Do you use a Bullet Journal?

[CinnamonSugar]

And if you do, how does it help you?

watching YouTube videos about it, they all seem like glorified day-timers

what am I missing?

I don't seem to have the discipline to use a journal. I had/have an online blog that I kept up to date for several years but when I retired and didn't have much going on there was nothing to write about so I only made a few entries in the last year.

SF has become my Bullet Journal!

I get the impression it’s mostly for the younger ppl trying to juggle a lot of things. As far as “productivity” it wouldn’t help me even at work b/c I may start out with a ‘plan’ but inevitably things change; flexibility and thanking on my feet is more what’s needed

I’m not even sure myself, @JaniceM . For every YouTube tutorial, there’s a different explanation or technique.

here’s the Wikipedia entry :

Thanks for the info!
It certainly looks complicated!!
When I first started working from home I had a basic Daytimer planner, but decided a calendar on my desk works just as well.

I used the equivalent of one when I owned and ran a business but have no use for one now.

I too, didn't know what that term meant, so Janice,
thanks for asking,
and thanks for posting about it, Cinnamon,
and I enjoyed looking at the link!

I did use a spiral notebook, pretty much the same way, and enjoyed keeping it handy. I did find it very helpful, as well as enjoyable, during those years.

I guess a Bullet Journal is a day planner on steroids. Well, if you need it, use it. But as close to a Bullet Journal, for me, is when I fill my 7 day pill organizer.

I've started journals...never kept up with them. I do make good use of the notepad and calendar (events) apps on my phone though.
