These Bullet Journals Will Help You Get Organized and Unleash Your Creative Side—and They’re on Sale

As the New Year approaches, this time of year often becomes a time of reflection and setting new intentions for the year ahead. A solid place to start is by getting your life organized, and bullet journaling can help you accomplish that. Setting goals and tracking your progress will keep you mindful and make you more productive. Logging your habits and breaking down complex tasks into bite-sized steps is easier when you keep a bullet journal.

There's no one-size-fits-all to bullet journaling: Some people prefer colorful, doodle-filled pages to accompany their methods, while others simply need to jot down list after list in black ballpoint to pull it all together. Then you must choose between bound journals or notebooks with coil binding, white or ivory paper, and B5 and A5 sizes. You have several options available, so it's understandable if you get overwhelmed, especially if you’re new to bullet journaling.

We curated a list of the six best bullet journal options currently on sale at Amazon. Whether you need a roomy page to spread your ideas all over or a handy notebook that coordinates with your digital notes, there's a style to suit your needs.

Explore the bullet journals below that will help you unleash your creative side in 2023.
