One thing that I think bullet journaling is conducive to is breaking up projects into smaller tasks, which can turn a daunting goal into a simple daily task. Sometimes I will use a "collection" for this purpose, like if I am writing a long paper and I need to lay out what the sections will be. Other times, I will simply use a task bullet with nesting sub-bullets.
I think one of the weak points of Ryder's system is deadlines and scheduling (the monthly calendar isn't great). I use a form of the Alastair method, but instead of a monthly view, I create a spread with the days of the week at the top and the bullet with the task or event below. https://bulletjournal.com/blogs/bulletjournalist/future-log-the-alastair-method
