What is the Bullet Journal Method?
The Bullet Journal method is a system to help you organise your tasks and thoughts in a written journal.
As long as you have a notebook and a pen, this system is for anyone.
Don't be put off by the overly artistic bullet journal pages that are shown across Pinterest, Instagram and other social media. At its core, bullet journalling is a simple system that does not require any creativity at all.
Who is bullet journalling for?
I have used it for managing my many work tasks and problems in a corporate job. Others use it to organise their study notes or busy home schedules. It is flexibile enough to be used for almost anything that requires you to capture ideas, tasks, prioritise and reflect.
How does it work?
At a high level, the Bullet Journal method is based on the following principles:
- Everything is a bullet. Everything in your Bullet Journal is written as a bullet point. This includes tasks, events, notes, and ideas.
- Tasks are migrated. If you don't complete a task on one day, you simply migrate it to the next day or put it in a list to prioritise at a later date.
- Nothing is permanent. You can move tasks to different days, and add new tasks at any time. This makes the Bullet Journal method a flexible and adaptable system.
How to Get Started with the Bullet Journal Method
To get started with the Bullet Journal method, you will need a notebook and a pen. You can use any type of notebook, but it is recommended that you use a notebook with dotted pages. Dotted pages will give you more flexibility when creating your Bullet Journal layout.

Once you have your notebook and pen, you can start creating your Bullet Journal layout. The layout of your Bullet Journal is up to you, but there are a few basic elements that most Bullet Journals include:
- Index: The index is a list of all of the pages in your Bullet Journal. This will help you to quickly find the information you are looking for.
- Future log: The future log is a place to write down important events or deadlines that are coming up.
- Monthly log: The monthly log is a place to write down all of your tasks and events for the month.
- Weekly log: The weekly log is a more detailed view of your tasks and events for the week.
- Daily log: The daily log is a place to write down all of your tasks and events for the day.
