I’ve heard, of course, of bullet journals, but I have never actually seen one until I ran across this one I was able to check out of my library. It is excellent, I thought, for someone who is interested in setting up and maintaining a bullet journal for the first time. It gives you specific suggestions for how to organize your journal and how to keep up with it daily, and (I liked this the most) it gives you examples of illustrations you can easily learn to make to put into your journal.

Another great Bullet Journal Book. This book includes tons of examples that I want to create in my journal. I can't wait to get started. This book was easy to read page by page or just to flip through.

Creative Concepts For Bullet Journaling

This book has provided a wealth of information to making your journal the way you want it. I will be sure to refer to it from time to time. Strongly recommended for beginners. 😁

I've started bullet journaling, and while I love the ideas found online, I was stoked to find this paperback book on Mother's Day, and I gifted it to myself :-)

It is thicker than my journal but in a similar size so I can keep it nearby as I work. It is full of easy doodles that I want to try, and also has several quotes I want to copy.

My mind retains information better if I write it out which is a major reason I'm trying bullet journaling over other forms of planners that have never worked for me, whether digital or paper. This book allows me to have guides to habit trackers, collections, and other spreads without having to turn the computer on to browse online. Also, unlike the journals on Pinterest, Instagram, etc., I can see on these pages that simple layouts in only pen/pencil can be striking to look at. An artist I am not, but this guide reminds me that simple is okay.

I'm new to bullet journals and found this book helpful. Yes, I could spend hours looking at examples on Pinterest, but this guide gave me easy ideas on what to put into my journal. I really liked the Get Creative pages. I've used many of the ideas to make my pages more attractive.

Great book filled with many great ideas to add your own bullet journal!! I flagged a lot of pages to put into mine 😅

[Kricket · Rating 3 out of 5]

some cute ideas for spreads, but not much I haven't seen already. great for a beginner.

[Kristin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've read multiple books about bullet journaling, but this is probably my favorite so far! So many great ideas!

[Michael Gay · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some good ideas.

Some good “bonus” ideas on using your Bullet Journal in new and creative ways. Good compliment to others out there.

[Christie’s · Rating 1 out of 5]

Meh

Everything in this book can be found for free scrolling through Pinterest or Instagram. Don’t buy this book because you don’t need it.

[Haaike · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mwah, beetje oppervlakkig, beetje teveel lijstjes en te weinig praktische dingen (ik ben nochtans een lijstjesfan, maar zo'n BuJo draait voor mij toch in de eerste plaats om het praktische). En heb ik er nu overgekeken of werd de uitvinder van het systeem, Ryder Caroll, niet eens vermeld? Credit where credit's due, jongens!

[Peter Bradley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Basically, this book is a collection of ideas on how to use a pen and ink system for journaling/project planning etc. It seems useful as a source of ideas, albeit there is a non-utilitarian emphasis on border decorating which I will never use.

Une version simplifiée et imagée de The Method Bullet Journal de Ryder Carroll. J’ai still aimé les nombreux exemples d’utilisation de la méthode.

[Karolina Brzezińska · Rating 5 out of 5]

"The 365 Bullet Guide: How to organize your life, one day at a time." This is a compendium of knowledge about how to plan in your own way, what systems to use. A lot of ideas! In the book we will find ideas on how to draw in our notebook our year, month, week or day. It is very helpful that the author presents many different solutions. So you can test your individual systems at home. We will also find in it a proposal for what drawings can be used. Please note that these drawings are very simple. And it encourages the book - to plan in its own way, even very simple. It has to be clear and understandable for us. For trainers or travelers a great suggestion may be the indicator of the route traveled. Yes, the only thing that limits you is your imagination. You can use terrain, prize pictures for miles traveled, or successive stages on the podium. For travelers there is also a map where they can mark or color the visited parts of the world. It may be used by students or people who want to learn the geography of the world. I sincerely admit that such a map additionally encourages travel :D My favorite part of "The 365 Bullet Guide: How to Organize Your Life at a Time" is, however, an illustration of a house with a list of household chores. This is an incredible help in taking care of your own space. In the book we will also find a list of things to pack or travel planning. I recommend it to anyone who wants to plan in their own way without using a ready calendar!

