All you need to start a bullet journal are a notebook, a pen. 

Here are a few things you can include in your bullet journal :

  • An index page : this makes it easier to know what you have inside your journal and you can reference it when you're starting a new journal.
  • Year at a glance : Here, you can include the calendar of each month with a few lines drawn which you can fill in with the highlights of each month.
  • Month at a glance : Here, you basically have to draw a grid and fill it in with the dates of the coming month. You can mark important days such as birthdays, appointments, deadlines etc. in this calendar.
  • Week at a glance : This is nice to see what is coming up in the week ahead. The different asks and appointments for a page can be added here. 
  • The Bullet Journal Key : You can assign a key to different levels of work completion. For example: You could make a dot symbolize a task that is to be completed, a check mark to depict a task that has been completed and a cross mark to symbolize a task that you might have skipped. 

You dont have to make your bullet journal look fancy or artful. You dont need a fancy notebook, colored pens, expensive stickers etc. to maintain a bullet journal either. All you have to do is make it functional. Although, if you do want to get creative, you could you cute, functional and decorative stickers. This saves you a lot of time as you do not have to illustrate things yourself, you get premade calendar stickers, date stickers, decorative stickers, stick-on page markers etc. 

There is no right or wrong way to bullet journal, do not compare your bullet journal to those of others. Just trust the process, dedicate some time to make it a part of your routine.
