Organize your life and daily routine creatively with a bullet journal — a highly flexible organizing system that combines a calendar, to-do lists, notes, and personal records in one notebook.
Created by Ryder Carroll, it is based on a simple yet effective methodology that helps you manage your life in a personalized and highly creative way.
You will need:
To start your own Bullet Journal, you will need some "basic" tools:
1. Notebook: A dot grid notebook is ideal for drawing.
2. Pens or markers: Use a high-quality pen or smudge-free markers.
3. Ruler, stickers and stamps (optional): Ideal to add artistic flair to your journal.
You can find everything here!
Starting your Bullet Journal:
1. Create an Index (Table of Contents)
The first thing you'll need is a table of contents (index), where you'll list the pages of your journal so you can find them easily. It's the first thing, mainly because it should be on the front pages of your bujo, but that's rather optional.
2. Create a Future Log
Here, you’ll note important dates and events for the upcoming months. It provides a quick overview of the future.
3. Create a Monthly Log
It includes a monthly calendar and a list of the main tasks that need to be completed.
4. Write regularly your Daily Log
Here, you can jot down your daily chores, ideas, and notes.
5. Add Custom Pages
Your Bullet Journal is more than an organisation planner! You can add:
1. A book list with the books you want to read
2. This year's goals
3. Gratitude pages
4. Habit tracker

Often, I hear people ask, "Why should I choose a bullet journal instead of a ready-made planner from the bookstore?" Although both serve the same purpose, a bullet journal (BuJo) offers greater flexibility and a space to express yourself creatively.
In a bullet journal, you decide how to organize your pages, what to include, and how to layout your content. Want to add habit trackers, book lists, or a page for your expenses? No problem!
If you enjoy drawing or adding personal touches, the BuJo is perfect! You can customize it with doodles, colors, stickers, and make it uniquely yours.
Finally, it also functions as a mindfulness tool because it encourages you to think and record what truly matters.
So, what do you say? Are you ready to start your own Bullet Journal?
Wishing you a blessed Lent and lots of love!
