If you’ve never heard of bullet journaling, you are about to see it everywhere this year!
What is bullet journaling?
It’s a notebook-style of planning, journaling, and organizing. People are loving this because it’s a very simple, forgiving way of keeping track of everything your heart desires!
The most common bullet journals usually have sheets of paper filled with mini dots, graphs, triangles and other geometrical shapes to keep your writing/sketching in line.
The issue I was having though is that I LOVE my planner and I LOVE the concept of bullet journaling. Then I had this idea to combine both of them by creating my own printables!
This month the Michaels Maker’s challenge was all about having a “Fresh Start” for 2017! So today I’m sharing my printables with all of you to give you that push to organize, plan, and be creative with a journal/planner!
There are so many awesome planner systems out there, but my choice of planner is The Happy Planner.
I love how easily the pages are to remove and how the squares are large enough to fit all of my daily tasks, thoughts, etc.!
You can see previous posts about my love for planners on Michael’s blog where my cousin and I shared DIY Planner Accessories and also see this trend alert post!
Okay, onto the printables…
…my most used pages are these plain dot and graph paper versions! I created the dots to be super duper light gray so you can barely see them (they are actually even lighter than this photo above, oh and I’ll include a place at the bottom of this post with all the free printable links!). They are so much fun to doodle and write on. Here are some examples:
I’m also including some “goal” and “to-do” pages because I use these all the time!
I’m also one of the biggest book nerds you will meet so I created a “Books I’ve read” bullet journal page. I’m including a “2017” version of this for other book-lovers like myself!
When you’re done printing them, place them in your planner!
The Happy Planner has a punch that makes it so simple to insert and create your own pages.
I’ve collected many fun ways to use a bullet journal on my Pinterest board “Bullet Journaling Ideas” if you want to get an idea of what they’re all about!

Your book list is adorable! Would you consider making one with your titles blanked out? I’ll have to see what books I haven’t read from your list!
great idea! Yes, I’ll see what I can do!
I love that you’re merging the traditional planner with the bullet journal! I still draw out all my planner spreads, but I’ve been thinking about trying something like this in the future, once I’ve used up all the journals I already have. That’s my main goal — not spend any more money on journals until I’ve used up the ones I have. I’m down to only 1 left after my current one, so maybe later this year! 😀
Thanks for the awesome printables!
You’re so welcome Megan!
