Start planning! Here’s where I share my love of pretty & functional planning spreads, and my bullet journal. Planning is how I broke out of a 12-year creative rut, and I’m never going back to those dark ages.
I love to share how I use my bullet journal to keep me organized and find joy and creativity every single day. I’ll use my bullet journal to show you examples, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use them in your own planner (whether you bullet journal or not).
Use these ideas and the others you find to inspire you and create and organize yourself in your own way. By the way, I love creating Plan With Me videos to walk you through my pages. Subscribe to my channel on YouTube here!

What is a Bullet Journal?
Bullet Journal (or BuJo) is a term coined by Ryder Carroll, though, the concept has been around for a long time. For instance, Leonardo DaVinci kept books and records of his inventions and thoughts. Italian poet, Giacomo Leopardi, wrote original ideas and a veritable “hodge-podge” of information in his notebook known as the Zibaldone. However, Ryder made it more accessible in recent times.
I am not a bullet journal purist. Very few, if any of my notebook spreads align with the original concept of bullet journal. For instance, I thoroughly enjoy painting, creating, handlettering, and a myriad of other artistic aspects of creative journaling.
In addition to the creative side of my planner, I also enjoy keeping track of my day-to-day tasks, appointments, and thoughts. There’s my disclaimer, so you know what you’ll find here without any surprises.
