Ipad Becomes the Perfect Bullet Journal

The Bullet Journal or Bujo, took the internet by storm when it was showcased by creator Ryder Carrol.
I have always found it to be an incredibly productive system with a few major drawbacks.
That is, until now... I have discovered that when set up correctly using your Ipad to create a Bullet journal solves every issue I had and makes for an amazingly engaging way of tracking your tasks.
Today I want to talk you through the steps you need to take to build the perfect Ipad Bullet Journal.
All you need is the Ipad, an Apple Pencil and the App Goodnotes 5.
I talk about the paid version in this video but the free version offers all the functionality but with a limit on the number of different notebooks, you can have at once.
Thanks for watching.

Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to create this video. This is the first digital bujo video I have come across that remains true to the essence of what is proposed in Ryder’s bullet journal book.

I’ve been dabbling with bullet journaling for a bit ever since my son introduced me to it. I am looking to get more serious with it, but I wanted to use my iPad mini instead of the pens and paper. I liked that you kept it simple and on point without the distracting whimsical art diversions that most of the other Journal videos are focused on. Not that there isn’t room for it, but basics first. I also liked the mentioning of reflection. I also greatly appreciate the focus mode idea for journaling and planning you proposed. I hadn’t considered that until you mentioned it.

Anyway you’ve earned a like an a subscription. 👍. Keep up the good work!

Can Good Notes 5 do what I want on an iPad mini 6, that is replicate my old logbook that I have used for years on paper? I devised my own custom logbook of numerous entry spaces that includes for example, blood pressure, prescription drug taken, work hours, books read - the list is long. Using the book let alone prepping it is so detailed that it is a time suck. I want to create a sort of database notebook that I can choose to ignore sections or fill everything out, maybe even hiding the parts that have zero information. Most of all I want to literally duplicate the appearance of the logbook I am very familiar with.

Old notebook...

Upsides..

U1. Suits *my* custom needs and can be changed as I go (unless I have already drawn the template for long periods)
U2. Nothing to learn because I have used it for years


Downsides...

D1. Cumbersome to search as in almost impossible
D2. Bulky and heavy to store old notebooks
D3. Cannot sort for example, a copy of all category B entries over a year
D4. mathematical errors of dates and day X out of day (total) in location Y

Again, I do not want to copy the Bullet journal, but instead my own variation

Sorry but I hoped when I click on this video to get more about the app … do I have to draw everything from the beginning?

And also transfer previous task all by hand?
