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...

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:

  1. 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 …

The book presents a simple, but flexible, system, which is actually a mindfulness practice. Have all the important data in one place. Don't forget important events. Write things down before you do them to mitigate impulsive decisions (I'm a master of those). Set goals for the day/month, and define priorities (goals, not obligations!).

Reflect on the past to notice patterns. Only once you notice something you don't like, you can take action on it. This is the most important part of the system, in my opinion. In addition, it also makes you notice things you did well, a very important practice.

In the old days, you used to depend on interruptions. Now interruptions depend on you. 💪

The one productivity method that works for me

5 stars

I encountered the BulletJournal method in 2016, and originally, I resisted it a bit, despite my curiosity... I have tried so many methods to stay on top of my tasks and feel like my life isn't spinning out of control on a regular basis. Some worked ok, some frustrated me thoroughly, some were just too high-maintenance (looking at GTD here), and having my productivity system fall apart was a pretty regular experience.

I'm glad I yielded to that curiosity. Like Carroll, I have ADHD, and somehow my brain responds better to a handwriting-(on-paper-)based approach than to digital tools. I also need an approach that provides structure and clarity, while being flexible enough to adapt to my needs and easy enough to keep it up as a daily habit.

The Bullet Journal method is a cross-over between a to-do list, a journal, project planning and, if you want to, even a …
