Supplies Needed for Bullet Journaling
The bullet journal is a completely customizable system for organizing your daily thoughts, planning out your to-do list, sorting through a variety of upcoming tasks, and setting goals for the future. It marries a traditional day planner with a diary, notebook and sketchbook. The idea behind the bullet journal came from the notion that traditional planning and journal writing take time. The more time, energy and effort expended on the planning and writing, the greater the chance the task will be viewed as a mundane chore instead of an uplifting and motivating experience. By investing the initial time to create a one-of-a-kind bullet journal, you are able to rapid-log entries and enjoy the process of simplification. To create a bullet journal, there are some basic supplies you will initially need and more elaborate items you can pick up along the way.
According to an email I received on 10/31/2022, there is a picture is of a woman standing by a lake and wearing their boots, somewhere on this page, and I have not deleted or changed any pic, and had not even revisted this post before reading their email at 8am today, and they want credit for it. I did not take this pic from their site, as I have never even heard of this site. It came from pixabay. All images I use or from those sites that state commercial use rights okay to use. It’s a blog post, about bullet journaling, nothing to do with boots. But if I must, here you go

The basics
For beginners, you don’t need to worry about the type of journal or notebook you get. It is not uncommon to eventually upgrade to a different type of book when you get a handle on bullet journaling and have
more ideas. For now, look around and find something that feels right.
Keep in mind your budget, since you have more supplies to buy. Don’t spend nearly your entire journaling budget on the journal itself. Starting with a basic notebook is absolutely fine! Some of your options might include:
Spiral notebook
Soft or hardcover journal
Journal specifically made for bullet journaling
Planner converted into a bullet journal
One thing that is good to make note of when you buy the bullet journal is looking at the size and the types of pages. You might be using different types of pens and embellishments, so something with thicker pages is typically better. Also try to choose a journal that has at least some completely blank pages without lines so they don’t get in the way of sketches and calendars you create in the journal.
Don’t Forget the Writing Utensils!
It is good to have colored pens when you are writing different sections or grids on a page, in order to organize them properly.
The only other item you will need to get started is a pen. You can get creative later by using colored pencils, fine-tipped markers and even calligraphy pens. The trick to being successful when creating a bullet journal is to start slow as you learn the process and interpret it in your own way. If you make things complicated by purchasing too many supplies initially, you may burn yourself out and never even see the creation come to fruition.
Beyond the Basics
Once you have a basic understanding of bullet journaling and want to get more creative, a ruler and some correction tape become the next essentials you may want to have on hand. A flexible and transparent ruler makes it easy to create boxes and lines. You will want to pick up one that is long enough to span the complete length of your bullet journal when it is fully opened. Correction tape is essential for anyone new to the world of bullet journaling. You may go through several different adaptations and stages as you plan the perfect bullet journal for your lifestyle, and corrective tape will quickly become your new best friend.

Customize It: Make It Your Own Once you have the basic layout and understanding, you can let your creative spirit free by customizing your journal in any way you desire. A lot of people utilize page tabs in their journals for quick referencing and locating. Some people prefer to use Washi tape to mark their pages; it comes in a huge variety of colors and patterns and is both easy and fun to use. Washi tape is a paper or tissue-based crafter’s tape with an adhesive back that is very pliable and perfect for bullet journaling. It can be used to create page markers and fill in empty spaces in your journal. Another alternative page marker is the basic binder clip; it adds an architectural look to a bullet journal.
The Finishing Touches
Fun little touches like metallic star stickers, stencils and stamps give your journal personality and will invoke the feeling of happiness as you flip through the pages. You can notate and mark special circumstances and upcoming events with coded stickers to serve as personal reminders. Highlighters are another great tool for marking important events. You will quickly locate and identify an important upcoming event when you use a color-coded highlighting system in your journal.
Whether you choose to start a bullet journal for the simplification aspect, the organizational need or the creative desire, the finished product will keep you inspired and motivated for the entire year. You will love reflecting on the experiences and highlighted moments you have had over the past year. You can marvel at your triumphs once more as you re-read through your journal. You will also be able to pinpoint areas that may need a little more of your attention in the coming months. When you take the time to create a journal that reflects your individual style and needs, writing and doodling will become the high point of your day!

I received an email today from a trademark saying I copied someones picture of a woman standing by a lake and wearing boots that is part of their business. I see no woman wearing boots anywhere. They say I need to give credit to their client and will do so, even though, there is no image of a woman wearing boots at a lake.
