Why should I use a Bullet Journal?

Have you a scheduler or a memo pad, or both?

A bullet journal might be the next best step up, combining both.  You can schedule and make notes onto you own bullet journal...designed by you!

The concept behind a bullet journal is to streamline your plans, tasks, notes and to-do lists so that they fit within one organizational system. Yes! just one!

This method makes it easier for you to keep everything together and will help you to prioritize, enabling you to be more productive and organized and manage your life.

It can be visually more appealing.  You can create a black and white one, an illustrated one or a combination of scrapbook, notebook and scheduler depending on your reeds. 

The bullet journal format must allow you 

to easily track things in a highly visual 

and organized format. 

These journals also allow you to explore your creative side. Doodling, sketching, color-coded notes, mind maps, and other brainstorming activities can all be incorporated into your personalized journal.  You can add sticky notes, stickers, decorative stamps, etc.

A bullet journal is good for...

- People who have a million little to-do lists floating around

- People who like pen and paper to-do lists

- People who are into goal-setting and habit tracking

- People who like stationery, journaling, scrapbooking, beautiful pens, etc.

- People who really love planners

- People who want to be more organized

- People who would really like to keep a journal/diary but are having trouble sticking with the habit

But definitely, none of these things are requirements for starting and liking bullet journaling.

What you will need are some or all of the tools listed below:

• Notebook
• Pens
• Color crayons, markers and highlighters.  Some creative people even use brush pens and watercolors.
• Washi tape, stickers, sticky notes and any decorative item you might like.
