too, and it's not something that needs a whole lot of thought, or artistic tone.

[ChooaBunny]

I feel like the biggest tip is: make it work for you.
For me the some of the tips in this video don't work at all, I'm a very artistic person and use the bullet journal as a way to convince myself to be productive. If it's pretty I end up wanting to follow it and my daily goals stop being as much of a chore because with each task completed I get to color or draw something. For me it's kind of a reward system and it works really well.
Looking for tips is great and can help you find your style, but make your bullet journal something that works for you, not something that work for others!

You’re so good at explaining things huh🥰💖

[ArborParva]

It's the other way round for me: aesthetics over practicality. I've noticed that I don't really complete any lists in my bujo but creating a good-looking spread helps me to unwind and clear my mind. So now it's a mix of a diary, art journal and expenses tracker. I still call it a bujo lol for the lack of a better name 🙃

[Stormbrise]

My bullet journals became a productive procrastination process. I dumped them all together and went with clean page layouts, and a week layout planners.

[melindalee]

I have gone to a minimal based journal now. I use a monthly calendar, then at the begining of each week I list the jobs that I need to get done. I just do a date then write. If I miss a day that is ok. I use color for my montly calendars and washi tape at the bottom. I am not even using the trackers now as I did not find them helpful. I love looking at all journals but I now find it just a way to relax. My journal is for me and noone else.

[aestheticallyhobi]

Bullet journaling isnt suppose to be aesthetic!! Whatever you create is already beautiful enough

[anitalee]

Ugh. Thank you so much. I bought this amazing journal and I’ve barely touched it and done nothing but shame myself. Since, I haven’t been able to get past the “aesthetic.”

[missflorathewriter]

This is two years later, but I absolutely love this video's message, thank you so much! I havent been journaling for almost the whole year and i couldnt figure out why. I needed this reminder!

[VeronicasVisions]

This is so me! I work full time and I’ve tried the pretty bullet journal themes but i can’t keep up! I thought it was going to be a fun and creative project but turned into a stressful thought process trying to one up each month. Your video helped me not feel so bad anymore. It taught me its ok to make my own simple journal.

[ArtyGeek]

For me along with planning, Bujo is a great way to add something artsy in my day and it also helps me relax and wind down! But I know that's not how it is for everyone

[heatherbryant]

I love the idea that white space is as much a part of the spread as the text. So helpful! Thank you

[E-wn]

I like that you’re not about aesthetics cos most of the journaling videos are always so intricate and aesthetic which to me is time consuming and I can’t sacrifice that much time to do it. I can do simple things and yet still make it look neat and get stuff done. I love that you focused on that, thank you

[Axooll]

ohh, I've just started bullet journaling because I have ADHD and I need something to help me with routine, deadlines and everything. So i'm thankful to have watched this video first, now I know what I should have in mind when journaling, thank you so much!!

[ludlowvics]

I was trying so hard to make it aesthetic and to add as many page fillers that i didnt even want to use, i just thought they were cute? im so glad ive found your channel, as a lot of bullet journal channels will always advertise aestehtuc etc