Having spent about a year bullet journaling, I’ve found much of the culture around it either utilitarian or both overwhelming and shallow. This book was a quick and breezy approach to broadening the methodology, inviting new ideas, and thinking of the different possibilities. In this way, this book offers what most websites and Pinterest pages can’t.

Avid bullet journal users may decide the pickings here are slim, but those open to exploring the BuJo or looking for ideas beyond rapid logging will likely find Compton’s writing style engaging and the content thoughtful.

Since I’ve already adopted two of her ideas into my own journal, that should serve as a pretty solid endorsement.

This is the best bullet journaling guide I’ve read

This is the best bullet journaling guide I’ve read! Not only did it go into extreme detail on what a bullet journal is and what you can do with it, there were so many examples and ideas for spreads and ways to use a bullet journal. I was so inspired after reading this.

[Natalie Brooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 stars. Journaling isn’t my thing, but I appreciated the ideas of what to track in a journal, visually.
A page for birthdays
A page for when did I last / annual chores
A drawing of the house and what spring cleaning steps to take in each room

[Bookreaderljh · Rating 3 out of 5]

nice reminder on what can be tracked with a bullet journal and lots of examples, tips and new ideas. Good reference book for when I have time to concentrate on my bullet journal project.

[Anna · Rating 2 out of 5]

Pulled out a few ideas.

[Jessica Maybury · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this pretty little book. Many pages and ideas are bookmarked for my own work!

[Kathryn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honestly, this is what I wish Ryder Carroll's book had been more like. This is full of creative and fun ideas for bullet journal enthusiasts.

[V Narayanan · Rating 1 out of 5]

The Book tells us how to write diary, track our activities, plan our life and get the best out of it

Like all Time Management Books — it’s better to do something about it than reading books for books are useless

I realised that all failures comes not from our lack of knowledge but from lack of attention, focus and efforts — if we have attention to our priorities we would focus well and when there is focus we would direct our efforts towards it and then results follows

Attention is missing because we are stressed and we try to cool us rather than face the stress productively and then justify it with laziness, greed, ego and emotional complex …

Not a good read.

[Anu Vaarama · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked this book a lot, it is packed with lots of ideas. Although I’m going to read more guides because no one can’t include all the ideas. To collect the best ones for yourself means reading several bullet journal guides. That’s fun and entertaining, too.
Ihan hyvä ideoita täynnä oleva kirja, saapui tänään Amazonista, josta tilasin sen käytettynä. Yksi vika siinä oli mikä ei kylläkään ollut kirjailijan - valtava pesuaineen tuoksu josta tuli huono olo. Kestää kyllä hetken että voin palata kirjaan poimimaan ne itselle parhaat ideat. Suosittelen tätä kirjaa, mutta hajuttomana mieluummin...

[Linda · Rating 2 out of 5]

I should have just read Ryder Carroll's book. This was like a laundry list of... lists. It felt more like a book for a person who had never made a list in their life and had no idea what to put on a list if they did make one than a book for a person trying to understand the concept of bullet journalling. I've gleaned more information on the system from the Bullet Journal website and watching YouTube videos. A bit of a disappointment, really.

[Mary Beth · Rating 2 out of 5]

Well, I have been bullet journaling for a few years now and have read a few of these books. This book is basically a compilation of how to journal and puts little bits of everything in it but nothing very in-depth.
Good if you want to see it but to get more in depth you would need to get a different book with more explanation.

[Courtney Kleefeld · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book on bullet journaling has a ton of bullet journaling ideas with some hand-lettering styles and doodles you can practice with mixed in. One idea in here that I don't remember seeing in a couple other books on bullet journaling that I read was a tip for using bullet journaling to help you learn a new language.
I liked this book.

[WinterGirl83 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very informative with lots of ideas. I liked this better than "How To Bullet Journal", although I did get ideas from both. This one has a lot of diagrams of things to try out for boxes and shapes etc.

[Helen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book teaches us how to use a bullet guide as a diary, journal, to-do list, and charting system for various purposes. Having never seen a bullet guide before, this book gave me lots of ideas on ways to make use of it. I find it very helpful!

[Mikayla Ashton · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the sort of thing I'd normally read but received this for a present. Had some interesting ideas, not all I found useful but it will be different for everyone. And I started my very first bullet journal today so it must have learnt something.
