GUIDES

I just discovered the Bullet Journal Method a week or two ago (as of 2026-05-15) and it might be the best thing ever.

If you didn't know, bullet journaling (BuJo for short) is a very efficient method of journaling, which can replace all of your habit trackers, calenders, to-do lists, notebooks, and anything else you need! The great thing about bullet journaling is that it's complettely modular, meaning you can create your own systems whenever you need them, and completely linear, meaning you aren't pre-assigning a bunch of pages for specific uses, you just start a new page whenever you need it. Any pages you create will also be really easy to find, because this system also uses an Index, which would have any page title, followed by the page number. If you want to continue that page later, you can just go to a new page, then add the page number to that index entry you already made! For example: Favorite Movies: Page 4, 9, 16. IT'S THAT EASY! Anyways, let's get into the guide.

Supplies

All you will need to start Bullet Journaling is a Notebook (Number the pages), and a Pen or pencil. You could also buy the book if you wanted to, or y'know, just go to good old libgen, look up "Bullet Journal Method" and download it for free using one of the download mirrors to the right. (I recommend downloading the epub file then using the librera app on your phone to read it)

Index

As previously mentioned, the index is an integral part of bullet journaling. It allows you to quickly find specific notes, Months, or anything else you write down. Whenever you start a new page, you would simply write down the page topic, and page number in the index. Here's an example of an Index:

TO-DO

Kitchen

• Use wooden cutting boards, hand wash them and treat with A beeswax based cutting board cream occasionally.
• Use glass or metal containers for leftovers and ingredients, or reusable silicone bags with food wrapped in butcher paper to prevent direct contact.
• Use beeswax wraps for storing food short-term in the fridge.
• For the freezer, the silicone bag + butcher, wax, or unbleached parchment paper combo is still the best.
• Use a wooden dish brush and a solid dish soap block such as this one.
• If you use the dishwasher, use dishwasher tablets made by Also Green instead of plastic-wrapped ones, or simply make your own.
• Replace paper towels with cotton dishcloths, or at the very least these recycled ones.
• Consider this Spray Cleaner Kit by Also Green if you prefer something beyond a warm soapy dishcloth.
• Use a compost bin and set up a simple composting system, especially if you're gardening.
• For cooking, use stainless steel cookware. Avoid non-stick pans at all costs.
• Use cloth napkins instead of paper ones.
• Consider not using any smaller garbage bags, and just dumping any trash either straight into a big trash bag, or into a small trash bin with no bag inside, and just rinsing it after dumping everything into a larger trash bin

Food & Water

• If you can, grow your own food. The Square Foot Gardening book is highly recommended.
• For grocery shopping, get reusable 100% cotton produce bags and try to avoid processed food or food wrapped in plastic, make your own pasta, bread, tomato sauce, and more.
• Use a reusable metal water bottle.
• When you're ready, invest in a good quality grain mill such as the KoMo Tyrol Classic, and some soft and hard white wheat grains.
• If one is nearby, shop at bulk stores that let you bring your own containers to fill again and again.
• When buying any type of cheese, ALWAYS buy a block of cheese, never pre-shredded. Not only is it horrible for making sauces, but It's also covered in microplastics and other chemicals.
• Always bring a reusable shopping bag.

Personal Care

• In the shower, swap body wash for a bar of soap with natural ingredients. For hair, massaging the scalp under warm water then rinsing with cold water is better for hair health, but if you still want shampoo and conditioner, try the TANIT shampoo and conditioner bars or a similar product.
• Invest in a 100% cotton towel set when you're able.
• Use a bamboo toothbrush and TANIT toothpaste tablets instead of toothpaste in a plastic tube.
• Try this Hand Soap Set by Also Green, it's really good.
• Use a safety razor with replaceable metal blades for minimal waste.
• Use bamboo or silk dental floss.
• Use a natural deodorant such as this one from TANIT.
• For toilet paper, only buy brands that wrap theirs in paper, such as Who Gives A Crap.

Clothes

• Wear socks as little as possible, it's better for the health of your feet.
• When you do wear socks, choose 100% cotton.
• For all other clothing too, try to find pieces made from 100% cotton.
• Consider buying all your clothes secondhand as a cheaper option that still minimizes plastic waste.

Laundry

• Find a laundry basket woven from natural materials instead of one made from plastic.
• Wash clothes in cold water and air dry them whenever possible instead of using the dryer.
• Use Also Green Laundry Sheets as a zero-waste alternative to liquid detergent.

Bedding

• Use bamboo sheets such as these ones from Douglas.
• Also try to find a natural duvet, pillow, and mattress if you can afford it.
