You’ve seen those beautiful bullet journal spreads online – the neat layouts, colorful trackers, and artistic doodles. But where do you begin? Here’s the good news: you don’t need expensive bullet journal supplies or perfect handwriting to start.
Let’s break down exactly what you need to begin bullet journaling simply and stress-free.
1. The Right Journal Notebook Makes All the Difference
Your journal notebook is your foundation. Look for:
- Dotted pages – The perfect middle ground between blank and lined
- A5 size (about 6×8 inches) – Fits in bags but has enough space
- Thick paper (120-130gsm) – Prevents ink bleeding through
- Practical features like rounded corners and a back pocket
Our Aimzfolio journals include all these features, some of Pakistan’s best bullet journal supplies, combining functionality with that aesthetic journal look you’ve seen online. Find yours at aimzfolio.com.
2. A Reliable Pen (Or Two)
Start simple:
- 1-2 black pens (0.3–0.5mm tip works best)
- Don’t worry about fancy calligraphy pens, but a nice aesthetic pen can make writing more enjoyable.
3. Something Straight for Clean Lines
You don’t need fancy tools – try:
- A small plastic ruler
- An old gift card
- Even the edge of your phone
4. A Couple of Highlighters or Mildliners
Add some color without going overboard:
- 1 light highlighter
- 1 colored pen
Choose colors you’ll use and that match your aesthetic journal vibe.
5. Add a Personal Touch With Aesthetic Stickers
A few well-placed aesthetic stickers can make your bullet journal pages pop without much effort. Use them to:
- Mark important dates or events
- Decorate habit trackers
- Add motivational quotes or icons
They’re a quick way to bring personality to your layouts and make your journal something you look forward to opening every day.
6. The Mental Health Benefits
Using a bullet journal and mental health go hand-in-hand. Your daily notebook journal can help:
- Reduce anxiety by organizing thoughts
- Improve focus through task tracking
- Boost mood with creative expression
7. Pencil & Eraser for Planning
Helpful when you’re starting:
- Sketch layouts lightly first
- Helps with spacing and design
Remember – perfection isn’t the goal.
8. Start With Just 10 Minutes
The best bullet journal supplies won’t help if you don’t use them. Try:
- Quick daily check-ins
- Simple habit tracking
- Basic weekly spreads
Final Thought: Quality Over Quantity
You only need:
- One good journal notebook
- A couple of basic pens
- Consistency in your daily notebook journal practice
