A bullet journal is, essentially, a planner. But, as the name suggests, it is a journal designed for organizing your thoughts and plans all in one place. It’s a great option for those who are creatively-minded — or even for those who want to take on a new project — because you design the bullet journal yourself, to fit your needs. It can be as complicated or simplistic as you want it to be. Many bullet journals feature the layout of a planner (with yearly, monthly, and daily viewing options), in addition to to-do lists, graphs that track goals or habits, book and movie lists, doodles, travels, keepsake items, and more.
If your New Year’s resolution is to be more organized, then this could be the perfect way to achieve your goal. Still confused? Check out some of the following Instagram accounts for further explanation of what a bullet journal is. These accounts serve as great inspiration for not only creating your own bullet journal, but for organizing your life in 2017.

If you’re interested in a less-intimidating version of bullet journaling, then this is a good account to look at. She shows that all you really need to make a bullet journal are a few good pens, an organized to-do list, and a splash of color.
