Introduction & class review

This is my project for the class by Dylan Mierzwinski. Firstly, this class was beyond my expectations, it was very well delivered and I liked the fact that it focused more on functionality than aesthetics.

Dylan did a great job explaining stuff, although I did skip the Q&A's at the end because I'm not brand new to bullet journaling, just "somewhat new", haha.

Overall, this gets 5/5 stars, honestly! I wouldn't want anything else out of this class! Excellent job.

Who I am... A brief description...

So who am I? It's an important question because you want to know why a bujo (bullet journal) would benefit me right? I'm a freelance illustrator and comic artist. I also do YouTube for fun (but I'm just a "micro channel" haha!), and I have autism and ADHD. So I wanted to create a system that works for my neurodivergent mind.

How I created my Bujo!

For my Bullet Journal, I chose the A6 size which is a pocket-sized notebook. I made that decision because in the past I had a hard time carrying it around with me when I used the common A5 size or other bigger sizes. I also did implement the idea of having a separate notebook for daily spreads, and I chose A6 for that one as well.

For the main bujo, I chose the brand Dingbats with dotted paper because they are environmentally friendly. For the daily bujo, I just took something that was lying around without much thought and it happened to be a Moleskine notebook with dotted paper.

I wanted my bujo to have a theme and since I'm a spiritual person I wanted it to be about my life and spirituality intertwined. Since I already have a calendar from Hobonichi (the Weeks Mega) for events throughout the month, I wanted to use this bullet journal for daily entries, habit tracking and project management. I also wanted a space to write my reflections in just a paragraph each day. I did a bible verse of the week and a tarot card of the week for my spirituality as well.

Here are a few photos of my main bujo and daily bujo:

As you can see, if you actually read the text that is on the pages of my bujo, it can be a little bit confusing because I write in multiple languages. The purpose was mostly to show a messy yet functional journal. I like to decorate it a little bit (I'm an artist after all!), but the main focus is for it to be functional. So with that said, I didn't shy away from making my bujo "ugly" or messy, because it's a tool for giving birth to my creativity, not to already be my masterpiece!
