After bullet journaling for a while …

… it’s time to ask myself: how is it going?

Coming from a normal planner that offered pre-organised pages it was a big change for me to switch to a bullet journal. My biggest fear was if I could deal with setting up pages every week and every month. In fact I have to sax: yes it works. The future log is the spread that helps a lot. Its a normal calendar spread in my bullet journal where I add every appointment.

And then, usually around wednesday I set up a new week. I love being creative once a week at least! Its a relaxing hobby to have and if you take a cup of coffee next to you, bulletjounraling turns into a self care afternoon!

While being active in the bulletjournaling community I found out that there are different kinds of bullet journalers out there. I have a friend that sets up her journal for almost half a year already. She knows exactly that she’ll only be using weekly spreads and so she turns her bullet journal almost in some kind of “colorful planner”.

Instead I still enjoy the freedom that a bullet journal offers to me. Next to a weekly page comes a notepage where I add all the information from todays meeting or a page where I write down a task list. Or I get a little bit more creative and do a mood board or a quote page – whatever my creative mind feels like doing.

So – do I keep going?

Yes I will stick with bullet journaling.
