I've gathered 15 great ideas for you to add to your bullet journal!
Let's start practicing?
1. Your opinion on the books you've read and a rating for them
2. Favorite quotes
3. Calendars
4. Your favorite songs and what they remind you of
5. Special recipes (that delicious treat you love to eat)
6. Study schedule
7. Venting time (write down everything you're feeling, without worrying about judgment)
8. List of dreams that have already been fulfilled
9. Ideas for social media posts
10. Catalog samples of your favorite washi tapes (stickers)
11- Write down the collections you make or want to make
12- Write down the names of different fonts to practice lettering
13- Control consumerism (before buying anything, think about whether you really need it; if you will really use it. Avoid impulse purchases)
14- Mark on a map the places you have been or want to go
15- The best thing of the week (Set aside a page per week and, however confusing it may have been, always challenge yourself to write about something positive that happened in it)
To create your bullet journal, you can use any notebook you have at home. The most commonly used by bujo enthusiasts is the dotted notebook, because it has reference points for you to make your notes and gives you more freedom to personalize the page as you wish.
I hope these ideas make your bullet journal even more content-rich and personalized!
There's one aspect that makes this practice even more special: decoration. And among the many ways to personalize your bullet journal, stickers hold a prominent place.
In this article, we'll explore how to use stickers to make your bullet journal more playful, enjoyable to fill out, and full of meaning. We'll also discuss how this practice can help you reflect on your daily life and build a visual narrative of your own life.
