![]() ![]() The tradeoff, though, is that there are only 204 numbered pages in this journal, a significant decrease from 251 pages in a standard Leuchtturm notebook. ![]() One one hand, the thicker pages in Edition 2-120 GSM (grams per square meter, a measure of paper weight) as opposed to 80 GSM in a regular Leuchtturm-feel very nice, and I do notice less ghosting (writing visible through the back side of a page), although that never bothered me much in the first place. It does mean there are two fewer squares in the grid in each vertical and horizontal direction, if that matters to you. I tend to write from the top to the bottom of the page without much regard for the margins, anyway. This isn’t a bad feature, it just doesn’t make much difference to me. Also, the page numbers are now centered above this bullet, which is a nice touch. For my other Collections, I want to color-code this bullet somehow, I just haven’t nailed down my system yet. Although I don’t do my Daily Reflection/Monthly Migration exactly like the original Bullet Journal method, I’ve still found it useful to X out this bullet on my Daily Log pages when I’ve completed all my tasks. I am still figuring out how I want to use this feature, but I love the idea of a single bullet that you can use to determine, at a glance, whether a page requires your attention in the moment or what it’s for. The Smart Grid might be the single most compelling reason to choose this notebook over another one, in my opinion. It’s drastically cut down on my time spent counting dots and is intuitive to use once I identified the extra dots. Subtle dots at the inner and bottom edge of each page’s grid allow you to quickly divide a page into halves or thirds (or quarters, or sixths…). This is one of my favorite features in Edition 2. ![]() What I see as a not-so-great feature might be a plus for you! Note: These ratings are just my opinion, shared to hopefully give you some insight into whether you might like this notebook. The official Bullet Journal is a modification of this style.īelow, I’ll break down the features of the official Bullet Journal and how I feel about them (“Good,” “Meh,” or “Bad”), comparing them to the regular Leuchtturm A5 if relevant. In the past, I’ve used the regular Leuchtturm1917 A5 dot grid notebook as my bullet journal, so that’s my point of reference. This notebook is currently sold out, but it’s set to restock soon, so I hope this review is helpful to anyone thinking about buying it! I managed to snag a blush pink notebook and I’ve been using it for a little over a month now. When (Bullet Journal creator) Ryder Carroll unveiled the official Bullet Journal Edition 2 late last year, I knew I had to try it. But I encourage you to check it out, if you’re interested!) (This is probably a good time to mention that if you aren’t familiar with the Bullet Journal method, the rest of this post probably won’t make much sense to you. But I’ve never discussed my materials, because really, all you need to start a bullet journal is a notebook and a writing utensil. I’ve been bullet journaling for several years now and have blogged about my practice a couple times. ![]()
