## Yearly Ritual and Review - This is a public event where the community engages with bullet journaling, usually occurring mid-year and at the end of the year, to plan lives and check in, with this event focusing on the annual review for 2025 [(00:00:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=42s). - The end of the year has approached suddenly, and it's customary to start thinking about the yearly ritual, which is not touched on all year long [(00:01:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=88s). - A video from 2023 on the [[YouTube]] channel explains the yearly ritual, where Ryder goes through the steps and demonstrates it, serving as a great follow-along for learning about the ritual [(00:02:06)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=126s). - The event aims to answer questions about the yearly ritual to give confidence and information to head into it [(00:02:20)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=140s). ## The Purpose of the Annual Ritual - The annual ritual is an opportunity to look back before looking forward, focusing on learning from the past year and using that insight to create a plan for the new year [(00:02:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=162s). - The ritual involves reflecting on what was learned about life and oneself, what was wanted and not wanted from the past year, and using that information to create a plan for the new year [(00:03:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=216s). - The plan can be as intensive or simple as desired, with the goal of taking some time to think about the past year and write down thoughts about what happened [(00:04:43)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=283s). - The yearly ritual is a process that can take as much time as needed, with a minimum of an hour, but it's recommended to give yourself the last two weeks of the year to make it more enjoyable and less pressured [(00:04:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=292s). - The ritual involves looking back at the past year, revealing things that may have been forgotten, and using those insights to chart a course for the future [(00:04:55)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=295s). - It's not about laying out a plan from January to December, but rather about charting a direction and setting experiments, or goals, to help navigate [(00:07:03)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=423s). - The goal-setting process is seen as experimentation, where goals serve as lighthouses to help navigate and give direction, rather than a specific destination [(00:07:20)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=440s). - The process involves reflecting on what was learned in the past year and using that knowledge to decide what to see more or less of in life, and how to accomplish it [(00:07:37)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=457s). - Looking back at the past year provides contextual awareness, which can give a sense of direction and help set experiments, or goals, for the future [(00:08:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=489s). - The 20/20 hindsight gained from looking back can be used to set experiments, or goals, that are informed by past experiences and lessons learned [(00:08:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=505s). ## Goal Setting as Experimentation - Examples of experiments, or goals, include learning a new language, starting a new job, or getting a house, all based on what was learned in the past year [(00:08:37)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=517s). - Adding a question mark at the end of goals can help make them more flexible and less rigid, allowing for adjustments as needed [(00:08:49)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=529s). - It's essential to be realistic about the time it takes to achieve goals, such as finding a house or learning a language, to avoid creating unrealistic expectations [(00:09:05)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=545s). - The "Lighthouse Goals" concept is a helpful approach to goal-setting, and a blog post about it is available for further reading [(00:09:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=573s). ## Reviewing Past Journals and Simplifying the Process - Reviewing the past year's journals can be helpful, but it's not necessary to review every single page; instead, focus on the key takeaways from weekly and monthly reflections, as well as chapter rituals [(00:09:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=592s). - For those new to Bullet Journaling, the process can be overwhelming, but it's essential to start small and build on previous insights, using the daily, weekly, and monthly reflections to inform the yearly ritual [(00:10:58)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=658s). - To make the yearly ritual process smaller and more manageable, consider breaking it down into smaller, bite-sized tasks, such as using a two-page spread with four cells to reflect on what worked, what didn't, what you want more of, and what you want less of [(00:11:57)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=717s). - This simplified approach can help make the yearly ritual more accessible and less overwhelming, allowing you to focus on the most important aspects of your goals and reflections [(00:12:16)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=736s). - To start annual planning, begin with a simple spread that includes a sentence or two about what worked and what didn't work in the past year, and repeat this process two or three times in each cell, which can take around 10-15 minutes [(00:12:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=770s). - Breaking down the planning process into smaller tasks, such as working on one cell a day, can make it more manageable, and it's okay to jump in even if you're new to bullet journaling or haven't done it in a while [(00:13:17)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=797s). ## Reflecting on the Past Year and Identifying Patterns - Reviewing past logs, photo albums, bank statements, and calendars can help identify patterns and meaningful events in your life, even if you don't have a bullet journal [(00:13:47)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=827s). - Reflecting on your life as a whole at the end of the year can provide valuable insights, and setting aside time for annual planning is essential, even if it's just a short period each day [(00:14:17)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=857s). - The