A designer thing. For writing, I used countless apps. One for meeting notes, another for task management, another for tracking personal habits <i>(how many days can I go without Coke?).<\/i> This year, however, I abandoned them all and turned to paper.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>At 38, I discovered what several teenagers already know, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bulletjournal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#bulletjournal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the opposite of innovative, disruptive, or mind-blowing to organize life with pen and paper, but this method \u2013 formalized by Ryder Carrol, who has learning and concentration difficulties, and is a designer who likes notebooks \u2013 made an impact on my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-4-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-4.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We know, scientifically, that handwriting demands a lot more from our brain than when we press buttons on keyboards, real or virtual, so we retain that information for much longer. Handwriting is a slower process, and this, which seems like a drawback, is its big advantage: it forces us to think more about what we want to write down, how and why. Staying away from screens and having this space to think is, in itself, extremely productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage a notebook has over any app, is that it is as flexible as it needs to be, to you. Each of us has a way, and all apps are designed for a generic mass of users. Your notebook is yours. In mine, in one place, I have all the information about all the projects that are going on, all the tasks I have done, what I still have to do and until when; books I\u2019ve read, I\u2019m reading <i>(and summarizing right there),<\/i> and the ones I still want to read; friends I want to see more often <i>(and when I saw them)<\/i> and habits I want to track <i>(today it\u2019s 94 days without Coke).<\/i> Track and evaluate the past, organize the present, and create the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-1.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-2.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/fabiohaagtype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BUJO-3.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The end of the year is coming, and if you are looking to start 2020 as a blank page, why not take it literally?
