I like tassels. 😅 I used them to find my dailies and monthly log. Now that I'm using a nuuna without them, I use a selfmade bookmark with habit reminders and grid spacing guide. 😊

For numbered pages, you can just number the pages as you go. I did this for years in bujos and in other notetaking books for school, it worked really well. I don't understand why anyone numbers all of the pages all at once.

I'm a fan of A5 binders and loose pages.

This was an awesome list! Very important tips for successfull BuJoing. For beginners, yeah but great reminders for more advanced BuBoers. Over complicating stuff happens easily without focusing to keeping it simple enough.

I wanted to keep watching but had to turn this off after 2-1/2 minutes. The dot matrix grid undulating in the background started making me super motion sick! Why use a graphic like that? Maybe consider keeping it still in future videos for larger user-friendly-effect.

Hello Tyler，I was attracted by this video at first due to my journaling ideas reference. Then I read the blog and one thing after another saw the notion of your project done overview. Just out of curiosity 🙋 is your fiction novel never been shared yet and will it be released someday？

I just cannot wrap my mind around any of this. How OCD do you have to be to do all this stuff all the time. My time is way more valuable to me than this.
