At the beginning of summer, the days are long & endless…I always feel like I have all the time in the world. Not much to stress about, time slows down…then I blink and before I know it, it’s August and we are back to school shopping.

August is the start of a busier season, days feel shorter and life feels lived on  fast forward mode.  It’s a season of many changes, new routines, fall festivals, fundraisers, endless supply lists…so many new adventures. It’s not a bad season – its a busy season.  To make it thru this season I have created a Bullet Style To Do List;  a weekly list which helps keep track of the many events happening in our lives.

While I love my planner, I realize not everyone is into them. So I have created a Bullet Style List on my planner and on a sheet of notebook paper. Both are very useful. Both are extremely creative ways to create organization in your life. ( a disclaimer – don’t feel like you have to be super creative and perfect to make a Bullet Style To Do list). Just spend time crating one for you, as you practice they improve. But do spend time creating and improving- there is a therapeutic quality to making them that is really good for reliving stress.

Printables & Hand-Lettering

I am all about getting organized and getting things on track – but it has to be fun! As a creative person I have found such an appreciation for Bullet Style Journaling and Writing -it’s such a fun way to keep track of important information. Writing stuff down on paper helps me remember them more. It is also a stress relief process for me -I feel like I am transferring all of my stress to the paper and because I have written it down, I don’t have to worry or stress about it. I just look at the list and check off one item at a time.

Pens

I love to get creative with my lists. I use different types of hand lettering for each, colors & concepts -I try to make it as fun as possible. Enter the Pilot Pen. This is a great tool to use to make your Bullet Style To Do List! Pilot has some amazingly awesome pens – like the Pilot Precise Rolling Ball Pen from Michaels, which I’m sure you’ve used before. The Pilot Precise Rolling Pen comes in different of colors, writes really well, and is the number #1 selling pen brand in America. You can see all the Pilot Pen options here.

While back to School supply shopping at Michaels, I bought some Pilot Precise Rolling Ball pens and I quickly fell in love with them- the precision point is perfect for bullet and dot journaling, and adding hand-lettering glam to my planner. They are definitely designed to deliver a premium, precision writing experience. Precise combines Pilots exceptionally smooth writing ink, premium metal accents, and iconic look for a truly sophisticated writing experience.

Tutorial

Okay so here we go, time for you to get creative and try it for yourself. I am including a couple of printables for you at the end of this post. Print them and practice your hand-lettering by tracing the words. The more you practice the better your hand-lettering will get. This is all about color, all about fun -use different color Pilot Precise Rolling Pen, markers, stickers, paints…just make it fun and attractive to you. If it brings you joy, you will use it more.
