Bullet Journals - another alternative

How is a Bullet Journal different from a planner?

Planners are great. They are what this magazine is all about. A Bullet Journal is simply another way to plan. It keeps everything all in one place, like a planner can, and thanks to the index you can easily find what you’re looking for.

Do I need a special book?

On BulletJournal.com there is a special Bullet Journal notebook that you can buy, but you certainly don’t need to do that. You can use your favorite blank book. You can use a notebook. You can use a moleskine. My first Bullet Journal, which I’m still using currently, is a composition book. Admittedly it is pink and pretty, but it’s still just a $2-3 composition book.

I decorate my book with planner stickers, use special paper clips, pretty sticky notes and washi tape, just as I do with a regular planner too. There really are no rules on what you can and can’t do with a Bullet Journal, just a suggested format to get you started.

Interested in more info? Visit BulletJournal.com, or just Google Bullet Journal for a wealth of information and examples of how others use their Bullet Journals.
