Hi! New follower. I’m 48, my one & only child went off to college this year & im getting used to a new way of life. Your video really helped me prepare for all that bullet journaling is and can be for me. Your descriptions are wonderfully helpful and your presence is calm which I need. Thank you for helping this old dog learn a few new tricks! ❤
welcome to the channel! and tysm :))
I like how clearly you structured the video and how on point your explanations where 😊 Personally the most important part for me with bullet journaling is reflection and writing down my thoughts, feelings, ideas etc. My bullet journal looks nothing like yours, has no consistent themes through a month or pretty weekly spreads. It's a chaotic collection of different spreads, brain dumps and other things, I need to get off my mind. But that's the beauty in bullet journaling: you create what you need and what works for you. And I still find it helpful and inspiring, hearing other people talk about what works for them 😊
exactly! that’s interesting that you use it mostly for reflection. like a daily journal or diary?
I've been bullet journaling for a couple of years now and I still learned some things from this video!! Thanks so much for putting this together!!💝
oh really? how long have you been journaling? and thanks haha
Great summary! I've been bullet journaling about 1.5 years and it's been sooo helpful for me. I'm definitely more organized, it's helped with forming new habits, but it's also helped me being more creative. I've always liked art, I used to paint with my grandma when I was a kid, but it's something that doesn't come super easy for me. I'd stare at a blank page or canvas and talk myself out of trying. Now, I'm doing at least a little bit of art every single month and I've been surprising myself at how well some of my paintings and drawings have turned out.
oh good for you! i’m sure your art looks amazing in the spreads :)
I just did my first monthly spread a few days ago and this video comes just at the right time because i‘m still a little lost! thank you so much
so glad i could be helpful!
i love the art in ur bullet journal. Thanks for the tips!
thank you so much
Hello, I'm just starting out in the bullet journal world. It's January already and was given a 2024 planner that I want to create it the way I want. Even if the calendars are already made. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for the helpful tips.😊
how exciting! tysmm
I’m so glad I discovered you, love your content x
welcome! :) glad you’re here
Wow, your voice is amazing, and now you cleared all my doubts with bujo tysmmm ❤❤🎉🎉
I'm so glad!
I didn’t realize how much I needed this vid 😂~ I’m actually excited about setting up my bullet journal!!! So glad your channel popped up in my recommendeds ~ sub’d 🤗
welcome to the channel! :)
Loved your video. Thanks for taking the time out to do it. I'm new at this and I'm just starting to set my bujo up for the new year. Your video made me realize what I can do outside of the basic bujo format. It did mean ripping out a few pages but it was worth it. Thanks again and all the best in 2024!
oh wow! thank you so much
Super helpful! Thank you! ❤
You're so welcome!
WAHHH THIS WAS SO AMAZING! I’m really excited to start my bullet journal! I hope to use it to organize my thoughts and feelings to regulate my emotions and also to organize my life because I’m always forgetting stuff lol! I subbed like one minute in because you’re so calm and wonderful!!! I can’t wait to watch more of your videos along my journey!! 😍❤️
YAYY welcome to the channel
your dorm looks great! good luck this school year!!
tysmm :))
Thank you for this helpful video, I really appreciate the background info and examples. I'm starting a bullet journal for the first time this year, even though it's currently more like a planner I drew out with monthly art pages. Still, I'm excited to use stationary from my favorite artists and have an aesthetic journal to reflect in at the end of the day, and maybe even cross off a few goals.
yayy! so excited for you
Thank you! This was a great video and I hope to start one soon :)
exciting!
Thank you for this useful video. Please keep posting your insights and experiences. God bless you 🌸🌿
Thank you! You too!
Hi! What a great video for us beginners. You were very thorough in your presentation of the bullet journal system. I have been a paper planner person for going on 7 years and am starting bullet journaling in April. I am going to start small so I can build the habit, but if I like it, I would like to incorporate design into it. Your art work is mind blowing! I have a hard enough time with a ruler and a straight line. 🤣 I hope to gain the courage to try something with markers. Drawing stick people is where I’m at. Sigh. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
haha thank you so much! it just takes a bit of time and lotssss of pencil sketching for me to draw :)
Your Bujos are so pretty!
aw tysm!
Thank you so much for this video. Starting a journal can be so overwhelming for a beginner like me.
you're welcome! hope it's a little encouraging haha
A wonderful video! You made it very clear that a bullet journal don't has to be artsy (especially referring to the original idea) but can be. The only point I miss are the collections from Ryder Carroll. Next to habit tracker ect often seen on yt one can also use brain dump pages or journal/ taking notes on a specific topic for example on the last book one read or for work or school. And then an index come in handy. I like the idea on not having thousands of sticky notes and random papers with notes but just one BuJo. Also (as said in a different comment) reflecting and adjusting is a big thing, and the bujo gives you a lot of freedom for that.
i agree! and yeah you make a great point with the other collections that are available :).
Hii, I've been very interested in bullet journalling, the art, the productivity combined really spoke to me..though I was overwhelmed tha past 2 years, so thank you for the clear guide
yay i'm glad the video is helpful!
