In an attempt to organise myself and my life, I decided to see what the Bullet Journal craze was all about. In 2016, my friend Mairo told me about Bullet Journalling so I decided to have a look on YouTube the font of all knowledge to research this new way of organising. I found a great YouTuber calledย Boho Berry, who had some great videos on how to plan and set up your journal. As soon as I finished watching the videos, I went online and bought a Dotted Moleskine Notebook and some pens.
Bullet Journal or BuJo for short was created by Ryder Carroll. It’s a tool for productivity and to keep you organised. Things have developed since I started in 2016 including a Bullet Journal App and a book calledย The Bullet Journal Method. Find out more about Bullet Journallingย here.
I followed all the tips from Boho Berry’s video as well as some other I found.
- Created the following pages:
- Index page
- Future Log
- Monthly Tracker
- Daily Tracker
- My Goals
- Packing List
- Added page numbers to each page
As usual, I was enthusiastic and would create my monthly tracker with my to do list for the month. I would then create a daily tracker of tasks to be completed. I would complete 1 or 2 days then I would fall off track. I have a few pages left from this notebook which shows how much I tracked over the last 2 years.
I bought a new Red Dotted Moleskine Notebook for 2019. I’m currently in the process of organising the pages ready for the new year. I am determined to complete the bullet journal on a daily basis and make it part of my daily routine.
Here’s to great organisation. I will provide an update in February to see if i’m sticking to it. I’m hoping I will be; determination.
I hope you enjoyed. Until next time.

The thing I love about a bullet journal is that you can use it, or not, but because itโs not preprinted with dates you donโt have lots of empty pages glaring at you when you donโt use it for a while!

That’s why I love it too and probably why I’ve used the journal for 2 years.
