Practical & Useful Ways to Bullet Journal

Here at Finders Keepers, we are having a bit of a love affair with Bullet Journaling. (If you are new to this really cool, listing kind of planning, check it out here. ) And, as anyone who has searched for Bullet Journals on Pinterest can attest, bullet journaling can be incredibly beautiful, as well as practical.

It all begins with a notebook of some kind. (We love this Moleskine with the dot grid and this Traveller’s Notebook in particular, but any old notebook will do.) The first few pages are taken up with an index, but the pages that follow can literally be anything you need them to be.

(We have offered lots of visual inspiration below, and have done our best to credit our sources. Sometimes, as you may have noticed, orphan pictures drift around on the Interwebs.)

There are very practical, time management types of layouts, like:
