I don t know of anyone who uses a dairy these days. Who has the time to lug around a journal or planner when you can have your schedule fed into your phone calendar or an organsing app? But there are some who are going back to keeping diaries and journals and recording their everyday life in them. These journals are unlike the printed yearly diaries, organisers or planners that are widely available in stationery stores. The bullet journal is a more personal account of your everyday life that you can chart out on your own in a simple notebook. If you have no idea what we re talking about, we suggest you search for #BulletJournals on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
A bullet journal is essentially a detailed personalised planner that you can make yourself with just a blank notebook and a pen. The process of jotting down everything requires a lot of patience indeed, especially in an age when we re just not used to writing down anything anymore. But that is what is therapeutic about bullet journals by taking the time out to write down everything in a neat, structured manner, your mind becomes calmer, more organized and mindful and less stressed. These are some health benefits of writing in a diary or journal regularly. This is the reason the bullet journal craze is widespread #bulletjournal has 1,115,650 Instagram posts from across the world.
