Bullet Journal Method
This skill guides you through Ryder Carroll's Bullet Journal methodology—a system designed for intentional living, not just productivity. It walks you through setup, rapid logging, the monthly Migration ritual that forces the key question: 'What would happen if I didn't do this?' The result is a clear head and a practice that reveals what actually deserves your finite attention.
