Starting a Bullet Journal ...

Well my tips on how I started.

So I got a comment underneath my post asking for advice on how to start a bullet journal and what supplies to get. There’s a couple of other bujo-ers (is that even right?) who have mentioned their tips but here’s mine.

I unfortunately found out about bujos when I was getting ready to graduate but it still helps me productively and creatively. Now like everyone tells you .. you don’t need fancy materials to start bullet journaling unless you want to. Bullet journaling is to keep you productive and on task. Okay here’s my tips hope they’ll help! (& omgosh sorry it’s so long!)

Find inspiration : look at others bujos for inspo.

I started April 2018. I searched #bulletjournal on Instagram and tumblr to see how everyone was doing their journal. I even looked it up on YouTube and found Amanda Rach Lee which really helped me start. From there I would practice calligraphy in class and my friends would give me words to write down (pay attention in class don’t be me lol). If you look at my journal you’ll see I don’t really do calligraphy because I like the way I write my headings and all as a regular handwriting type. I’d also test practicing drawing banners, weekday titles, and others until I figured out what I wanted.

Figure out what format you like

Everyone has different ways to format their weeklies and monthlies. I talk about these later on but I usually do one page of my week and the other page is an overview. When I started, I put the weekdays on both pages and added little things like a full week overview at top. Some make rectangles of each weekday on both pages. You really need to try different ones to find out what you like. I say start simple and add on as time goes to see what it is you truly like. I found my way as time went on and I still look at inspos.

Supplies

Here’s what I got when I started:

- a muji a5 dotted notebook

- muji washi tapes (the red set with the polka dots and the neutral set with gray, brown, and red tape)

- crayola super tip markers

- a muji 0.7 blue pen (my favorite)

- Tombow black pens for calligraphy on amazon (thick and thin)

Yeah ... a lot of muji but they’re not that expensive. As time went on I got other supplies but as a start, all you need is a book you want to start in. It can be lined, grid, or dotted and it doesn’t need to be from muji. Some people have midori or moleskine but there’s a bunch of others especially on amazon. I personally like dotted but for my personal journaling I tried grid and it was pretty nice. Any markers work and so does any pen. If you want to do calligraphy I suggest the Tombow pens but you can also fake calligraphy with a regular pen by making down strokes thicker.

Simple points of journals and pages

Here’s what’s in most people’s journals. Again you don’t need to follow them.

- a key: task, completed, next time, cancelled, events, etc. Mine is a empty circle, filled circle, circle with an arrow, crossed out, and a triangle in that order. For birthdays mine is a cake with a candle. Yours can be anything.

- some people do a year overview in the beginning of the book

- a month’s cover (this year I do this with the number and a quote) simple or themed again up to you

- monthly calendar (can be full two pages, a half a page with monthly goals ... I add monthly victories, monthly horoscope, and a gratitude circle)

-weeklies (mon-sun or sun-mon which ever way you like. Some people add trackers, a weekly overview, quotes, etc. It’s really up to you)

- tracker as a page or in your weeklies or both really (I don’t do trackers because I find they don’t help me 😅 I track on my phone) if you want to track your habits you can make one. Some track water intake, spending and budgeting, exercise, mood, etc.

Making your journal “pretty or aesthetic” (it’s probably the reason you feel you don’t know how to start)

You don’t need to make your journal pretty or aestheticly pleasing. You really don’t. But it’s probably what you want yours to look like or the reason you feel you don’t know how to start. I can’t tell you how to do that but if it helps ....

I say start with a theme — Most journals either have a theme for the month or they go with their own flow. When I started I did clouds .. regular puffy clouds and added them in different ways around the journal. Now I go with a palette and if a theme pops up for me with that color, I use it.

Get 3 colors in markers. A highlight, a main and accent color. These can change around (your highlight can be a main and your main can be an accent, etc.) but this will help you keep a “vibe” going.

Fill space. You also probably think you need to know how to draw. Not true. There’s many ways to fill space. I make “scratchy try to be contour drawings” sometimes lol. It’s your journal make it how you want it. But seeing that you want yours to look “aesthetic” use the two points above and doodle little things around your weeklies. Oh! or you can get stickers if you don’t want to draw. They really help fill space. Or you can use your washi tapes. You don’t have to draw all the time. That’s only if you feel it’s to bland or empty

Now if you’re asking how to start a “studyblr” mines is not really a studyblr more of a productiveblr and if that’s not a thing well mine is lol. Just start. Take pictures of your book in a style you want and post it. Hashtag them with hashtags like studyblr, studygram, studyspo, bujospo things that go with what your posting and people will gravitate to your blog .. it takes time of course.

——

I really hope that answered what you asked for and I hope it helps anyone else who’s wondering how to start. You can look at others for how to start. There’s @eintsein @hannybstudies @studylustre @studyquill @stillstudies and much more that can also help. I believe some of them are also still in school if that’s something you’re looking for too. 🙋🏾‍♀️

Writing with Twitter:

Me and my relationship with Twitter? Yeah it’s here and there.

Sometimes, I do like to make use of it and reach as much of a broad audience as I can, but other times, I feel that if I had a consistent and solid enough fanbase I would want to keep everything central, as I feel that having a consistent node for relaying content keeps the topic theme prominent throughout, and seeks to help the user become more immersed in the platform and the content that I publish. Personally as well, I feel like my style would not be cramped in the world of Tumblr, where I have endless options to be able to enrich my content, discuss my ideas and communicate with other fans and readers.

However, in the 21st century, if one wants to become successful with their content, Twitter can be a fantastic way of reaching a broader audience. I decided to use it with this web presence just so I could explore more of Twitter, it’s tools and it’s features.

I realised quite quickly that relative hashtags could include tags such as #blackmirror, #tv or #netflix, with a bunch of many other hashtags that can also be used out there.

Throughout my journey of using Twitter, I decided to retweet various tweets I felt I agreed with, resonated with or seen as being appropriate to share to my other fans. I also saw these retweets as a way to gain traction for a Twitter audience. My first retweet was of a picture from the episode ‘Fifteen Million Merits’, which was one of my personal favourite episodes from the entire show, so I felt I had to share a still image from the episode that I found quite aesthetically pleasing. My next retweet was one that was a little less meaningful, where I retweeted a tweet that asked for fans of Black Mirror and other cultural interests to share. This was the type of retweet, I felt, that really just helped to build up the social presence, rather than add any real substance.

For a couple of my Tumblr blog posts, I decided to share them as retweets on my twitter page. I shared my narration of personal interests and also shared my introduction into my topic, as I felt that these posts were the most suitable to be shared by me on Twitter, and would hopefully hook the reader into wanting more. One thing to note is that I decided against using hashtags in these instances, partly because I felt it would be too ‘gaudy’ and ‘forced’ for the appearance.
