I saw this on the Bullet Journal website, but your video made it more clearer. Thanks for sharing.
+Bookish Organized Chaos Awesome! Thanks for that :)
I am glad to hear you have a practice journal. Makes me feel better that I have to plan our bigger spreads as well. Well done.
+Dawn LaBriere Sure thing! I love sketching out new ideas for spreads in my Moleskine :)
I really like the Calendex/Allistair hybrid!
I couldn't wrap my head around the calendex but your description made so much sense. I'm itching to change my planning system to a bullet journaling style but I've committed to DIYFish pages for the year. Thank you for awesome videos!
+Taming Bubbles I'm glad you were able to understand it better! Nothing wrong with sticking with what is working for you :)
I love this, makes everything look so easy!
Don't get me wrong but I think this system makes things too complicated while they could stay easier... Anyway, I love your bullet journal and you make great videos!
This is genious! I just started bullet journaling and was really in trouble figuring out how to write down future appointments and other things in the future so that I wouldn't miss out anything. Thank you!!
I love your videos! This was a very helpful video. I'm very excited to try this calendar. Thank you for sharing and explaining so clearly. I LOVE your channel.
Thanks Beth :)
I love how you adjusted the Calendex and added the future log. I was thinking that lay out would work perfect for me but I would have the future log where I actually put the appointments for the Calendex beside it. Then I would have the next four months and a future log for those four on the next couple of pages. What a brilliant idea! It doesn't take up a ton of space and is easy to read. And I don't have to be an art major. :-) Thank you for the great ideas.
Discovered bullet journals today and I've been watching videos on it for the past hour hahaa. Your videos are super helpful, thanks so much! Also, has anyone ever told you that your voice sounds super similar to Pam from The Office? Once I hear it I couldn't unhear it! Anyway, can't wait to start my own bullet journal!
I have actually heard that before!! Haha! :)
Love this method. I've not been using my future log. Going to switch to this method.
I saw this after I set up my first bullet journal. This seems much easier so I will totally be incorporating this in my next journal.
Welcome back hope you had a super time here in San Fran!! Great video thanks as always.
+Patti T. Thanks Patti! San Francisco was a blast! :)
Love this system but especially love your new adapted 4 month Calendex & Future Log. Going to definitely going to give that a try! Thanks Kara!
+Pam Gawluk You betcha! Glad you found it helpful :)
Since you've introduced your Calendex page I was thinking it's a big page setup because I usually don't plan mire than 3-4 months ahead and I usually use a notebook for 4 months. But your new version of the Calendex might be working for me. I will try it in my current bujo even if I'm at the half of it, then make my own improvements, according to my life, to it.
Many thx for your video ! You're awesome
+Laurence Padiolleau Thank you Laurence! Yes, I'm definitely looking forward to trying the new 4-month set up with my new journal very soon :)
I love your hybrid - I'm going to use that. Thank you, I couldn't figure out how I wanted to set this up. I have all my practice sheets ready to go. I'm working outside the US so all my bullet journal supplies are waiting for me at home (6 more days). It'll be like Christmas. :)
I'm glad you showcased the Allistaire (sp?) method as I actually think that will suit my planning style better than a calendex. I also changed out that single-month view layout to an actual calendar layout. Just works better for me. Using my bullet journal strictly for personal life stuff--keep my work stuff out of it. Because of that I don't need to put quite so much information into it, so simple works best. Real glad I found your blog and videos. Been bu-joing for about a month now and I'm seeing its benefits.
+Kelly Roy I love that Kelly! It's great that you're adapting it to your own needs and I'm happy that you've found my posts useful :)
Awesome video and perfect timing! I just set up my calendex last night, but I was still a bit lost. Your video was incredible helpful. Have a wonderful day! 😊
+Yukari Yoshioka I'm happy it helped you :)
Another fantastic video! Brilliant. I use one notebook roughly every three months , so I have adapted mine so it's a three months calendex with a three month future log. I absolutely love it. Thanks for the inspiration to adapt 🤓
+Lisa Oseland That's awesome Lisa! I'm happy you were able to adapt it to suit your needs :)
Just happened across this and I think this will really help me! Have just started bullet journaling (last week!) and I have already discovered I need to have a separate bujo for work.
