My Bullet Journal

I have had a lot of questions and interest in my bullet journal in the past couple months (on my blog as well as on instagram), so I figured it was time for a post!

My bullet journal (bujo) is a Leuchtturm 1917 Notebook A5 Hardcover Dotted Medium Black. I put it in an inexpensive Franklin Covey Binder (Ringless). I use Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Pens, and Faber Castell Artist Pens. Truly, though, you can use *any* notebook and *any* pens you want to use! I like the dotted Leuchtturm because I can make my lines nice and straight without the darkness of grid lines or horizontal lines in the background. It's truly just a personal preference. (I still have my Erin Condren Planner...which I *do* love...but what I love about the bujo is that I can personalize it to be *exactly* what I want!)

The Leuchtturm pages are numbered and there is an index in the front so you can log what pages things are on (for easy reference)...

I drew a key and calendar on the first couple of pages...

I started out recording things I was thankful for as well as the weather...

As well as logging my fitness and bible reading each month...

Meal planning and encouraging thoughts and scriptures...

For a couple of months I did the PTL Doodles but then, as much as I enjoy doodling, I found it tedious to keep up with each day as I have enough to keep me busy...

Some different quotes and doodles...

I kept a daily tracker for a few months but then realized I like to list things daily and then cross them off rather than continually turning back to the tracker (again, just personal preference....see how you can do whatever works for you!?)...

A monthly view of things...

For a few months I used this layout....half a page per day...

I started trying to do a quarter page per day...but didn't like that. Then I tried to switch up my divider but didn't like that either...

Now I am doing a page-per-day layout and I like it a lot more. I put the day and date at the top and the weather in the top right corner. Daily appointments or timed things are in a column on the left and the right as my To Do list. the bottom corner is where I jot memories, movies watched or books finished, supper menus etc.

I loved this....How to be a Good Housewife...so I copied it into my bujo...

*Notice above...on the right hand page ~ I deactivated my facebook account that day. Although it kind of throws communication off with many friends (as I rarely use my cell phone either nor do I text) ~ it is *truly* freeing to be off of it! I have not regretted the decision. So, if you were my friend on there, please know I didn't just delete you or anything ~ I just decided I was done with it.

Anyway...finally, stickers. Yes, I love stickers. I use stickers from my shop in my bujo. To keep them tidy, I found that a plastic sleeve from a 6-ring binder worked perfectly. I just tuck it in the back behind the bujo!

So...there you have it! :) My Bullet Journal! If you have any questions or anything, leave me a comment below and I will answer to the best of my ability! HERE is the basic gist of the Bullet Journal System. You can make it as simple or complicated as you want/need it. You can doodle/decorate if you want...or you don't have to! It's completely your choice!

If you search instagram, pinterest and other sites, you can find a lot of great bujo inspiration! Eventually you will find your own groove. :)

I hope this has been helpful!
Thanks for stopping by!
Warmly,
Katy
