What makes a bujo a bujo?

[fay_e]

Recently there's been a bit of angst on the other bujo communities I follow that the comms have become more about planners than bullet journals.

So out of curiousity, I want to ask this comm: What do you feel makes a bullet journal a bullet journal? And what part of Ryder Carroll's system do you find the most useful for you?

For me, the part that makes my journal a bullet journal is rapid logging, the way I use signifiers/bullets for each item and the way items get migrated between my modules/spreads. I do use different modules/spreads from the usual system though, since I feel the rapid logging is the most useful!

I still don't really understand if I'm "doing it right", but what I do works for me, so I guess that's right :)

The most useful aspect for me is the ease of transfer between the future log, the monthly log and the daily log. I know I'm not going to forget about something just because it's three months in the future, and I know at the start of a month exactly what I already have planned.

My migration is really crappy because I don't check my future logs and monthly logs on a regular basis >_< I need to remember to do that!
