New year means new bullet journal! If you are new to bullet journaling or not quite sure what it is, I have come up with a simple guide to help you get started. It is never too late to start a bullet journal, so grab a pen and a notebook and let's get started! (For a more detailed look on the basics of Bullet Journaling, check out the tutorial from the creator Ryder Carroll!) *If you don't feel like reading this post, see my handy little infographic that I made which is on my Pinterest board, under 'Bullet Journaling'* These are just templates, if you would like to see some spreads that are filled out, check out my Instagram! Key The key is first and is very simple, it consists of a list of symbols that helps you distinguish between the different types of things that you decided to put in your journal. Index The index is a spread where you can log all of pages in your bullet journal so that you can find everything you need quickly and easily. After the index is where you would begin to number your pages or if you already have a notebook with the pages already numbered, that works too. Future Log The future log is a six month overview where you can input any of the big events that are happening in that month like trips you are going on, anniversaries. The future log is for really important items/events that you need to remember for that month that you want to see at a glance. Monthly Log The monthly log is goes at the beginning of each month and this is where you would log all of the important dates of that specific month. Weekly/Daily Log The weekly/daily log is almost like a running to do list for that day or the week. This is where the real planning happens. You can make pre-made spreads like I did here, for the week, or you can make the daily logs as you go throughout your week. Collections Collections are probably the most fun thing about bullet journaling! Collections are just running lists of specific categories like movies to watch, books to read, recipes to make, etc. The possibilities are endless! For these types of spreads in particular, for the Movies to Watch collection I would just write every movie that I wanted to watch in each of the popcorn kernels. And the books to read collection would work the same way as well. Let me know what you think! Have you tried bullet journaling? Are you ready to start? Let me know in the comments below.
