The Official Bullet Journal Edition 2 - Notebook Built for BuJo, Medium A5 204 Pages of 120gsm Paper, With Bujo Pocket Guide (Black)

I had been working with other miscellaneous "dot" journals to start my Bullet Journaling. And they worked, but they didn't work like this journal, custom-made for all your Bullet Journaling needs. First off, the "dot" journal spine broke away from the pages as I reached the end of the book. I haven't gotten that far yet in my new Bullet Journal, but it's very sturdy. The BuJo came with not one, but THREE placemarking ribbons built into it. You'd better believe I'm using every one right now. It makes it so handy. The BuJo pages are pre-numbered, so, yay! The first pages of the BuJo are set up with: -The Key (symbols you will be using) - Intentions (good to start off with, even if they evolve. And if they do, there is a whole page to show it.) -The Index (4 pages, plenty of room to fill it in, as you go.) -The Future Log (4 pages, again.) And then, you get into the pages for your daily journal and collections and whatever else you want to pop into there. And each of these pages has markings, dividing the pages vertically into thirds (three dots at the bottom) and halves (two dots at the bottom). The pages have markings dividing them horizontally into thirds and halves at the margin sides of the pages. This is really handy for making charts or formatting your page otherwise. This journal also comes with a little "Get Started" booklet tucked into a pocket on the inside of the back cover. The page quality is really nice and fairly thick. Great for most pens, with no bleed-through to the other side. It's helped me tidy up my life, since I keep all my notes in it. I used to scribble down my notes on odd pieces of paper and have them stacked on my desk and other random places. Now I've committed to keeping them in my BuJo and it's become my Command Central.

This is my first time using a bullet-style journal. I love the sturdiness of the cover. The bright yellow color is vibrant and uplifting. I decorated the outside of it with inspiration stickers. The pages feel nice and don’t bleed through. I appreciate the thorough instructions and suggestions included with the journal on how to use it. It comes with some stickers and a nice little pocket in the back to store them. The numbered pages and index add an opportunity for organization. There is a QR code included in the instruction booklet that links to a video further explaining the Bullet Journal style of journaling. I love this journal and will buy another when this one is full.

If your into BUJO this is the one for you... Awesome Canvas to work all your magic into, Very high quality paper and zero bleed thru using different pens and markers. This is my 3rd year using these books and by the end of the year the pages may look coffee stained , but the binder looks great and has a soft worn in feel to it. Three fabric page dividers and elastic binder to hold all your folded papers in back are indispensable. "Denken Mit Derhand"

Fantastic. Second year using this journal. I use Tombow, Zig, Micron, and Faber Castell PITT markers and don’t have any problems. I’m not heavy handed and do not watercolor. I use washi tape sometimes and stickers. No problems. I don’t like a pen holder so I like that there isn’t one attached. I have the black one and it gets thrown into all kinds of bags. Handles a beating. Also classic for any meeting. I don’t think I can go without 3 book markers. One is a bit more ragged in the middle because it got snagged on a thick sticker. Great binding. I don’t really use the stickers provided and wish they’d go away from gold highlights and try colors some time. I also dont really use the elastic until the end of the year because it stays closed. Tried and true. I over analyze every year because of the price point, but for me it’s exactly right.

I used to journal and no idea why I stopped. Since coming back I learned of bullet journaling. I always did some form of this. But really great to see people have turned it into a system and sharing how people organize their lives and keep track of the every day. It has really help me not be overwhelmed with all that is going on in my head and in my life. Helping me remember and recall events. About the build of the journal is very high in quality. Well bound and very thick pages. I love that their are more then one ribbon for book marks. Lots references and things in the journal to help with creating grids, stickers for months and dates. I absolutely love the simplicity and and functionality of the design. well worth it.

I love this bullet journal. I've tried many different bullet journals in my lifetime and the Leuchtturm1917 is my favorite brand. If you like the aesthetic of Moleskin, Leuchtturm1917 has the same vibe but their books are much more practical because their pages aren't as thin as bible paper. I've purchased quite a few of their bullet journals but this was my first time purchasing the 'Official Bullet Journal' and I love it. The paper is thick so your ink doesn't seep through the page. I love the features like the index, future log, numbered pages and the little pocket in the back to hold things. The ONLY negative thing I have to say about it is the price. I get that it is a good quality book, but I just think $30 is a bit much for a small book, and the 'less popular' colors are not as expensive sooo. Anyway I am at that point of the year where I need to purchase a new bullet journal for the coming year and I really want to repurchase this one but I don't know if its really worth spending that much when I can get the exact same book with lightly less quality for 1/3 of the price. I found a 2 pack of bullet journals with all the same features, thick numbered pages, future log, index and the pocket in the back for like $10-$15. Beautiful book, love the color and the texture of the pages and the leather hard cover. Love everything there is to love about the book, except the price.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I've tried using other notebooks for my Bullet Journal but this one is designed by the creator of the BuJo method and so there's not going to be much else that's going to work as well. Writing ability: It took a minute to find the inks that work best with this paper. I prefer something a little toothier, and many inks will sit on the surface of this so long that they smear or leave imprints on the facing pages. I have found that liquid gel works best. Notebook quality: It's Leuchtturm. What can I say? It's going to be quality. That said, the last page is inevitably stuck to the flyleaf for about 1/4" in, and sometimes (occasionally, maybe even rarely) a book looks like it wants to separate towards the end--but it never does. It looks bad for a minute, but this stuff is stitched to stay, so no worries. Gift value: It's a great gift if you know someone who is scattered (the system was developed by Ryder Carroll almost by accident, as a kid, to deal with his ADHD) and open to trying something new. That last bit is key: Don't spend the money if they're just gonna throw it in a drawer. Buy one for yourself instead! I have been through every organizing system known to man, from At-A-Glance calendars provided by employers back in the '80s (yes, the '80s) to Day-Runners, Day-Timer, Fil-o-Fax, BestSelf, Franklin/Covey--you name it, I've tried it. BuJo is the first that has truly served as the everything-in-one-place notebook that as a clinical psychologist I've been recommending for students since I was in grad school. It's not about the notebook, but about the system. That said, I've tried a lot of notebooks, hoping to save money, but keep coming back to this one. I have literally yards of shelf space devoted to my old notebooks, so I know whereof I speak. If you're up for trying a new system, or want to turn a buddy or a kid on to bullet journaling, this is THE best notebook for the purpose.

I must say, it is one of the best bullet journals I have ever used! The design is minimalistic, and the paper quality is outstanding - 160gsm. The journal has a table of contents, numbered pages, and dot grid paper that makes it incredibly easy to create a customized layout that works for my needs. The paper quality is thick and smooth, which makes writing in it a breeze, without any bleeding or ghosting. The added bonus of the official bullet journal guide in the front of the journal is fantastic for beginners, with clear explanations and examples of how to use the bullet journal system effectively. It's also helpful for more experienced users to have a refresher on the system. The size is perfect to take it on the go. Overall, I highly recommend this journal 2 to anyone looking for a quality journal that can be customized to fit their unique needs.
