How to Start Bullet Journaling in Notion (Even if You're Not 'Crafty')
Learn how to create a simple, functional bullet journal in Notion that you'll actually stick with.
I've tried bullet journaling with a paper notebook, but I always stopped after a month. The problem wasn't the system—it was the setup. I spent hours drawing layouts, only to forget what each symbol meant. Then I discovered you can do the same thing in Notion, minus the mess.
Start with a simple daily log. Create a new page for each day and use bullet points for tasks, events, and notes. Add a checkbox for tasks, a star for important items, and an exclamation for things you don't want to forget. That's it. The beauty of Notion is that you can tie everything together with links and tags.
Once you're comfortable, add a weekly review. Set up a page where you reflect on what worked and what didn't. This is the magic—it turns your log into a tool for growth. You'll start to see patterns and adjust accordingly.
Finally, make it pretty. Choose a soft color palette and a clean font. Add a cover image that makes you smile. When your system looks inviting, you're more likely to use it.
Give it a try this week. You don't need fancy supplies—just a free Notion account and a few minutes. Trust me, if I can do it, you can.
