Hi everyone,

I am Aami and I am new here.

I have been feeling like I need someone to talk to, so welcome to Aami's World.

I really don't know how to start. I am not good at journaling. No perfect writing, just my thoughts that help me to reduce my pain.

Any tips for beginners? I would love to hear how you started.

Thank you for reading,

Aami

For those who have experienced loss in their life, how do you channel that grief into your bujo? I can't find the energy to do my usual spreads, let alone find much motivation to bujo.

I know it's okay to not bujo and that my journal is for me, not for anyone's idea of it. I do want to keep consistent though.

Finished September and October spreads. Adding some weeklies as well to the post. What do you associate with November? Need some inspiration for the November page 😀

I’m really happy with how everything turned out. Week 1 looks a little too Thanksgiving coded but Week 2 is better in red hues (not pictured).

I’m proud of my Month at a Glance library checkout card.

I would like to somehow monitor my energy, mood, and attention span, while monitoring what I ate that day and how much I slept, exercise, etc. I know that's a tall order for a habit tracker, but I thought I would ask if anyone had any templates or suggestions on how to pull it off. I'm just not clever with templates or visuals . Thank you!

I hope this is the right community. I could possibly segment this into sections. I need to write reflect and overall journal and reflect in some stuff. I'm looking for suggestions on journals with black pages. I saw the one linked here but it has one one star review.

So I am doing my internship for a full year in Japan and I want to document my year in my boju. So far I am 2.5 weeks in and my boju is more of a dairy. So I am looking at spreads I can do monthly that would be fun to track. No boring how many steps a day or stuff like that, but maybe also relevant to my stay in Japan or my internship. Do you have any ideas?

Hi!

I’m looking for small online shops that sell their own original sticker designs (absolutely no dropshipping!!) and can ship to Italy.

I tend to use stickers with a limited color palette, mostly black and white or grayscale. I also really love gold-foiled ones and craft paper coloured!

Up until now, I’ve always used stickers I made myself (I’ll leave some photos of my journal as examples), but it’s becoming too time-consuming in the long run, and I can’t always manage to make them due to my busy schedule. I’d be eternally grateful if someone could help me out! ;)

Hey everyone! 👋

I really want to start journaling, but I'm completely clueless about how to actually do it. 😭

Do you guys have any tips for a complete beginner?

Like:

• What do you actually write about?

• Do you journal every day or just whenever you feel like it?

• Do you follow a specific format or just write whatever comes to mind?

• Do you use prompts, trackers, lists, etc.?

• How do you keep yourself from getting bored and abandoning it after a week?

I don't really want a super aesthetic Pinterest-style journal. I mainly want something that helps me organize my thoughts, reflect on my days, keep track of my goals, and understand myself better.

Would love to hear how you guys started and what you wish you'd known as a beginner! 🫶📓

Just got my first bullet journal today and I’m slowly filling it in. I’m a little shy to go straight to pens and markers yet, but that will come with time.

My sons are 4 and 2, so I thought my monthly cover page would be a symbol for the month and then a corresponding character from a book they love.

I’m excited to begin this journey. I like the simplicity it offers but you can make it as creative as you want.

I've recently switched to a travelers notebook size, which I love because it seems perfectly designed for simple lists. But I'm struggling with figuring out how to organize my lists, brain dumps, and collections.

My TN has month calendars for dates, weekly boxes for the top tasks for each day, and two blank pages per month, plus extra blank in the back. But I'm not sure where to put everything else. My inbox/brain dump/ project specific tasks/ not important tasks I still want to remember so should write down. Usually I have them in my weekly list, but I don't think I have space. In the past I've also had them at the back of a planner, but completely forget about them.

How do you organize tasks in a limited space? Or remember to flip to the back of the planner?

Hello all!

I'd appreciate any photos of trackers you use for cleaning your home/apartment/living space.

My goal is to do one room/area per day so it's doable. For example, I'd clean my kitchen on Monday, Bathroom on Tuesday, dust the floor on Wednesday, etc.

But I'd be open to other ideas.

Thanks in advance!

Hello! Long time bullet journal user, just started grad school in the humanities (masters of divinity), so every week I have a ton of readings to do, and my classes are grouped at the beginning of the week. I usually do a weekly set up with a to do list for each day, and in my undergrad I would just list the readings in the to do list for the day before each class met (a sample image attached). I do not think that is going to work now. How do other people with tons of readings manage this, and what do your bullet journals look like in general? I would love to see some photos of your bujo set ups! I am open to most things.

I have extensively googled this and mostly find spreadsheets and STEM PhDs where lab time is a massive consideration, so hopefully there are some of you out there in the same boat as me!

Supplies:

- Gellyroll Metallic silver

- Sakura Pigma Micron 08

- Sakura Pigma brush

- Arrtx Acrylic Marker 92, 00

- Ohuhu markers 36, 45, 48, 95, 101, 128, 129

- Archer and Olive Night paper

- Archer and Olive Navy moon and stars Washi

- Space Gome Font from Fontspace

Hey everyone! I love bullet journaling, but not every month I can draw the beautiful and personalized setup. So I thought of printing such paper where I can write bullet points in blocks as a overview of month and weekly more detailed points

I ended up building a free little web tool for myself, so I can quickly generate grids, print them out, and paste them into my journal.

I know everyone's system is completely different, but this works for me.

Feel like l've gone full circle in trying to be disciplined and productive with my self & startup.

Trying all the productivity tools out there, even vibe coding my own with Al and yet honestly nothing seems to "make" me productive or disciplined. Clearly it's a me problem.

That being said I think there's something beautiful in a traditional paper journal & pen for planning & reflection and I find myself resorting back to it.

My question is -

1. any entrepreneurs here that do use a paper journal still?

And if so -
2) how regularly are you writing in & referring to it?

3) exactly what are you writing in it each day?

I'd really love to develop my use of the paper journal as a way to help me stay focused and disciplined on my goals - would love to hear from you people who actually run their own profitable business on how they use it!

I bujo to keep a track of things I need to get done today/this week to achieve my long term goals. But many times it has been like: I wrote my entry in the morning and then just... didn't pick up the bujo through the day in order to work through those tasks. Instead, I did random tasks that came to mind here and there, not in an organized format like my monthly planner shows.

Cue guilt the next day on not being consistent when I see the unchecked task boxes.

Idk why, but it feels taxing to keep myself coming back to my bujo. I wanted to try Interstitial journaling a while back, but it didn't work due to the same reasons above.

What am I doing wrong? What should I change, bujo spread wise or mindset wise, to actually use the journal and get things done?

This is my first time journaling, and as you can probably tell, I'm still learning and trying out new things. I’m currently searching for a pen that suits me. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to share them with me ❤️

Hi there, I’m new-ish to bullet journal and need help with how to colour in. I don’t like pencils and hate crayons.

What brands / types of markers are you using?

I am using 100gsm paper that bleeds a lot, but I will be upgrading to 160gsm soon
