Bullet Journals have made ways of organizing new again. The original way of bullet journal was a way of rapid logging, such as to do lists, tasks, or events. All kept in this journal. As more picked up their own bullet journal new ways slowly came about. Making the bullet journal innovative and something fun to do. Quickly the bullet journal has become whatever you make it. Which is perfect for the fast way of life and keeping everything organized. For me, my bullet journal has become a way of organizing my busy college schedule, while having something to be creative in, or even used as a notebook when needed. So I want to introduce you to the bullet journal and the best pinterest, youtube, and instagram pages to look at for when creating your own bullet journal. Plus where to start when getting your first bullet journal.
To start, what type of journal should you use? Personally, I use a hard cover Moleskine, with grid paper. There is also a dotted Moleskine, and another that is recommended is the Leuchtturm1917 dotted, which is slightly bigger than the Moleskines. However, you can create your own bullet journal in whatever journal you choose.

Some bullet journalists use specific pens for their bullet journal. The pens I use vary, for day to day stuff I use Staedtler Triplus Fineliners. For major titles, I use a calligraphy pen and for being artsy I use Kuretake Zig Twin Tip Marker, which on one end is a brush marker, then on the other just a marker. Another great everyday black pen to use is Faber-Castell Wallet Pitt Pen Nibs Art Set.
