Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Ryder Carroll, author of The Bullet Journal Method:Track The Past, Order The Present, Design The Future, published in October by Portfolio.

Ryder is a digital product designer and author, who focuses on helping others in learning what the bullet journal (what we will be talking about today) is truly about.

If you have lived in a cave for the past couple of years, let me tell you what bullet journaling is about. It is about making you more productive, it is about ordering your life, achieving your goals, and it has created an analogue system for the digital age. It also involves something called Washi tape, which we will discuss. In short, instead of spending a good part of your day looking at a screen of varying size, you are able with pen and paper, or colored pencils and journals, or pastels, tape and beautiful artwork, to design and order your life, past present and future.
