LEUCHTTURM1917 Official Bullet Journal Edition 2 Notebook

I’ve been using one of these Bullet Journals for over a year now. I got it after I suspected I had ADHD to help keep my thoughts/to do/work/home life, whatever I wanted in check. I’ve tried regular planners in the past, however the day I miss one page, I’m over it. I’m a perfectionist, and those empty pages made me feel as if I failed. I also tend to get too complicated when trying to separate my work life from home life (one journal for home, one for work, one for this and one for that). This journal has been a life saver. It’s super simple, yet has so much potential. Whatever you want to use it for, this can do it. The indexing system is brilliant, it means no more blank pages for me. And I don’t need one for work and one for home. I use one index page for work stuff, and one index page for home stuff, no separation when it comes to pages. One page may be personal stuff, and the next could be work. The index helps keep them sorted. The dots on the pages mean you can use it as a regular journal, draw out a table, use half the page, a section, the whole thing, whatever you can think of. I know some people go crazy with doodling and stickers and mapping it out. I prefer the basic, clean, but structured route. I’ve used this for everything from to-do lists, project tasks at work, throwing random ideas in my head to paper, as a location to dump my thoughts, meeting notes, and so much more. I’ve loved it so much, that I’ve convinced a few coworkers to get one themselves. Working on another one right now 🙂

I did find some additional things that helped me in using this. The first thing I did was get a dedicated “good” pen to go along with the journal. My preference has been the Parker Jotter with medium ballpoint ink (any color). I then got a pen holder that I stuck to the back cover which sticks out the right side of the journal. This way I always had that pen on hand when I needed it, and didn’t have to hunt one down. It also helps me keep track of my pen and not leave it behind, which is especially useful since the pen is a bit on the spendier side. I also recently started using cheap 5″x8″ Amazon Basics notepads as an in-between location before something gets put into the journal. I found myself sometimes thinking quicker than I could write, so I was having to correct myself after the fact. It was making more of a mess of my pages than I liked. This way I can throw it on the notepad, not worry about errors or writing it all out, and transfer it later. This has helped tremendously when I’m in work meetings. Write down the basics of an idea, just enough to remember the gist of it, and flesh it out later when transposing it into the journal. This way I’m not holding up anyone else, and I can get my mind back to listening and talking rather than worrying about what I’m writing. The final (most recent) thing that I’ve gotten for this journal is its own case/cover. Being I now had some additional accessories for this journal, I needed something low profile to keep them all in place. This case has a slot to slide the back cover into, so the journal stays in place and doesn’t move around. It also has room for the pen and a couple of notepads so they are always with the journal when needed. It zips shut so I don’t have to worry about anything falling out. This case did, however, make the pen holder on the back cover obsolete since it was now in a slot. But there are multiple places you can insert the pen within the case. I just leave it alongside the binder of the journal and zip it closed.

Well, that’s about all I have for now on this. This is by far the longest review I have ever written. It has by far had the most impact on my life out of anything I have purchased in the last few years, so I’ve a lot to say on it. And learned a lot of tricks along the way. If you made it through the whole thing, you deserve props 🙂

Easy to use ; set up went fast . Got a little instruction/ help manual loved it

Muy buen material. Util si deseas hacer BuJo.

Llegó en perfecto estado, y la calidad me parece bastante buena; espero me sea útil.

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.

Es una belleza de libreta, mucha calidad, muchos detalles, con los formatos para bullet journal, pero igual puedes usarla como gustes. Sin duda la compraría de nuevo y de nuevo.
