Bullet Journaling | My Life in a Notebook

So I got a couple of questions about my bullet journal today (and I have gotten a few throughout the past year or so). So here a bit about my planner history and my current bullet journal. Nobody may care but here you go.

Here are all my past (and current planner):

I have been planning in some fashion like this since at least 2014. I used to use a coil planner from a company I am not naming. I used that for about three years. And while using those, I discover planner stickers and sticker kits. So I used sticker kits and did “no white space” planning. But that planner was big and heavy and didn’t serve my life. So I loved the idea of bullet journaling because 1) I could do what I wanted and 2) I could draw and use fun pens and pencils and be creative. So since about 2018, I have bujo’d.

Here are all my bullet journals:

Each notebook hold about six months. But I like looking at pretty things. So I started buying cute icons. And washi tape. And before you know, I am back to using full blown sticker kits. And by now, people were making stickers with foil. And down the rabbit hole I went. My bullet journal is so a point of joy for me. I love looking at it and smiling at how pretty it is. So I spend the money on pretty things for it.

Supplies:

- Notebook: I currently use an Archer and Olive journal. They are not cheap but they usually go on sale every so often. You don’t need a fancy journal. There are dot journals at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and Walmart. I started off in Leuchtrumm and then used Scribbles That Matter and the last two are A&O. But any notebook will work.

- Pens and Pencils: Again, any pen/marker/pencil works. I current use a Pentel Ener-gel Clean .5 in Black. PaperJoy gel pens are popular. So are Sharpie Pens, and Muji Pen. Find yourself a pen that doesn’t smear. For the brush lettering I use a Fudenosuke by Tombow, they have hard and soft tips. I also have the Tombow Dualbrush Pens that can double as watercolors. A great cheap option is Crayola Supertips, which I started off with. But again find something you love and use it!!

- Washi Tape: I sometimes love washi tape and sometimes I hate it. Washi tape is paper tape and that is removable without damaging paper. You can buy it at Walmart, craft stores, Amazon, Etsy, Ali Express.

- Stickers: You don’t need stickers to make a bullet journal work for you. I like pretty things. So I use my discretionary income on planner stickers. They give me great joy. I buy both full kits (I often buy mini kits or B6 kits based on the size of my notebook). I also buy functional stickers (label stickers, scripts, little bullet dotes, icons). And I buy decorative stickers because they are pretty and are often foil so my planner shines.

What I Track:

I am a simple hoe. I do a weekly spread, I usually create a monthly calendar, I track some things for work. I have swatches of my Tombows, swatches of my washi, a grid cheat sheet for dividing pages evenly, my fic tracker, and a tracker of my closet, bill tracker, year at a glance. Lots of people track habits monthly. I put it in a weekly tracker. Honestly put in it what you will use.

Resources:

- I watch a lot of YouTube videos of Plan with Mes with planner girls using kits and what not. That is how I get inspiration on how to layer things and what is out there and how to make things pretty. I also watch haul videos. I shouldn’t but I do. They are super enabling. When I wanted to learn brush lettering, I watch YouTube videos. I watch people setting up bullet journals. I am a research gal.

- I also follow a bunch of planner girls and bullet journal accounts on Instagram. Huge inspiration. Here are some of the peeps I follow on IG and YouTube:

Gathered Plans, Planning Klo, Moon Prism Planner, Scribble Prints Co. Viv Luvstoplan, Shawnte Plans, lauralee_plans, TheCoffeeMonsterzCo, Cindy Guentert-Baldo (great for lettering!), Erin Floto Designs, planmoshplans, jannplansthings, plansthatblossom

- Here are some of the places I buy stickers from:

Sadie’s Stickers, Scribble Prints Co, TheCoffeeMonsterzCo (that is where the little Lokis are from), The Giving Girl, Nicollette Amour Designs (she is closed right now), honeyinked, Clever Gal Crafts, PaperMuseCrafts, MegBMakes. There are a ton of shops out there all over the world. Find a few you love.

Most of my washi tape is either from Simply Gilded or TheCoffeeMonsterzCo. Hobby Lobby has great selections (if you have one)

How to Save Money:

-Don’t buy everything at once. Start small. See what you like, what you don’t. No need to break the bank right away. You would hate to buy everything and then not use it! I have bought things I won’t use because I was like “ooooh sparkly.”

- See if printables work for you. Printing and cutting stickers yourself can be way cheaper. Just an option

- Look for ways to try things out or buy smaller amounts. This is especially true with washi tape. Tons of shops on Etsy sell washi tape samples. A lot shops have sampler sheets.

- Look for coupon codes and sales. Planner stickers are always going on sale. And shops almost always have a coupon code on their IG account. They also have PR peeps who have coupon codes too and it often means the shop throws in an extra freebie. Black Friday is huge. Follow shops on IG.

- Don’t worry about keeping up with the Joneses. I have been planning for a long time. And this style gives me joy. I have been building this collection for years. I have pretty much narrowed down what I love. And I have the money to spend (I haven’t been spending money on gas or eating out!)

But for me my bujo is a piece of art and a little bit of beauty in my chaotic world. I hope this helps someone. Love you and I am always willing to answer questions about my bullet journal or where anything in particular is from. Love you all!

