Creative Bullet Journal Ideas and Planner Spreads to organize your life. Inspiring layouts you can copy and do yourself! Perfect for your diary, journal, planner, calendar and more

Bullet Journal Ideas & Planner Spreads You Can Copy

I am not a bullet journalist (is that the correct term.) In fact, I got a planner in 2015 (yes, I remember the year) and didn’t make it past January. This is my 10th year of blogging, and I think due to the amount of time I am online each day, I use digital calendars over your traditional paper in pen.

The Bullet Journal is a customizable and forgiving organization system. It can be your to-do list, sketchbook, notebook, and diary, but most likely, it will be all of the above. It will teach you to do more with less. Despite the fact, I am not a “team player” when it comes to planner spreads and bullet journals, I did have fun with my research in this round-up. First, if you are new to bullet journaling, get familiar with the acronym bujo or hashtag #bujo – bullet journaling. I did notice a lot of the bullet journal ideas were international, are most other northern Americans also not creating bullet journals? Raise your hand if you live in the USA and bullet journal – if you look dumb raising you hand in the middle of Starbucks, just leave a comment and tell me you do (and perhaps some of your favorite resources!)

These bullet journal ideas were very inspiring. I noticed for planners, many of you love the Erin Condren Life Planner. When it comes to Bullet Journaling, there are a lot of resources available online. From stickers, to printables, to stencils (for the perfectionists!) It really is a creative outlet and a great way to remain organized!

When journaling, I read that the right pen is a must – take a look at the the black Sakura Micron Pens in a variety of sizes. As a former teacher and pen connoisseur myself, I personally love these Dual Tip Watercolor Brush Markers and these Dual Tip Brush Marker Pens.
