Have you heard about Bullet Journals?

They're the latest craze on the internet, well a recent craze anyway. Just do an search using the words 'bullet journal' and you'll see what I mean.

The Bullet Journal Method was invented by Ryder Carrol and his original design is an alternate journalling system that went far beyond simple organisation. If you are interested in learning more about the Bullet Journal Method you can find lots of information on the Bullet Journal Website

Since it's inception, there are some very creative and dedicated people who've taken the original idea and turned it into an art form. They have effectively amalgamated Ryder's idea with a diary, calendar, shopping lists, to-do lists and all sorts of journals (such as art, writing and travel journals) into one great big creative representation of their year.

Not only can you utilise the journal for all your planning and organising throughout the year, by archiving the journals year after year, they collectively become a valuable treasure-trove of memories and a pretty accurate, first-hand record of your life.

When I came across the system in 2015, I was going through some (pretty heavy) life stuff and looking for creative ways to work through some of my (pointless) emotions - and that is exactly what I found in Bullet Journalling.

Being the last day of the year, I'll be starting a brand new notebook tomorrow so I wanted to share some of my favourite pages from 2018. Unfortunately, I'm not as talented as the people I see online so I like to keep my pages fairly basic BUT this is what I love about using the bullet journal method, I can make my page-layouts as intricate or as simple as I like.

One feature of bullet journals that I really love is having the ability to set out my own dates, so no more bulk empty sections in my diaries... I can literally miss a whole month or more if I have to and whenever I'm ready to journal again, I can just resume from where I left off, starting on the next blank page (or spread).
