Step 1: How to Get Started?
Bullet journaling can sound intimidating at first, maybe you’re not a good artist, aren’t creative, or just don’t know where to start. Don’t fret, the great thing about bullet journaling is that it is your personal journal that is meant to be customized and stand on its own. The best way to make your bullet journal your own is getting to pick the materials you want. So what do you need to get started? A notebook and a pen, it’s that easy. Of course, it can range from your regular drugstore notepad and pen to extremely fancy dotted paper and calligraphy pens. Whatever you prefer in terms of materials will get you the same result, a personalized journal to help keep you organized. If you want to invest in bullet journaling a very popular brand of notebooks is Leuttchrum 1917, with its smooth, soft, white paper that makes writing on it feel like a dream. A great choice for pens are the Tombow brush pens that make for bold strokes and are great for journaling.
Step 2: Customize it!
The ability to customize with bullet journaling is a huge selling point for me. Being able to take a blank page and decide if you want to have a chart, pie graph, list, or just write a story makes the idea of bullet journaling an easy choice. Not only is customization a great thing to make something your own but it also helps to alleviate clutter by allowing you to do away with your calendar, personal journal, address book, and anything else that you may be using in addition to your planner. Bullet journaling can help keep your clutter and spending down.
