Business. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. Economics. HTML:The long-awaited first book by the founder of the enormously popular Bullet Journal® organizational system.
For years Ryder Carroll tried countless organizing systems, online and off, but none of them fit the way his mind worked. Out of sheer necessity, he developed a method called the Bullet Journal that helped him become consistently focused and effective. When he started sharing his system with friends who faced similar challenges, it went viral. Just a few years later, to his astonishment, Bullet Journaling is a global movement. 
The Bullet Journal Method is about much more than organizing your notes and to-do lists. It's about what Carroll calls "intentional living": weeding out distractions and focusing your time and energy in pursuit of what's truly meaningful, in both your work and your personal life. It's about spending more time with what you care about, by working on fewer things. His new book shows you how to...
  *  Track the past: Using nothing more than a pen and paper, create a clear and comprehensive record of your thoughts.
  *  Order the present: Find daily calm by tackling your to-do list in a more mindful, systematic, and productive way.
  *  Design the future: Transform your vague curiosities into meaningful goals, and then break those goals into manageable action steps that lead to big change. 
Carroll wrote this book for frustrated list-makers, overwhelmed multitaskers, and creatives who need some structure. Whether you've used a Bullet Journal for years or have never seen one before, The Bullet Journal Method will help you go from passenger to pilot of your own life.

The "bullet journal method" (the practice) is a series of useful albeit lifehacky techniques: a nice notebook in a useful form factor, with numbered pages to facilitate an index; the consistent use of short symbols; reviewing portions on a twice-daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. The "Bullet Journal Method" (the book) is yet another rehash of Mindfulness for First World Problems. In no way objectionable in itself, but not unique or particularly compelling.

More useful than I expected. Carrol digs into the “whys” as well as the mechanics of Bujo which is just what I wanted. ( )

I decided to return to this book as I’m interested in doing better organizing all my tasks at work. If nothing else, this book breaks everything down well without all the need to make the aesthetics perfect like most of the bullet journal movement seems to be. ( )

This book feels like it wants to be a guide-to-life book instead of a book about how to take better notes.

It has some good tips about how to take better notes, but it's mixed so deeply with a "life guide" that it becomes sort of an awkward "guide-to-life through taking good notes" theme. I feel like people could easily turn this into an identity, and something about calling it "bujo" and talking about "bullet journalists" as opposed to just "people who take notes" makes it feel like it goes a little too far into "eccentric lifestyle". It's ok if it's just a journal and not a be-all-end-all-for-life.

Again, the interesting parts are deeply embedded in the above so I can't just recommend "read section x, skip section y" or anything like that, but there's some "this one neat trick will change your life" vibe to it that just really felt disingenuous and made parts of it hard to read. ( )
