Bullet Journals

Houseplant26

I bought some supplies today. I got a bit carried away and bought a cheapest dotted paper notebook with perforated pages to try out dot grids, a notebook and some coloured pens.

Bit worried I will want it to be perfect and not start it.....

I thought that too but once I got going the 'mistakes' didn't bother me...(as long as they were neat mistakes )

My current bullet journal (bu-jo) is a work in progress. I'm thinking of redesigning mine so I have a certain number of pages for everything associated with the month as my bu-jo is getting a little chaotic. I would then know the section I am in. I might keep all my collections grouped together too. I am going to start a menu planning page for each week too.

I love this idea, I've never even heard of bullet journals before but I'm definitely intrigued and eager to give it a try!

I was the same Houseplant. Just go for it. If you do make a mistake, just cover it up with something nice (or stick two pages together lol).

I can tell you are a complete convert now DIA. I wasn't going to shorten to bu-jo yet incase I confused anyone but I love it!!

Positive Thinking - It's the best thing I ever did to keep myself organised and also to get all of the rubbish out of my head (brain dump). I love that expression lol.

Hope these are of some help. I only use a few of these and I just picked out ones that would really help me. Obviously if you don't use one as much as you thought you can just omit it from your next journal.

I'm just getting December ready and already have my Christmas lists started. I've also got my future log filling up ready to move into next year.

Last of the lists tomorrow.
