Hi friends, you have listening to the lazy genius podcast. I'm Kendra and I'm here to help you be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't.

Today's episode, episode 30, the lazy genius bullet journals! I know you're so excited. Here's the pitch.

We need to keep up with our lives, our lists, and anything else that's important.

But we use our phone calendar, a paper planner, sticky notes, dry erase boards, anything within grabbing distance to write down the things that matter.

But then we can't find what we need when we need it.

You might have heard about this thing called the bullet journal. It's gotten quite buzzy in the last year or so.

But it just might be the system that you made, truly.

So in the playbook today, we're going pretty simple. We're going to talk about what it is, why it might be fantastic for you, and how to actually use one.

Okay, before we get started on this podcast episode, I have a couple of posts on the blog, one of which is super long, like super long and detailed.

If you have always been overwhelmed by starting a bullet journal, this podcast episode is the best place for you to start, and then that super long post is second. That's the second place to go.

So I will link to it and another one I wrote in the show notes. So please don't miss it.

At that time of this recording, that big long post has over 600 comments. And it has been viewed half a million times.

Like that's crazy y'all. It's straight crazy.

But it's because it really resonates with people I think who are trying to keep this whole bullet journal thing simple.

Alright, so it's a really, really good resource if you've been a little on the fence.

So you can get links to those in the show notes of this episode, the lazy genius collective calm slash lazy slash bullet journal.

Okay.

So what is this bullet journal thing? You've heard the term and how it's changing your cousin Karen's life, but like what act is it actually?

And more importantly, will it work for you?

My favorite way to describe a bullet journal is that it's like a potato.

Potatoes are super boring at first glance. They're bland. They're not colorful. They're really basic.

But oh, to think of all the things you can do with a potato.
