I’ve been bujoing for a long time, bought the book as soon as it came out and have been reading the newsletter for a while. I was curious (okay, and a bit anxious) if the course could add anything new to all that knowledge. And I experienced it really did. But cutting all the info and suggestions in small chunks and adding questions, I got a better feel for the knowledge I obtained so far and actu... Show more

I have been looking for tools to help me with my executive functioning. I have been on autopilot for years. I am tired. Last week, I decided to research the BuJo method. The pictures of perfect journals overwhelmed me. I had to go directly to the source. I don't have time to read another book. (I am a doctoral student) I decided to splurge and purchase the course. I am so glad I did. I think this ... Show more

If I was a bit more knowledgeable I would suggest something. But I didn’t know how lost I was till your course and method helped me regain the strength I didn’t know I had. I had given up on life till I rediscover BuJo, it’s saved my life and given me hope. I am now looking at my notebook and feeling hopeful and ready to finally doing the right way, that is, whichever one along the way I find. Tha... Show more

Thank you Ryder for creating this course, I enjoyed your nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout the modules that gave further inspiration and understanding of the concepts. I would recommend captions or transcript to be available for accessibility, otherwise it was easy to follow along and the diagrams were a great visual tool as well. The core system/practice is a good foundation, but the contin... Show more

After trying to read the bullet journal method book, i was afraid to get just as overwhelmed from the cours as I got from reading the book. But this was not the case! Every chapter has been easy for the mind. Meditating even. Love that I could continue wherever I left of. This was an amazing gift to get through the scolarship aswell, but I feel 6 months is to short time. Made me a bit stressed. No... Show more

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was paced correctly, and the bite-sized videos were perfect for watching when I had a few moments to absorb the lesson. The production quality and graphics were amazing. In terms of content, I had read the BuJo book a while ago, and so was a little worried that this would just be a rehash of the book. It was certainly not! I think the updated focus on the "wh... Show more

I think I had never really grasped the reflection part of the method. and that is its power, I'm seeing now. The weekly reflection in particular cements the "what the hell do I do with all these bullets" questions. I often found myself thinking about different ways the course should be structured, but honestly, I can't say any of my ideas were that better-I'd say to people, just sit with it. be in... Show more

I've been BuJoing about three years. When I began it was a way to track notes and action items for work. (After 25 years of working in one area, I had begun a new job in a completely new field.) I started this course at the same time I setup my third BuJo. These lessons have helped me expand my BuJo into a true "life tool." I'm getting more comfortable using it for reflection -- and then using tho... Show more

Extensive course put into perfect bit sized pieces. Bullet Journal saved my life and my career. The Basics and Beyond course has answered questions I did not even know I had. It is helping my live my life according to my goals and values with mindful intention. The calm that has come over my life is priceless. In 2018, I found BuJo: Page numbers and an Index made a huge impact! I have introduce... Show more

First of all, thank you. I’ve been experimenting with a variety of ways of organizing my “to do list“ and always had a difficult time of doing so. I really appreciate the fact that you have connected the tasks to intentionality. Rather than making up a laundry list of things to do that leave me frustrated because I have not accomplished everything that I set out to do, your calls for constant refl... Show more

I appreciate the clarity and simplicity that you present the material. Bujo has many moving parts and appear complicated and overwhelming at first. With practice, I've learned that Bujo is actually quite simple. I appreciate the intertwining of mindfulness and productivity. I also like the repetition of certain concepts to help them stick: reflection, intentions, etc. One suggestion I would make i... Show more

I have been practicing BuJo for about 9 months using primarily the daily and month logs. This course has help me to add a weekly ritual into my practice. Weekly reviews have really helped me to make progress on my monthly goals by further breaking down those goals into achievable steps. I have also started my first custom collection!

