My 2023 Bullet Journal & Notebook Setup
Another year is over and I thought this would be the perfect time to share my bullet journal set-up for 2023. The way I use my bullet journal hasn’t changed much over the last 12 months. I’m still using the same notebook as 2022 (fingers crossed I can fit the whole year in the 150 pages I have left. But I like seeing these posts so I thought I would share mine. Lessons from my 2022 bullet journal 2020-2021 was a weird time for me. I graduated from university and I didn’t realise just how much that would change the way I used my bullet journal.

How To Set Up A Minimal Bullet Journal & Spread Ideas
I think it wouldn’t be too dramatic to say I’d be lost without my bullet journal. It’s the thing which keeps me on track and reminds me where and what I’m supposed to be doing on any given day.

But the way my bullet journal works best for me is when I prioritise function over creativity. I love my minimal bullet journal, and in a world of perfectly created bullet journal pages.

My 2022 Bullet Journal Set Up & Planning System
I seem to mention this in every post I write but I graduated from university in 2021 and this has caused several changes in my life. I’ve mentioned this enough already but did you know I own an Etsy store now. Okay, in all seriousness I went through a love-hate relationship with my bullet journal last year and because of that, I’ve made some changes to how I use my bullet journal. All this to say, today I’m going to share how I’ve set up my bullet journal (and other planning systems) for 2022. I know that my website is called the Paper Kind which gives the idea that I’m…

Bullet Journal or Planner: Which Is Best?
Today I want to talk about a topic I spend a lot of time thinking about. Which is best: bullet journal or planner? It’s a bit more complicated than you may think. It’s hard to say for definite which one is better, especially when every bullet journal or planner is different and the way they are used is unique to the owner. So today I thought I would share what I like and dislike about the bullet journal system and paper planners. Even if we don’t figure out a winner I’m hoping you will be able to figure out which type of planning system you may prefer. I think its…
