Journaling for planning, tracking and keeping an overview

Bullet Journaling, or BuJo for short, has been a creative trend for years that’s hard to miss. In addition to the classic Bullet Journal, countless sub-variants have emerged, allowing everyone to find their own way to use a Bullet Journal. That's exactly what we love about journaling. It’s as individual as you are, and you can easily adapt it to your needs and time.

What is a Bullet Journal?

A Bullet Journal is a self-designed calendar diary with thematically structured entries – the bullets. You can create entries in categories of your own choosing. To-do lists, sketches or short diary entries – everything can be entered into a bullet journal. It gives you an overview of what’s going on and allows you to organise yourself the way you want.

I use my bullet journal as both a planning tool and classic calendar and also as a tool for recording activities in the same way as I would in a classic diary.

Anne Broszies, Bullet-Journal-Expert

In the digital era, a bullet journal is a conscious way of slowing down and being mindful. For many people, bullet journaling has become a beloved creative activity.

Who invented Bullet Journals?

The inventor of the Bullet Journal is Ryder Carroll, a designer of digital products from New York. When he was a child, he was diagnosed with learning difficulties. He therefore looked for alternative ways to remain focused and productive. And so he developed the principle of bullet journaling. Ryder believes that keeping a bullet journal can help people live more focused and target-oriented lives and not be constantly distracted.

With bullet journals, Ryder Carroll has obviously hit a nerve and the Internet today is full of ideas on the best or most beautiful way to design a Bujo.

Making a Bullet Journal look attractive

  • A Bujo can be 100% customised.
  • It is independent of time and place and always works wherever you are, even without cable or network.
  • A Bujo helps you to work in a focused way, unlike a mobile phone that can distract when it displays new messages or posts.
  • With a Bujo you can practise a little creativity every day and improve your skills. When you enter something, you practise techniques like handlettering oder sketchnoting every day. You work with colours and different pencils and experience the wonderful feeling of being creative while doing so.

The materials you need for your Bullet Journal

Water-based pens are well suited for bullet journaling because they do not penetrate most types of paper. They lie on the paper rather than being absorbed and bleeding through. They are therefore ideal for working in notebooks where both sides of the page will be used.

Pens that are particularly suitable are felt-tip pens such as the TwinTones, ballpoint pens such as the practical four-colour ballpoint pen Reporter 4, ABT Dual Brush Pens and highlighters such as the MONO edge. Correction rollers are suitable for simple, fast corrections because the dry correction tape can be written on immediately. If you also want to glue, something into your Bujo, then a glue stick or a glue tape is ideal because they won’t make the paper on the individual pages warp.
