There’s nothing like a fresh new notebook for a shiny new year. While I use up the best bullet journals at varying speeds depending on what the pace of my life is, I love cracking the spine of a fresh one for the new year. I do this for the new school year, too. Setting up my own spreads feels meditative for me. Plus, this gives me a great time to reflect on the previous year by thumbing through my old journals.
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I had been bullet journaling for years before this, but getting an official diagnosis rocketed my bullet journaling habit way up. I was too precious about it before. Thinking I didn’t doodle enough or that I had bought such a fancy notebook that I couldn’t “waste” pages. Since my diagnosis, and since reading The Bullet Journal Method, I’ve killed my darlings, as Faulkner says. Now I use it as a tool to be utilized and help my brain and my day to day life. That said, have I started watching YouTube doodling videos and taken a class on hand lettering? Yes. Yes, I have.
Don’t be like me and get stuck before you even start. To make it a little bit easier, I’ve rounded up some of the best bullet journals out there. This could be for you or your favorite journaler. That person who is always buying and trying new notebooks or who is constantly doodling in the margins of the handouts during a meeting.
