    Ring and disk binders: it's nothing to do with being left-handed. One side is awkward for everybody, even if it's not always the same side
    Added: Great video. I like your idea for the back flap.

    • @cheese-bg1xq
      @cheese-bg1xq Pƙed rokem

      Agree 100%. People keep pretending that ring binders are _just_ a left-handed problem. In reality though, left-handed people struggle with using pages on the right and right-handed people struggle with using pages on the left.
      Basically, they're a pain and result in dents in the hands and arms of _everyone._

    25:28 "We're just gonna roll with it, because my friend, that's what real life is." Sage advice for journaling and LIFE right there. Love these nuggets of wisdom. Came for bujo inspo, received uplifting advice. Thanks Mark

    Thank you for this. I love your minimalist style. I get easily overwhelmed and distracted, so the simpler the system is, the better. Especially just starting out. TBH, you're the only reason I'm taking the leap into bullet journaling (no pressure, tho). I've heard the term bandied around, and I've seen pics of super fancy journals, and was immediately intimidated. I just need a system that works with my ADHD brain.

  • @juliangelus
    @juliangelus Pƙed rokem +16

    Thank you for another great video Mark. I am so happy with how you aren't afraid to show your mistakes, I think we don't remember enough that life isn't perfect and that mistakes can happen and can be dealt with. I've not done a bujo before as I always worry that my life is too boring for one, I rarely leave the house so I think it would be mostly blank. But, I've bought myself a cheaper journal from Stationery Pal and I'm going to give it a try starting in Decemeber, it'll be very minimal as I save my reading journal for my creative output. Anyway that's enough of an essay from me, I just wanted to say thank you and I appreciate every video you upload. Jx

    • @markyourpages
      @markyourpages  Pƙed rokem +4

      Thanks for checking out the video Jay. As alway, I appreciate your support! I think if anyone else read someone’s journal they’d realize we all live very basic lives. Mine is filled with work notes
 not very interesting 😆 it’s finding what works for you and sometimes it’s a basic notebook with a pen and a date.

    “Oh no, I double stamped.”
    This has me laughing so hard because I make these types of mistakes all the time 😅
    Great video! I just recently found your channel, and I’m happy I did. I’ve had two failed attempts at starting a bullet journal. I know it’s because I focused too much on trying to make it pretty instead of actually using it as a tool to help me. You’ve inspired me to try again in April (I’m setting it up now) and I’m just going to keep it simple to start and add in things as I get more comfortable with the system.
    Liked and subscribed, and thank you! 😊

    • @markyourpages
      @markyourpages  Pƙed rokem +2

      The dreaded double stamp. I try to hold myself back now and just leave it if I miss or mess up. Less Messy! I am so excited you have decided to give it a try again. Focus on the functionality first, then add on.

  • @bikerchic2003

    I like to draw and I have a sort of addiction for artistic planners (and you know how maximalist and baroque a bullet journal can be!), but this year I want to be more intentional and productive, and save time for the meaningful things. I can't spend all day decorating my journal!! 😄

    Hi Mark. I have always used the monthly as Ryder suggested for Monthly Highlights and it has truly been fun to "look back" at what happened. I do the same thing in my work journal. I hope you enjoy using it that way. Thanks for a real life approach to your Bullet Journaling, as well. I loved seeing how you rolled with the punches!! Have a great end of 2022 and start of 2023.🎊

Right now I’m using Erin Condren dot grid notebook and I’m happy with it because it works well with my teaching planning needs but I want to try this style and see if it takes! Instead of stamps I plan on using lots of stickers from the happy planner. Love your videos❀

    Are you freakin kidding me? I just saw the part where you covered the cut part on the back flap with washi tape. You used a ruler to get a clean edge on your washi tape and my mind is just BLOWN! Do you know how long I've struggled with trying to get even edges on my washi tape? I usually resort to using scissors (and none of my washi tape rolls have the extra peel-off paper like yours does, so trying to maneuver a half-stuck-down piece of washi tape AND maneuver scissors AND cut straight ... well, let's just say I lack coordination). Thank you for that tip!
