Look for a journal with a lay-flat spine, high-quality paper, a dot grid that’s light and easy on the eyes, and numbered pages. How many pages a bullet journal has depends on the notebook brand you buy. Most top bullet journal brands vary from 124 to 249 pages. The Official Bullet Journal, created by Leuchtturm and Ryder Carroll (the inventor of the bullet journal system), has 185 pages.

You don’t even need to decide what to write, you just need to let your words flow. Pens and pencils are equally sufficient for the purposes of journal writing. However, pens typically offer a smoother feel while writing (depending on the pen type) and are more likely to stand the test of time.
What are the three most common symbols used in a bullet journal?