This is perfection! Your blog post was soooo helpful too. The way you've set it up with 4 months and Alistair method looks perfect for me. I tried the original 6 months on 2 pages spread and hated it! Way too cramped and messy for me since I have lots of appointments.
Thank you for making this . I really love it and i am definitely going try it
+Suchi R Great! Let me know how it works for you :)
Love this! FAVORITE? You incorporated a mini Calendex into the Moleskine!
3:51 *writing and talking inaudibly to herself while writing* these subtitles are amazing 😂
When you are over with this notebook, will you do flip through with what you learned what has worked and what didn't?
In some other videos where she flips through her bullet journal, she shows that she has a page dedicated to what worked and what didn't, what she's keeping/tossing/adding in her next journal. It's a good idea so you can incorporate what you like and leave behind what didn't!
Awesome video! Glad you enjoyed your trip and have returned to vlogging...we missed you!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
-Karen C
+K Carter I'm happy to be back for sure :)
Thank u for this!!
Hi Kara! I've been so waiting for this video and I'm so glad I love this as much as I thought I would.! In terms of your hybrid Calendex with the chart for long term future planning (past your four months) how would you record dates in your new Calendex if you had to move to a new journal since all the page numbers would be different ?! Thanks !
this is such a cool system! I only found out about bullet journals a few days ago and really like the idea but was worried about how I would organise future events, for example I have a dentist appointment at the end of this month that I have had booked since November and with my current system I can just go straight to May and write it in, but this system could work really well :) think I'll need to invest in some Tipex for all the mistakes and changed appointments that will inevitably happen! x
Welcome back! I liked how you revised to the 4 months. I was wondering what you would do if you finish your notebook and had that full year spread. You would have to transfer the whole thing or most of it over to the new notebook. I recently started getting into the bullet journal (I'm doing a sort of test run in an old notebook to see how it goes) and I put in the calendex. I'm not sure if I can use it properly or to its entirety yet but we'll see. This video was very helpful, as are all your videos, and I think I will give the 4 or 6 month calendex a try instead of a full year. Thank you for your input and ideas! Love your videos and blog!
+Katie Murdock Thanks! I love that you're doing a test run. I definitely think that a shorter time-frame for the calendex is much more manageable :)
❤️ the calindex!!!!!
Question: in the future log that you have, how do you know what date goes with what month?
Hello! Newbie here! I absolutely love all your videos! I’ve been binging for a couple of days now.
Question: How do you know where to put the lines that are separating the months. For example, you drew a line between January 3rd & 4th and then another line between the 10th & 11th. I’m just not understanding the process of this. Thanks 💚
Kara, I have the opposite problem from you and some of the other commenters. I run a very popular field trip program, and the demand is so high that we start accepting reservations 5 years in advance! So, I've been thinking about setting up the calendex for a couple of years into the future, say 2017 and 2018. What was bothering me was that our calendardoes change pretty frequently, especially at the beginning of the school year, so the details could change long after I first wrote them on a daily page. I thought about trying some version of Kim's threading, but having seen what you're doing, I think color-coded dots may be the way for me to go. I have staff who stay on top of all of the logistical details (school name, teacher contact information, etc.), so really all I need to know is that we have a group scheduled to come on a particular day. Do you have any thoughts about this approach?
I have a question for you...I'm starting my first Bullet Journal on Monday and want to use the calendex...my biggest problem ist that I don't know how to handle appointments I already know I have as there is no space to write them in...the same problem would occur to me when switching over to a new Bullet Journal when you old one is full and I don't want to constantly get back to my old Journal to check there...do you create a page where you have all the appointments you know about and use that as the page to refer to or how do you handle this problem?
what happens when you start getting towards the end of the year, say October? do you set up your next year or bujo that far in advance?
Love your videos! I just learned about the Bullet Journal this week. Question...do you only use the Calendex / Bullet Journal for all of your appointments or do you still use a calendar app? I currently use a color coded calendar app. I'm still figuring out if I should use both systems and keep my appointments in my calendar app and only use my Bullet Journal for to-do's and journaling or just use the BJ for everything. Any words of wisdom? Thank you so much for sharing your passion and artistry!!!!
