  • Ryder Carroll, author of "The Bullet Journal Method", struggled with organization and productivity before creating his own system: the bullet journal.
  • Carroll's system, which combines elements of a to-do list and a journal, helps users track the past, order the present, and design the future.

Insights from Ryder Carroll's Bullet Journal Method:

1. Decision Fatigue and the Power of "Getting it Out": Carroll emphasizes that our brains are overwhelmed by too many choices, leading to decision fatigue. The solution? Get all your tasks out of your head and onto paper, or a digital list. This creates space for your brain to prioritize and focus on what truly matters.

2. Time Blocking: Adding Structure and Urgency: Instead of just listing tasks, time blocking assigns a specific time frame for each task. This creates a sense of urgency and structure, motivating you to complete the task within the allotted time.

3. The Importance of Daily Reflection: Both morning and evening
