## Considerations
|
|
{{< back_to_top >}}
|
|
|
|
When it comes to [Bullet Journals](https://bulletjournal.com/) the biggest and only consideration is: "does it work for you?".
|
|
|
|
There are many bullet journal examples readily available for review and inspiration. The hard part is figuring out which elements work best for you, the individual.
|
|
|
|
## Does It Work?
|
|
{{< back_to_top>}}
|
|
|
|
BuJo works for a great many people but *not* everybody. If you find yourself struggling to engage with paper or if you find aspects of your setup tedious in a bad way, it may be time to consider making changes.
|
|
|
|
BuJo isn't a rigid system and it's loose. This can be a very good and very bad thing. It's a "Doubly edged sword" type of situation. Some people do really well with "loose" and others do not.
|
|
|
|
Definitely consider how you use a BuJo and if it feels like it's too much effort or even off putting or if you can't seem to find a way to adapt it to your needs, you will definitely want to consider alternatives.
|
|
|
|
Please note: it can take well over a week to find frustration points with a BuJo, give it a good try before giving up.

## Learning Curve
|
|
{{< back_to_top >}}
|
|
|
|
Due to the open ended nature of analog organizers there can be a learning curve. Bullet Journal doesn't have a steep learning curve but the sheer volume of different approaches can be a big problem for getting under way.
|
|
|
|
It may be wise to start with a pre-made, mass produced Bullet Journal instead of trying to forge your own path from the start.
|
|
|
|
If you want to jump right in, KemoNine would advise looking for examples online, picking a few to try and starting as soon as you have your supplies.

## Where To Start?
|
|
{{< back_to_top >}}
|
|
|
|
Starting with the main [website](https://bulletjournal.com/) is a good choice. From there: internet searches should turn up some good ideas on how to build a BuJo that may work for you.
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of how to guides, videos and more on bullet journaling and applying it to varied arts, crafts, sciences and more. It's all about finding a notebook flow that works for the way you think.