+Sharon N. I still use a calendar app because I need to be able to share my schedule easily with others. Using it in conjunction with the Calendex has been perfect for me :)
I like the Calendex + Alastair Future Log concept, but I'm curious as to how you handle seasonal/month dependent tasks rather than events you can tie to a specific date (clear out old fig leaves and fertilize when they fall, Confederate jasmine on the pergola tends to peak around this week - plan garden party, etc.) that you want to log well in advance so you don't forget them, but don't want to wait until your Monthly log comes up to write them down. I can see how those would work in Ryder's original future log. Would you put those as tasks in the Alastair log? I can't wrap my brain around how they would work in the Calendex.
Oops! Just started watching "How I Index My Bullet Journal" and see a "Spring Tasks" collection, Doh! Now I have to think about which way will work best with my brain.
What do the black lines throughout each month represent? I see the shaded black ate days not represented for that month.
Thank you for the video, I was waiting for your Calendex view, as I`m thinking of starting my own..x) Just a small - and may be stupid - question: how and when do you migrate appointment and tasks to your month log (if I am right to remember, you switched your month system recently) and do you really need month page for appointment-notes, if you use Calendex?
+Julia Chernenko I actually got rid of my monthly calendar altogether. I started using a weekly spread, where I log all of my scheduled appointments and events for the week. I made a video about it a couple of weeks ago :)
It's 12:30 am on a Sunday night and all I want to do is bullet journal.
Thank you so much for this video it helped me a lot! You are so talented
I just need to ask you a question : how do you see in advance this "dead line" , I'm a graphic designer and i have a lot of dead lines but with this system it looks like I would realize that just the day before, when i'm about to write all the to do list for the next day.... And on the Calendex it's just numbers, not words, so how do I know that it's a dead line and that i have to work on this long before ?
I'm sorry for my english, I'm french….
Thank you for you answer !!!
Sorry, I'm not Boho Berry... My answer is if you need to designate deadlines differently, either have a different symbol or a different color. Since I only use color to decorate not color code, I would use a different symbol like an underline or circle instead of a box. Hope that helps!
Do you have a video on how to setup a calendex
First of all, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I have a question. Since I'm a newbie BuJo user, I used Ryder's original "future log" layout which works for me. I only add my future to-do's / appts since I use my Calendar app for all birthdays, pay periods, appts, etc. I do love the Calendex and the colored dots (I'm a visual learner and I color-code everything). I did create a Calendex and copied all the b-days, pay days, etc. (all repeating events). I now want to add May's future to-do's & appts (I never wrote them down in my daily pages) and I'm not sure how to write it in my Calendex. It's not a repeating event and it's not written in my daily pgs. Does it make sense to add my future to-do's "a la Alastaire" method? I would like your expertise. Thanks again!
+Sharon N. Hi Sharon, thanks so much for your kind words! :) The calendex works best when each appointment/vent is written within your dailies so that you can reference that page number. What you could do to get started it to create a page specifically for all of your upcoming events/appointments and then list that page number in your Calendex on each day that you have an appointment. :)
Thank you. Have a great weekend!!
Hi Kara! I've been super unhappy with my planning system lately, so I went on Pinterest to get some inspiration. That's where I found you. I literally binged watched all your videos last night. I ordered my leuchtturm1917 and I'm so so so excited! My question is.... I know you obviously can't show us your personal financial spread, but I was wondering if you'd be willing to make a mock one, just to show us the layout of the spread, and how to put the YNAB system in place in our bullet journals? Thanks! Hugs from Denver, CO.
+Lauren Lambert Thanks Lauren! I actually don't keep any financial info in my Bullet Journal at all. I find it redundant to log both in my journal and in the YNAB app. That being said, I'm planning to do a YNAB post on the blog to show how I organize my categories within the app itself very soon. Maybe seeing that will help :)
+Boho Berry Awesome, thanks! I'm sure that will help. 😀
Sorry I should have read first smh very great method thanks for sharing!
how do you plan for a year. educator. I have specific days I must have readily have readily available to me.
Kara I like your new way of future planning. I was wondering what are the horizontal lines for in the calendex?
+Dionne C Thanks Dionne! Those horizontal lines divide the weeks :)
I think the calendex would be perfect if you had several people with pretty crazy work schedules (eg 2x early, 2x late, 3x night, 4x off) that you wanted to keep track of since they often get their plan for the whole year after scheduling their vacation times.
+Nic4280 Yes! I think you're right :)
Kara, what will you do when you start a new journal? Will you go through all the future appointments on your calendex & migrate them to a new page in your current journal & then reference the new page # on the current calendex?
