How these A5 bullet journal pages get you started
Begin with the how-to spread and the key. It explains nine symbols, shows a sample day of rapid logging, leaves room for symbols of your own and walks you through an easy monthly migration.
After that, every classic module is already laid out for you. There is a two-page index, a future log covering six months, a month calendar paired with a task page, a numbered line for each date of the month and two weekly layouts, boxes or rows. The habit tracker and the year-in-pixels mood tracker each stretch over a spread, so every circle and square is roomy enough to fill on a small page. With no dates printed, you can begin whenever you like and reprint the monthly, weekly and daily pages as often as needed.
Who this bujo set is for
- Beginners who would like the bullet journal method explained on paper, right inside their planner
- Anyone carrying an A5 6-ring, Half Letter or junior discbound planner who wants ready bujo pages rather than a blank notebook
- Busy minds who love the method but not the hours spent ruling spreads
- Journalers who mix weekly spreads, trackers and collections and only reprint what they actually use
Design and printing
- Elegant and minimal, with white pages and soft blush pink details that save ink
- Wide margins on every side, so home printing never cuts anything off
- Portrait inserts measuring 148 x 210 mm (A5) and 5.5 x 8.5 in (Half Letter), and print-and-cut sheets for A4 and US Letter
- Undated, so any day of any year works as a start
- Mirrored margins, a 14 mm binding edge that sits left on odd pages and right on even pages, with 8 mm outside
- At least 6.5 mm between writing lines and no text under 8.5 pt, comfortable on a small page
- A dashed center line and cut ticks on print-and-cut sheets, so one cut produces two pages
- Works in a binder or on a clipboard, or spiral bound by a print shop

Good to know

- Colors may look slightly different printed than on screen.
- Personal use only. Sharing, reselling or redistributing the files is not permitted.
- Digital files cannot be returned, but if a file does not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.
- Brands set their rings at different distances, so we left the pages free of punch marks. Punch along the wide inner margin with an A5 6-hole, junior or disc punch.
- The mood tracker, gratitude and reflection pages are for personal journaling. They are not medical advice and do not replace a doctor or other qualified professional.
