BULLET JOURNAL LIST IDEAS AND EXAMPLES

Here are my favorite lists to put in my journal. I use my bullet journal daily to make little to-do lists, gratitude logs and calendar or weekly schedules.

If I’m not blogging, I’m bulleting. My bujo is my external hard drive for my brain. There is no way I can keep track of everything I need to do if I didn’t write it down in lists in my gorgeous notebook.

Bullet journaling has become an increasingly popular method of time management and record keeping.  Mommies have a lot to keep track of including school schedules, home maintenance, shopping lists, gift giving, health matters and fitness goals, budgeting, and so much more.  

WHAT IS BULLET JOURNALING?

Bullet journaling is a simple yet sophisticated method of task management. You do not need lots of fancy supplies.

Instead of elaborate online tools, apps or products, the simplified bullet journal becomes your one solution to manage to-do lists.

It was developed by Ryder who lives in Brooklyn, New York. He struggled to focus when he was younger, and over time, he developed the bullet journal method. It sounds perfect for anyone who struggles to focus or has a lot of moving parts in their lives, including super busy mommies.

WHAT ARE THE BEST BULLET JOURNAL SUPPLIES?

To get started you’ll need all you need is a notebook with dots and a fabulous pen.  Since bullet journals can be difficult to find in stores, I recommend checking them out on Amazon.  Seriously, what doesn’t Amazon have, plus it’s delivered straight to your door. It’s easy peasy!