+Debbie Graf That's my plan! Once I switch to the 4-month spread in my new journal, the migration process will be much easier as well :)
Never Mind!! Lol just went to the blog post and saw that you can put the month and date together! Duh!! 😂😂
how do you use this? im confused little
How would you do a bullet journal for a teen?
Are the lines on each month separating each week
Hi! I am new to Bullet Journaling. I love your blog and videos because they are so creative and provide lots of inspiration for making the process unique for each person. Do you "save" pages in your journal? For instance, if you know that you're going to need to create another 4 month Calendex, do you set aside pages in a Calendex "section" or do you just create the spread on the next free page of your journal when the time arises? One of the issues I have with most pre-produced planners on the market is that a certain section may not contain enough pages for the information I want to put there. Maybe I want to keep track of books to read, but the planner only gives me 1 page for notes, etc. Does that make sense?
+Susanne Johnson Hi Susanne! I don't normally save pages. The idea of the bullet journal is that you never know how much or how little space you will need. If I run out of room on my "books to read" page, I'll just create a new "books to read" on whatever the next page is in my journal and index it accordingly. Hope that helps :)
enjoyed
Hey i love your videos but i was wondering if it matters how you draw the rectangles for the calendex
She adds lines across for each week, to divide it up.
How do you know where the lines go?
Do you have any trouble buying your leuchtturm? After watching some of your videos and wanting to get into bullet journaling, I ordered one on Amazon January 20th. Then my confirmation said it could take until March 8th to get here. It is still not here. Where do you buy yours?
+Lisa Nagy I got my first ones from Amazon, but recently started buying from gouletpens.com. They have a great selection and super fast shipping :)
Question: How often do you make a new calendex? Do you make (3) 4 month spreads one right after another at the beginning of the notebook? Or would you do like jan, feb, mar, and april and then let those months go by and THEN make next one? OR would you make a new calendex after each month and just include the following month, like 1st one is jan feb march april and the second one is feb mar april may?
I know that each person can do whatever they like with it, but i'm actually asking for your opinion, are there any obvious cons to either of those ?
+Amanda Coffey Hi Amanda. Right now I just have a full year calendex. I tend to go through a notebook every 4 months, so in my next bullet journal, I'll just be setting up a 4 month calendex. If I find myself needing future months, I'll just create another one wherever I'm at in my notebook. Hope that helps :)
I have a question: If you're doing the Calendex, do you still do the monthly page too? The one with the dates and days of the week running down the side of the page? Like so many others, I have been inspired to begin a bullet journal because of your blog and videos. I'm so happy I've done this! I needed it _so_ badly. My train jumps the track constantly! Haha But it's that one point that I don't understand. It seems redundant to put your commitments on the calendex and daily pages, and then again on a one- month page, but maybe I am misunderstanding. Anyway, TIA I love my bullet journal!
(P.S. I've started the Miracle Morning and Level 10 Life too! Thx for that info as well.)
I have the same question! With the calendex, would the monthly page or even the future log still be helpful?
I plan to use the Calendex for future planning and my Monthly Log to jot down one important thing that happened each day, rather than all my appointments. Those will be tracked through dailies and my Calendex.
I love this system. I see that you have birthdays marked with a green dot (box?). How do you know who's birthday falls on that day? Do you have it written somewhere else?
megan schultz she has it written in a google calendar
Are you gonna do a flip through of either this or your blog&biz soon?
+LyricsLion9 One day :)
Kara, with regards to how you use this for your daughter, how do you know what the dots for her match up with? I have two children and need to be organised x
+Best Laid Plans If I were you, I would pick a color for each child. For repeating events, perhaps you could devise little symbols for each activity?
When my kids were younger I didn't use a bujo, but all 3 kids were involved in the same type of activities & I would color code my calendar with 1 color for each type of activity & then use an initial to indicate which child it was for. For example soccer was red & school was green I would write a red B to indicate a soccer game for Brittany.
