I think this is the first time have both subscribed to a KZfaq channel and followed an IG account from the same creator all at one time. Excellent content delivered with clarity. Well done, sir!

Finally after I've watched 25 KZfaq videos "For Beginners" someone who actually explains how a BUJO is set up! Thank you!

This is so good, especially for ADHD and Autistic folks who struggle with all the frills that comes with journalling. This helped me.

Excellent presentation of the method that is blessedly free of all the decoration and "extras". Thank you.

Great idea to put the KEY on a sticky note.

Finally, a simple and effective way to start a bullet journal! I've been watching many videos, but they all seemed too overwhelming and complicated. Thank you, I've started with mine today thanks to your tips :)

Awesome to see this done on lined pages, and in a simple way more like the original bullet journal. Thank you!

I absolutely love love loved this! Not everyone can afford to spend crazy amounts of money on a bullet journal. It's nice to see that you made it accessible for everyone! People can literally pick a notebook of some sort like this up at the Dollar Tree, along with their pen(s). To me, it's definitely not about the most expensive or greatest quality. Your descriptions and explanations were on point! It's so basic, yet thorough, and can get ANYONE started! I can also appreciate the no "frills" without stickers, doodles, etc. It's fine if people want to add that in later on, but again, this gets people started! Your bullet journal tutorial will most certainly help so many people focus on their tasks at hand. Very well done, thank you so much for sharing. Cheers! 😁👍🏻📖✍🏼

I finally understand the future log! Lol

Algorithm 🖋️ Going through your and Jashi’s videos to review basics. I dropped using my Bujo 4 years ago after doing it for 6-7 years. Having a kid took away my time since I was also only 2 years into running my first business. Now I am feeling the desire to get back into it!

"Back to the future" 🤭 Great summary!

Finally, someone that explains it simply. Thank you.

Thank you. You helped me understand the basics. Other videos I watched were discouraging and overwhelming because they mixed a lot of extra stuff with the basics and it only caused confusion. It was difficult to differentiate between what was needed to start journaling and what was their own twist on bullet journaling. Your video is very clear and straight to the point while explaining some extra stuff on the side without going overboard. Thank you man. You're good at teaching.

Wow, I really appreciate you took time to explain this. As I was overwhelmed with all other videos for bullet journal and had given up the idea of starting it as it looked complicated to work for me. Thank you for making it simple and easy

love this. I have been using ring binders for years (Filofax in the 80s and other more expensive models since!) I enjoy watching the videos full of washi tape and decoration but for the actual planning my brain can't cope with the distraction! This is much more me.

Great video for demonstrating you don't need a special notebook to start a bullet journal. Any simple notebook will do. I also like the emphasis on using what works for you and not trying to copy something someone else created just because it looked artful or fancy.

I love this idea of doing it day by day. I stopped bullet journaling, because I was creating days ahead of time and sometimes there were no events/tasks do a day and I was left with an empty page. And I really hated the waste of paper that way. Thank you so much :)

I literally just followed your steps to start my very first bullet journal. Thanks a million.😁

Thank you for explaining the basics. I already knew how to bullet journal but I was getting overwhelmed with all the surplus information other channels were giving me. This really is the bare bones and I feel I can actually do this!

I’ve been struggling with setting a work bullet journal for years. I watched many videos and most are just too much. Too fussy. This is perfect and I will use this set up. Thanks so much.

My first bullet journal back in 2017 was lined! While I definitely now prefer dot grid, it was great to start with what I had and learning if I liked the system before splurging on supplies!

the simpliest explanation i have heard so far! perfect mininaliastic way to keep my life in check. ill be starting today. thanks for the straight foward explanation.

My first time ever commenting on KZfaq. You did a fantastic job walking me thru the process. You were able to say in such a short video what others have spent more time failing to say. Thx.

AMEN! Thank you for this simplistic ways of journalling. Saves my keister hugely! Thumbs up.

Thanks for this video. Very well explained. I’ve been doing bujo for over a year but seeing this makes me reflect and think that there’s stuff I should add to my notebook now that I’m starting a new one in July.

Great video with very clear instructions. Thank you.

My first bullet journal was in an old lined notebook. It turned out my best looking as I was still so excited and inspired by the original idea.

Thank you for this, Mark. I’m so ready to get my life and business organized!

Best explanation of bullet journaling I've seen! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video!! I've been a yoyo bullet journaler since 2013 and I'm still trying to figure it out, lol! Thank you for the example of the note cards & breaking down the steps in a VISUAL way!!!

This is the best bullet journal set up. Realisitic, straight to the point, just a notebook and a pen, no fancy stuff. Love it

Omg this is great! Straight to the point and easy to understand

There was a time when there was the tern "Mind Sweep" that meant what "Brain Dump" means now. I very much prefer the term "Mind Sweep". Just mentioning this in case anyone is as put off by "Brain Dump" as I am.

