One of my favorite things to add to my bullet journal are quotes that inspire me. I’ve put together a little collection of my favorite quotes that work well for bullet journaling or just for everyday motivation. I hope you find some on this list that speak to you, and if you have a favorite quote, I’d love to know what it is. Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. – Og Mandino What you do today can improve all your tomorrows. – Ralph Marston Very little is needed to make a happy life; it…

One of the reasons bullet journaling is such a great system, is it gives you the ability to customize and change your journaling style at any time to fit your current needs. While this is a huge plus if your schedule is always changing or you get bored easily, trying new things can lead to mistakes. For us perfectionists, it can be a bit nerve racking, at times even paralyzing, to do something untested with no assurance the outcome will be as expected. This is where my practice journal comes in.

Towards the end of last year I started a new job. After months of developing my bullet journal skills for my personal life, I couldn’t imagine trying to switch back to a regular day planner for work.

I took a risk, spending $20 on a Leuchtturm1917 A5 Dotted Hardcover notebook, which really wasn’t any more or less than I would have spent on a regular planner, and decided to give this interesting system a try.

Bullet Journaling is great because it gives you the flexibility to truly make your planner your own. So many things can be added to a journal other than your standard daily task tracking entries.

Is there something here that you are interested in trying out in your bullet journal? Do you have any ideas that you would add to this list? I’d love to know!
