Aiming for 50 books this year - falling a little behind but that’s what December is for :)
starting a bullet journal, a guide by studypetals
hey everyone! it’s rhianne, or studypetals. i’ve gotten a lot of questions and concerns about how to start a bullet journal, so i decided to start a new one myself to show you how i set mine up!
GENERAL INFORMATION:
so what’s a bullet journal? well, it’s not an actual journal, per se, but rather a system of journaling! the “bullet” word comes from “bullet points,” the way tasks/events are jotted down in this journaling system. (source)
what is a bullet journal used for? a bullet journal can be used as a simple planner system, but it can also be a creative way to plan your daily/weekly tasks! some people even use it as a half-scrapbook/half-planner (like me!)
what’s the difference between a planner and a bullet journal? this is a great question i’ve gotten before. a planner already has the dates/decorated pages/etc. all you have to input into a planner is tasks and events. a bullet journal is a book of blank pages, so it allows more creative freedom than a planner does. if you aren’t patient enough for free-handing everything, stick to a regular planner. if you like having a unique journal/planner and like customizing your spreads, look into starting a bullet journal!
MY SETUP:
picture 1: material starter pack here’s what i use for my bullet journal (aside from the decorative things like washi tape, magazine cutouts, etc.)
moleskine notebook, regular, squared, soft cover
zebra mildliners
pilot g-2 pens
muji 0.35mm pens
picture 2: cover page i just have a cover page to catalogue what this journal has in it. you can always put anything you want on the cover page, like:
the semester you’re using it in
your name
“bullet journal” or “planner”
a simple quote
etc.
picture 3: index so for my first journal, i didn’t even use an index. it’s up to you whether you want to include one or not. if you use an index, remember to number the rest of the pages after it! you can either catalogue every page after you’re done with it, or only the pages you really want to reference.
picture 4 (left): legend this is super important, especially for a bullet journaling system! so in this particular system of journaling, each task has a bullet point next to it. the most regular one i’ve seen is a square, so that’s what i use. what the legend does is keep track of what each symbol means. of course, if you just want to fill the squares in after you complete a task, then you don’t need this. however, if you want more organization, then make up whatever symbols you need to for this part! there isn’t one concrete symbol system, so do what works for you!
picture 4 (right): testing stationery page i like seeing what each pen/highlighter writes like before i really use it, so why not make a page for testing them! what i do is write what type of stationery it is with the actual pen/highlighter so i don’t forget which stroke is which.
picture 5 (left): favorite washi page ahhhh one of my favorite pages. you can put your washi collection on this page, or just strips of the ones you like a lot! they can be as long or short as you want them to be.
picture 5 (right): youtube ideas! (or other filler pages) this isn’t for everyone, of course, but it’s one that i added! i just showed it to you guys since i wanted to show the washi tape page. anyways, there are a lot of cool pages you can add throughout your bullet journal, such as:
books to read/movies to watch/etc.
life goals
expenses
favorite quotes
moodboards
class schedule/information
recipes
AU ideas (for writers!)
favorite art pieces
favorite lyrics
etc.
picture 6: weekly spreads the big one! so this is what i primarily use my bullet journal for. step-by-step, this is how mine are created (but you can always make yours unique):
make the title (“week #,” or something)
write the days
write the dates
write down the tasks for each day
make a section for something you have to do each day (the “essentials”)
write down the extra sections (goals, important dates, quote of the week, habit trackers, etc.)
decorate with washi tape, doodles, printed pictures, magazine cutouts, leaves, flowers, movie tickets, etc.
extra resources from me to you:
doodle references
banner references
font references
journal setups

@asazora‘s bullet journal
WHEW. that’s all i have for this topic (for now.) i hope any or all of this helps you guys out there wanting to start a bullet journal. if you want to make one, we’re gonna be in this together! have fun and remember the most important thing: it doesn’t have to be perfect. not all the pages are gonna be great, you’re gonna make mistakes, and some pages are just not gonna be what you wanted them to be, but that is 100% okay. just remember to have fun with it, and just.. start!

