    off topic but I just want to say, that at a person that fixates on little things that shouldn't matter.. I love that you kept saying "that's okay" when mentioning the mistakes you made. It reminded me that it IS okay.

      I'm SO glad! 😊 I used to be so frustrated when I'd try and bullet journal and make little mistakes, but I'm glad I've learned now that it doesn't matter, even if your journal is going to be on the internet 😂 It's just for you!

      Aerial Kahookele your handwriting shouldn’t matter much. It’s more to keep organized and inspired! I enjoy it so much! I actually found that my handwriting got so so much better even after a couple of months of using my bullet journal. I would encourage you to give it a shot!

    I love the “think before you buy” section. A good rule of thumb is to consider how many hours you have to work to pay for that item. So for instance, you get paid $25 an hour and want a lovely $120 dress...you’d have to work almost five hours to pay for it. That always helps me decide whether it’s worth it or not. Especially because mostly my shifts are five hours long.

  • @JustJaymee

    I’m bullet journaling for the first time in 2019 I’m very excited, I’m using the periwinkle A5 dotted notebook from scribbles that matter 💙

  • @cecileganel
    @cecileganel Před 5 lety

    I started a Leuchtturm1917 A5 bullet journal in April of this year. I also use sharpie fineliners and staedtler fineliners. I use crayolas and zebra midliners to add color. In the beginning I went a little crazy with washi and stickers. But after a few months I rarely use it and I’m on a BuJo supply no buy.
    My BuJo has quickly turned into my favorite thing in the world. Honestly it’s my life. I’m in month 8 and 150/249 pages and November is my favorite spread thus far after a unsuccessful October. I think my favorite thing about bullet journals is that they replace all other journals, planners and notebooks. It’s a one stop organization shop!
    I have tried **several** different BuJo styles. And a more traditional style with a yearly future log and monthly log then just dailies that I do preplan work best for me. I would say 9/10 of my collections have been abandoned at this point. My only used ones are a movie tracker for theatre movies, savings and debt pay off tracker, and my running shoes tracker where I record the miles on each of my shoes. Otherwise I just brain dump and try to keep important to me things in my BuJo.
    Loved the bill tracker! I do my monthly budget in my monthly spread, but I love having a central location for bills because I forget my do dates too! I also have a wishlist and I write the date next to the new entry. I’d say 95% of my wants I don’t want anymore within 6 weeks. I start my weeks on Monday too. They make more sense to me like that.
    I’m so excited that you’re joining the Bullet journal community. You’ve been a great inspo for my debt payoff and I know if you’re willing to share some of your more monthly stuff that your journal with be great inspiration too!

I started following you a few months ago when I started looking into Dave Ramsey method. I love that you are now combing what I have been doing myself and I can see your perspective on it too. Budgeting and money tracking is a love of mine so I am so excited for these upcoming videos😊

      Scribbles That Matter do a Bullet Planner. It is B5 sized like the journal shown in the video. Everything is already printed out but undated. I started with it into Bullet Journaling and I love it to bits. I am not too fond of embellishing so the whole setup of a bujo would be a chore for me. The Bullet planner took care of this. There even are large habit trackers and about a dozen empty pages, too. Please take a look at it, it is awesome!
