Your suggestion is right just start!! When I was new to bullet journaling I was nervous to do something wrong BUT the best part about the bullet journal system is it is unique to you and change as you do 🥰🥰 Love the videos!!

After a year of trying different things, I am using a binder as a bullet journal. With a binder I can do what I want without being stuck to a notebook.

I make my yearly spread a page I can pull out and washi tape into the second journal.

I started my first bullet journal in march last year, right when covid hit and my school went into homeschooling. Back then I didn't have the system that works for me now so it was very messy but it certainly helped to start it when I needed it and not new years in the middle of the holidays.

I add a summary page of year long goals, so that I can do end of year reflection without having to go get the old journal too. I re-write the goals (a great chance to reevaluate as needed!) and also also a summary of totals (number of books read, changes in step tracking etc).

[Zahrah.M]

My advice is definitely to start setting up the journal sooner rather than later -- doing it slowly makes it less intimidating. So thinking about the spreads you want to use, then materials, then sketching it out, then inking/etc. Filling it in with any previous information can come in last

[arikajensen]

I actually love those ideas! Their helpful in my opinion. Bullet journals are too expensive for me so I make my own out of paper, tape and my creative mind. I added in a new tracker which is weather. I live in a state where tornadoes are active and weather changes daily. So it messes with my mind. I track it to know what makes me feel weird. I also do a coffee tracker. (I drink way too much coffee!) I just create spreads that work for me and that will last a long time. I have mine from 4 years ago and it still looks like it was made this year.

Since I only plan my goals 12 weeks at a time, I like the idea of not doing year long trackers or spreads. I rarely stick to them anyway, so it would be less demotivating. Thanks for all the great ideas!

to keep tracking from one journal to the other, you can give a name to your bujo and write a reference in the new page to link to the last one ( for ex : on a new reading log page you can write BUJO2021A, P56 so you can go back to the last reading log page you wrote if needed, and at the end of the page, u can write the reference for the next page so that you build a thread for this king of pages).

I’m currently needing to do a second future log ect in the middle of my journal cos I’ve been using a lot less pages and so my future log wasn’t long enough. I think I’m going to washi tape the edge of the page to make finding it easier.

[aliviakinkin]

Personally i would recommend starting whenever, if it is in the first half of the year (Jan-Jun) do it and then no matter what start a new one after June for July-December. And if you start a bullet journal in the second half of the year (Jul-Dec) do it and no matter what start a new one after December for January

[mumudolce]

Thanks for the suggestions! I have my first journal on the way...excited to try out bullet journaling! I’m done with dealing with ring bound or spiral systems and I’m looking forward to the flexibility.

[sydneesheriff]

Any tips to keep track of productivity

[maddiviner]

I’ve NEVER waited for January! Mine are rolling, I guess.

[niffysyazzie]

What do you do with the remaining pages of your current bullet journal if you haven’t finished it but want to start a new one for the second half of the year? I hope that makes sense.

[karenleaney]

Excellent ideas, tips and suggestions as always. Thenk you ❤ But the question i need help with is A5 or B5 ?🤔🤔🤔🤔

[gokulpt]

Thank you so much for recomending
Some cool ideaa

[melanied]

I can't decide if i want to jump now or July, June would fit and could even squeeze in all of July if I had to.

[wendybird.]

I left a few empty pages in my last journal and am starting one from my birthday to my next birthday. A new year for me.