THANK YOU this video is wildly helpful!

Great walkthrough! I really appreciate being able to see how the bullet journal system works.

Thank you. This is the best video I have found on this subject. Clear and concise. Great job 👍

I'm starting my bullet journal today, May 15th, and guess what my first task is? Take down xmas lights lmao - don't judge me! Thanks for the great video and for answering my questions, I've rewatched it about 8 times but I think I've got an understanding now

Very informative! I am happy that I found your channel 😊

I like how you explain how to start bullet journaling. So simple and easy to follow! 😊

Thanks for this - I am absolutely new to this, and following along with you I just set up my first bullet journal. I feel like I've got a grasp of the basic idea. So, mission accomplished.

Simple and easy to follow. I've been watching quite a few videos on setting up a bullet journal, and I was so glad to get one from a man's perspective that was clear, step-by-step and easy to understand. Thanks!

Wow! This was a great demonstration and explanation!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Thank you so much! I love the way you taught this.. Looking forward to trying this and for more teaching videos from you

Best most helpful BJ video. Thank you!

Mark, thank you very much for sharing this easiest way to star a bullet journal. It really motivated me and I am feeling more self-confident to set myself up from now on.

This helped so much to get me started on my first bullet journal! I’m a very visual person and this is extremely helpful!

THANK YOOOOOUUU!!!!! This was the BEST intro into bullet journaling! Why? Because it basically follows Ryder Carroll's concept and takes you step-by-step through the process. Other people give an overview without the step-by-step. And others still, do their little tweaks, such as OMITTING the Future Log altogether if you can believe it! (How do they migrate BACK, without a Future Log!??) The BIGGEST frustration with OTHER videos is when people turn journaling into "scrapbooking"!! (Talk about being ADD!!!) I've passed this video/info on to one of my FEMALE friends! ;-)

Thank You!! This was very helpful. I just setup my journal today while watching this. I pray this is the beginning of something great in my life. Happy New Year! Oh and this wasn't as stressful and time consuming like other BUJOs I've seen on KZfaq.

Wow! This is the most comprehensive explanation I have ever watched on bullet journaling! I thoroughly enjoyed it and finally feel this is something I can actually use! I subscribed to watch your other videos for further tips!

Thank you. It was very informative. I watched many on you tube, but never started one. Too confusing. You showed how it’s done in detail. I have a happy planner. I like the undated one. I’m going to try that and put the index in the back.

GREAT!! Easy to follow and very helpful

Very Nicely explained ! Thank you!!

Hello, thank you so much for this video. Glad your way is very minimalistic and without glitters and all that deco stuff.

Excellent! This is the best instructional video information I have seen in how to get started in Bullet Journaling. Clear, concise, to the point instruction.

I finally understand how this works thank you so much.

This was so good. You made the system simple, accessible, easy to understand and use. Thanks for focusing on the essentials and demonstrating everything so clearly.

Wow! I have watched several of these kinds of videos however your video is the one that made so much sense to me! Thank you!

Wow this is great! Definitely a very simple rundown and I'm excited to try giving it a shot!

I LOVE YOU!! THAT WAS THE GREATEST SIMPLISTIC UNDERSTOOD HOW TO ON A SUBJECT IVE BEEN FEARED/Anxious to TO START from a fellow Lefty! I suffer from anxiety, depression, undiagnosed aDD I believe and panic attack. So yes I'm a mess but I actually set still low enough to watch the whole video and noticed that you were having tracking through migration!!! That's awesome my first bullet journal video this is amazing thank you so much I thought it was going to be horrible and too busy for me because Lauren knows I don't need another task to add on to all the tasks that I already have that keep me stuck and anxious procrastinating complacent it's like vicious cycle, so I'm going to start in January so wish me luck 🤓

Thank you so much! Even though I've two dot grid diaries, it's so complicated to use it with colour pens. I bought a new one lined notebook to start a bullet journal for 2022. It helped me a lot. Right now I'm preparing for entrance exam for research in Chemistry, this tutorial helped me a lot to plan the study schedule in a simple, time saving way.🙏 hope for best.

I’ve watched so many videos on KZfaq regarding Bullet Journaling, this is easily the best and most informative one I have seen. Great job! Will subscribe.

This was a very helpful video showing the basics of the bullet journal system. I had not seen how the future log worked in a practical real world sense so this was very useful! Thank you!

I like enjoy your style of bullet Journaling because it is simple, functional, and its always new start with previous notes next to new old one. I have passport size cover with composition notebook that goes me everywhere and you showed me lots of great ideas.

