Bullet Journal versus Time Blocking

In this episode Helen and I talk about Bullet Journaling and Time Blocking.I'm not a fan of Bullet Journaling, but Helen is. I explain why I'm not a fan, and Helen explains why it works so well for her. We chat about Calendar / Time Blocking, my chosen productivity management, and why that works for me. Note: There is a tiny bit of bad language in this episode. We cover:* Why Rob couldn't get Bullet Journaling to work* How Helen uses Bullet Journaling* Why all productivity systems are simply Containers with Rules* Why Rob uses Time / Calendar Blocking and how it works - mostly because it forces prioritisation* And why all approaches actually solve the same problem* We talk about pondering, reflecting and how Bullet Journaling helps with this* Why Rob separates out "productivity" and "reflection" into two separate systems* Zoom fatigue - and saying no by filling in your calendar with your work* How Rob journals - and what steers that journaling* SAD lamps and journaling* How to measure productivity using behaviours - rather than just tasks doneWe mention:* Zen Art Supplies - Our new favourite place for stationery - https://www.zenartsupplies.co/* Todoist - https://todoist.com/* Leuchtturm notebooks and how Helen found the pages to bleed - https://www.leuchtturm1917.us/notebooks/* Paipur notebooks- and how Helen LOVES these, but alas, they don't seem to be trading anymore - https://www.paipur.com/welcome* Google CalendarFollow us on our LinkedIn page : https://www.linkedin.com/company/stationeryfreaksJoin us on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/stationeryfreaksuk/Enjoy.Rob & Helen
