Dot Journaling - A Practical Guide: How to Start and Keep the Planner, To-do List, and Diary That’ll Actually Help You Get Your Life Together

Product Information

The idea of the bullet journal is that once you understand the basic symbols and approach, you can use it to record and organize basically any type of task, thought, or idea — daily, monthly, work, home, personal, school, etc. Highlighting every other line like @bulletjournalnoob is an easy bullet journal idea for beginners. The dual-tip design gives you a fine tip for detailed outlining and a brush pen for shading, coloring, and watercolor blending effect! They are everything you will need to draw lines and details, sketch, highlight, practice bullet journal lettering, illustration, doodle, and do watercolor painting.

One is to keep a separate Collections Journal (which you can learn more about here). This is a totally separate journal to contain all of your collections nice and tidy. However, we have also the Custom Bullet Journal Collections. These are collections that people make based on their own personal interests and needs. If you want to get creative in protecting your journal, go “undercover.” My first journal was a three subject notebook with the word “History” written across the front. Then I began reading and was grateful as the author assured us that dot journaling is whatever you want it to be, that her layouts are guidelines and ideas. She even admitted that everything looked perfect in this book because it’s her job to make it look nice. Which makes sense. Simply put a collection is just a bunch of related ideas grouped together, think of them as like bullet journal inserts, and they can be in any form!Try writing a word in different styles. Use the dot grid to try skinny, tall and wide lettering styles. Think about high high the tops and bottoms of letters fall and use the grid to measure them. For example: create different styled lettering by creating a tall 'f' stem and along 'y' stem. Via @creativelybeth

There is a wide range of bullet journaling ideas for beginners depending on your interests. Whether you're creative and artistic, a type-A organizer, or just looking to have some fun with a new type of journaling, there's a bujo (bullet journal) style for you. What exactly is bullet journaling? Rhodia Dot Grid Notebook - I haven’t tried the dot grid version, but I have owned other Rhodia notebooks. My favorite thing about Rhodia is the amazing quality of the paper. The dots are a bit darker than other journals, but you’ll need to narrow it to paper quality vs dot intensity to make your decision.This is a free sample from my course, Artistic Planning For Beginners, on Foxsy.com. With a Foxsy membership, you can access this course along with 24 others on subjects such as watercoloring, creative journaling, hand lettering, drawing, and so much more. Take the first step toward making 2023 your year of creativity! Sustainable yet high quality, the Lemome bullet journal is crafted with an eco-friendly soft natural cork cover. It feels as soft as leather, but it’s actually cork fabric. Because there’s less processing involved in creating corkwood, the production of this bullet journal leaves a lower ecological footprint. The corkwood is both recyclable and biodegradable. The best remedy, I’ve found, is reminding yourself how much you’ve grown. You should only ever compare your work to your past work — because you’re the only one on this journey. Everyone else is on their own! A regular journal is typically a lined notebook in which you can express your thoughts and feelings in a stream-of-conscious format. A bullet journal, on the other hand, is more of an organizer, from broad goals to your daily routine. Think of a DIY bullet journal as part planner, part to-do list, part regular journal—it’s a little bit of everything. To bullet journal, you’re obviously going to need a notebook! My personal preference is a dot grid notebook but as I’ve mentioned before, you can have plain, lined, grid or any other type of notebook you want.
