Supplies needed to get started with BuJo
You can start a bullet journal in pretty much any empty notebook that you have lying around. That’s all you need. A journal and a pen.
However, it is much more likely to use a bullet journal every day when getting some joy from the materials you're using. That means that a nicer journal and some bright, funky pens are also a great way to get started and enjoy the process a bit more.
Future Log
A page where you can write down any future appointments or dates for a month you haven’t set up yet.
That way you can easily reference it to see if there’s a dentist appointment coming up or a deadline sneaking up on you.

Bullets
Bullets are short-form sentences paired with symbols that visually categorize your entries into: Tasks, Events, or Notes.
Tasks
They are represented by a simple dot “•”.
You use a dot instead of a checkbox because it's fast, clean, and can easily be transformed to reflect the state of the Task.

The first steps
- Get a Journal and Writing Utensils
- Start an Index Page: The backbone of your BuJo system, like a table of contents in a book
- Create Logs - places where you can brain-dump tasks, projects, goals
- Pick Signifiers: Many people use bullets for lists of tasks, circles for events, and dashes for notes.
- Document Items with Collections: Collections are running lists and anything you want to remember for later(like blog topics, books you want to read etc.)
The 3 common types of logs:
- A future log helps you keep track of items that aren’t yet on your immediate radar.
- Monthly logs include things like calendars and categorized goal lists for the next 30 days.
- Daily logs may includes entries of to-dos, meetings, and reminders.
