@neatchee has explained the issue. Every community has certain rules, and if you break them they will remove your post (or ban you), and if you re-post that again, that just makes you look like a troll / troublemaker. And “everyone is doing it” doesn’t make a good defense.

Now, if your main concern is how to get sound effects for your video, you can just link to the video and ask simple questions, like:

• Where can I get these sound effects from?
• Are they available from any stock sounds site?
• What is the name of these sound effects, so that I can search them/buy them.
• Are these sound effects available for free?
• Is there any place to get free-to-use stock sounds?

Main reason (or at least one of them) is the technology stack, choosing Java instead of Rust, to move fast with development, and (hopefully) to be more accessible for others to contribute.

Yeah… I wasn’t expecting it to cost so much. It’s near the price of the hosting of all the services combined.

Loooong weekend!

Ahan, that’s good.

I have a couple of things that have been on pause and I have been meaning to get back to them. Maybe this can be one way to make myself accountable.

What is everyone holding themselves accountable for?

Yeah, completely agreed.

Yeah, for instance, when I start a new day, I do the following:

• Look at the monthly page, for any event (usually any anniversary or due date),
• Look at the master tasks list. It’s the list where I move the tasks that I have to do “some-day” but not any specific day, I don’t directly add items to it, they are migrated from daily log. If there’s anything I want to (or can) do today, copy that.
• Look at previous day, and copy or migrate any left-over items.

On normal day, this hardly takes 30 seconds (other than writing down what’s moving to today). With this workflow, it’s easy to mark anything on monthly calendar. As I am looking at it daily anyway. That being said, I am not actually using any habit tracker right now. I have become a perfect being and don’t need to create any more habits. 😃

Yeah, there was a video by someone, who has apparently made some documentaries, that gave bullet journal a try for 30 days. He over-complicated it by not following the basics but going for stylish spreads he watched on YouTube, and this exhausted him, instead of making things easier. For instance, it took him 4 hours to set up first month, and then 2 hours to set up seconds one. He eventually realised this is too much, and gave up.

And yeah, I love how simple it is. It doesn’t matter if you miss a day, a week, or a month, just turn to next empty page, and start writing.

Heh, this is exactly how it is.

I agree with Ricardo, on both points, but if it works for you, it doesn’t matter what you call it.

As for digital vs analogue, it doesn’t matter too much. I think bullet journal works better with pen and paper, but I know people who use digital ones, and it works for them, so more power to them.

You can check the official How to Bullet Journal video (also linked in side-bar), to get the idea of basics of Bullet Journal. You don’t have to do everything. Personally, I consider daily log to be the central pillar of bullet journal, around which the whole system is built, but others may have a different opinion about this.

The issue is somewhat resolved. But older posts / comments aren’t syncing. If you edit your comment and save, it would show up.

Or you can just post again.

Yes, you can say that. Though there are different types of habit trackers, some are incorporated in monthly spread. The article mentions just adding first letter of your habbit on the day you do it. So, that’s one way to do it. Or you could make a separate “collection” page.

Heh, that is most probably true. On reddit, I too was subscribed to both bullet journal and fountain pens subs. Though, haven’t joined it here (yet), it is not a healthy community for your wallet. 😀

I have more inks that I’ll probably use in next decade, don’t have enough pens though… also missing a few colours in ink…

Welcome to the community. Feel free to ask any questions, or share any spreads that you find useful!

Well, no system, no matter how nice, is perfect. And everyone is different with different needs. Not looking for more, just something that matches my needs more closely.

I originally started with just using dailies. No index, no future log, no monthly page. I slowly added them over the time. But the way my life and work is, I don’t really have any need for future log, I pretty much only add birthdays, anniversaries and bill due dates on my monthly page. So I stopped using future log.

I came across Calendex a while back, it’s like a monthly page, but covers the whole year (or half year, if smaller notebook). So it can help me remove my monthly pages and just make one page for multiple months. Since my usage is much less than official Calendex needs, I am going to modify it a bit for me. I haven’t used it before because the notebook I am using has pre-made monthly pages, and I wanted to keep using those. Now that the notebook is almost finished, switching to an empty / blank one. So, thinking about giving Calendax a try.

Now, if Calendex is so nice, why shouldn’t everyone use it? Well, like everything, it has it’s drawbacks. It adds complications, and if you aren’t used to journaling, can start to feel like a chore. So, better to get used to using your journal regularly, and then modify it if it doesn’t meet your needs completely.

That would be great! Thanks!

Well, there is nothing wrong with checking it out. But if you ask me, I think, you should stick with the basics / original system. Like anything new, its easy to get bogged down by all the options and spend more time optimizing the system then the amount of time saved by using it. So, start with the actual system, and if after a while you want to explore more options, you would know what works or doesn’t work for you.

Yeah, me too. Though I was mostly a lurker on reddit, and while lurking on lemmy for a while and not finding one, I decided to create one. A place to start gathering the people. Hopefully, we will seeing people contributing soon too. 👍

(That was me, going on a roundabout way, to encourage you to join and start posting 😀)

I have been using it for a few years. My journal has evolved many times, somethings I tried worked great, something didn’t. For instance, I haven’t been using future log for quite a while, but have been thinking about using Calendex, with some changes, now.

As I mentioned, the system is very extensible, you can modify it as per your needs, and there are many resources out there, with people sharing there own spreads. So, basically just start with the basics, and if you feel need for more (or less, or something different), just change or add those things.
