Bullet journaling has many benefits, as individuals with a lot on our minds, being able to place thoughts to words on paper can bring you peace in many ways!!!
Not forgetting events, writing to-do lists, B-Day lists, notes section as long as you need it to be, anything you constantly think about, having a BJ is the answer for YOU.
It is helpful to place thoughts somewhere other than stored in your brain.
Positives
-If you get a physical BJ, you are not looking at a screen but rather physical tangible paper. You won’t get distracted; rather, it helps you focus on what you need to do.
Tips:
- Right away when any thought comes into your brain but isn’t in the right time or place to act upon it, write it down on your Bullet Journal. It saves you time and brain space when it is out of your brain.
- BJ right when you wake up (besides regular journaling), is a great way to start your day. You get reminded of what is a priority that day, and any important notes you wrote from previous days that may still need to get done all in one place.
Difference between a set Calendar Planner from stores vs Bullet Journals (BJ)
Calendar Planners
-Have a set space per day and week for you to write.
-Every day has the set date for that year inside your planner
-Most commonly have yearly planners or mix between 2 years combined in a planner.
-Regular one-set size sold at stores (Average)
-No personalization available, what you buy at the stores is what you will use for that year.
Bullet Journal:
-Unlimited space per day available to you if you have a lot to write about.
-Can adjust BJ pages to your needs and what you want to create
-Personalization allows you to be as creative or as minimal as you want to dedicate time to everyday writing.
-If you go a week without using your BJ, you still save pages because you can easily date a page to where you left off since you create daily pages as you go depending on your daily needs that day.
-BJ can last you more than the average year because you use the BJ as you need it and get full advantage of the pages and it lasts you longer than 1 year.
-Travel-friendly, because BJ sizes come as small or big as best to fit your needs

To Conclude
Bullet Journals are a great tool to have and use for many various reasons. Hopefully, these tips inspired you to start one if you feel like the positives outweigh the regular planners out there in stores. Find what works best for you always. Just because I am having a great experience with BJ, doesn’t necessarily mean they will be a great fit for you. Apply this to everything in life, shift and adapt everything to fit your needs and wants. Because things in life don’t ever apply the same to every person on earth. We are so unique that all things translate differently to every person.
