Equal parts day planner, diary, and written meditation, bullet journaling turns the chaos of coordinating your life into a streamlined system that helps you be more productive and reach your personal and professional goals. With sections to log your daily to-do’s, monthly calendar, notes, long-term wants and more, your BuJo is customized to your life. (Entries are tagged with bullet points, dashes, and other graphics so you can see their categories at a glance.)
You don’t have to splurge on an arsenal of supplies. To get started with a bullet journal, you really need only two things: a dot grid notebook and a no-bleed pen. Look for a journal with a lay-flat spine, high-quality paper, a dot grid that’s light and easy on the eyes, and numbered pages. When it comes to pens, dual-tips—pens with a bullet tip on one end, a brush on the other—are most versatile. But if you want to use your bullet journal as an opportunity to be creative, go for it. Stock up on colored gel pens, watercolors, stickers—the sky’s the limit, really.
