What is a bullet journal? A creative method of journaling and note-taking that uses bullet points as its core structure. The idea behind it is that you jot down quick notes instead of long sentences in a creative and attractive way.

Using symbols, charts and illustrations, and a variety of pen colours on a dotted grid background - you can log anything you want, such as:

• chronicle daily activities - track habits - log appointments - keep calendars - plan trips - record random thoughts - keep track of a diet.

In less than a year, the phenomenon that is bullet journaling has taken off with thousands of journalers sharing their work on Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook. In How To Bullet Plan, Buzzfeed editor Rachel Wilkerson Miller tells you everything you need to know to start your own, with beautiful colour illustrations to spark your ideas.
