Bullet Journal
What is it?
Bullet Journal is a method of personal organization just like an agenda but more YOU.
With this type of journal you can organize your schedule, make to-do lists, reminders, brainstorming and other types of lists and pages in just a single notebook.
The name "Bullet Journal" comes from the use of dot journal (or bullet point journals), wich are gridded using dots rather than lines.
How to Start
First thing you need to start Bullet Journaling is a notebook and a pen, NOTHING MORE! The rest is just an extra if you want and need it! After having those requirements you are going to open the first page and you are going to feel clueless, everyone has been there, so here are a few suggestions for your first pages:
1. Index
The index is the organizing glue that holds the entire bullet journal together. You can number all your pages and label them on the Index so it's easier for you to find a specific list or whatever later.2. Monthly Calendar with Goals
Perfect view for setting your goals and important dates. It's your mom birthday but you don't remeber wich day, then just track it on this list so you can check it up later again, the same thing happens to deadlines and important dates.3. Weakly/Daily Pages
This kind of pages are very much like a normal agenda, but the difference is you can fully customize it the way you want, your imagination is limitless . You can decorate it with stickers, or washi tapes... you can always check out my pinterest album for more inspiration.4. Lists and Collections
Lists are always helpful to keep track of whatever you want. For example you can track your online shopping, savings, tv shows and many more things!Suggestions
If you are starting Bullet Journaling for the first time my advice for you is to buy a cheap notebook first and try it out,
only after a few months with it you should try to explore other kind of notebooks and brands.
Here are a few of my favourite stationery for Bullet Journaling:
Sakura Pigma Micron Pens
For caligraphy or even just writing these are the best, they don't trespass the paper and are very confortable. They also have a lot of pen sizes.You can buy it on Amazon or a local stationery store for sure.
Zebra Mildliner Markers
These markers are the best around, there are 25 different colors and they don't blur your page. Definitely a good buy!The best place to buy them definitily is Amazon.
Washi Tapes
There is a variety of washi tapes (decorative tapes) so it's up to you to decide how to decorate your bujo (bullet journal) and what kind of washis you like! Personally, I recommend to buy them on AliExpress or eBay.
Happy Notes from Happy Planner
And my last suggestion is a gridded notebook called Happy Notes from the brand Me & My Big Ideas. This kind of notebooks you can organize and use them the way you want literally, you can tear the pages up and put them back again anywhere you want. And this brand has a tooooooon of accessories. You should check it up!
