The Bullet Journal Method

The Grand Tour Presents the A to Z of the Car

RYD E R CARROL L

A rallying cry for those seeking a life of simplicity, productivity and purpose from the creator of the Bullet Journal ® method. Like many of us, Ryder Carroll tried everything to get organised – countless apps, systems, planners, you name it. Nothing really worked. Then he invented his own simple system that required only pen and paper, which he found both effective and calming. He shared his method with a few friends, and before long he had a worldwide viral movement.

Have you ever wondered what the history is behind the Cadillac? Why on earth do some people think driving gloves are acceptable? And is it really unspeakable to own a Citroen Pluriel? Welcome, everyone, to the A to Z of the car.

The system combines elements of a wishlist, to-do list, and diary. It makes it easy to get thoughts out of your head (an unreliable witness) and onto paper, to see them clearly and decide what to do about them. It helps you identify what matters, and set goals accordingly. By breaking long-term goals into small actionable steps, users map out an approachable path towards continual improvement, allowing them to stay focused despite the crush of incoming demands. But this is much more than a time management book. It’s also a manifesto for what Ryder calls ‘intentional living’: making sure that your beliefs and actions align. Even if you already use a Bullet Journal®, this book gives you new exercises to become more calm and focused, new insights on how to prioritise well, and a new awareness of the power of analogue tools in a digital world.

In this fast-paced, quick fact guide you will find a rich selection of car- based facts which may be of some vague interest. Featuring an abundance of profiles on both classic and novelty vehicles, information on engine components as well as jargon on mechanical hardware, this book has everything you need to become a car expert in no time at all (watch out, Elon Musk). Impress all your sad colleagues with technical terms and new- found savvy knowledge of the road (don’t be an ambler gambler, pals). Be careful not to show off too much, though – we don’t want another Jeremy Clarkson on our hands. Along with these reasonably interesting facts, expect compulsory interjections from the notorious trio behind the Grand Tour series, or more accurately, three middle aged men who ought to know better.
