It’s no secret that I’m a legit planner addict (and planner maker, HOLLA!). My newest planning obsession is bullet journaling. The funny thing is, I’ve really always “bullet journaled” – it just didn’t have a name back when I was a kid (or if it did, I didn’t know it), and until recently, I used regular, lined paper journals instead of official bullet journals with graph paper.
With my current bullet journaling set up, I feel newly inspired to journal, create, and make something awesome. When I am stuck on a work project or trying to settle a busy brain before bed, I work in my bullet journal. I find that directing all of my energy into creating a new page really helps settle my brain…kind of like coloring does for lots of people (I like to color too, but not as much as I like to create something altogether new). Sometimes, though, I get stuck. So I put together a list of more than 65 bullet journal ideas to help get unstuck…rather than sit around and complain that I can’t think of anything to journal about, I just pull from this list and get after it.
