WHO, WHAT & WHY

Who

Bullet Journal® (or BuJo® for short) was created by Ryder Carroll, an digital product designer and author living in Brooklyn, NY. Diagnosed with learning disabilities early in life, he was forced to figure out alternate ways to be focused and productive. Through years of trial and error, he developed a methodology that went far beyond simple organization. Now he focuses on helping others learn what the Bullet Journal method is truly about:the art of intentional living. 

What

Though it does require a notebook, Bullet Journal® is actually a methodology. It's best described as a mindfulness practice disguised as a productivity system. It's designed to help you organize your what while you remain aware of your why. The goal of the Bullet Journal is to help its practitioners (bullet journalists) live intentional lives, ones that are productive and meaningful.

Why

Bullet jourmalling is designed to aid productivity and allows you to 'track your past. order your present and design your future' explains Ryder. It aims to be a visual planning tool and help you to fully engage with the task in hand by giving you a single point of focus leaving you feeling calmer and more in the moment. The framework includes a calendar, tasks, notes and lists and you are encouraged to review unfinished tasks and carry them over to new list, so nothing is ever forgotten.