amount of time spent on annual planning can vary, but taking two weeks or more can have a significant impact, and reviewing past yearly reviews can still be relevant months later [(00:14:41)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=881s). - Creating space for annual planning is crucial, and getting clear on what is meaningful to you is more essential than other tasks, as it allows you to take personal accountability and make informed decisions [(00:15:29)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=929s). - Any time spent on annual planning is better than none, and it's an act of self-care and personal accountability, allowing you to depend on yourself rather than others for clarity [(00:16:01)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=961s). - Documenting your life, including photos, budget apps, and screenshots, can provide clues and insights, and even if you're new to bullet journaling, you can start by analyzing these records and putting them into your notebook [(00:16:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=975s). ## Remembering and Reflecting on Experiences - When planning for the future, it's essential to think about what you want your future self to remember from the current year, including both positive and negative experiences [(00:16:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1004s). - Reflecting on past experiences can help identify patterns and lessons learned, which can be beneficial for personal growth and problem-solving [(00:17:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1033s). - Some people have better memories than others, but writing down important information, such as quotes and insights, can help with recall and provide a valuable reference point [(00:17:20)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1040s). - Reviewing past journals can help identify areas where you tend to focus on negative experiences and remind you to acknowledge and let go of unnecessary worries [(00:17:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1072s). - A problem-solving mindset can sometimes lead to overthinking and worrying about things that may not happen, and it's essential to learn to hold worries lightly and focus on the present [(00:18:05)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1085s). - A double spread in a bullet journal can be a helpful tool for reflecting on past experiences and identifying key lessons and takeaways, even for those with a large amount of information to review [(00:18:57)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1137s). - This reflection process can help identify patterns and provide context, allowing you to see individual points as part of a larger picture and gain new insights [(00:19:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1165s). ## Context Shifting and Identifying Important Insights - Twain's quote, "I've had countless troubles, most of which never happened," highlights the importance of not getting caught up in worries about things that may not happen [(00:18:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1113s). - Context shifting, or zooming in and out of your life, can provide different resolutions and help you see things from a new perspective, making it easier to identify what's truly important [(00:20:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1208s). - It's essential to consider the balance between positive and negative experiences when reflecting on the past and to make a conscious effort to capture and remember the positive moments [(00:20:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1235s). - To distill insights from the year and not lose track of them, it's helpful to use constraints, such as an initial spread with questions like "what worked," "what didn't," "what do I want more of," and "what do I want less of" to slow down and become selective about the information [(00:21:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1290s). - Artificial constraints, like the bullet journal timeline, can also help distill information by forcing the mind to focus on the most important details, such as one sentence per day [(00:21:56)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1316s). - Reviewing timelines and identifying the most important events or insights from the past 30 days can also help distill what matters most [(00:22:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1329s). - Asking oneself what they want to make sure their future self doesn't forget can also help identify the most important insights [(00:22:29)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1349s). - Comparing where you are now to where you were in the past can help identify the biggest changes in behavior or thinking that moved you towards your goals [(00:23:10)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1390s). - Identifying the three biggest things that moved you towards or away from your life goals can help distill what's most important [(00:23:47)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1427s). ## Distilling Insights and Using Constraints - On a technical note, selecting one or two insights from daily logs during weekly reviews, and then choosing three insights to capture during monthly reviews, can help identify the most important insights to hold onto [(00:24:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1448s). - Writing down the most important insights on the last page of the notebook can help see what moves with you until the end of the year [(00:24:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1471s). - Reviewing digital notes and trackers should be done during the weekly, monthly, or yearly ritual, where one can use the data to inform their written reflection and distill what they've learned from their behavior [(00:25:05)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1505s). - The written reflection is a crucial part of the ritual, where one can use data from various sources, including calendars, bullet journals, and trackers, to reflect on what they've learned [(00:25:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1535s). - The direction of the notes determines whether they should be reviewed digitally or in a notebook, and it's essential to bring all the information together to reflect on what's been learned [(00:26:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1595s). - If one takes a lot of notes digitally, it's a good idea to skim through them during the weekly ritual and write down key insights or takeaways to incorporate into their reflections [(00:27:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1635s). - The unifying feature of the ritual is the place where one writes about their reflections, which is where they can expand, unpack, and ground themselves [(00:27:47)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1667s). - The ritual is not just about planning but also about thinking about why one is doing what they're doing, and it's essential to take the time to slow down and unpack their thoughts and reflections [(00:28:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1687s). ## Editing, Revising, and Temporal Milestones - When it comes to editing and revising the annual plan, it's essential to know when to stop, and for some, it might be when they start a new notebook at the beginning of the year, marking the start of a new chapter [(00:28:43)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1723s). - Annual planning involves setting temporal milestones to delineate between different periods and reflect on the past year, acknowledging that it's okay to move on and start anew, even if the previous year's goals weren't perfectly achieved [(00:29:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1753s). - The planning process is not about setting specific project goals or laying out a rigid plan, but rather about setting intentions and revisiting them throughout the year to adjust and learn [(00:29:41)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1781s). - Many plans change over time, and it's normal for goals to shift as new information becomes available or circumstances change [(00:30:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1831s). ## Resolutions vs. Intentions - The difference between a resolution, goal, intention, and plan is not always clear, but one way to define them is that a resolution is a commitment to an outcome, while an intention is a commitment to a process [(00:31:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1888s). - Setting intentions rather than resolutions can be more helpful, as it allows for continuous learning and adaptation, and acknowledges that the future is uncertain [(00:32:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1945s). - Intentions can be defined as a commitment to being a certain way or having certain qualities, such as kindness, patience, or health, and can be used to guide plans and goals [(00:32:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1950s). - Plans and goals can be used to support intentions, and should be flexible and open to change as circumstances evolve [(00:33:10)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=1990s). - The definition of an outcome is not a commitment to an outcome, but rather a guide to help learn what it means to achieve a specific goal, such as being healthier, with a goal to lose 10 lbs over the next 3 months [(00:33:21)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2001s). - Intentions are about who you want to be, and can have multiple intentions, such as being a parent, teacher, or sibling, and are based on what's most alive for you from the previous year [(00:33:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2031s). - Goals are set to move intentions forward and learn how to be a certain way, and this framework is more fun, forgiving, and productive than trying to control the future [(00:34:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2048s). ## Planning with Uncertainty - Planning with uncertainty involves responding, reflecting, and iterating, as nothing is known, and trying to outsmart the future or remove uncertainty is not possible [(00:34:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2084s). - Planning is not about outsmarting the future, but rather taking your best guess, being curious, and being flexible and open to changes, and being able to stop and reflect each week or month to handle pivots and adjustments [(00:35:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2135s). - Creating time for reflection and planning is essential, even when it feels like there's no time, as it helps to stop reacting to life and start responding to it, and allows for more control and flexibility [(00:36:24)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2184s). ## Weekly and Monthly Rituals - The weekly and monthly rituals are important for creating time and space for reflection and planning, and the weekly ritual is a new addition that's not in the book [(00:37:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2235s). - The Bullet Journal method involves weekly and monthly rituals that help make the practice powerful, and these rituals are developed and refined over time [(00:37:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2248s). - A free trial is available to experience these rituals and see what they're like, and the newest rendition of these rituals can be found in the Bujo social platform [(00:37:40)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2260s). - The monthly ritual is discussed in a video, and the weekly rituals are practiced in Bujo, where people can join and participate [(00:38:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2289s). ## Community and Support - The membership was created to hold everyone accountable, including the leader, and to provide a community to practice with and support one another [(00:38:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2305s). - Bullet journaling is considered a practice that involves regularly looking at one's life, thoughts, and feelings, which can initially be overwhelming but becomes more comfortable with consistency [(00:38:40)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2320s). - Having a community to practice with helps with consistency, and finding others with similar problems and challenges can be supportive [(00:39:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2349s). - The community is diverse, with members from all over the world, and they share insights and learn from each other [(00:39:40)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2380s). ## The Evolution of Bullet Journaling - Many people experience plans changing frequently, but having rituals allows for course correction and adjustment as needed [(00:40:02)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2402s). - The leader practices bullet journaling alongside the community and refines the practice over time through updates and discussions [(00:40:32)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2432s). - Even the leader's fiance has started bullet journaling, which has been a game-changer, and