A Bullet Journal is not a brand of notebook. Rather, its a method by which to annotate notes to help organize all those random events, ideas and things that need doing. I had not heard about Bullet Journaling until I listened to the most recent Pen Addict podcast, episode #70. The podcast featured an interview with Ryder Carroll, the creator of the Bullet Journal system. I’m fascinated by the idea of creating a system and being more thoughtful about the manner in which I take and keep notes. Unfortunately, the system works best for simple to-do’s and someday-maybe projects and not bigger projects like work assignments with many steps stretched over weeks of months. But there are the beginnings of ways to tackle that. I think blending the Bullet Journal system with GTD might give me a workable paper system.
Have you tried the Bullet Journal? Has it worked for you?

Yes, I began a few weeks ago and I love it. It is the perfect balance between flexibility and formality for me.
I am trying it for one week and it works perfectly 🙂 after years of struggling with regular diaries I’ve finaly found the best way how to stay organized. Love Bullet Journal Idea.
Thank you. This is just what I was looking for. I have started today and hope it will work for me. Naturally I had the right notebook ready and waiting.
I love Bullet Journal. I have great success with sticking to the Bullet Journal system
The Bullet Journal inspired me to change some things in my own system. I don’t use the calendar page, because I’m planing my weeks on mondays and put the tasks into my digital calendar. The daily pages are used for capturing new tasks. I really like the simplicity of the Bullet Journal and think that I’ve now found a system that really works.
I guess I didn’t realize there was a formal system of Bullets. I use it for To Do list management. Mostly the square boxes denoting subtask needed to complete the overall task. I enjoy checking off the boxes as much as I enjoy cross out the who to do as completed. I use the smaller bullets to list notes or reference for the overall task as I like to keep the task title small and concise. Thanks for the share!
I’m using Bulett Journal for two months and I improved my productivity and efficiency a lot, because it’s a powerful habit builder.
It also helps me to slow down the pace and destress, discharging on notes all the overload of thoughts and ideas.
