THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Transform your life using the Bullet Journal Method, the revolutionary organisational system and worldwide phenomenon.

The Bullet Journal Method will undoubtedly transform your life, in more ways than you can imagine’ Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning

In his long-awaited first book, Ryder Carroll, the creator of the enormously popular Bullet Journal organisational system, explains how to use his method to:

  • TRACK YOUR PAST: using nothing more than a pen and paper, create a clear, comprehensive, and organised record of your thoughts and goals.
  • ORDER YOUR PRESENT: find daily calm by prioritising and minimising your workload and tackling your to-do list in a more mindful and productive way.
  • PLAN YOUR FUTURE: establish and appraise your short-term and long-term goals, plan more complex projects simply and effectively, and live your life with meaning and purpose.

Like many of us, Ryder Carroll tried everything to get organised – countless apps, systems, planners, you name it. Nothing really worked. Then he invented his own simple system that required only pen and paper, which he found both effective and calming. He shared his method with a few friends, and before long he had a worldwide viral movement.

The system combines elements of a wishlist, a to-do list, and a diary. It helps you identify what matters and set goals accordingly. By breaking long-term goals into small actionable steps, users map out an approachable path towards continual improvement, allowing them to stay focused despite the crush of incoming demands.

But this is much more than a time management book. It's also a manifesto for what Ryder calls "intentional living": making sure that your beliefs and actions align. Even if you already use a Bullet Journal, this book gives you new exercises to become more calm and focused, new insights on how to prioritise well, and a new awareness of the power of analogue tools in a digital world.

Critic reviews

‘Bullet journaling is one of the most elegant and effective productivity systems I've ever encountered. It will not only help you get more organised but will also help you become a better person. I highly recommend this book (and the method it details) for anyone looking to get more out of life’ Cal Newport, author of Deep Work
‘Whether you are an avid journaler or have always wanted to explore the benefits of journaling, The Bullet Journal Method simplifies the power of putting pen to paper and will undoubtedly transform your life, in more ways than you can imagine’ Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning
A month in, and I am surprised by how well this system has kept me on task. I have retired my other organising apps. The physicality of my notebook stops me from getting distracted when I am planning my day. It is nice to have a single log of where and how I spend my time. And, crucially, I am much more productive. My email inbox no longer dictates my priorities for the day’ Lilah Raptopoulos, Financial Times
‘As well as the journal’s ability to organise and prioritise tasks, the popularity of pages dedicated to tracking aspects such as mood and gratitude has led experts to believe that bullet journals could be effective in combatting anxiety – as they make tasks easier to approach and deal with’ Independent
‘I've been using my bullet journal daily since the beginning of January, and I'm low-key obsessed!’ Buzzfeed

This audio book and the written version are very well put together. In both the dialogue with the e reader and listener is consistent clear and concise. The methods in both are easy to follow and shockingly easier to follow. In a nutshell I found this book/audio very useful in tracking my past, organising my present and planning for my future. Based on the instructions I plan to use this method to see how my life has changed. I highly recommend this book/audio to anyone who is seriously about living life to the full. Wishing you well.

This was just what I needed. and my first audio book too. Well read! I enjoyed your writing.
This is my first year Bullet Journalling. I was drawn to the idea but had many questions about the concept and how it would work. Now I am super excited- and grateful that you put all this context to it. For me My Bullet Journal will be my Planner,Diary, Sketch Book, Habit Tracker just to name a few. All in one place. I also absolutely love how this concept gets me to Stop and focus on me, meditate and live, not just exist. Thank you again for sharing amidst the vulnerability.

Thank you for sharing your story & this gem

I thought this might be extremely dry to listen to but instead I found it inspirational and engaging until the end. Its the 1st of June 2020 tomorrow I get to start my very first bullet journal! I'm looking forward to it thanks again Ryder Carroll. 🍻

Bravo Ryder

Although the methods of bullet journaling are explained, the real value is in understanding the whys of each part of a bullet journal.
