85 Creative Bullet Journal Ideas

We all run out of fresh Bullet Journal ideas eventually. It is totally normal to stare at that crisp, white page and feel completely stumped, even when you have a desk full of your favorite Tombows and washi tape begging to be used.

I have definitely been there! You want to be productive, but you also want your journal to look cute and reflect your unique style. Sometimes, the inspiration just runs a bit dry, and that is perfectly okay.

That is exactly why I’ve gathered up this huge collection of inspiration for you. I wanted to share some of my absolute favorite layouts that go beyond just the standard weekly spreads.

This post is packed with creative Bullet Journal ideas to help you get unstuck, pick up your pen, and start having fun with your planning routine again. Let’s get those creative juices flowing!

When it comes to Bullet Journaling, it’s really an amazing tool that has so many possibilities – you can create anything you want. Quite literally, your only limit is your imagination.

At the same time, having such a wide choice is often why we freeze – it’s too many options to choose from! Where do you even start? And how do you choose what you should be creating?

Don’t worry, we will talk about this all. And more importantly, at the end of the post, you’ll find FREE Bullet Journal printables so you can start using different pages right away and find that joy and creativity in your Bullet Journal.

First things first, let me share with you some important tips.

How To Pick Bullet Journal Ideas For You

There are many fun and useful ideas out there, but not all of them will work for you, and you don’t have to use twenty pages each month for all the layouts you want.

Here I will share 85 ideas, but not all of them are a good fit, so here are a few tricks to help you pick layouts that are perfect for your needs.

Consider your needs

Your Bullet Journal should reflect your unique lifestyle, goals, and needs. Take some time to really think about what would make your life easier and more organized.

Experiment with your pages

Your Bullet Journal is evolving just like your life does. If a page isn’t working for you, scrap it! If you think of a new page that could be useful, add it! Give yourself permission to play around and see what works best for you.

Don’t overdo it

An important consideration when choosing your pages is not to use all the ideas at once. Remember that your Bullet Journal is a helpful tool, not something that makes life harder and is one more chore.

So be sure not to overdo it and avoid trying too many new things to the point where they lose their benefits and become a burden.

These are some of the main points, and the rest you figure out as you go, because after all, we are all different people and all of this varies from person to person.

Stationery Recommendations

Let’s first have a quick chart about stationery, since you will need some supplies for creating your pages. So here are a few of my favorites:

Sakura Pigma Micron – fineliners are the basis of all your Bullet Journal pages, and you can’t go wrong with these. They also come with pens of different nib sizes, so you can have a wider variety of lines.
Markers. If you want to add color to your page, you’ll need some markers. I love Tombow Twin Tone and Zebra Mildliners for their beautiful colors.
Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pens – these pens are perfect for beginners and will be a great help in adding beautiful brush lettering to your pages.
Washi Tapes. They are an amazing way to add a spark of color and creativity to your pages, and it will be super fast as well!

Ok, now that you know how to pick your pages and have gathered all the supplies for creating, let’s dive into some ideas for you to explore in your Bullet Journal.
