I am starting to work 2 days per week and I have been stressing out about how everything is going to fit in. I'm sure I'm going to have to change things but this helped me realise (again) that life doesn't have to follow my plans for things to be good. And that planning to begin with helps me to accomplis more even when those plans don't work out.\n\nThis was a fantastic webinar. Shellee demonstrated great passion and inspiration as she explained the bullet journal and examples of how she uses it. THANKS!\n\nVery good\n\nVery good speaker. \n\nVery Good!

Full of information for all aspects of life as well as genealogy.\n\nVery interesting concept\n\nVery interesting topic and useful suggestions.

   I appreciate the basic intro to Bullet Journaling. However, as a long time BuJo user, was hoping to see some examples of Ms. Morehead's Ancestor Profile layouts, Source Checklists. This was a great webinar, constantly reminding/reassuring the attendees to do what works for them! Loved it!\n\nI appreciated Shellee's generosity in sharing her personal journals in all their exuberant and imperfect glory! \n\nI came in late so I will be sure to go back and watch it again. Shellee is a great speaker and makes me want try journaling.\n\nI can see a connection here between my long-standing habit of keeping To Do lists in notebooks, keeping my daily and bill-paying calendars, my business pocket planners from my working years, etc. \n\nI love Bullet Journaling and really appreciated the review that Shellee offered. I have some new ideas about using my journal for genealogy and feel like my 2020 research trip to SLC will be much more productive as a result of the ideas bubbling up. Thank you!\n\nI needed a push to get organized! Thanks!\n\nI realized I have been doing this for years! \n\nI really liked the presentation and will use of Shellee Morehead’s suggestions in my bullet journaling, she has encouraged to increase my topics.\n\nI think this webinar will help me organize myself much better!\n\nI wasn't able to view the entire webinar but enjoyed what I saw. I look forward to watching the webinar in its entirety. \n\nI went to a Happy Planner system. I combine traditional planner structure with bullet journal ideas. I can categorize, migrate, add, delete, adjust, etc whatever i want. I have a full size for my daily life (lists, important info, etc), a mini for my purse (scheduling), a separate one for my Bible time. I have used a separate one for health and will go back to that. I have really been unsure how to do a genealogy one, and so today helped me formulate ideas for that!\n\nI would have liked to have heard more about how to coordinate one's (in my case, current personal bullet journal) with one for genealogy. I appreciate knowing one can do it however one wants, but best practices are always helpful and that's what I was really looking for. Even so, I liked her personal examples and hope to be able to apply some of them to my own bullet journal. \n\nI'm inspired!\n\nInspiring and thought provoking!\n\nInspiring! \n\ninteresting\n\nInteresting concept and presented quite well. Not sure I can make it work for me tho.\n\nInteresting ideas .... will give some a try! Thanks! \n\nInteresting topic, although the system I have is probably not conducive to adopting the content discussed.\n\nInteresting topic. I just spent several hours yesterday looking into various methods and styles of bullet journaling and trying to see what I thought would be useful for me. I do make lists constantly, though I am then prone to losing them, which means I make them repetitively. Not very efficient. I'm not thrilled with facing a blank page constantly, but I've been using a planner for a few years and am hopeful that with a bullet journal, I'll be more successful.\n\ninteresting ways she uses journaling\n\nIt was wonderful to get to know Shellee Morehead and I appreciate the examples she displayed.\n\nI've attempted BuJo before but appreciated the flexibility of her take. Delightful presenter.\n\nI've been telling everyone that I am going back to paper and pen. This old system never goes 'down', don't need an internet connection. \n\nLots of good idea about journaling.

   A big help! Thank you!\n\nA great reminder of the planning process required for genealogy. She offered several good phrases - "a goal without a plan is just a wish" and "write it down to get it done". And at the end regarding finding manuscripts, she threw in "track the women" - excellent advice! \n\nAlready somewhat familiar with Bullet Journaling, but wanted to see different ways to incorporate with genealogy research. Did exactly that!\n\nalthough it's good information, I am doing much of this already.\n\nAmazing webinar. You have given me many items to add to my list! Thank you\n\nBrilliant webinar with lots of great ideas for writing Bullet Journals.\n\nenjoyed and will be listening to Shellee's other webinars\n\nExcellent as always \n\nExcellent ideas. I would also suggest to use coloured highlighters to organize ancestors. Colour coding is a good visual way to see ideas and plans.\n\nExcellent information. I especially liked the idea of using the two notebooks, one for scheduling and one for genealogy. This solves a problem I was having using just the one notebook. Also the many collections and projects she uses bullet journals for has given me a wealth of ideas to pursue\n\nExcellent speaker, lots of good info!\n\nExcellent webinar,,,,have realised that I have been doing a version of bullet journalling for decades but didn't realise it was a real thing :)\n\nExcellent! I feel as if she knew all of my questions and my frustrations when I try to plan and be organized. Found this motivating with several ways to use bullet journaling in many ways that may help in having more time to do genealogy first.\n\nExcellent-I've used a very abbreviated version of this for years and now I'll incorporate all the new things I've learned today. Thanks!!\n\nExtremely informative\n\nGlad for the topic to be brought into genealogy.\n\nGood ideas\n\nGood information about an alternative to the way that I do things. I'm going to be exploring this "low tech" way of journaling and being more productive.\n\ngood presentation. \n\nGood to hear about this, but not for me\n\nGreat\n\nGreat examples. Friendly, approachable presenter. Happy I finally know what bullet journals are and that I've already been doing some of that. Now I'm inspired to develop the system further.\n\nGreat for beginners, this old dog even learned a new trick.\n\nGreat ideas for keeping up with life as a genealogist!\n\nGreat ideas! Going to try begin slowly bullet journaling for my visits to family cemeteries, in Bristol Rhode Island... were many relatives are buried. Thanks\n\ngreat ideas! Thanks!\n\nGreat information \n\nGreat inspiration for getting organized and staying on track. Thank you for another great webinar!\n\nGreat speaker.\n\nGreat tool that has multiple uses. Shellee did a very good job of applying the use genealogy research and reminded my why I love bullet journaling!\n\nGreat webinar and speaker! Need help in keeping track of my life and research. \n\nGreat webinar to help with organization and goal planning. I love that it was using written logs.\n\nI am already a list maker so this showed me a valuable way to extend my lists into something much more useful! Thank you.