#Repost @jannplansthings ・・・ I was recently asked by @mosseryco to try their new Threadbound Notebook and... I really like it! Of course I had to test it by painting a cat, as I ordered the cat version and then I used almost every pen I had on hand in a different version of the pen test. You can see my full review on my Youtube Channel. . . And I've hit a huge milestone this week, I hit 40k followers! To celebrate this, Mossery and I have partnered to offer you guys a chance to win a new threadbound notebook, personalized with your name! You can enter via the link in my bio. . . I want to continue working hard on my channel and instagram for you guys. Thank you for continuing to help me create! #ournextpage . I find that the paper is nice and bright and white, it holds watercolour pretty well, and a little bit better than the Leuchtturm (but it reacts differently - its more like watercolour paper than the Leuchtturm is, which I think leans more towards Tomoe River Paper). The paper is 100gsm, and it lays flat. There are numbers in the corner, of the books, perfect for Bullet Journalling, and it held up well against pencil, the Pentel Sign Pen, Tombow Brush Markers and Tombow Fudenoskue pens and sakura microns. The paper bled a bit with a Pentel Pocket Brush pen, but survived a little better than the LT. . . . Terry Pratchett has the best words - "In ancient times, cats were worshipped by gods; they have not forgotten this". . . . #bulletjournaljunkies #jannplansthings #bujoinspo #bulletjournal #bujo #bujojunkies #bujolover #mossery #studygram #bujolove #bulletjournaller #planneraddict #studyinspiration #bulletjournaling #studyspo #getorganised #watercolor #bujoideas #stationeryaddict #bujo https://www.instagram.com/p/BmkODnSldUw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oywhmc5l0f38

hello lovelies! so i know tumblr’s a great resource for bujo ideas and inspo, but there are plenty of accounts on instagram too!! here are a few of my faves (ﾉᵕᴗᵕ)ﾉﾐ

photos are from the respective ig accounts starting at the top left in clockwise order!!

@alosthue

this bujo account leans more towards function and minimalist layouts, which is my kinda shit so i get lots of ideas from them!! they’ve got plenty of interesting layouts y’all can try + pretty calligraphy

@inkbyjeng

jeng’s spreads have plenty of minimalist vibes and and she also has her own stamp set!! (which you can buy here) her drawings are pretty on point, especially for maps

@bonjournal

this account also does floral themes, but in addition she posts how to draw various flowers that are featured in her layouts. her instructions are easy enough to follow so with a little bit of practice i’m sure y’all can pick up the skill fairly well

@bumblebujo

this account has beautiful floral layouts. since i don’t have the patience to draw such detailed designs, this account is more of #bujogoals than actual inspiration, but if you’re up for drawing then this is probably for you!!

@jannplansthings

jann features her weekly spreads’ before and after pics and her drawings are super good so GO 👏🏼 CHECK 👏🏼 HER 👏🏼 OUT 👏🏼 !!! her months are also themed, september’s being studio ghibli’s characters

this list is reaaally small so if you know of other good bujo ig accounts add them in the tags!! i’d love to see where you guys get your inspo from (◠‿◠✿)

Bullet Journal Future Log Ideas & Inspiration

The bullet journal future log is the main hub of your journal. It’s one of the most useful and helpful spreads but can also be one of the most annoying to set up.

It requires a lot of number writing and checking the dates are correct (I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve messed up which months have 30 days and which have 31! And let’s not even talk about February…)

Related Post: Must have bullet journal supplies for every planner addict!

There are so many different ways to set up a future log and so many different designs, it can be hard to choose. So, I’ve gathered a whole bunch of different versions for you to check out and hopefully some will inspire you to start writing those numbers out!

When deciding on what future log to use, the first thing to consider is what sort of layout you prefer. In my first bullet journal I used a vertical layout for my future log. I was really happy with it at first and it looked very pretty. But after a couple of months of using it, I realised I wanted a bit more room to write in events and birthdays each month.

I’m in the process of setting up my new journal at the moment and will definitely be switching to a horizontal layout this time. This way I have a little more room and I even have room to write in a little calendar for each month.

The Original Bullet Journal Future Log

“The Future Log serves as your time machine, allowing you to glimpse the outlines of the future you’re actively working towards.” – Ryder Carroll

The original future log, as set out here by Ryder Carroll (the genius behind the bullet journal system), is a super simple 6 month overview set out over a single double page. Both sides of the page are divided into 3 sections, one for each month.

A post shared by a bullet journal jouney (@newbujojourney) on Aug 11, 2018 at 5:33pm PDT

Horizontal Future Logs With Mini Calendars

These future logs work exactly the same as the original layout but with the added bonus of a mini calendar. This is the type of future log that I’m going to be using in my new journal as it seems to be the most effective for me.

A post shared by j u l i e 📖 (@aboutjuliesjournal) on Aug 24, 2018 at 6:01am PDT

This future log adds a separate box for both events and birthdays each month. This layout is really good if you have a lot of birthdays that you need to keep track of and want to keep them on a separate list to events.

A post shared by Eve (@happilyeveafter__) on Aug 9, 2018 at 11:00am PDT

Simple Calendar Overview

If you just want a quick overview of the whole year, this one could be perfect for you. There’s no space to write in any events or birthdays but I know a lot of people just like to have a simple calendar and then write events and things into their monthly spreads.

The illustrations in the first one are absolutely beautiful!

Vertical Layout Bujo Future Logs With Mini Calendar

Vertical layouts can be an interesting way of setting up your future log. Adding doodles and/or washi tape would be a good way of decorating a spread like this.

The floral design of this one is gorgeous!

Vertical Layout With Days Written Out

These vertical bullet journal layouts work really well with adding the days of the weeks down the page. This makes it very clear to see exactly what events are happening and when.

Calendex Future Logs

A calendex is simply a calendar + an index. This method of future planning was first described by Eddy Hope and it’s a very successful way of planning that is used by a lot of people.

You simply write the months across the top of the page, the days of the month down the side and then section off the beginning and end of each week of that month.

If you sue this method it’s a good idea to colour code the events and things you are putting into this future log. It can get a little confusing if it’s all in one colour because there’s a lot of information on that single page. A lot of people also use symbols as indicators with this method.
