What is a Bullet Journal and should you start one?
Have you seen your friends’ bullet journal ideas and examples? If you haven’t heard about bullet journal (or #bujo, for short), you have probably just landed here from Mars or Venus.
As a matter of fact, the bullet journal trend has been around for a while. Perhaps, you may be wondering if you really need to dive into the bullet journaling world now.

To put it simply, you may need to try bullet journaling if you:
- have a lot of creative ideas that you need to organize and visualize;
- have a really busy life and a long to-do-list (a.k.a. mom);
- want to put your budget and monthly spending under control;
- really enjoy scrapbooking, stationary, pens, lettering, doodling, and calligraphy;
Most importantly, look into bullet journaling if you want to:
- want to become more organized;
- want to take your organization skills and planning to a new level;
- are a DIY crafter, crochet, or knitting aficionado who wants to keep track of patterns and projects;
- want to try goal-setting and habit-tracking to improve your business or blogging skills;
- just want to try something new (always a good idea).
Does this sound like something you would like to try and need some inspiration? In summary, we have compiled an inspiring collection of fall bullet journal page ideas and examples from Instagram.

What is the bullet journal system and how to use it?
First of all, Bullet Journal is an organizational system that helps you keep track of everything in your busy life. In short, it is sort of a life hack – an organized visual board that helps you keep track of everything: business meetings, goals, books to read, places to visit, and projects to try.
Most importantly, it may help you with meal planning and shopping lists while adding a little bit of creative and artistic flair.
Consequently, a bullet journal can be your organizer, planner, sketchbook, or diary but for most, it is all of the above and so much more.
Noteworthy, it is YOUR bullet journal so you can decide how it looks and what you want to keep track of. It can be as unique and creative as you are.
Finally, a little bit of trivia:
Who created the first bullet journal?
Ryder Carroll, a Brooklyn-based product designer, is credited for inventing the bullet journal system. A lot of resources and inspirational bullet journal page ideas are free, but you can still buy an original bullet journal that Mr. Carroll designed in partnership with notebook maker Leuchtturm1917. There is also a bullet journal mobile app.
