Welcome to Litsy!

I liked this book so much I bought my own set. Yes, it‘s light on specific structural advice, but it includes some fun spreads, interesting ideas, and reassuring advice.

If the Ryder Carroll book is a driving storm, and Hack Your Journal is a gentle rain…this book is like running through a splash pad.

#LitsyCrafters

A lot of useful tips for dot journaling and reinforcement that it doesn‘t need to be complicated. Surprisingly, it didn‘t talk about using electronic devices like an iPad for journaling.

Lots of sample spreads and a light hearted tone made this an enjoyable and useful book to read. If you‘re interested bookshop.org is offering a bundle of the book and a blank journal.

Noy what i was looking for to help me set up my reading journal. #booked2022 #diy

4/5⭐ Quick read with many example layouts covering a wide variety of topics. Includes specific product comparisons, diary/journal-related quotes and informative tidbits, and lots of humor.

Looky Looky - Better than a cookie!

Good book especially for those who are just starting out with #bulletjounaling or trying to get back into it/in a slump (me!). There were some great ideas in there and layout ideas and examples. #bujo #bulletjournal #booked2020 #finishedinaday #afbreadingchallenge2020 #standalone

I was trying to read at a cat cafe the other day, but it was too distracting. 😆

Thank you for sharing this with me Lynn! ☺️ I can't wait to dive in and freshen up my journal!

So 9 months after @mkittysabibliokitty recommend it, I finally got it. 😂 Clearly my dot journal will need to have a TBR section with timeframes!

I got some good ideas (like “to don‘t list”) & I liked the different layout examples. But the basic message is “it‘s your journal, do it how you want.” There‘s a lot of filler info (e.g., how to keep it private 🤷🏼‍♀️).

Overall, it was okay. But save yourself some money & check it out of the library.

1. The link to my book blog is on my profile; Instagram (popcornandbooks15) is mostly pictures of my garden & my border collies. I sell handmade notebooks on Etsy (etsy.com/shop/ThreeTreeWhimsy).
2. Yes & yes!
3. Gardening, hiking, writing, playing games, crocheting. My husband & I also enjoy just hopping in the car & randomly searching for adventure!!
4. I have always wanted to draw!!

I'm enjoying reading everyone's responses!!

So I loved that @catebutler had a beautiful clutch that she puts all her bookish things in when she goes out and I so I went and bought myself one too even though it s not as pretty as hers.
I also picked up this bullet journal but now I‘m slightly intimidated by it. Do any of you guys who already do it have any tips, sources ect to help me make the most of it?

This is a good book full of some sound advice. If you‘ve never tried journaling, maybe now is the time to start. I‘ve toyed with it for a few years and actually started journaling more seriously last month. This book helped me get over my need for perfection. Just start and let the rest fall into place. Plus you can always add a sassy index. 😀

3.5/5

I've been bullet journaling for a few years now, so I wasn't sure how much I'd get out of this book. While I'm pretty settled on the way I do my monthly and weekly spreads, I did find plenty of interesting ideas in this book that I'll try in the future.

It's a fun read for journalers and anyone who aspires to keep a journal.

After seeing so many Littens amazing #BuJo posts, I took the plunge and decided to join the craze. This how to guide was pretty straightforward, with some helpful hints, ideas and useful information about getting started. I‘m excited to let my creative juices flow. If you have any helpful advice or suggestions please share. Thanks in particular to @Captivatedbybooks and @Mdargusch for sharing their journal pages. #Inspired 💕🙌🏻 #Hoopla

Here are some samples from Dot Journaling to give you an idea what it is 😍

@wanderinglynn This is the book that‘s all about Dot Journaling I t gives you basics and examples! I took a screen shot from vk to show you an example of someone‘s super creative journal.. mine is only writing in it for practice

From the first paragraph in chapter 9:
“And I‘m currently employed by a company that turned lists into multimillion-dollar business, so they will always have a special place in my heart.”

It‘s more of a planner, but I‘m excited to set it up and use some of the tips from this book to get started. Oh and stickers and washi tape obvs

Just what I need.....another bookish obsession 😛😍

Getting so many great ideas from this book!

