I'll add an 8th must have item and say those rounded corner cuter devices. It makes your life so much easier when attaching paper in your bullet journal or cutting paper in your bujo. It is also perfect for card making as well! The uses are endless !!
Love this! My favorite pens have become the Frixion erasable pens - specifically the multi pen with 4 colors. My plans change a good bit and I love color coding things so those pens are my favorite. I also love the Pentel Energel and Pilot G2 pens - classics for me. I agree that Archer & Olive has the absolute best notebooks, hands down. Thanks for a great video. Going to have to look up those book dart things, that was cool.
Would love to see a part two! Your favorite scissors, adhesive tape runners, correction tape or fluid, sticky notes, etc. Also- what are those hexagonal pen holders in the beginning?!
What is gsm What’s the best size What’s the best type of paper, lined, plain, or graph What is the best book on bullet journaling As a beginner what is the main purpose of a bullet journal over a conventional journal
The original bullet journal method is by Ryder Carroll, but any style or spread that works for you is what I find the best, ham is the weight thickness of the paper =grams per square cm, the higher the gsm basically the more paint, ink, water it can take Style is what you like working writing painting drawing in the best my favorite is for grid helps keep everything straight without the heavy lines, I can’t draw a straight line! I combine daily schedule planning , to do, thoughts in one journal I use daily plus a reading journal and a cooking -recipe journal has recently been added! A BJ or any is whatever you want and need it to be, enjoy!
GSM is how thick the paper is. Most paper is 80 - 160. The higher the number the thicker the paper. The style of paper is up to you. Whatever you think will work best. And experiment - it’s the only way to see. The method is the biggest difference. It involves a lot of little points from different types of journaling and task taking.
My favourite thing to use in my bullet journal is a fountain pen. Another handy thing in my collection is a Uniball Signo in white; handy for covering over little mistakes. These are just about the best white gel pens you can buy.
Great list! I'd recommend Midori Chiratto Index Clips - they are super thin like the darts but they protrude only a couple of millimeters which makes it slightly easier to skip to that page. Also: the Uni Jetstream 4&1 (4 color inks + 0.5mm mechanical pencil) which comes in 0.38, 0.5 and 0.7mm pen options.
Thanks for that reply I’m starting to get spoiled up I think I’m going with all 3 types plain, ruled, and graph I bought the bullet journal method book so all I need to do know is read it I’ve obtained some of the tools from your video and starting to learn how to use them Thanks for your help
That’s awesome! Def read the book and get a good overview. Then you can work with the book to set it up. And I’m excited for you to explore more stationery. Glad this was helpful
At school in the ‘70s in the UK we progressed from pencil straight to fountain pen and we were taught the ruler flip as standard. We were not allowed to use ballpoint pens as we were told after your first page you were never writing on a smooth surface.
Oh wow. I’ve heard that from alot of my UK friends. I love that it was a part of school. I was just telling my girls how they need to learn cursive because they don’t teach it anymore and it’s a good skill.
I really need to give the Uniball gel pens a try. So far my favorite pen to write with in my bujo has been a Pentel Energel S .7. The ink seems to flow so smoothly, and it's very black. It also seems to dry very quickly. But it wouldn't hurt for me to be open to other ideas.
How do you manage to use so much of stationary often enough to justify owning and buying so much stationary? I totally love stationary and would love to own as much as you, but I also would love to make more use and better use of my supplies.
@@markyourpages no my point was actually positive. You do a great job of using up your supplies and not sticking to 1 or 2 of your favorites all the time.
Currently working with PaperMate InkJoy pen 100 0.7 F and Muji gelpen 0.5mm. The first one for thinner paper as it tends to push through the ticker paper, the gelpen for A&O notebooks. I'm mostly using A&O, but also notebooks with thinner paper if I care about design a little less: Dingbats for ideas and thoughts (on the go), Mijn Bullet Journal (Dutch brand) 5-year one line a day and Bullet Journal 2.0 for my goals. I don't want to be precious about this the way I am with A&O journals. Also a ruler, Stabilo light grey point 88 and Tombow Dual Brush Pens are favorites.
I will add - find a book that has acid free paper and use archival ink of you want the books to stick around. Otherwise, Archer & Olive and Notebook Therapy will work if you don’t mean to keep any archival records/notes. ❤
The notebook is from Archer and Olive. They have a line of squares. I also just released my own square design with them. Check them out, and if you like them, use code MARKYOURPAGES10 and you can save an extra 10% off

Those are fun!
The other pen that won't smudge under a highlighter is a Uni Pin Fine Line! So good! Also have you tried the new Uni Lakubo? Great pen!
Good add

Every time that highlighter smeared the ink🙀

Mark, for a great journal with wonderful paper try Oops a Daisy. Very white and very thick. Best 160gsm paper I’ve used.
It's really nice! I just got some of their stuff and I am really impressed.

A 6B pencil is invaluable for writing on plastic and washi. No smudging and it doesn't rub off.
That's a great tip! Thank you

The music you opened up with reminds me of the Serial podcast if you ever listened to that. I like it :)
I knew it sounded familiar but I couldn’t figure out what it was!!! Omg you are so right. Haha

Definitely a good feature to consider.
i use a micron pen and dot markers
Great pens
never knew writing could be so smooth - the Uni-ball Signo is a dream, thanks for recommending it!
It's so good! Glad you are loving it
Please try the Frixion pens. Think they come in 0.5 and 0.7. I like the 0.5. So easy to erase mistakes if made!
I have a few pens and markers too.
Sam's Club have specials quite often on the Mild Liners! Love em.
Yes they do - a great place to pick up stationery
What notebook is that orange one . And do they come in other colors ive been looking for a squard bujo

Hi, sorry to bother but where can I get that Journalier notebook ?
Thanks in advance
Not a bother - and unfortunately they went out of business.

Thank you
