A Jumpstart Guide to Journaling Lingo

Let’s Breakdown the World of Journaling!

In 2017, when I started my first bullet journal, I was captivated by all of the terms and different ways that people could use journals and the bullet journaling system. It felt like a whole new planner, but one that you create on your own.

Almost like the ultimate journal or planner.

The best planner or journal of all time.

The perfect way to find balance, organization, and peace.

I began to see over the years that journaling can be made into your own unique needed system. You can take from one style of journaling, and then add it to another. You can mix and match. You find what works for you. The only issue with this is that it is sometimes difficult to keep all of the terms and lingo clear in your mind. This post contains a quick two-page dictionary for understanding the world of journaling. You can also check out the Introduction to Journaling that I have posted here, a free 73+ page guide on how to introduce (or reintroduce) yourself to journaling.