This is definitely for an obsessive-compulsive like me. I am starting tomorrow because of course I already have the notebooks and pens. There will be a “Library List” and “Books to Buy” list, too. She did a great job! Its not a piece of literature but I really enjoyed this treat tonight. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Here‘s my February #wrapup
Still working on Cast A Cold Eye and my second reading of #Dunces for a big buddy read hosted by @emilyhaldi

Challenge | Day 26

I don‘t have the slightest artistic gift, so my bullet journal is just a colorful list.

#journal on #readingresolutions by @Jess7

Very easy to follow! I'm excited to try it out. Any tips? I'm thinking I might not do monthlies bc I have a small purse planner. Amy thoughts or advice is appreciAted!

I loved this book! I feel like it was a great starting pointing point for someone who is new to this type of journaling. I can‘t wait to get my dot journal and get started!

What are your #bulletjournal must haves, tips and/or tricks?

I‘m already two months into my bujo, and this first tip seems to be key if you‘re a perfectionist with a million ideas of what could be.
Glad my library hold for this finally came in.

Here‘s hoping!
Thank you @RebelReader ! I am so excited to start this one! My life revolves around my planner and to-do lists.

Also...is there anything cuter than little baby hands?!?!

I decided to start a #bujo this year & I‘ve really been enjoying it. I‘m using it as my daily journal, agenda & list tracker. So far, so good! While I didn‘t read the tagged book word for word, I did skim through it for inspiration. It had some good ideas & lots of pictures - quite helpful. But, I have to say, lots of this can also be found online. Still, it was worth perusing! Did I mention that I think I have a new washi tape addiction?!?

I love lists and journals. I also can never find a calendar that I really like that either doesn't have enough of what I want or too much wasted space. This book gives easy ways to do journaling. Basically it doesn't have to be perfect...just perfect for you.

I love making lists, but most of them wind up on various pieces of paper scattered between the rooms of my house and my office at work. I borrowed this from the library after seeing some of the posts on here, and I liked it enough to buy my own copy. It's got some great ideas that I definitely want to try out. Now let's see if I'm disciplined enough to keep it all in one place. #blameitonlitsy

Reasons to Readathon: Any excuse to set up a new #bujo spread! How will YOU be tracking your reading for the upcoming 24in48 Readathon? (Reader sticker from @estellasrevenge's Etsy shop. Sign up to participate at 24in48.com!) #readathon #24in48

Finished this one up over breakfast this morning. I found this very helpful and full of great ideas for starting and keeping a bullet journal. The instructions are clear and are set up in a way that makes it easy to mix and match spreads to fit your own life and goals. I think bullet journaling makes sense to me now!

Maybe this says too much about me, but one of the things I‘m most intrigued by in this book is this mention of Fire on Ice cocktails. I just spent about half an hour trying to find the recipe to make one. 🥃🥃

Prepping for the arrival of my new #bulletjournal in the mail tomorrow. I picked the winner for my monthly spread! #bujo #bulletjournaling

Just finished my first book of 2018! Starting to bullet journal is one of my resolutions so I had to read this guide. It‘s very good! Great categories and examples and explanation of the terminology involved. #recommended #dotjournaling #bujo #bulletjournaling

I tried dot journaling last year but didn‘t stick with it. This book is great because it covers the basics with lots of photographed examples. I‘m ready to give it a try again!

Shivering under a blanket with a heating pad. Might as well read this "dot journaling" book to get some ideas for my planner! Also inhaling the scent of reindeer poop (peppermint and chocolate).

While watching the HP marathon on Space, I came across this quote about what to do with old journals. I love a good Potter reference where you would never except one.

New Year's resolution? #bulletjournal

I love journaling and really liked learning about dot journaling. Any chance I get to look at other people‘s pretty journals I take it.

My pages are all set for my personal reading challenge. Next year, I‘m holding myself accountable and will read at least two book bought prior to 2018 (the horizontal books) for every book read that is purchased or borrowed next year (the vertical books) for a total Goodreads Goal of 75 books & Mount TBR goal of 50. The Octopus marks the completion point of the challenge with shelf space to exceed my goals. 😊

Well, one good thing about the Litsy outage - I had no excuse not to start my new bullet journal. I‘ve never done a “fancy” layout, but I wanted a visual aid for my personal 2018 reading challenge. It‘s not super artistic, but it will work for me and do what I need it to do. 😊 That said - I MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!

This book was full of great ideas and suggestions for supplies. Now I‘m all inspired to start planning out my 2018 journal.
