35 Things to Track in your Bullet Journal

Regular readers will know that a couple of months ago I decided to give using a bullet journal a go. And it worked for me. And I am now hooked! I cannot tell you how much I rate this system, though my 8 Reasons You Should be Using a Bullet Journal should give you a clue. To give you a few ideas on how keeping one might help you, I thought I’d share 35 things to track in your bullet journal today.

Bullet journals are hugely versatile as you basically decide yourself what to include in them, how to use them and how to get the most out of yours.

They should make you more productive, and can include journaling, art, collections, lists, schedules, trackers and so much more.

I explained all about them in my Getting Started with a Bullet Journal post, so if you’ve yet to start one of these, that should be a useful guide for you.

Today I wanted to offer a little inspiration about what you can include in your bullet journal, whether you’re just starting out or you feel like changing yours up a little.

I’m often adding new collections to mine, and I like to consider any alterations needed as I set up each new month.

Now I’m not suggesting that you track every one of these 35 things each month, though go for it if you fancy it! I use some of these every month, some most months and some every now and again.

That’s one of my very favourite things about keeping a bullet journal, how completely flexible it is. It can be changed from month to month in this way, and indeed, day to day as you can add in collections and spreads any time that suits you.

Anyway, onto the suggestions. Here are 35 things to track in your bullet journal…

  5. Great list! I do think I can add to it. I have a picky geriatric cat, so it’s in my best interest to keep a list of what she does and does not like in the way of canned cat food. There’s also pantry inventory, first aid kid inventory (including any expiration dates) and my essential oil inventory.
