A Bullet Journal is a way to stay organized and be creative. It is designed for everyone, as you are able to customize it! Basically, you take a journal and make yourself a daily planner.
There is a journal made for the purpose of bullet journaling, but you don't have to use this exact journal; any regular journal will do.
When you create your own planner, you get to add things that most planners don't have: expense or exercise trackers, inspirational and motivational quotes, and even ways to manage stay on top of college courses.
Here are five reasons you should start bullet journaling right now:
1. It helps you get organized.
There are tons of things you can do with a bullet journal. Being organized isn't just keeping a to-do list. You can get organized by keeping track of your habits; such habits could be exercising or cleaning your space every day. During the summer, bullet journaling is a great way to keep track of a summer job, books you want to read, shows you want to watch, or your vacation plans.
2. You can get as creative as you want.
Bullet journals are a great way to let your creativity flow. You can spend as much time on designing a page layout as you'd like. Or, if you are a busy person and don't have time to spend 15 to 20 minutes journaling, keeping it simple way be the way for you. It's all about what works for you. There are also tons of print outs you can find online as well as get inspiration from.
3. It helps you become more productive and efficient.
Ever feel like you aren't doing as much as you'd like do to? Like working out, spending time reading, or even doing an assignment for a class? Bullet journaling helps you become more productive the more you use it. I like to use it to track my exercise routines, what I am eating every day, and any work I need to do.
4. All you need is a pen and a journal.
While there is a journal that you can order that is designed for bullet journaling, it's not essential. Neither are any fancy markers, pens, or washi tape. While these tools are a great way to express yourself, all you really need is a pen and a journal to start.
5. You can relax while you do it.
This is a great opportunity to sit down and focus on one thing: journaling. You can take time out of your busy day to relax by basically drawing. It doesn't hurt to give yourself some time to yourself, while also getting organized.
Bullet journaling is such a great way to express yourself and become proficient and organized at the same time. It's not like any old planner, you are able to fit it to your needs. I would definitely recommend giving it a try. Who knew you could get so creatively organized!?
