Bullet Journal Set up for Beginners
Instead of an actual planner, I’ve decided to use my bullet journal as a form of memory keeping.
The beautiful thing about having aย bullet journal is that you can design it to fit your needs.
You can make it as detailed or as simple as you want!
This bullet journal setup can be used for any year. (Pretend the video says 2025 instead of 2022, ha!)
I hope you find some inspiration for bullet journal setups, modern calligraphy, and hand lettering ideas for your journal or planners.
First, let’s go over the supplies you’ll need. Below is everything I used to set up my bullet journal.
Feel free to use whatever you have on hand. I included links to everything from Amazon for your convenience.
