5 cool ways to use dot paper

Bullet journaling

A while back I won a notebook with dotted paper in it. I had seen blank notebooks and lined notebooks and even notebooks with squared paper. But I had never seen a notebook with dot paper in it. I am a stationary junkie, so this was really weird for me.

What do I do with a dot paper notebook!?

I had heard of bullet journaling and people using fancy planners in leather cases which were always too expensive for me to get, but I never realised dot paper is specifically used for bullet journals.

Last year I managed to get hold of a really nice planner which had diary pages and set out to do lists in it. It was fantastic and I used it all year. This year I was at a loss what to do. Then I discovered bullet journaling.

This was a revelation.

If you don’t know what a bullet journal is, it’s a cross between a diary, a journal, a sketchbook and a scrap book. It’s a place to keep all the important life things you need to do and where you can track your progress towards goals and schedule appointments. It’s a way to organise your life.

It’s amazing.

Too many dots
