How to Create Your Own Bullet Journal

Do you experience the frustrating feeling that your ideas and tasks along with thoughts exist scattered everywhere? A bullet journal (BuJo) creates an ideal solution for staying organized through creative freedom. This tool goes beyond scheduling since it serves as an arena for developing goals and maintaining routines plus drawing artistic elements together with identifying personal creativity. And the best part? It exists precisely the way you dream and envision it.

Step 1: Pick Your Journal

First things first—choose a notebook that works for you. Look for dot-grid pages (great for structure but still flexible), thick paper (so your paints and pens don’t bleed through), and a size that fits your lifestyle. Whether you want a pocket-sized BuJo or a big creative space, go with what feels right.

Step 2: Grab Your Supplies

A bullet journal is all about customization, and with the right tools, you can make it both functional and beautiful. Here’s what you’ll need:

• A fine-tip pen – For neat writing and lists
• Drawlish Paint Pens – Perfect for colorful doodles and bold lettering
• Drawlish Acrylic Paints – Add vibrant backgrounds or artistic spreads
• A ruler or stencils – Keep things clean and organized
• Stickers & washi tape – Because a little extra flair never hurts

Step 3: Set Up the Basics

Before you jump into daily planning, set up a few key pages to keep your journal organized:

1. Index – Think of this as your table of contents so you can easily find things.
2. Future Log – A big-picture overview of upcoming months and events.
3. Monthly Spread – A calendar layout for tracking tasks, deadlines, and goals.
4. Weekly & Daily Logs – Your to-do lists, reflections, and daily plans.
5. Habit & Mood Trackers – Want to track workouts, water intake, or moods? This page keeps you accountable.

Step 4: Get Creative with Paint & Pens

This is where your bullet journal becomes uniquely yours! Don’t be afraid to play with colors, textures, and artistic elements.

1. Use Drawlish Acrylic Paints for backgrounds, borders, or even abstract themes. Soft pastels create a dreamy look, while bold colors add energy.
2. Drawlish Paint Pens are amazing for lettering, headings, and intricate doodles. They glide on smoothly, making your pages stand out!
3. Color-code your sections to keep things visually organized—use blues for work, greens for personal, pinks for creativity, etc.

Pro Tip: Try a painted vision board page or a watercolor-style mood tracker for an artsy touch!

Step 5: Make It a Daily Habit

The key to a great bullet journal? Use it consistently! Spend a few minutes each day updating your spreads, checking tasks, and adding creative details. The more personal it is, the more fun it becomes.

Not feeling inspired? Try adding quotes, sketches, or even mini gratitude logs. It’s YOUR journal—make it something you love to open every day!
