What is a Bullet Journal?
What is a Bullet Journal?
Bullet journaling is a flexible analogue system for recording and organising information in a notebook. Developed by Ryder Carroll, it uses short-form entries known as rapid logging, typically organised into tasks, events, and notes.
A traditional bullet journal also uses collections such as an index, future log, monthly log, and daily log. Over time, the term has also come to encompass more personalised journals that combine this basic system with trackers, layouts, lettering, doodles, and other custom pages.
In short:
A notebook-based journaling and organisation system
Uses brief entries for tasks, events, and notes
Built around logs and collections
Can be kept minimal or customised with trackers, layouts, art, and other pages
How to Bullet Journal?
How to Bullet Journal?
There is no single way a bullet journal has to look. While the original Bullet Journal method created by Ryder Carroll is deliberately simple and functional, bullet journaling has evolved into many different styles. Some journals are highly decorative, using stickers, patterned papers, printables, stamps and other craft supplies, while others sit somewhere in between, using mostly a pen and a few colours to turn hand-drawn layouts into beautiful spreads. The style you choose can be as minimal or as creative as you want it to be. 😍
Three common styles of bullet journaling
Three common styles of bullet journaling
1. Minimalist
The closest to Ryder Carroll's original method: simple symbols, short entries, lists and logs, with little or no decoration.
2. Decorative / Scrapbook Style
Uses materials such as stickers, washi tape, patterned paper, photographs, stamps and other decorative elements to build layered, artistic spreads.
3. Hand-Drawn / Creative
Uses primarily pens, markers or pencils to draw layouts, lettering, borders, doodles and trackers by hand. It keeps the basic notebook-and-pen character of bullet journaling while leaving plenty of room for creativity.