@@mingostudioUpdate:) I just started my own bullet journal😆💗
Wow! You say in this vid that you were on the way to 10k subs - that was 4 months ago and you're already almost on 16k! BOOM! Congrats!
This was a super awesome guide! Thanks so much! Can't believe I only found you now - can't wait to watch some more #Subscribed
THANK YOUU :))
Helpful, even if ur experienced with bullet Journaling good to brush up the basics 🙃🙃
absolutely!
Well done video
ty
This was THE MOST helpful video for someone who knew NOTHING about where to start so thank you for existing 🫶🏽 starting my bujo journey this month! Any tips on which journal I should buy as a beginner?
Or any grid journal like the one in the beginning of the video will be fine?
yay i'm glad it was helpful! i always recommend A5 (or any size) dotted journals like Archer & Olive, Notebook Therapy, and Kuma Stationery. All 3 are linked below my videos in the description boxes. However, if you're looking for something cheaper, you can find simple dot grid journals on Amazon (like Paperage.) Good quality, maybe a little thinner paper, but gets the job done haha. :)
Thank you so much! I got the one from Amazon since I’m just starting out. I start my bujo journey this week and I’m sooo excited!
@@arayofdeb yyayyy how exciting!
Hey this is a great video, I have been contemplating bullet journaling for a long time but decided new year, may as well. What held me back a bit was perfectionism and fear of making mistakes or drawing bad things - any tips on how to get over that?
thank you! honestly i’m a perfectionist too haha and there was a while (and sometimes still) when i get in a creative slump just bc something i drew didn’t turn out how i wanted. but i think it’s good to remember that your bujo is like a time capsule and even if something isn’t perfect, it still holds memory. instead of focusing on making spreads aesthetically pleasing, i think it’s good to remember that in a year or two when you flip back through the pages you won’t remember the “mistakes” in your designs, but more how your life was at that period and how much you’ve grown since. this helps me stay motivated to keep journaling through times of low creative energy. hope it’s helpful! 🤎🤎
Hi! I am super new to the bullet journal world but I love using ohuhu alcohol markers... How do you prevent bleed through onto other pages?
i actually draw on sticker then glue it in! i have a full tutorial here if you're interested: czcams.com/video/iOcdERs6sCw/video.htmlsi=rWr2q1OthiLupf5O
Thank you so much for this video, I had almost given up on BJ’ing.
glad my video was helpful!
I need a beginners video for the beginners video lol cause im still not 100% sure what a future log vs monthly vs weekly log is for
no worries! they’re all basically for planning ahead and writing any events or todos and any other things to remember but on different scales. a weekly log/spread is events on the weekly scale, the monthly on the monthly (like a monthly calendar), and the future log or yearly log is usually for 12 months. although some events may overlap on all three, i find it’s helpful bc i may not make a weekly until the sunday before. so having a place to store an event/to-do happening that week, like on a monthly calendar or yearly overview, is helpful to keep myself in check. it’s like a little migration system. lmk if this answers your question! :)
@@mingostudio Ok im getting it. Thank you sm! Yes this answered my question
I loved the idea of bullet journaling but blank pages scare me. I’ve seen a few CZcams’s offer premade bujo but I don’t need all the tracking pages. 😩🤦🏻♀️ So I tend to go to planners. Disc bound systems tend to work for me since I’m able to add and remove pages as needed.
that’s so valid. as long as you found a system that works !!
♥️👍
Hi! New follower. I’m 12, and I am so inspired and want to make a bullet journal but I don’t have a book for it and my parents don’t have my children money so we can’t afford it and I’m in Sri Lanka an Asian but thank you for your help❤❤😊
ty for subbing! maybe you have an old journal or notebook at home that you can use instead of buying a new one? :)

Hi sophie! Tmmr is my birthday on 17 can u pls mention it in ur bujo pls pls ❤❤❤
happy early birthday !! :)
I got myself a bullet journal this week, and have been watching videos and tutorials the whole weekend on how to get started (trying to get inspired) and your video has been the most helpful by far! I want to use my bullet journal more for creative self-expression, gratitude journaling and reflection, and keep it as a time capsule. Thank you for your tips and examples - gave me so many exciting ideas! P.S. love your Alice in Wonderland theme & the letter you wrote to your future self idea! ❤
thank you so so much! glad the video is helpful and excited for you to start your bujo journey :)
I like this girl lol
LMAO thanks 😭
@@mingostudiojus followed u on ig😉
Weekly spreads don't even exist in the basic bujo method
once again, everyone looks at the bujo method differently and has their own opinion.
@@mingostudio I commented that because you said the weekly spread came from the book. It doesn't
I really don't like your intro. Bullet journaling is not just about planning. It's about reflection and learning to live your life intentionally. Intention is at the core of the bullet journal.
That being said, I think your points about starting now and expecting imperfection were good.
please remember that this video is my opinion! everyone has their own interpretation of the bullet journaling method
