I want to Bullet Journal LESS now that I've read this than I did before.

There are some good concepts in the book but it's not much different than any other goal-setting guide, and at times it is extremely annoying because every other paragraph is a badly-conceived metaphor. TOO MANY METAPHORS. The book (like many "productivity" books) fetishized Japanese corporate culture and I am kind of sick about reading white American guys' interpretation of kaizen or wabi sabi or kanban or kon mari or whatever.

I love the simplicity and depth of the Bullet Journal Method. Easy to get started, but with incredible potential in the long run. The book has two parts: the first one describes the 'how', the second part the 'why'. I learned valuable lessons from both parts. But reading the book is just the first step; implementing it and working with it for a couple of weeks/months is what it comes down to.

I have used the bullet journal before, but I didn't know how to prioritize and track my major goals, much less ask the important questions about why I wanted to achieve those goals.

Ryder Carroll explains the basic bullet journal flow, but the book takes it further, asking *why* we do things and freeing us from feeling like we have to do everything on our lists.

Really liked the book, allowed me to dive deep into the system and had many helpful exercises. Really, really liked it.

I really enjoy using this method of task and calendar managing and look forward to using it to help me with my doctoral work. Highly recommend.

Read this at the suggestion of someone else...it helped them, and the notebook method he used seemed to work for him. I read the book and started using some of the suggestions in organizing my own schedule. There is little that is earth-shattering or new in this approach, it Carroll puts forth some simple explanations about the "why" of bullet-journaling that promote mindfulness -- which is always helpful. I have shared this resource with some other colleagues, who have also found it helpful.

The first and third sections of the book are superb but the second is a slog of seemingly random ideas presented in no good order. There is good advice, but he spends too much time standing on the shoulders of the giants he quotes without going into details.
I bullet journal and feel this book helped re-invigorate me, but I wish this book it was about 150 pages shorter, closer to the size of one of his notebooks.

I’m a bullet journal devotee, but this book is helping me take my practice to the next level. Section 3, where Carroll breaks down the philosophy behind the bullet journal was amazingly helpful. I think anyone, from the BuJo curious to the dedicated fan will find many useful hints in this book.
