I consider myself to be a part-time bullet journal user. Back in 2016, I was a hardcore bullet journal enthusiast. Now that it’s 2020, my life is getting busier and I don’t have time to make every page look beautiful and Instagram-worthy. The main thing that stopped me from using my bullet journal was that I’m not super artistic. My drawings and doodles tend to be a little bit all over the place which made me worried that I wasn’t ‘good enough’ to be part of the BuJo Community.
Anyway, now I have started to realise that each journal owner is unique. We don’t have to do things that way that all these professional planners do it. So, my mission from now on is to start using my bullet journal the way that I want to.
My favourite thing to do in my bullet journal is to make lists and collections. So, I compiled a huge list of collection ideas for me to fill the rest of my journal with!

I feel like I’m going to be journalling for a very long time before I manage to complete all of these but I’ll definitely give it a good go.
If you have any ideas on what I could fill some more of my journal with then let me know!
This really is the ULTIMATE list, good job! And don’t worry even if your bujo doesn’t look like a work of modern art. The creator of bullet journaling himself only used a black pen. I myself wouldn’t call my notebook a bullet journal, but I like to keep organized, so I put some elements of bujo in it. I’m sure I’ll use some of these ideas in there, too. Thank you!

So many ideas, so little time! Last year, I limited my bujo to mood trackers, daily highlights, books to read, birthday list, poems, and goals for the year. Hoping to do more this year!

Yet another great post Eleanor. I am so proud of you saying even though you didn’t feel good enough to fit into the BuJo community, you are doing it your way anyway. That is a huge move. Very well done. Doing it your way is the best way and I honestly feel everyone will love it your way. It isn’t all about the beautiful spreads etc, it is about what is put into them. 🙂

What an amazing list! I used to bullet journal but stopped because I would get mad at myself if the pages weren’t “perfect” now I basically make my own journal pages and use prompts (kind of like bujo, right?). I’m going to save this page and come back to it when I need inspiration. Thank you! ♥

Don’t worry about how it looks as long as you enjoy doing it 😊 Great list. I tried to start a bullet journal last year but I find it hard to find the time, like you said!
