DIY bullet journal

Hi again!!,

Recently I have started my own ‘bullet journal’ type book (using a notepad) to try and get myself slightly more organised.


I bought this a5 size notebook from Tesco for around £4 (I think). I know some people buy a bullet journal to fill out but I’m not very good at sticking to something that I write in everyday so thought I’d try having a make shift one to start with.

I have been reading lots of people’s posts and searching through Pinterest to find ideas of what I can put in my bullet journal, I decided to put a monthly habit tracker in and a weekly to do list.

I started by writing the month in colourful letters, I’m not too good at doing any creative writing so this looks a bit rubbish but as it’s only me who will be using it I’m not too worried!


I tried to use mainly yellow and green as I feel they are the colours most associated with spring.

Next I added my habit tracker (I realised after I had written it that I spelt habit wrong but as it’s in felt pen there wasn’t a lot I could do to change it!)


To start with I have only set myself 2 habits that I would like to get myself into doing daily which are cleansing and moisturising my face daily – I do this every few days (sounds gross 😂) but would like to get into the habit of doing it everyday. I also added drink enough to reach my water goal which I have set on my Fitbit app (which is around 1,900ml per day). I will probably add more to the list as I get further into it but I couldn’t think of anymore at the time. I have also started on the 26th of April as I was too impatient to wait until the beginning of May!

On the next page I have written myself a weekly to do tick list to try and help get me more organised and get things done!

I’m not sure what else I can add to my bullet journal, I have seen some people have a happiness tracker along with their habit tracker but I’m unsure whether I should add one or if this would give me too much to be doing to start with.

Does anyone have any ideas of what more I can add? Also I would love to see pictures/links to any bullet journals or trackers that you have.

Hopefully my diy bullet journal will go to plan and get me more organised, I will keep you all posted on how I get on.

See you soon!
