Posted on Monday, October 21st, 2019

Do you often find yourself losing track of your to-do lists, find it hard to plan ahead, or generally want to be more organized? If so, we’d say you’re like most people. Luckily, we’ve found a flexible, customizable solution: the Bullet Journal.

What is the Bullet Journal?

The Bullet Journal is a written organizational system created by Ryder Carroll, a Designer based in New York. At a young age, Ryder was diagnosed with ADD, and figured out how to organize and sort information in a way that would work for him – and thus the Bullet Journal system was born. In Ryder’s words, Bullet Journaling is meant “to help you track the past, organize the present, and plan for the future”.
