The Bullet Journal Method

Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future

By: Ryder Carroll

Narrated by: Ryder Carroll

The long-awaited first book by the founder of the enormously popular Bullet Journal® organizational system.

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.

*Includes a bonus PDF with visuals

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Amazing...

Helped keep me on track, and taught me about the things. Plus, there were great stories and jokes much like “if you don’t like pugs, you heartless monster” 😂🤣 It was great! Will be rereading!

Best book ever!

Everyone should read this book, because this book is therapeutic and helps in every way possible. If you want to change your life, make it better, have a happy and fulfilling life then it is a must to read it.

Excellent Resource

I started bullet journaling for some time now when I stumbled across someone's post on instagram. I looked up her Youtube channel and began bullet journaling using her method. I loved the artsy pages, but didn't really find bujo that useful. So, I stopped for a while. Then, I came across this book and fell in love with bujo all over again. Only this time, with the use of this book, I now understand the how and why of bullet journaling. I found this book to be so helpful that I went out and purchased the hard copy so that I could refer back to it.

BuJo here I come!

This audible was very insightful and the bonus PDF is perfect to reference as I begin my bullet journal journal. Definitely recommend this to those who are just starting to bullet journal as the methods and reasonings for journaling are clearly explained and easy to grasp.

Changed my perspective on BuJo

This book helped me understand the deeper practices and meaning behind the bullet journal method and has already inspired change in my personal and professional life, helping me focus and find meaning in tasks and goals.

Helps to get my life in order!

I have used the Bullet Journal "BuJo" method on/off for a few years, but never actually read or listened to this book about it's creation and use until recently. I got started based on a Facebook feed and some YouTube content that highlighted its use, but this book helps understand it MUCH better. I like the downloadable content that accompanies this audiobook, as it helped to structure my BuJo better. If you are looking to calm your racing mind, get quick info on paper to help navigate a busy day or life - this is THE method I recommend and use regularly now. Very effective for goal tracking, thought processing and journaling all at the same time. Best invention ever, IMO.

As much of a book on psychology as planning

This book is as much on psychology as it is on planning and journaling. I found it so good that I purchased a used copy of the hardback. This method requires more review than the book provides, but I am fine with that result due to the other values gained from the book.

Great audiobook

Great audiobook, I’m doing BUJO for three days and it’s perfect. The only sorry I have about this book that there is no audiable narration.
I’m highly recommend.

Serendipitous

The book I didn't know I needed for more than just a how- to on this organizational tool. There is some well placed humor amidst the life-coaching style wisdom that kept me intrigued enough to listen through to the end. I feared this instructional book would read more like one of the boring college tomes were used to, but was pleased to discover the great was unfounded. The only thing I think could improve the read is only the voice to be a tad more dynamic, but he has a timber that's very easy to listen to. Looking forward to learning more online and with the companion app.