+Boho Berry that makes sense. I have a 2 year old girl and 5 year old boy so it's all activities from karate to ballet. Thank you
+Debbie Graf I love that idea, Debbie! Thanks for sharing :)
+Best Laid Plans You're very welcome. I love +Debbie Graf idea above as well :)
And this video resolve all my problem with futur log!!!! :D THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Max Dartois You're very welcome! I'm glad it helped you :)
I'm a noob with the BuJo but now I can't live without it! As a student, it seems that the BuJo is the best way to organized my day and all the activity I had to deal with!! I begin my BuJo when I discover your channel so THANKS so much!!!! :p
+Max Dartois I love hearing that! The bullet journal system really changed my life for the better as well. It's crazy how this one little notebook can organize my entire life and I love it! :)
I have the exact same feeling! It help me have so much time for myself! 😁
I have a doubt. You put a lot of pink dots for your girl on July? And I ask myself why? My kids have actives like hip hop dance, swimming and kumon, should I put a dot for that task?
I would assume that would be for camp for something like that... something she would need to note on her calendar.
This is a very stupid question probably, but do I need a Bullet Journal even if I'm not a super-busy person, and my life packs predictability (appointments, events, assignments, etc.)? I'm a college student, but not someone who has got too much on his plate.
That's not a stupid question at all! One of the great things about the Bullet Journal system is how adaptable it is -- there's no minimum or maximum to the things you can put in it! Try it out and see what you think :)
You properly mentioned it before, but where are your pens from?
+Mamullen There's a link to all of my supplies in the video description :)
What is the significance of the horizontal lines? They seems to be at random intervals. What do they mean? I have searched every post about this method to understand the horizontal lines but in vain. HELP!
Sunday / Monday divide
💟
I could not wrap my head around this video explanation. Mind you this is probably due to week 6 of bronchitis and antibiotics and steroids. I went to your website and by reading I completely understood it. The video is NOT bad nor do I think it lacks explanation. I think the problem is me and being ill for so long. I think a three month spread would be better for me personally and would like to know where to find out how others do their pages if they don't like the flipping back and forth as stated in one of the other comment below. The flipping just isn't my cup of tea. :)
+Life Paths I'm glad you were able to understand it better by going to the blog. That is part of the reason why I like to do both. Sometimes it's more easily understood one way or another :) In the description I linked to my "Future Planning" blog post. It outlines 5 of the most popular ways to plan future events in your Bullet Journal. Hopefully that will help you :)
Thank you. I will take a look.
I don't like all the flipping around, so I have a two-part spread directly after my calender with detail on events.
+Mikhela Kurzhal Different systems work for different folks. That's the beauty of the Bullet Journal. You can adapt it to fit your own planning style :)
What is your rhyme/reason for the lines?
+Crystal Smith You mean the horizontal ones? They mark the separation of the weeks :)
Your journal is.. Ruled/blank/squared ???? I'm confuse about it 😅😅
+KAWAII D.I.Y It's a dot grid :)
What do the dots mean on the calendex?
amy gretchen basically stands for Tasks!
No, actually she explained that they were repeating events, so she doesn't have to keep writing them out. Like I teach music lessons, so I wouldn't have to write out the same flute lesson on Wednesday every week, just have a dot in the color for teaching and I know what it means...
why arent the boxes even out across
Wow I can't imagine having to look on three different pages just to figure out I have a doctors appointment! I thought bullet journals were supposed to simplify life but this looks overly complicated
+Sherri C Different methods work for different people. THAT is what's beautiful about the Bullet Journal system. You can tweak it to what works for you and leave the rest :)
I'm pretty sure that that snotty young lady who told you that you were mispronouncing "Leuchtturm" (ch- indicates a hard c) was incorrect. You previously pronounced it loik-sh-turm, which, I'm almost positive, is correct. As always, Kara, you're pretty spot on with your first instinct ;)
+KindaGirlie7832 Thanks for that! I'm really not sure either way but I've decided that I'm not gonna worry too much about it. Hopefully the rest of the German speakers out there will realize that I'm American and not give me too much grief. :)
Go one making new videos......hey do u have any plan for studying the day before exam
+Vishesh Walia Unfortunately I can't help you there as I'm not a student.
Ok
This is way too confusing for me. The video is great though.
+Jennifer Gunter Fortunately, there are several different ways to handle future planning. I'm sure you will find one that works for you :)
делайте титры на русском языке пожалуйста. так интересно вас смотреть.
Для того, чтобы их сделать, нужно хорошо знать русский. Гугл-переводчик не потянет. 😉
+Anna Kovaleva так вроде и так все понятно!
When you are over with this notebook, will you do flip through with what you learned what has worked and what didn't?
+Art Victim Of course :)
