“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
You Are More than Your Inbox.
You’re busy. More than busy. And lately, it seems like no matter how hard you’re working, the work is never done. Maybe it’s because you’ve got a big new job. Or the children require more than ever. Parents need support. You’re starting a company, or your company is asking more of you than ever. All the while, social media and the nightly news crowd out your inner voice with incessant notifications, demands, requests. If you’re neurodiverse, you then feel even worse about constantly letting everyone down, including yourself.
Your sleep is fitful, your exercise routine is anything but, and you’re wondering, “is this all there is?”
I have been where you are. The Bullet Journal® Method changed my life, and it can change yours. Created by Ryder Carroll in 2013, the Bullet Journal® Method (BuJo®) has helped millions design fulfilling lives amidst chaos. Now, for the first time, official Bullet Journal® coaches like me have been trained by Ryder himself to help you adopt and adapt this life-changing system to your one “wild and precious life.”
Bullet Journal requires only a notebook and pen. No artistic talent or perfect handwriting needed.
Just minutes a day and a few hours each month.
It's the only productivity method that adapts to your unique mind. Bullet Journaling helps you focus, keep promises, and design a system that sticks. Even if you're neurodiverse, Bujo can quiet an overwhelming life and not only help you get more things done, but also help you find satisfaction and meaning.
Life can be so much more than your to-do list. Start living intentionally with a Bullet Journal.

OVERWHELMED TO INTENTIONAL:
Melinda’s Bullet Journal Story
Without Bullet Journal, there would be no Fiddlehead Marketing.
Like many leaders, my ADHD once meant constant overwhelm. Despite success, I struggled to focus and use time wisely. Even chickens with their heads cut off had more focus!
Then in 2013, everything changed. I discovered early Bullet Journaling just as Ryder Carroll's system emerged, and it really did change my life.
Finally, I could distill chaos into clarity. Bullet Journaling let me identify what truly mattered and pursue it intentionally. I was able to sustain my focus, and built better relationships. My consultancy thrived.
When Ryder invited me to become an authorized Bullet Journal trainer, I was thrilled. Bullet Journaling has guided me through challenges and growth, even through serious and significant life events like Breast Cancer.
Now I want to share the gift of Bullet Journaling with you. It doesn't just boost productivity - it helps you build the life you want.
I'll show you how simple techniques can transform how you set goals, manage time, and gain focus. You don’t have to be perfect to make progress. Let's conquer overwhelm together.
With Bullet Journal coaching, you can stop reacting and start crafting your ideal life. Are you ready to live more intentionally?
“Bullet Journal gave me the edge I needed to succeed on my own terms as a woman with ADHD in Silicon Valley. It silenced my inner critic and gave me the focus, confidence, and resilience needed to climb the ranks, build my own company, and overcome many challenges.
- Melinda Byerley, CEO Fiddlehead Marketing
