Bullet Journaling: An Analog Organizational System for Digital Nomads

As a digital nomad and software developer, I’ve chosen an analog system to organize myself—and in this talk, I’ll show you why. Bullet journaling is a method that helps you track the past, organize the present, and plan for the future. And the best part? You only need pen and paper.

With bullet journaling, you create time and space for yourself in a distraction-free, digital-free environment to log your daily ideas, register tasks, and track habits. I’ve tried countless digital tools, but none truly worked for me—they often felt like they were running my life, not the other way around.

There’s something magical about marking a task as done, starting your day with intention, and ending it with reflection. Designing pages, logging memories, and building a system that evolves with you—those are things no digital tool has ever come close to replicating.

Let’s bring more intentionality into our day-to-day with journaling.