Jeanine van Hemert

I loved the course; it's clear, broken up in small chunks that are easily digested and help you set up a BuJo as you go. My main challenge is to let go of wanting to do it right and just begin. I love how it connects my intentions and insecurities with day to day tasks and continuous reflections. I used to have different to do planners, meeting notes and a diary to reflect - I can't wait to start ... Show more

I love how clearly and granularly this is broken up. I haven't started the BuJo method yet as I wanted to complete the course to get an overview, but when I do start (TODAY) it will be easy for me to find exactly what points I need to refer to depending on which part of the process I'm engaging with. From what I've seen this method is something I feel I need especially now with where I'm at in lif... Show more

I mentioned this in an earlier comment, but I’d love a spread-sized flow chart that walked through the entire process - chapter to task bullet and back out again. I find that when life gets really distracting it’s easy to turn a BuJo into a to do list. I’ve kept the booklet that came with my BuJo and use that daily, but think some slides or a flow chart would be handy for people who have paid for ... Show more

This course is FABULOUS! Why? I completed it and was fully engaged and immersed in the journey. The bite size approach to learning allowed me to take it in and integrate the teachings. I experienced the program as an invitation to both engage with a container to hold my messy life while deepening as a human being. It is beautifully and professionally designed. The interface is simple and effective... Show more

I read Ryder’s Bullet Journal Method book a few years back. I’ve been diligent and getting a lot of value out of the daily and monthly logs as well as custom collections since that time.

I'm glad to see this original focus of the system, on simplicity and efficiency, emphasized here over the beautiful, time-consuming spreads so prevalent on social media.

I would have liked to see many more real life exam... Show more

I am grateful that I took this course. Despite reading Ryders book 3 times so far something felt off for the last months. I´m using a Bujo since April 17 and I can see how the system itself has evolved, as there were a few things that were even new to me. This course helped me to see my Bujo more as a tool for intention, reflection and prioritization instead of a pleace to cross off as much to do´... Show more

The course was well done, with interesting and concise lessons. It is definitely designed to help people get most out of Bullet Journaling, and also to get the most out of our individual lives, both on a daily level, and on a "big picture" level. It helps us be more reflective and thoughtful, and is also nuts-and-bolts practical. The way it is split up makes it easy to do a little at a time, or... Show more

Loved the course - I'm going to do it again because it was so quick and simple but yet PACKED with great content. Now that I'm finishing up my first journal which I did during my first pass through the course - I want to learn it all again! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wanted to try bullet journaling. It's the perfect introduction & deep dive!

I discovered BuJo in 2018. Even though I wasn't consisten with my practice at that time as I am now in 2022, BuJo gave me the tools to find peace of mind at that moment and still does now.

I need to thank Ryder for sharing BuJo practice with us and for the great teacher he is. T... Show more

Jesse Hirakawa

I’ve been using the bullet journal method for years and I still pick up the book for a good chapter reading. However, listening and watching this course was an amazing refresher and I continue to learn something new each time. I’m already re-watching sections! Thank you.

I have BUJO'd for several years, failed, succeeded, over-reached. This course is the first time I have taken my notebook from a to-do list to a practice. The Reflections are a new introduction to my practice. Loved the course and hope to use it periodically to review and adjust my course. THANK YOU! You did fantastic. I learned so much.

I really enjoyed the course. I am going thru it a second time . Also I am using it to drive my practice. Revisiting the sections every time I do a weekly and monthly ritual. Every time I revisit I find something small I missed or did not give much thought too. This course has really opened my mind to how bullet journaling is changing my life. Thanks, I am glad I have this course!

Keri Hobert

I loved this course. It helped me better understand the underlying concepts, especially with reflection and migration. The format was easy to learn from and take notes on, and the segment lengths were just right. It was very helpful to me to be reminded (repeatedly!) that this is a process, and that the process is living.

I am grateful for the creation of this course. The introduction of the toolkit that is Bullet Journaling gives me the security to explore more of what I want to cultivate out of life. The power of reflection and migration feels amazing to me to be able to choose my path instead of just surviving.

Marsha Hoffmann

I've read the book but some how this course made everything seem brand new as if i never even read the book! The concept of threading terrifies me because i like everything separate but Im excited to challenge myself to see if this would work better for me.

Brittany Lynn Raymond

I loved being able to develop a deeper understanding of the fundamentals. I enjoyed learning at my own pace, and found it comforting to see others writing about the same struggles I was experiencing. It's empowering to have a set of tools that can help me develop the appropriate actions I'll need to take to get closer to achieving my goals. Can't wait to start making it my own!

