First, let’s talk about your motivation for using the Bullet Journal. Most of the people who Bullet Journal tend to do it because it’s a flexible system that lets them work the way that they work. The Leuchtturm1917 journals come in a huge variety of colors, and they are all delightful. I absolutely love every single color I have ever used, and I’ve never gotten the same color twice. If you’re looking for a journal to have a specific color, chances are that Leuchtturm1917 has you covered. Indexing,Collections,Rapid-Logging, and Migration make up the foundation of the Bullet Journal. 1. Index Here's an article I wrote on how to improve your everyday handwriting with free handwriting guides :) I'm afraid of 'messing up'Let's take a look at some examples of Collections to help you cement the idea that EVERYTHING you could ever want to add into this special notebook system is considered a Collection. Signifiers add extra context to the Bullet Journal. This helps you to see at a glance what the Bullets represent. You do not need to add a Signifier to each Bullet, only the ones you’d like to have more information about stand out. You place these to the left of the Bullets.

While the paper isn’t graded as particularly heavy duty, it can still take quite a bit of abuse. Over the last few years I have used watercolors, brush pens, and fountain pens (just to name a few) in my Leuchtturm1917 journals, and the journal always survived. I even created a massive watercolor test for the Leuchtturm, and it passed with flying colors! I haven’t experienced any bleeding from normal pens or even fountain pens. While there can be a bit of ghosting, it’s never bothered me one bit. As I mentioned before, however, you can get started with any pen and notebook that you have on hand. If you decide that you like the system, you can grab a different notebook and pen later on. Something that is pretty dang cool about the Leuchtturm1917 is that you can get a few different types of paper styles. Of course, there are plain and ruled journals — everyone sells those. Leuchtturm1917 also has a graph paper version of their journal and a dot grid version! Colors Galore Okay, so it’s obvious that I love this journal. But as with any product, it isn’t totally perfect and there are a few cons that are worth noting before you buy one. Price It’s important to think about what you want a system to do for you before you dive in. That said, you’ll figure out your needs more as time goes on, so get started after you’ve thought about it for a little while.Migration is the cornerstone of the Bullet Journal. According to Ryder, "it is the difference between being busy and being productive."Migration is done on a monthly and yearlybasis. To perform Migration, look through all the Collections (significantly, the Monthly and Daily Logs) you made over the last month and Migrate any tasks that you didn't complete and still want to do over to the new Monthly Log, cross out any irrelevant tasks (ask yourself, "is this worth my time?" to decide), and Schedule Tasks and Events you want to do at a later time to the Future Log. Rapid-logging occurs throughout the entire Bullet Journal in Collections (this includes the Month Log, Daily Log, Future Log, and other Collections) by using the Bullets to jot down short snippets and Signifiers to add more context if needed. You do not need to use a Signifier with every Bullet, only add them to the ones you would like more information from at a glance.
