The basis for a bullet journal is an empty notebook with dotted paper.
A bullet journal has a fixed basis that you can then further personalize.
Some people spend a lot of time personalizing their bullet journal and decorating it with hand lettering, doodles, complicated diagrams and drawings... that is possible, but not necessary.
The more you do with your journal, the more adept you become at it.
Who is a bullet journal for?
