Aleixie’s Reviews > The Bullet Journal Method: Track Your Past, Order Your Present, Plan Your Future > Status Update

❝Sandy's habit of sitting down with her bullet journal became as effortless as brushing her teeth.❞

🤨 that's not exactly motivating for ME who constantly forgets to brush her teeth

Okay, starting over. I was about 80% through it before I put it down. I only vaguely remember what I read the first time around, so I'd rather start from the beginning and get all the context.

❝don’t know about you, but I deeply hate doing dishes. It’s stupid, I
know. I’ve tried to make it a mindfulness practice, a way to
unplug, but no... My partner at the time wanted to learn how to cook. Developing
that skill forced me to spend my nights begrudgingly bulldozing the
ectoplasm off our kitchenware. And so it went. She would come
home, quickly undo my culinary exorcism from the previous
evening.❞ LOL

❝A new notebook is not about starting over—it’s about leveling up.❞

go off babe

❝Your Future Log functions as a time machine that reveals the outline of the future you’re building, so you can course correct if necessary.❞

more insightful comments. this bullet journal idea is really starting to come together, it's starting to make sense why it works and why people like it

❝We rewrite things until we get them done or they become irrelevant.❞

oh I love that

❝True efficiency is not about speed; it’s
about spending more time with what truly matters. ❞

that's an interesting take on efficiency, I might give this interpretation a chance, call it trying a new perspective

❝It’s pretty much impossible to hand-transcribe lectures or meeting conversations verbatim. When we write by hand, we’re forced to be more economical and strategic with our use of language, crafting notes in our own words. ❞

that is a skill, I'd argue, and one that needs constant practice to do well

❝We can’t be true to ourselves if we don’t know what WE want, and more importantly WHY, so that’s where we must begin.❞

❝track the past and order the present so that you can design your future❞

🥲🥰🥺
