Plano Learns: Bullet Journaling

Learn how to use a Bullet Journal to organize your life with Plano Public Library.

On May 5, we hosted a virtual workshop on the Basics of Bullet Journaling (BUJO). You can see the recording of the workshop below, as well as download the handout and access additional library resources.

BUJO is a system of logging all the important information in your life in a single, easily accessible location. The system is very flexible using collections of spreads, or layouts, which can be put in any order to suit your needs.

Download our Plano Learns: Bullet Journaling Basics handout for outlines of journaling styles, setting up your supplies and journal key, and examples of different spreads like future logs, habit trackers and a daily log.
