Have any of you tried "bujo" journal -- a style of journalling that is said to improve time management and daily habits? If so, do you think this planning technique is helpful or more like a marketing gimmick pushed by self help guru's?
This year, I just started a bullet journal for but I've collected free print outs since early 2018 as a way to "practice" a style before I went and ruined one of my expensive moleskine planners.
For me, planning out the month a little in advance has helped me. I prefer to do that rather than create a daily spread. I only really have to focus on that one page of the month and maybe a little mini calendar featuring the upcoming month.
Keeping track of my schedules is definitely not one of my strengths and neither is time management. It's not helpful when I use apps because I won't check them regularly. I'll be candid and say that part of that struggle might be due to my Autism, lack of discipline and poor executive function. Bullet journalling (and Am*zon echo) improved those struggle areas in a relatively short amount of time. In any case, I thought I'd share about that here on the forum.

From the articles I've read, even the official web site, you have to set aside a few pages in the beginning of the notebook for an "index", then pages set aside for every week for a year, then pages set aside for every month of a year. I think one I saw said to set aside pages for every day for a year. You'd need a huge 500+ page notebook or a 3 inch binder to contain all those pages. Then you have to constantly update the index page and the related pages every time you make a change to an item like moving an item to another day to complete so you can keep track. 
There are bullet journals with really creative doodling and decoration.
