Bullet Journal Page Ideas For Beginners

In this post, we'll go through some of the staple pages one might consider adding to their Bullet Journal. But I want you to always remember - it's your journal, and it's up to you to decide what you'll include there.

If any of these sound like you don't want to use them - just don't! Your journal = your rules.

Basic Bullet Journal Pages

Starting with some pages that were part of the original Bullet Journal method. Most of these you can see in every Bullet Journal out there.

Bullet Journal Collections

These are the basic 5 pages, but there is so much more the system can offer you! The next 6 pages are what we call collections – spreads created on some particular topic.

I chose these because they are the ones that I use the most and that are very popular in the Bullet Journal community.

This only means that even though they might be something for you to consider, it’s absolutely not a necessity. Always remember that your planner is only yours and has to fit your needs, so if some of these don’t work for you – don’t feel pressured to keep using them.

Extra Ideas: Creativity Pages

I don't include them as must have Bullet Journal pages for beginners, but I wanted to finish this post with some pages you can add to have fun and express your creativity.

Being creative in your journal is a kind of therapy because you finally have time for yourself and by yourself.

Working on creative pages are you taking a well-deserved break from the world and just doing something you enjoy for yourself. It’s not selfish; it’s precisely the type of self-care we all need.

I’m sure this would give you enough to think about it and get you started with your Bullet Journal.
