6 Reasons To Start A Bullet Journal Today

If you haven’t taken the jump into Bullet Journaling – I wanted to share my 6 top reasons for you to start one, today! There is no time like the present to start focusing on your individual needs.​

​Reasons To Start:

🧠 Organization
If you keep notes, to-do lists, and ideas in a bunch of different places, Bullet journals are a great way to bring it all together.​

🪞 Self-reflection
I’ve never really been one for long-form journaling, but I’ve come to find short form reflection really helpful. Setting a monthly intention for yourself gives you something to focus on for the next few weeks. Taking time to think about what you need to work on, and what you’d like to work on, helps set up intentional areas to put your time.​

⭐️ Goal Setting
Your monthly intentions are a great place to set short-term goals. But you can also track yearly, quarterly, or monthly goals for yourself.

⏰ Time Management
Similar to Goal tracking, time management can take on different forms in your bullet journal. For example, I track my own and my team’s capacity in my Bullet journal as a way to understand how we are using our time.​

📘 Customization
If you can’t find a planner you like – make your own. This is the one thing that I love the most about a blank notebook. Whether you are following the Bullet Journal Method or your own approach, you can set up your notebook any way that you want.

🎨 Creativity
It’s up to you if you want to add any type of creativity into your Bullet Journal. I think a great reason to add any type of creativity to your journal is if you have a personal goal to improve on a skill.​

My At Home Studio Tour

Hello Crew. FINALLY, after talking about this for a while, I have my studio tour for you! I have some updates that I want to make to this space, but before I do, I wanted to show you how I work and play in my studio / work area. I like compartmentalizing my working spaces, so you will see how I think about stationery organization. I’ll also link some of my favorite products below in case you see anything that might help you better organize yourself and your space.

Learn How To Start a Bullet Journal Today

Starting a Bullet Journal from scratch can be a little intimidating. I spend about 6 months researching about how to bullet journal before I ever started, but that was being there wasn’t anything out there that walked me through how to do it. So I made a video for me… but really for you.

It’s great to see all the creative journals out there. Even on Instagram and Pinterest I love seeing different ideas, but I always find myself thinking ” But how did they make that and how are they using it”?

So in today’s video, I am setting up a Bullet Journal from scratch. We are going to work together to build out a fully functioning journal that you can literally start in today! We will cover all the core pages like the Key, Index, and Future Log. Along with with showing you real world examples of how to work in your bullet journal. We will check off tasks, migrate things back to the future log, and also show you how to migrate things forward into your next week.

Planner Peace? The 2024 Night Owl Planner

Tis’ the season for preparing for the new year in your planner, and now is about the time when most people are finalizing their plans. But, if you haven’t… worry not! I may have found the perfect planner for you and your needs!

B6 Vertical Weekly Night Owl Planner Review

I was introduced to Owl Paper Planners last year when Marisa, the creator of the Night Owl Planner, reached out to me. She shared a similar background as I have, in that she loves Bullet Journaling but felt like parts of the system didn’t work for her. So she went out and created a journal that met the needs of what she was trying to accomplish – and as it turns out, a lot of people have similar wants and needs. 

  1. B6 Size for easy portability
  2. 6-Month Breakdowns
  3. Pre-dated Vertical Weeklies
  4. Monthly Calendar Pages
  5. 320 Tomoe River Paper Pages
Highland Green July – Dec 2024 Owl Paper NightOwl Planner

I have loved using this planner these past 6-months. I’ve learned a lot about how I like to plan and what this type of planner has to offer me.

So, in celebration of planning for the new year, Owl Paper and I are hosting a Giveaway where we are going to give you a full year of Night Owl Planners. You will get 2 Planners (Jan – June, July – Dec) for 2024. Full details for the giveaway are on my Instagram page where you can enter to win!

Good luck with the giveaway, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on this journal in the Youtube video comments.
