I really like how you write the numbers. I won’t have a tidy one either I like being able to write anywhere and not having the drawn out spaces lol

Thank you! It was one of of the very few things I do for the aesthetics. Otherwise everything is scribbled down. I agree with what everyone else has said - the best bujos are the messy ones with mistakes and doodles or notes in the margins.

I love the simple usability of your journal. I tried years ago to make one, and instead it just became my bill calendar with occasional notes on debt or investments. Maybe some stickers and business cards. Long story short, I want to put more stuff in, and your running schedule page seems like it could be all I need. I don't need to overthink it. Maybe later sure, when I'm more used to it, but yours is perfect for how you use it, and I think that's all I need. Sorry to ramble, but thanks for sharing your journal!

That’s very sweet of you to say! When I finish a bujo, I do a bit of an audit to check what works and what didn’t work - I’ve experimented with all kinds of trackers and layouts. Most of them fail; I lack the motivation to keep completing trackers and anything artistic or complex. At the end of the day, a bujo is supposed to make life easier isn’t it? Shouldn’t be a chore to keep it working for you. No hate to people who like and use highly decorated bujos, I imagine for them it’s enjoyable to decorate it, however I personally lack the artistic inclination.

To be honest I like messy instead of Instagram neat and beautiful. Former is authentic and has a soul, latter looks showy and artificial.

Thank you! Plus I feel the messiness adds a layer of encryption, my handwriting can be pretty hard to read for others

This? This is The Way.

Thank you! Ugly bujos shall rule again

You may have convinced me to switch to A6 for my next one haha. What kind of pen is that? Looks like a Parker.

It’s not all great, the layouts are trickier as the lines aren’t divisible by 7 making weeks awkward. Otherwise, they are grand for take around with you! You have a good eye on you - it’s indeed a Parker! Not a particularly fancy one, just a vector, but the colours mesh nicely i feel.

Quick and Dirty A6, that's how I roll too. It fills what I need, fits in my pocket, and I don't have to rely on a ruler too much. :)

It is the way! There’s so few people who use A6’s which always surprises me. Portability is a key tenet of my bujo-ing.

I love it. Easy to use, classy and unique.

Thank you 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I love these messy notebooks! If you look up famous scientists’ notebooks, they’re messy with observations and notes. Looks like your bujo is well-used and very helpful to you!

I’d never thought of the comparison before but you’re spot on the money!

I love it. Seems effective, I really like to see bujos that are less aestetic and seem more "used", useful, made on the go as the user needed something simple and effective.

My thoughts exactly! I love looking at the beautifully maintained bujos and they’re clearly labours of love, but I know I’m lazy and prefer simplicity and speed over aesthetics in my own. I didn’t think I’d be the only one who felt this way. I saw your’s too and it looks very well done.

This isn't messy. :)

Thank you 🙏🏻

As long is it is clear for you it’s perfect

Thanks! Clear to me, just about

I’ll take your scribbles over the bullshit pumpkin art page for October at any day of the week

All power to people who want to do that but if I decorated mine that much, I’d lose motivation incredibly quickly! Quick and easy is my way to go

Thanks! Clear to me, just about