Fantastic explanation. Your teaching style is ideal for me. I finally understand a few concepts I was struggling with. Thank you very much!

Best explanation of the system. I use mine for work and this helped me.

I've been watching your videos all week learning how to do this, and I absolutely love your method and interpretation of the overall method. Your 2022 journal was really cute with the watercolours by the way :)

This video is amazing! Thanks for making me more responsible🤙🏼

Well presented. Thank you!

This is valuable information.

Exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you:)

You gave me some clarity on this system. Thank you.

Thank you. Very clear instruction.

Eureka! I’ve been trying to use a lined notebook for a while but this has shown me such an easy minimalist system.

It’s kind of amazing how our brains work and that just drawing a couple lines completely transforms the page and categorizes things and makes it visually pleasing 😊

Goodness. I had no idea that I was sort of doing this already, but not near so organized. Thank goodness it is time for me to start a new notebook. 📒 I love the migrating tasks < > use. Life will be so much more organized now. Thank you! One thing I also do is to glue a postcard to the front and write the date range on it. It makes it faster for me to look up stuff from old books, because I take tons of pictures and my picture logs are in these.

This is Mind-blowing! I have e tried endlessly to organise my life with various notebooks and diaries and even a Bujo but lines were always an issue...I love the structure of lines and the visual simplicity if gives. Thank You sooo much for this, I'm checking out the rest of yr content and I think think at long last I will get my s&@t together. Blessings and from the island of Cyprus.

My confusion which you cleared up was I thought that you had to specify a certain amount of space for each section (Daily, Monthly, Collections) but you cleared up that the book is sequential. I love watching your videos your so clear!

You are such a wonderful teacher! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge! :-)

Very easy to understand. Thank you! I will definitely be doing this to help me stay on track.

Thanks. Your a great teacher.🙂 I have watched a lot of videos on Bullet Journaling and it is overwhelming. I'm going to start with yours and slowly add in the doodling as I go along.

Great video! Thank you so much :D

I’m a big list maker but I’m just getting started with bullet journaling, this was very helpful starting point!

Thank you, I never understood the purpose of a future log, other than for events. This made things clearer. I still plan to use a 6-ring binder, but it's always good to learn another method.

I loved your video, you have explained very well. Thank you for sharing it.

Excellent explanation of the idea behind keeping a calendar.

This is actually helpful for my adhd brain, thanks for explain it in an easy way :')

This makes all the most sense for me as a fellow lefty.

Great video showing how to use the bullet journal method in a lined notebook! Also, for those who feel compelled to have weekly tasks in view you can do an allistair method for weekly tasks. I cannot handle daily pages because I have to see my life in a weekly view as I have many date specific things to do on my job. Daily pages are more for memory keeping.

Perfect introduction!!

I have been interested in bullet journalling but have been having a hard time finding a basic setup to get started. So many stickers and colors and schemes and I'm glad that works for people, but it was overwhelming for me. This setup you have makes me feel way more comfortable with journaling. Gonna give it a shot and will look forward to learning more about the process from your channel!

I find its explanation of logging Better than Ryder himself!!! So much helpful💯

Very helpful and clearly explained. Thank you

Really it is the one which I was looking for

Thank you for explaining it all and making it so simple to understand !! ✒️. ( I loved it when you said, “this is how we roll people “, it was funny so thank you for the laugh also)

Thanks a lot, I didn't understand what the future log was and neither the migration process with all the stickers, washi tapes and stamps in other videos. Your video is all what I needed to have things done in my Bujo

I'm not a man, but I was sort of drowning/panicking in artsy page bujo videos. This is what I was absolutely looking for. Thanks for this great quick start!

Checked all the other videos yours are still the best

Thank You for your presentations, I mean was an excellent start for Me as a very very beginner, from zero. It helps me get out my nightmares, and go back to my normal life, get back to my daily routines. Subscribe, and also followed You on IG, found a very interesting learning path there. Keep looking an eye on content.

I love your idea of using a sticky note for the index!

Nicely done video. I have tried BUJO off and on, and one of the things that always "broke my brain" were having collections interspersed throughout the journal instead of a separate section (as you would do with a binder with dividers etc etc). But I think the thing that you touch on (around 21:00) that is really important is the fact that you have to daily engage with and practice the bujo method. If you can build that habit then I think it works. And I think that Carroll talks about this some as well -- the idea of "reflecting upon your priorities" and thus figuring out what is truly important to you. Anyway, I think I will give it another try -- thanks for the inspiration. Oh and the other thing I really appreciate is the simple notebook no frills approach that you illustrated. Frankly I've seen enough illustrative, scrap bookie bujos to last me a lifetime. So this was refreshing... :-)
