Ryder Carroll - SE04 / EP02

In this episode I welcome Ryder Carroll, creator of the Bullet Journal to the show. We talk about the origin of Bullet Journaling, and how sharing his approach to help a friend opened his mind to the power of his methodology.

Listen as Ryder talks about being reflective about the things we want to do, and that sometimes this reflection might reveal we don’t need do some things at all.

Enjoy this crossover into analog productivity!
