Bullet Journal

Bullet journaling in a traveler's notebook setup // www.prettyprintsandpaper.com

I’ve always been  planner person – and have tried them ALL.  I just never stuck to them for very long; a few months into the system and I would inevitably discover that it didn’t suit my ever-changing needs. In a mode of experimentation, I had tried the bullet journal before, but it wasn’t until last year where I really took the liberty of making my own, and it was at that point that it stuck.  I’ve been using the system ever since, tinkering with it as I go.  Hopefully this will inspire you to find a system that works for you and helps you cultivate an intentional life!
