bullet journals

DIY organizational notebooks

A bullet journal is a customizable organizational system using a blank notebook, combining elements of a planner, diary, and to-do list.

Users create their own layouts with rapid logging—short entries marked by bullets, dashes, or symbols to indicate tasks, events, and notes.

The method emphasizes handwriting and personal design: I track my habits in my bullet journal.

Often shortened to bujo.
