How to Keep Up A Decent Bullet Journal

    First of all, I apologize for not posting for so long. I was just so busy. Since I'm on winter break now, hopefully I can post more often.
    Today's post is going to be about how to start and maintain a decent bullet journal. Depending on what kind of bullet journal you want (minimalist, fancy, aesthetic, etc) this might look a bit different to you, but you can get a general idea. 

Journal consistently
   This is probably the most important thing, because if you get out of the habit you're not going to end up continuing to journal. This has happened to me several times, and I'm hoping that it won't happen again.

Don't compare yours to ones on the Internet. Seriously. Don't do it.
    It will just make you sad and feel like you are awful at bullet journaling even if you really aren't -- you're just not as good as the people on the Internet.
    
It doesn't have to be fancy
    Sure, if you Google 'bullet journal' and click on images, there will be these incredibly fancy pages from bullet journals. However, this does not have to be the same with you. You can literally just have bulleted lists with no doodles, no color. Just a pen and some paper.

Use brush-tip pens
    If you're going to use fancy pens and/or make your bullet journal look like the ones on the Internet, use brush tip pens/markers to write and draw.

Practice
    If you are going to be using calligraphy to write in your bullet journal, you should probably practice before writing in your bullet journal so that it turns out the way you want it to.

    If you have any other tips or suggestions, feel free to add them in the comments!
