3/25 Bullet journal what how why? | Bullet journal kaj kako zakaj?

So for this lovely Sunday I decided to write about bullet journals.

Živijo, torej na ta nedeljski dan sem se odločila pisati o bullet journalih (pikčastih zvezkih).

They are becoming more and more popular and I also think this is the perfect time to order it if you want to begin bullet jounaling in January of 2018.

I really doubt that but if you've never heard of bullet jounal before, here's my explanation:

Ti zvezki postajajo vse bolj popularni in mislim , da je zdaj tudi popolni čas, da si ga naročiš, če želiš začeti z njim z novim letom.

Mislim, da ste že vsi slišali zanje, če pa ne pa vam bom v naslednjih vrsticah skušala pojasniti kaj sploh bullet jounal je.

So bullet journal in basically an empty notebook with evenly arranged small dots all over the pages (bullets).

Torej bullet journal je praktično navaden, prazen zvezek z enakomerno razporejenimi pikicami čez celotno stran.

What makes it so special? Well I would say that the dots do. I think the dots are perfect because with lined paper I feel like I'm very limited and the lines sometimes bother me. And I also don't like blank paper because then I'm not comfortable with writing on it since my writing is not lined up.

Verjetno, se boste vprašali, kaj ga sploh dela tako posebnega? Jaz bi rekla, da pikice. Zanje menim, da so idealne, kajti pri črtasth listih se včasih počutim omejeno in me črte motijo. Pri praznih listih pa tudi nisem ravno zadovoljna, ker nerada pišem nanje zato, ker vem, da bo postrani.

So how do bullet journals work?

Well, it's really up to you how you want to organise it. There are no rules for how your bullet journal should be like. You can look for inspiration and some suggestions.

Kako lahko bullet journal sploh uporabljam?
Uporabljate ga lahko kot planer. Na kakšen način si ga pa boste organizirali je pa popolnoma po vaši volji.

So I started my bullet journal in june 2017. I had quite a problem getting it since they don't sell it in Slovenia. I ordered it on ebay from Russia and I'm really happy with it. The pages are very thick and the ink never bleeds through. But I do have an issue with the front and back page. They are really thin and not supported so my journal is so distressed now and looks like I've been using it for years, when it's only been about 6 months. 

Svoj bullet journal sem začela uporabljati letos junija. Morala sem ga naročiti iz ebaya, ker pri nas v trgovinah ga nisem nikjer našla. Ogledovala sem si jih več, na koncu pa se odločila za bullet journal velikosti A5 znamke Falafel iz Moskve. Všeč mi je, ker so listi v zvezku zelo debeli in ne glede na uporabo pisala ne prepuščajo na drugo stran
Soon I'm going to run out of pages and I've been searching for a new one. I would kind of love to have the original one (leuchtturm1917) but they are really expensive, especially with shipping and everything. I'm also not sure what size to get. Now I have A5 format and I love it, but if I want to incorporate more illustrations in it it would be convenient to have a bigger one (A4).

Some people really stick to the layouts they do in their journals but I switch it a bit every time. 

I do my spreads at the end of the month for the next month (or at least I try to). It depends on my mood or how lazy I am that day. Some months I put a lot of time and effort in my spreads and other (most) months I just quickly scribble something it.

Nekateri radi ohranjajo pozicijo in stil, s katerim začnejo svoj bullet journal, jaz pa ga rada spreminjam. Odvisno od meseca in tega, kaj imam v načrtu si razporedim dneve tako, da mi najbolj ustreza. 

I know bullet journal is the perfect thing for me because I'm never sattisfied with planners I buy. Some days I just need more space. Or simply want to be a bit more creative with it.

Vem, da je bullet journal popolna stvar zame, ker drugače nisem nikoli zadovoljna s planerji, ki jih lahko kupim v trgovini. Vedno v njih najdem nekaj, kar mi ne ustreza. Na splošno si že od nekdaj rada kostumatiziram stvari.

Here are some things that I write in my bullet journal:

• First thing that I wrote in my bullet journal is a Key. I customized it a bit but mostly I copied it from some photo on Pinterest. 
• Then I have my monthly spread. It's basically an overall look of the month. 
• Another thing I love to have is my activity tracker or habit tracker. It's really fun to see how little (in my case) you've done over the month at the end of the month. 
• Then I do my weakly spreads. 

Še nekaj stvari, ki jih pišem v svoj bullet journal:

• na začetku sem si naredila kazalo
• nato sledi mesečni plan, kjer imam pregled nad celim mesecem in pomembnimi dogodki, načtri
• še ena stvar, ki si jo rada beležim, je sledilec mojih aktivnosti, kjer vsak dan oblkljukam, kaj sem počela (telovadila, jedla čokolado, bila vegi..)
• nato pa si zapišem še tedenski plan poleg mesečnega, kjer natančneje planiram, kaj bom čez dan počela

And that's it. I keep it really simple.

In case you haven't watched it, here is a time lapse of me doing my spread for the month of August.

Svoj bullet journal ohranjam precej preprost. Spodaj sem še priložila video, na katerem je prikazano kako sem si pripravila bullet za mesec avgust.

Thanks for reading.

Hvala za ogled!
