One of the major draw backs for me was I needed to carry another notebook as well as my laptop. I used the system as such for 6 months, it worked pretty well. Ī bullet journal is meant to be an analog system, it is meant to cut a digital divide.

This is proven out by many research articles and blog posts. The idea behind analog and writing things down is that the comprehension of the notes is better, and the entire process intends to be an exercise in mindfulness. The downfall for me was the analog limitations. It gave me guidelines to help it keep the chaotic good, organized. Then, I came across this method called bullet journaling where it took my idea of tossing all the ideas out of my head and into a list of sorts. Also, their web clipper extension is an astounding tool. Evernote was also awesome because I spend the vast majority of my life in front of a computer and being able to copy paste and append to my notes is great. Then, I began depending heavily on Evernote and stopped writing things down and using the moleskin. I had carried a moleskin for over 6 years, these notebooks were great at being able to jot things down and get the ideas out of my head. “A bullet journal is an analog system for the digital age.” This is fantastic but for knowledge workers sometimes we just need a digital system for a digital age.
