Now that we’ve cleared up what bullet journaling means, here are some easy tips to take the leap into getting your life in order in a fun and creative way!
-
The most important thing to remember when you start bullet journaling is that it shouldn’t feel like a chore. It will take effort, but you should be enjoying doing it! It won’t help you if you dread opening up your journal.
-
While crazy spreads and detailed layouts are fun to look at, don’t feel like you have to go nuts right away. All you need is a journal and pens. You don’t even have to be colorful at first if you don’t want to! You just need your creativity.
-
Know what you want to work on! If you want to start tracking your mental health, make a space to log your thoughts. If you want to focus on schoolwork, make a space for tracking your assignments. Don’t clutter your journal up with things you won’t care about.
-
Have fun with it! Don’t worry what other people will think if they see your journal; it’s not for them, it’s for you. Allow your journal to be a space where you can be your authentic, creative self.
Finally, here are some products I recommend! You can use whatever you want, these are just products I’ve used and loved.
