Bullet journals provide a fun way to organize thoughts, tasks, and goals.
Not only can journaling track your progress towards fulfilling your objectives, but it can also help preserve precious memories and highlights for the day. Putting ideas and thoughts on paper can boost awareness so you can achieve your plans. That’s precisely why bujo (bllet journal) enthusiasts have created spreads to track bills, monitor health goals, jot down tasks, and remember their bucket list.
Bullet journals are also highly customizable. Enthusiasts love to spice up their pages with creative layouts, photos, and designs that showcase their personality and favorite.
How can you make your bullet journal shine? Take a look at these inspirational ideas you can try to keep your creative juices flowing.

Late-night procrastinators and aspiring early risers should try out this bujo idea to get their much-needed beauty sleep.
Decrease screentime
Less screentime means more moments spent on family, hustles, and mental breaks. Rather than resisting the urge to grab your phone (and failing), make a spread to track time spent on the phone.

When life gets hard, these pages will bring you back to the wonderful memories and souvenirs you gained during your short trip.
Make a reading list
Books can transport you to faraway kingdoms and fantasy worlds. Yet, sometimes we lose track of book release dates and trilogies we’re longing to read. So, list down your next reads or audiobooks on this spread by Julia to guarantee you’ll devour thrilling stories you’ve wanted.
Create a desktop to-do list
There are numerous spreads for to-do lists and planners, yet this weekly spread from Claire stands out from the pack. True to the Apple desktop theme, the illustration is cluttered with icons, notes, and a Gmail inbox. It’s the most relatable planner for people who relentlessly open tons of tabs in real-life.
