And yup that random person is me, you have a new subscriber and fan, I already want my simie stickers!

You are my new favorite bojo/planner creator! It is SO REFRESHING to see a little sense of humor in this space. WE NEED MORE OF THIS!

"Not married to a system." Love this. Working on getting myself to sense when a change is necessary vs giving something time i.e. committing to a system. Nice to see a journaling practice that is so flexible and actually being used. Edit: also your table dance LMAO

HELLO. i am very happy to assist you with such an amazing accomplishment. You're doing great things. 💥

thank you so much for this video. I've recently started bullet journalling and I'm struggling to decide on which spreads I should use in the next month and which ones to throw away. This opened my eyes a lot. Love your videos!

Really glad the YT algorithm led me to your videos/channel. Really enjoy your bullet journal videos. Finding someone who uses it intentionally, realistic, non perfect but with humor is so hard when the community is flooded with “beautiful” designs. I love the idea of incorporating stickers. A simple and perfect way I can see myself doing as well. Subscribed bc I enjoy your content. Thanks!!

I light up when I see a new bujo video from you! Thank you for sharing your functional minimalist bullet journal styles with us.

"no journals were harmed in the making of this video" XD those little jokes are gold

You're the first one that ACTUALLY HAS A SIMPLE BULLET JOURNAL and, after being blocked half yesterday just with starting, I wanna kiss you on the forehead. For real. Sorry for the uppercase block but I needed it. I saw your first one and I clicked just because it was short. Literally. And it was amazing and this is even better, yay. You give me peace, thank you

LUCK LOGGING!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea, especially recognizing experiences that I have not previously noted. Excellent. Thank you!

Hi Simie. I watched your bullet journal videos multiple times while taking some notes to discover my own bullet journal style. I’ve decided to adopt some of your methods and also your wife’s. I failed my first attempt to do bullet journaling a few years ago when I was overwhelmed by all the artistic and perfect spreads everyone was sporting - something I could never replicate. This time, I am focusing more on what I want to achieve with this journal and your videos were a great starting point. Thank you! 🎉

I request permission to play the role of unsolicited advise provider. Thank you. The eating out stuff, people (me) eat out because you're hungry and tired and there is no food. Rather than a "dont do this" goal, I'd do a "do this" (groceries and meal planning) goal. Plus, I tend to dismiss prohibitions because one was born a rebel, but if you give me something to do, I may actually do it.

I don't know if you guys have Instacart or another grocery buying and delivery service, but when I am at the end of my rope and/or the weather is bad, I have been known to order groceries online and have them delivered. You don't have to order a lot, I just order enough to tide me over a few days. Cons: it costs more because of fees, etc, so I don't do it often. Just a thought.

I don’t know how I haven’t come across your channel until yesterday. I binged watched your whole bujo playslist. I love your vibe creativity and humour. Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing your videos (not just on bujo) I’ve been on the bujo journal train for years, finally I can relate to someone that’s simple and to the point with journaling.

I do have to say that your no nonsense and visually simple take on Bullet Journaling and the layouts has really helped me get started!

Hmm, I think I just rewatched this video again after many months. While I usually can’t stand all the art projects people post videos about, there is something I like about your stickers. Perhaps it’s because they remind me of doodles in the margins of a journal, which I have been doing for over 50 years. In my working days I had to keep a planner, but it was never quite right for me. Fast forward to being retired several years and I don’t need a work planner anymore. Instead I just need to keep a simple task/notebook/calendar as a way to keep me from falling down the rabbit hole 🕳️ of the internet/ social media. This past year I’ve been doing a very simple bujo in a a pocket Field Notes sized notebook (rotating between Moleskine, a FN knock-off I had leftover in a drawer, & next month a gifted National Parks version of FN) with about a quarter of year in one FN booklet. I doing a sort of journal-journal 📓in a cheap A5 sized hardback book with grid or dot-grid paper, writing 3 pages a day brain dump to clear my mind similar to Morning Pages, except I rarely write in the morning. When I get stuck on what to write I allow myself to doodle for a few minutes… usually that’s enough to get my brain stimulated to write ✍️ again. 📓

I would really like to thank you for sharing the pen you use. I went out and bought a PN. Went back out the next day and cleaned my local Michaels out of Micron PN's. It is the perfect pen for this. Thank you again for sharing

I love that you blur out things and keep them private from us! It is NOT our business every goal you have or thought you have or whatever. It's generous of you to share your BuJo practice because it all helps those of us who haven't quite got there yet. But I think YT (and all social media) will suck you up if you share everything with us and that's not good for people's mental health IMO. So although I am *dying* to know what Abbey looks like (e.g.), it's great that this is your channel and we don't need to know! Yay!, go you and boundaries, Simie! Thanks for the tips about the Sharpie S-Gel. I'm still using Pilot Frixion gel pens because they're erasable and come in a lot of different colours which brightens things up a bit, but I'm open to trying new things and will be trying the Micron pen you use now as well as the S-Gel pens in future. I also saw a pastel grey highlighter pen (Stabilo Boss, I think), which I also fancy for a subtle highlight for headings that will be great if I decide to go with a really simple black and white and shades of grey, to keep things really functional and minimalist, instead of going for pops of colour here and there. But I guess these practices just evolve as you go along.

Thank you so much for the tips, just a matter of gathering mental spoons now to get evidence and info together to ask for right to choose service.

I've come to realise bullet journaling specifically for work might be helpful. I've got stuff set up personally that works, but for my work not so much. 🤔

Yearly spread - I make 6 boxes on 1 page and 6 on the opposite page. Fancy font for the month names and that’s it. I write a day number and add the important info. I do this for this year info, or next year info coming up, or an important anniversary from the past.

Love all your videos plus your humor! I was wondering, how did you adjust to the monthly layout with 6 across? I really want to try this and wonder about getting lost with the weekends. I really like it though and thanks to your encouragement to try, then try something else, I am must less worried about messing it up. In one of your earlier videos, you shared a messed up page and that was priceless.

@SimieIriarte

Жыл бұрын

Thank youuuu. So i just go straight across one page at a time (meaning 3 days go by and then i move down to the next row) and the weekends just land wherever they land, which hasn't been a problem for me. Since i'm using the 2nd edition of the bullet journal, it already has dots to divide the page into thirds so setting this up is a breeeeeze. Hope this helps!

Lol at the end 😅😅

ya they're different! daily log section functions more like a calendar. Rapid logging just fits into the next pages after. I just write what i want about the day and divide each entry with a little line.

I first used stickers when the marker ink bled through the paper and I had an unusable space. The ink then bled through the stickers.

For my first journal i used it for two years and it just so happened to fill up at the end of the year in good timing. When i started my second one, the same thing happened again and filled up at the end of the year in good timing. Now, if i were to still have space in a journal before the end of the year, I would just start a new one out of preference. It's totally up to you tho! I've done both and it didn't effect the purpose.

This is so random but why not clip through the loop instead of trying to force the entire pen? I don’t have any fancy notebooks with pen loops though…
