Your bullet journal starter kit!
Updated: May 11, 2020
Bullet Journalling has been my biggest find of 2019 and its something that I'm going to carry with me in 2020. I have never found anything that has clicked with me so much and I have never been this consistent at anything in my life before. 2019 has been the year in which I have experienced my most growth and a large part of it is because of bullet journalling. And so one of my goals for the upcoming year is to be an ambassador for this effective method and to hopefully inspire people to take it up as well. In this blog post I'll be starting by giving you 30 reasons that'll hopefully convince you to start bullet journalling in 2020.