This course was excellent and really provided a lot of deeper insight as well as fresh ideas on how to bring my bujo practice to the next level. Not only did it clarify a few areas for me, but it gave me renewed desire to focus less on how much I'm getting done and more on what I'm doing and why. One area that I would love to see expanded on is how you use your daily log (and past daily/weekly/m... Show more

Fantastic course! What I really loved about this course is each section and concept was broken down into smaller bite sized videos. I felt like I could take my time, learn at my own pace, without feeling overwhelmed. I also think it's valuable to keep the written notes at the bottom, as this helps follow through on trickier concepts. Would definitely recommend this course to a friend. Thank you Ry... Show more

Thank you for this course! I have been iterating with different interpretations of what I understood from the book, but having this detailed definitions, processes and diagrams make me notice all the things I can improve.

I found the course very useful; it help elaborate many things from the book. The book and this course work well together. The length of the videos was ideal. The short and to the point videos focused on a single main idea, and It was easy to pause after each one and reflect on it. That made for much better retention of the information. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this deep dive ( for me ) into the BuJo world. Everything thing really helped me see the big picture. From the short, well produced videos, to the clear graphics and Ryder’s clear and moving explanations and instructions. I really like the questions/prompts that kept me thinking and questioning my intentions or any block that came up for me.To be honest, at times it was very ... Show more

Adding the weekly ritual was brilliant. Also, this time around, adding notes was life-changing. I’m not sure how it never worked for me before, but it struck the right chord this time. Well worth my time and money. Thanks so much!

I have been using the bullet journal method for nearly a year and it has brought so much peace to my life. This course was perfectly timed as I was coming to the end of my 3rd Bujo journal.

But before I go through that, is th... Show more

I think it is so interesting what can be gleaned/absorbed from different formats. Reading the book (now annually) and then taking this fantastic course, I notice different aspects of the method resonate.

I think the course provides a lot of substance to the tag of “a mindfulness practice disguised as a productivity process”.

The emphasis on the practical importance of “intention” throughout the course resonated... Show more

Forget about fancy spreads and calligraphy (although do them if it makes you happy). I’m no artist, but if, like me, you’ve read Ryder’s book and have a BuJo practice, you may be wondering why this course (which isn’t cheap) is valuable. Ryder has expanded the content to encompass the purpose/why of being organized, and developed a thoughtful and useful methodology that encourages reflection over ... Show more

This class really taught me how to embrace bullet journaling. It went beyond the book and tutorials on Pinterest. I feel better prepared to move forward with my practice. It’s making a difference in keeping me on track and productive.

I am very enthusiastic about this course. I have read the book and also attended some workshops. But the course takes everything to a new level.

I have read the book and have been doing Bujo for years. This course is an excellent overview and, frankly, allows me to go back and review things (the new chapter section, especially) faster and easier than the book (the book is great but isn't always where I am setting up my new book). This program makes it easier to get back on track after a busy period gets me off my journaling.

I just finished the course, and I enjoyed everything about it. The content is delivered clearly in digestible chunks with aesthetically pleasing visuals and an intuitive platform. While I've been bullet journaling for years, it served as a great way to revitalize my practice. I will continue to revisit the videos, resources, and community.

I was afraid it would be nothing new, but I was wrong 😊 this course goes in greater depth than the book and brings things into practice. I’m sure I will go back to parts of it when I need them, because it’s to much to learn and apply all at once. I have enjoyed every minute of it and the way it is set up is great too. Small bits of information to absorb at your own pace.

Bullet Journal is the only productivity method that I have been able to sustain for almost a decade. I've tried them all- online and off. I was a fan of the method and owned Ryder's book.

If you are serious about Bullet Journaling, or if you are simply serious about your personal growth you should not miss this course.

Simply reading the book will not give you the same level of underst... Show more

Despite spending, some might say wasting, my life looking at what I was doing wrong and how to put it right.

Prior to taking this course, I had dabbled in Bullet Journaling on and off for several years.
