YAY! I bought a bujo!
When someone told me about bujo, I had not clue, not even when they explained bujo is short for bullet journal.
But once they showed it to me I wanted one, right away. As always I went looking for a blue cover, but ended up with this one. It is more kind of green.
They market two versions, regular, and business, but there is really only one. The difference is the booklet that comes with it. A crash course on what you can do with the bujo. One is more focused on general daily stuff, the other one on planning, business stuff.
What is so great about a bujo? You are not limited by predefined lines, schedules, squares, or other "handy" formats someone else decided on for you. It only has dotted pages.
This makes it perfect to jot down whatever you want. A recipe, a sketch, and idea that pops in your head, two lines of lyrics that can become a song, but also simple to do lists. There is no end to the type of info you can store and the format you use for it.

The idea behind the bujo is not just the freedom of writing something down, keeping track of something, but also to put you in a less digital mood, away from your screen, getting a bit creative. It can easily be a moment of peace and quiet in your hectic day.
