Bullet journal

A bullet journal (sometimes known as a BuJo) is a method of personal organization developed by digital product designer Ryder Carroll.

[1][2] The bullet journal system organizes scheduling, reminders, to-do lists, brainstorming, and other organizational tasks into a single notebook.

[4] First shared with the public in 2013, it has become a popular organization method, garnering significant attention on Kickstarter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest.

[2] Users who focus on the creative element may use a variety of supplies, including a ruler, colored pens, markers, pencils, stickers, stencils, washi tape, etc.

Proponents describe the bullet journal as both an effective planning method and a "creative outlet" with a focus on "simplicity and clarity.

Closely related are Studygrams, which are Instagram accounts dedicated to studying and taking effective, organized, and aesthetically pleasing notes.

Recording information over time in one place, it can lead to insights into users' moods, habits, mental health triggers, and more.

It attracted attention on social media, earning $80,000 in Kickstarter funding to create a centralized online community of users.

[23] Since the introduction of bullet journaling, its growing popularity has contributed to an increase in sales of traditional stationery products, such as notebooks, pens, etc.