it's something that is practiced on a day-to-day basis [(00:41:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2460s). - Rituals play a crucial role in maintaining intentionality, serving as internal housekeeping to track thoughts, feelings, and actions, and providing a moment to reflect on life and intentions [(00:41:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2496s). - These rituals help break down planning into manageable chunks, making it easier to focus on the week, month, and quarter, rather than feeling overwhelmed by the need to plan everything from scratch [(00:41:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2510s). - Having a ritual or a "forcing function" is essential to take a step back, assess intentions, and make adjustments as needed, even for individuals who consider themselves intentional [(00:42:41)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2561s). - Taking time for rituals and reflection is necessary to stay intentional, and not doing so can lead to unintentional behavior and feelings [(00:43:02)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2582s). ## One Notebook vs. Two Notebooks - When starting a bullet journal system, it's recommended to begin with one notebook to avoid the complexity of deciding where to put different types of information [(00:44:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2640s). - Using one notebook solves the problem of not knowing where to find specific information, which can be particularly problematic for work or mission-critical tasks [(00:44:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2653s). - There are some exceptions where having two notebooks might be recommended, such as in certain professions where personal and work-related information need to be kept separate for legal reasons [(00:44:48)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2688s). - Everyone needs to figure out their own approach to keeping their journal private, but one simple solution is to use a code for the people mentioned in the journal, such as using initials instead of names, to make the content obscure to others [(00:45:12)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2712s). - Keeping everything in one place can help increase privacy and make it easier to visually delineate between work and personal content [(00:45:16)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2716s). - Having all information in one place can also help identify connections and patterns between different experiences and events [(00:46:18)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2778s). - Using rituals, such as morning and evening rituals, can be more effective when all data is visible at the same time, creating insights that benefit from bullet journaling [(00:46:48)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2808s). ## Bujo 3.0 and New Developments - Bujo 3.0 is an updated approach to bullet journaling that is still evolving, and more information can be found on the membership site or through updates to the bullet journal course [(00:47:27)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2847s). - Bujo 3.0 introduces new concepts, such as renaming bullets to have the acronym name "NAME" (notes, actions, moods, and events), which comes from mindfulness and therapy training, to help track thoughts, feelings, and emotions [(00:48:32)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2912s). - The "mood bullet" in Bujo 3.0 is a new feature that helps track emotional states, which is a significant shift in the approach to bullet journaling [(00:49:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2940s). - The Bullet Journal method is evolving, with new developments referred to as "Bullet Journal 3.0," which aims to provide a more comprehensive and integrated system for users [(00:49:06)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2946s). - One of the key areas being addressed is the process of reflection, with a new system being developed to help users strategically reflect on their experiences and thoughts [(00:49:21)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2961s). - For those new to the Bullet Journal method, there are various resources available, including the [[YouTube]] channel, the book, the course, and the community [(00:49:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=2991s). - A sale for the course is planned for mid-December, and interested individuals can sign up for the newsletter to stay updated and gain insights into the methodology [(00:50:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=3028s). - The newsletter features the weekly log from the creator, which includes thoughts, observations, and strategic updates, and is available for free [(00:50:45)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=3045s). - Rituals are an intentional part of the Bullet Journal practice, aiming to imbue behaviors with a deeper meaning and purpose, and resources for implementing rituals can be found on the website [(00:51:11)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=3071s). - There is no fixed timeline for the release of Bullet Journal 3.0, but updates and new materials will be rolled out throughout the next year [(00:52:11)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=3131s). - The Writing for Being program has had a significant impact on the development of Bullet Journal 3.0, and a new iteration of the program is planned for Q1 next year [(00:52:56)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=3176s). - Parts of the new system are already included in the course, and users can expect further updates and releases in the coming year [(00:53:27)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=3207s). - The Bullet Journal system is being refined and updated, with new versions and tools being released over time, and the current version will eventually be concluded as 3.0, with 4.0 to follow in 2025 [(00:53:34)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=3214s). ## Resources for Bullet Journaling - The Bullet Journal book is widely available and provides a cohesive introduction to the system, while the course offers more in-depth information and guidance [(00:55:17)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=3317s). - The creator of the Bullet Journal system has [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder | ADHD]] and has written an article on the blog about their experiences with ADHD and how it relates to the Bullet Journal method [(00:56:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzHNNpJJ1I&t=3411s). -
