Ryder Carroll just released his book The Bullet Journal Method in October 2018. Highly recommend giving it a skim; it's a highly opinionated template about where to start with Bullet Journaling (kind of like Ruby on Rails or React for Bullet Journaling).

That said, if you are just getting started, it's way too easy to fall in the trap of setting up the tool instead of actually being productive. You want to fail cheaply and quickly: I'd recommend starting with unstructured paper (loose-leaf paper or a memo pad or whatever is handy) and doing just rapid logging for two or three days to see if you find it helpful. (The list of bullets can be found at https://bulletjournal.com/pages/learn) If you find that helpful, then you can dig deeper with buying the book and/or buying a notebook.

Not written in 2018 but these are some of the books I’ve read this year

The Bullet Journal Method - Ryder Caroll - A how to and the philosophy behind bullet journalling. Am doing a 1 year test to see if the system works for me.

Spark Joy - Marie Kondo - Book about living minimally, got this suggestion because the previous book mentioned it and was curious.

The Hacked World Order - Adam Segal - got interested in cybersecurity thanks to my internship, so picked up a book to read about it and am planning to study and get certification/qualification to get into the field. Will be working in IT/Network Engineering for 2-3 years while learning cybersecurity during free time.

Jony Ive - just like biographies in general.
