Quick and easy BuJo tutorial?

[vriddy]

I was recently looking for the bullet journal tutorial on the official website and as far as I can tell, the quick and easy learning page has been replaced by a link to a US$249 course? I wanted to share it with a friend who has the same problem I used to have, which is thinking "too much stuff to do, I need a planner!" then spending the next 4 days researching the Perfect Planner, ordering it, and having completely lost motivation by the time it arrives. I really liked that quick tutorial page because it didn't take a lot of time to read and basically required no money, just a pen and notebook, so no excuses not to get started right away.

I'm going to look for another tutorial to recommend from now on, but I'm wondering if anyone here also may have come across resources you would recommend for getting started? I think quick and simple and not too intimidating would work best, considering the use case.

this quick tutorial (archived version)?

[vriddy]

Yes! I'm surprised the images still show, I didn't realise the archive could save them as well as that has to take up a lot more space than text. Thanks for the link!

Yay! I'm glad someone was able to point you to the original.

Thanks! Yay :D

It's a danger zone because the site has so many beautiful things for purchase, but Notebook Therapy has some good blog posts on "How do bujo" as well.

Thank you for the tip!! I'll have a look around the site.

Extremely belatedly, my other favourite resource is Stationery Nerd's Start Messy!

I really like this one, thank you very much for sharing!! I love how much effort the author spends on assuring us that the journal doesn't need to look instagram-worthy and lowering the pressure around getting started. Really good stuff!

A little late, but I personally love using this one page version when I want to get friends started:
