52 Bullet Journal Collections Ideas….Just Because!

If you stop by here regularly, you’ll know that I wouldn’t be without my bullet journal. It helps me to stay organised, be more productive and reflect back over my day and month in a way that makes me appreciate the little things. I do love it. So today I thought I’d share how I set mine up, along with some inspiration around bullet journal collections.

Bullet Journal Set Up

My bullet journal is set up really simply, with just a few monthly spreads at the beginning of each month, and then my daily to do lists and collections as and when I want them. I have shared it over on my YouTube channel is you fancy a closer look, or check out Getting Started with a Bullet Journal.

So in addition to this layout, I add in collections when I want them.



What are Bullet Journal Collections?

Bullet journal collections can be about absolutely anything and can be as large or small as you need them to be. For example, over Christmas I added some around cards, gift ideas, Christmas memories and so on. They can be useful, they can be about preserving memories, they can be great for getting things out of your head and onto paper and they can be just for fun.

So today I thought I’d put together a list of 52 bullet journal collections ideas, some are handy to have and some will make you smile, so add them in…just because!

  1. some lovely idea there, I might have a go. My bullet journal is something I really look forward to filling in. I’m not the most creative person either and my handwriting leaves a lot to desire, but I love keeping everything together in my journal.

  2. Lots of great ideas here Jocelyn, I’m really loving my bullet journal. On the weeks I’m busy it can be as simple as the weekly log and menu plan, but when I have a bit of extra time I love making up more thoughful spreads and doodles! 🙂 x

  3. I love this, I’ve cut down on a few of these kind of pages just as I didn’t have the time but I think I’ll have to put a few again after reading this. I definitely need a favourite literary quotes page and a de-clutter list!

    1. Yes, I don’t always add them, but every now and then, I like to empty a few random thoughts out onto paper! Glad it’s inspired you 🙂
