It’s basically something that can help you to organize your life while doing something creative and fun – and this is the first in a five-part series on everything you need to know about them.

So, what is a bullet journal? Well, a bullet journal is a blank notebook… that you transform into your own perfectly tailored and unique life organizer.
Even if you’re completely devoted to your planner/Filofax/electronic organizer, its worth giving bullet journaling a try if the number of converts is anything to go by.
I’m going to share my take on the bullet journaling method (inspired by several great bloggers and Pinterest posts, which I’ll share in a later post), but before moving on to that it’s a good idea to take a look at the original ‘how to’ video by the creator of the method, Ryder Carol.
