Bujo

What makes a bujo a bujo?

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!

What Lessons Have You Learned?

I don't know about you, but I'm prone to bouts of perfectionism. "Oh no! I misspelled a word in the page header! I have to rip out the page!" Things like that. In my defense, I've gotten over this, but it was bad in the beginning.

Or even better, I come up for this awesome spread that I intend to use for this Important Collection^tm...that I completely forget about. This possibly has happened to me more than once.

So I was wondering if any of you have had similar experiences? Did you create a tracker or collection that you never use? If you suffer from perfectionism, how do you combat those impulses? Let's chat.

Do you have any spreads you're especially proud of? What about a collection? Anything interesting there?

On things related to productivity: What about your daily logs? Is there one day where you finished everything and didn't need to migrate any tasks?

On a more aesthetic level: Had a day where your handwriting was on point? Has your calligraphy leveled up? Do you want to show us that cute washi tape border?

We're starting a new month and for many people, new months mean new beginnings. It's arbitrary, but there's something about seeing that 1 on the calendar, right?

So let's turn to our bujos. Are you trying anything new in February?

Maybe you're getting a new journal. Or do you want to try out that new fountain pen? Perhaps you've decided to experiment with a habit tracker. Or are you beginning a bujo for the very first time ever?

Whatever it is, let's talk about it here. Go!
