Can You Benefit From a Bullet Journal?

By Stepy Kamei

Getting and staying organized is one of the most important things you can do in order to live a healthy and productive lifestyle. However, in an ironic twist, it can be pretty difficult to even get yourself organized, in order to get your life organized, in the first place! It can be discouraging to feel like you're failing before you've even really gotten started! However, there is one relatively new method of organization that seems to be beneficial to a lot of people. Best of all, it's customizable so you can fit it into your schedule and routine however you want it to. Read on to learn more about how using a bullet journal works, and how you can incorporate into your everyday routine!

What is a Bullet Journal?

A bullet journal is essentially an organizational tool based within a notebook. The Bullet Journal was created as an effective method to track past patterns, keep the present organized, and plan for the future.

You may be familiar with other journals with pre-printed pages. If these haven't been helpful for you, keep in mind that bullet journals start completely blank. Then, using organizational tools encouraged by the bullet journaling method, you can craft your own system of organizing every aspect of your life. From work to social commitments to family outings, you can map it all out using your bullet journal. The best part is that you can bring all these aspects of your life together in one place in whichever manner you choose.

Whether you want to be methodical and use lists and bullet points, or indulge in your creative side by using color-coded messages and drawings, bullet journaling can help you find out which method of organization truly suits you!

How Can You Practice Bullet Journaling?

To start, pick yourself up a blank notebook, along with some pens (maybe a few in different colors if that suits you), and a ruler. A general guideline for how to format your new bullet journal might look something like this:

  • Index - It can help to create a table of contents here so you know what the rest of the journal will look like.
  • Future plans and goals - This section can list your concrete, attainable plans, as well as more abstract goals.
  • Monthly log - At the beginning of each month, map out the goals you'd like to accomplish within that time frame.
  • Daily task list - Like a traditional planner, use this space to plan out each individual day.

There are many additional helpful resources you can turn to for further guidance on how to start up a bullet journal.
