RULES

  1. Be nice. If you need to preach or to hate on anyone, I will show you the door.
  2. Keep it on-topic. Definitely NOT on topic: politics, pornography, bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia.
  3. No ads. Product reviews and critics are welcome, as well as links to your own personal blog and videos provided they’re not product placement and that they are related to journaling.

I got into bullet journaling a few weeks ago. I looked at a bunch of resources that went into detail, but I felt like I didn't have the big picture. The Absolute Ultimate Guide covers the motivation, what bullet journaling is all about, and details for getting started quickly, all in one relatively short post.

They had me at “Potato”, that’s definitely the magic word to engage my attention -

“The Bullet Journal is like a potato.

It seems boring and bland and easily replaced by flashier starches like couscous and black forbidden rice, but the potato is special not for what it is but it what it can become. Tell couscous to turn into a French fry, and we'll talk. Until then, the potato is king simply because it can be whatever you want it to be. “
