Bullet Journal as a Time Machine
I have an itch sometimes to go over random pages in my previous BuJos. What I've found is that the best type of record is an event because it truly works as a time machine! I often can remember visuals & sounds from the experience. I love it!
Similar thing is actually with dreams - sometimes I jot key things about a dream and can remember it even after years. That's magical!
What I've found the most useless is actually re-reading my reflection - that feels like a ramble of just thinking about something, detached from real feeling, just purely "head work". So I actually stopped doing that, and now when I want to reflect on something I use my phone and external keyboard (idea inspireed by Ryder's writing setup https://youtu.be/6WLZYeH8L3Q?si=4eY4Vb7z3EKrNct-) and I write thougths to Obsidian (or Reddit as I do it now :D). I find reflection is the most useful in the process but that often feels like a waste of paper when reading it in a few months.
I just wanted to share my love to use BuJo as a time machine and curious to see if any of that resonates :)
