why I love my bujo

Mainly it helps me to remember what actually happened.

I had a big fight with my parent, accusations were made, some were blown out of proportion. The fight was about something that happened few years ago.

I was able to step back and actually read what happened.

I was able to reflect, and filled about 10 pages in my bujo. I briefly thought about ripping the pages out because I didn't want to be reminded about that fight. It was that intense.

Instead I glued the pages together. Not completely, I added some clear tape to the top of the first and last page as a carrier for a second type of tape that I wrapped around the pages at the top, combining the pages to a stack. I now can remove the second tape without damaging the pages.

The memory will be there but I don't need to be reminded every time I flick through the pages.

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 :)