don’t sleep in class! i know it seems so so tempting but slept my way through geography last year and i got a C in my exam instead of the expected A so…
Don’t tick off your teacher, follow the rules to an extent, get to class on time, respect your classmates and teachers. you know, just be a decent person.
be positive!!! and not just for the first week or so, keep the positivity going throughout the whole school year. if you don’t believe in yourself then why should anyone else?
“you can do it, wildcat, i believe in u” — something troy bolton said one time probably definitely
Hello again, my lovelies! I bring you part 2 of my “Starting a Bullet Journal” Masterpost! See part 1 here. Now that I’ve told you a bit about the supplies bullet journalers use, we can move on to how to actually start a bullet journal!
View The Official Bullet Journal Video
Identification Page
This should be the first page in your bullet journal, normally. In the off chance that you lose it (I’m constantly worried about losing things), the kind person who finds it can return it to you! I suggest writing your full name and a way to contact you at the least. Here’s a picture of mine, I’ve added a doodle I’ve made.
A Key
A lot of bullet journalers have keys to keep their thoughts organized. I, personally, don’t have one. But you can watch the Official Bullet Journal Video to get an idea of what a key should include!
This key/legend by @sushi-studies is beautiful!!!
Table of Contents
To make it much easier to flip back and forth through your journal and to keep it all organized, start by numbering all of your pages in a way that works for you. Leave at least 3 pages (or as much as you feel like you may need) for a table of contents. You can add to this as you work through your journal. This is mine as of right now. So far I’ve only used about one page but I can already tell I’m going to need all three, and maybe more than that.
Yearly Overview
For me, It’s good to be able to see my entire year on just a couple a pages. I just have mini calendars with important dates next to them. I transfer these dates later on into my monthly spread with more detail (we’ll talk about this later).
Extra Pages
This is the point where I left several pages blank, because I knew I’d want them later for spreads that I would come back to on a regular basis. So far I’ve used these pages for “2016 Yearly Goals”, My Personal Reading Challenge, A wish list, and a budget/spending list! There are so many great ideas out there. I’m really in love with
Monthly Spreads
This is where I’ll talk about the earlier mentioned “Monthly Spreads”. This is where I make a bigger calendar that I add lots of detail to. I also transfer any dates from my yearly overview to the monthly spreads. I add goals sometimes if I feel like I need the motivation.
Habit Trackers
Habit trackers are a really good way to stay busy and productive! I’ve seen so many amazing ones. Some people make one fro the entire month and fill up a whole page with it. I prefer to make a smaller one on my weekly spreads (which I will go over next) because it seems less overwhelming to me that way! Some of my favorites are …. this one by @successaesthetics and this one by @eyesonthestars-feetontheground
Weekly Spreads
This is my most common spread. I make a new one each week. This is where I write all school assignments and things that have to get done in that specific week. I try to vary the way I lay them out from week to week so I don’t grow bored with one. This is where I put my habit trackers as well. I used to use two pages a week, but at the moment I’ve been cramming it all into one because I don’t like feeling like I’ve wasted space. If I end up needing the space, I can go back to two. This is a good example of how versatile the bullet journal is. You can always change it to fit your needs. Don’t ever feel pressured into doing it a certain way!
Examples and ideas:
Weekly Spread by @tumblstudies
Weekly Spread by @bandaidsdontfixbulletjournals
Weekly Spread by @genspen
That about wraps it up for the contents of a bullet journal. Do whatever works best for you! Enjoy journaling! It’s not for everyone, but i think you should at least give it a try. It’s an amazing way to sort through your brain and keep everything organized. If you have any questions or need any more clarification, don’t be afraid to ask! Have a fantastic day everyone!

Hello fellow students! i have been getting a lot of asks about my bullet journal lately and I decided to make a masterpost about it so I could share all of my tips and information with you guys. I hope you will find it helpful!
What is a bullet journal?
A bullet journal is a multi-functional notebook that you can use as a planner, journal, to-do list or everything else you want to use it for and it takes only a few minutes a day. A bullet journal is completely customisable, so you can find out what system works for you. That way you can be as productive as you want to be and because you have written down your tasks that you need to do, it gives you a sense of achievement every time you tick off a box!
What do i need to start a bullet journal?
First, check out these links for some extra information: - official bujo website - great explanation
Are you still interested in starting a bullet journal? Than all you need are these supplies:
Notebook:
A notebook is the base of starting a bujo. You can use every notebook you prefer; dotted, lined, squared. Here are some common known notebooks:
-moleskine -leuchtturm1917 -Muji
Pens:
Without pens, it is impossible to write down your tasks. Once again you can use every pen you like, but here are some amazing brands:
-pilot pens -Muji -Staedler triplus fineliners -Stabilo point 88 -Zebra mildliners
washi-tape
sticky notes
ruler
glue
coloured pens
How do I start setting up my bullet journal? If you gathered all your supplies, you need to start by creating an index and a key or color-coding system. I recommend using the first or the last page as the index of your bujo, here you can keep track of the pages in your bujo. I find a key or color-coding system very useful to categorise and prioritize my tasks and events. Here are some good examples of an index, key/color-coding system:
-Index -Key -Prioritizing system
If that worked out for you, start choosing the pages you want to include in your bujo, here are some ideas:
year at a glance
habit tracker
reading list
movies or tv-shows to watch
bucket list
water tracker
washi-tape page
pen testing page
packing list
blog post ideas
quote of the month/day
gratitude log
grade tracker
favourite songs/artists
food log
yearly/monthly/weekly goals
birthdays
study/school timetables
password page
to-do lists
sleep tracker
budget/spending tracker
words you learned
photos of the week/month
weather tracker
study-o-meter
list of new school supplies
handwriting practicing
mood tracker
doodle page
homework tracker
important assignments
wish list
level 10 life
favourite printables
Pomodoro tracker
Fonts & colors
Now you’ve chosen what pages you would like to use in your bullet journal, the next step is to choose in what style you want to make your bujo. Your style completely depends on what colors and fonts you use in your bujo. You could give every week or month a different color for example, or write in a different font every month. This is ofcourse your own decision, but to help you out I chose some very inspiring pictures of the use of colors and fonts in bullet journals!
-Fonts -Banners

Started my first ever bullet journal. Week one went really well!!
June 28, 2016 | I added two new pages to my bujo, and I am completely in love with them!!
