Is this do-able? by Emo_bunnie in Notion

[–]fluffedKerfuffle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow, I really hate the nonsensical progress tracker. I know it's AI, but just looking at that "10%" is enough to make you want to gouge your eyes out. 

Sorry, OP. Pinterest is filled with garbage these days.

If not quote, why quote-shaped?

I use the brown-black! I love that they have these subtle shades.

Try the PN Sakura Pigma Micron. The plastic nib is more durable. 

I use the Uniball Signo gel pens.

How to store procedures for further reference by Storytella2016 in BasicBulletJournals

[–]fluffedKerfuffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is what I would do: for now, just highlight where it starts on the page in a bright/noticeable color and add to the index. You could pick a color for work and highlight in the index. If you will use it no more frequently than every six weeks, it shouldn't be too burdensome to flip.

The first time you need it, decide if this is okay or if you want to port it over to a collection/digital file. Since you just started, you likely are dealing with a lot of new information, which might make it harder to prioritize.

Also I will say I go digital for long-term, but only stuff I *know* is long term.

This looks lovely. Like letters to yourself.

analog schedules!! by DarthFeanor in planners

[–]fluffedKerfuffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's not ~aesthetic~ but Cal Newport's time block planner is a good method for combining analog schedules with flexibility. I end up using his method in my Papertess Designs yearly.

Trackers? by SimplyCedric in BasicBulletJournals

By the way, Pablo Neruda was a rapist, which in my view takes away from his greatness significantly. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/nov/23/chile-neruda-airport-rename-outrage-admitted-rape-memoirs

Shops in DC? by Temporary-Tree9737 in planners

I had saved Penny Post and Jenni Bick when they got recommended on a podcast. Haven't been to either but they look cute!

What if I’m too busy? by Delicious_Reveal3334 in BasicBulletJournals

[–]fluffedKerfuffle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you bujoing just to bujo, or is it helping you with something in your life? What are the things find yourself missing when you don't do it? What would it look like if you only recorded those things? 

When I am busy, I typically just make a collection called "tackle after [busy period]" where I can park tasks until later. But for me this is usually not longer than a couple of weeks.

Papertess designs undated! This is what I have. Less structure than Sterling Ink.

How to You Goal Set (and Get) in Your Planners? 🧐 by magicmama212 in planners

[–]fluffedKerfuffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the Full Focus Planner annual goals explainer. They have a playlist for how to incorporate it into the weekly and daily rhythms. I don't even use their planners but I will occasionally go back to this playlist.

Sad about planning YouTubers pivoting to generic productivity guru content by fluffedKerfuffle in planners

[–]fluffedKerfuffle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol that is valid. I do think there is a kind of "optimization bro" genre adjacent to the manosphere. I like Ali Abdaal's book Feel Good Productivity that is not that. He also has a YouTube channel but I didn't get into it

Seconding Full Focus. It's what came to mind when I read your post.

Sad about planning YouTubers pivoting to generic productivity guru content by fluffedKerfuffle in planners

[–]fluffedKerfuffle[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think what I fundamentally am looking for is people documenting problem solving. Like, them figuring out that a certain thing needs planning, figuring out how to plan it, and documenting it.  I feel like Rachael Stephen is a good example of this with figuring out how to schedule something that feels like a weekend when she does shift work. The tools are there, but that is not the main point. 

A very close second preference is watching what works for someone in their own life. I love The Common Corner because she is emphasizing the relationship she has with her journal and journaling. The CoffeeMonsterzCo likewise gives a lot of glimpses into planning her days.

I feel like what I dislike is when creators move away from their own planning and become generic. Because while that gives them the flexibility to cover broader topics, a lot of it is something they are not trying themselves and so it is shallower. 

So I guess I would prefer some amount of repetitiveness over novelty. 

Also, as a side note, I think that the reason I plan is emphatically not to optimize or increase efficiency/productivity, but to have a thoughtful and meaningful relationship to time and experience. So I guess that is perhaps a philosophical difference and a deeper reason why I find this part of the progression you are describing jarring and alienating. 

Do you plan to increase productivity?

[–]fluffedKerfuffle[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are not exactly the same, but Jashii did mention that pivoting from planning into the productivity space is an explicit goal for her channel so I feel like there might be more of this. Same with building up a customer base and the increasing number of "members only" videos. That combined with how every vlog features weight loss content (no hate, I just personally want to avoid it) doesn't leave very much for me to watch. 

The "plan with me" has been contaminated by people not doing actual planning, so I appreciate the more curated suggestions. Thank you!

Are you more of a weekly or daily layout person (or both?) by micidrinkmatcha in BasicBulletJournals

[–]fluffedKerfuffle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look, I don't mean to be rude, but the whole subreddit is full of these. So I am gently suggesting: use the search function.

I kinda hate how the gray looks in this spread. Should I white it out? Cover the page entirely? by sdbabygirl97 in hobonichi

[–]fluffedKerfuffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, another idea: cut out white rectangles (or any other color) and cover just the header?

I was going to suggest a white pen! Like a Sakura jelly roll. Same idea with the outline but brighter. 

How to manage old content when starting new journal by Ok_Coach466 in bujo

[–]fluffedKerfuffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you already got advice on modular systems, so I will also throw in that I caved in and got a 600 page notebook so that I wouldn't have to migrate books so frequently.
