For years Ryder Carroll tried countless organizing systems, Online and off, but none of them fit the way his mind worked. Out of sheer necessity, he developed a method called the Bullet Journal that helped him become consistently focused and effective. When he started sharing his system with friends who faced similar challenges, it went viral. Just a few years later, to his astonishment, Bullet Journaling is a global movement.

The Bullet Journal Method is about much more than organizing your notes and to-do lists. It's about what Carroll calls "intentional living": weeding out distractions and focusing your time and energy in pursuit of what's truly meaningful, in both your work and your personal life. It's about spending more time with what you care about, by working on fewer things. His new book shows you how to...

Track the past: Using nothing more than a pen and paper, create a clear and comprehensive record of your thoughts.
Order the present: Find daily calm by tackling your to-do list in a more mindful, systematic, and productive way.
Design the future: Transform your vague curiosities into meaningful goals, and then break those goals into manageable action steps that lead to big change.

Carroll wrote this book for frustrated list-makers, overwhelmed multitaskers, and creatives who need some structure. Whether you've used a Bullet Journal for years or have never seen one before, The Bullet Journal Method will help you go from passenger to pilot of your own life.

Nice Ideas, but too Time-Consuming

4 stars

I read this book hoping to get my life in order or more in order with less dependence on digital tools. I tried the method for nearly two years and while it was a beautiful and pleasant way of doing things, I eventually came to the conclusion that my life and responsibilities were too complex and my time too valuable to depend on this method of organizing. It may be that there is some adaptation that would work for me, but I've found that a reasonable mix of digital tools and other less minimalistic methods work better than the notebook did. That said, if the technosphere ever collapses, this will probably be at the top of my list for viable alternative methods.

Metodologia interessante, mas muito auto-ajuda

No rating

Gostei muito de conhecer a metodologia do Bullet Journal e vou incorporar seu uso em 2024, até já comprei um caderno para isso. Único problema é que em determinado momento a leitura do livro se mostrou arrastada pra mim, pois ele possui muito conteúdo de auto-ajuda que não interessava para mim. Segue minha resenha por capítulo, para você ver se interessa ler o livro inteiro ou não. Eu acho que o próprio autor podia seguir seu conceito de menos é mais e lançar uma versão "pocket" do livro. Seria interessantíssimo ter uma versão mais reduzida do livro, de bolso, apenas ensinando a técnica, sem o conteúdo de auto-ajuda. Vamos à resenha por capítulos:

Preparação: me incomodou um pouco o convencimento do autor sobre a eficácia do método. Se estou lendo o livro, já estou curioso a respeito do método, então não considero esse convencimento importante. Considero que o próprio método …

Preparação: me incomodou um pouco o convencimento do autor sobre a eficácia do método. Se estou lendo o livro, já estou curioso a respeito do método, então não considero esse convencimento importante. Considero que o próprio método em si já é convincente por si só, pra quem tem interesse;
O sistema: leia essa parte, esse é o coração do livro, é aqui que você realmente aprende o Bullet Journal, esse poderia ser o livro de bolso;
A prática: auto-ajuda, auto-ajuda, auto-ajuda e auto-ajuda, pule se não tiver interessado;
A arte: complementar ao cap. 2, mas não é essencial pra quem tá começando, leia se tiver interessado apenas;
Conclusão: leia, bem curtinha, dinâmica, lembra o próprio formato do Bullet Journal.

Espero que tenha sido útil

Good even when you've done it before!

4 stars

The book covers both bullet journaling basics but also a variety of task management strategies. It helps reading this book multiple times as you progress through the technique. I mostly bullet journal through an app but the practice of daily journals and reflections help immensly regardless of the medium.
