Being a writer and a task oriented person planners, journals, notebooks, pads of paper... they make me drool.
My problem? Too many options, layouts, designs, covers, sizes, brands, etc.
I came across the concept of bullet journaling either through youtube or Pinterest. I am not sure how it happened, but when I did... I was hooked.
Heres the link to the main website.
Heres how I do it.
Every New Year:
1 Journal for Day Planner purposes (Dotted paper)
1 Journal for personal journaling (Lined paper)
Both journals must be of similar size and compliment each other.
For this year?
A Leuchtturm1917 Taupe
A Kate Spade Rose Gold
I peruse my Pinterest board for saved bullet journaling images for the formats I believe would work for me, and then I play. I have fun and I end up getting a more refined idea of how I want my life to be and feel as I progress throughout the year.
Here is how I have formatted my bullet journal for 2017:
