May #BulletJournalChallenge: Unfold

Hello and welcome to a fresh new #BulletJournalChallenge! 

Every month I host this challenge over on the beautiful Bullet Journal site as a way to help you think about your Bullet Journal in a deeper way with some guided prompts. In the comments and around social media conversation ensues and images are shared and it's wonderful to see what everyone gets out of the challenge. 

I have a lot of fun creating these challenges every month according to what I notice Bullet Journalists are into and what the rhythm of the community is. I hope you join in the conversation and check out what others are saying to get more out of your Bullet Journal experience :)

Since the official Bullet Journal notebooks are currently sold out, this is the only way to get your hands on one for the time being. 

How the challenge works:

There are 3-4 prompts every month and you answer them in the comment of the article over on the Bullet Journal site and you can share on social media as well :) Go check out the full instructions over there. 

Here's an example of how you can join the challenge:

Do you remember that thrilling moment when you first grabbed your notebook, tore away the wrapping, and opened it to the sound of a crisp page?

The feel of the pages completely new and open with possibilities and adventure ahead.

An invitation for something new and exciting waiting for you to create it.

The moment that your pen hits the page and thoughts swell out of you in a cascade of scribbles and scrawlings. Catharsis.

The pressure vanishing from your mind as the thoughts and ideas gain a new form on the blank oasis in front of you.

The glee of having a fresh new companion; a tool to help you conquer the day ahead.

The ability to let out any and all of your thoughts in a way that makes sense and resonates with the way you work.

There are no enforced templates, only a simple framework provided by the Bullet Journal to get out of your way to help you pour your plans and ideas onto paper.

With the swift motion of your pen, you can transcribe the fleeting thought before it forever abandons your mind, resting happily knowing that it was salvaged with the simple tossing open of your notebook. It truly is journaling at the speed of life.

There’s something to be said about a clear space to melt your thoughts onto with the gushing of ink.

When you write across the pages, it’s a wonderful way to capture a flurry of your tasks, experiences, wisdom, and the very essence of your being.

The best part about the Bullet Journal is that you build it as you go. It’s a completely fantastic system that invites a cascade of thought and meaning to bleed onto the pages.

In a simple and beautiful way you’ve made a permanent mark in a completely forgiving system.

It’s a place of focus and intentionality.

The thoughts flutter and gingerly lay where you can find both refuge for productivity and a way to transcribe your life as it occurs in the pages ahead. It’s an experience that is unparalleled. It’s a notebook you develop over time to reflect your life as it unfolds.

What will your notebook tell?

Suggestions to think about what unfolding means to you:

– What do you wish you had known when you started using the Bullet Journal?
– What are tips you have for Bullet Journal newbies?
– Do you have any hacks you’ve added or developed?
– Share some of your favorite spreads in your Bullet Journal
