What are they and how to make collections in the Bullet Journal?
Collections are pages intended to write information about an important aspect of our life of which we want to keep a specific record, separate from the rest of the daily information, either to be able to consult it more easily or to have all the information in detail in one page. pages.
I divide the collections into three categories:
- Annual collection: serve for a period of one full year
- Monthly collection: they serve for an entire month, the following month they can be repeated or not depending on whether they are necessary
- Temporary collection: used for a specific season. For example, let's imagine that we want to save X money to buy a new mobile phone and we make a collection to save that money. By the time we have managed to save that amount of money, the collection will no longer have meaning, it will have already fulfilled its function.
There are countless collections, as many as there are needs. I have created a list of collections in 2024 for your BuJo with some examples of the most common ones. Below is the list of bullet journal ideas in Spanish.
Annual collections
They are pages designed to track a specific topic. There are many types of annual collections and I leave you an example of a few so you can add to your Bullet Journal:
1. Books to read
One of the most common collections that we can find in the world of Bullet Journaling is that of books to read. In it we can write down all the books we read during the year and rate them.
2. Series to watch
A very fashionable collection lately. We are all super hooked on Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime..., so I present to you the collection of series that we have yet to see or that we have already seen and want to rate. Pen in hand and don't miss any recommendations! Every time someone recommends one to you, write it down in your BuJo.
3. Movies
This collection would be the same as the previous one, but instead of series, we would write down films that we want to see and we could rate them once we have seen them.
4. Gift ideas
This collection is ideal for those people who don't know what to give or who always get caught up in the bull. The idea is that when you are with the person in question and they tell you something they want or like, you write it down so that when their birthday or some special occasion arrives, you know what to give them. You can use it both during the year and in a specific month such as Christmas.
5. Board games
For lovers of board games this collection is essential. We can also differentiate the type of game (roll game, cooperative, competitive, etc.), and we can rate it according to our criteria.
6. The best infusions
If you are one of those who always wants to try a new infusion, don't miss out on this collection in which you will be a true taster of new flavors.
If, on the other hand, you are not a big fan of infusions, you can adapt it to other things that you love. For example, you could do the same but with beers, chocolates, wines and a long list of things.
7. Personal care products
Taking care of yourself is important and for this there is this idea of a personal care collection, where we write down those essential products in our routine that we try or that we like the most. In addition, there is the possibility of adding a legend where we write down some symbols that describe our products. Example: If we especially like its packaging, if it is cheap or if it is used up quickly.
8. Playlist
Don't let all those songs escape you that you liked the most during that year or that marked you for something in particular. This way when you look back at your bujos you will be able to know which songs were from each moment of your life.
9. Annual calendar
One of the most used collections, the annual calendar is used to locate the days of the month or week without having to look at other devices such as the computer or mobile phone. You can download our annual calendar completely free (click on the link or image).
Other annual collection ideas that you can also use in your Bullet Journal:
10. Pets
The collection dedicated to our life companions cannot be missing from the bujo of someone with a pet. In it you can write down, for example, when they go to the grooming salon, when they get treatment pills, when they go to the vet... Everything that has to do with our pets, whatever their species. Thus, when you have to consult something about them, you directly go to these pages and have all the information gathered.
11. Personal care routine
12. Weight control
This collection is very useful when you are carrying out an observation of your weight and measurements with a specific purpose. In it you write down your weight at the beginning of the month, the kilos lost and those you still have to gain or lose until you reach your goal. We separate them by the months of the year that we are going to control and on the next sheet we write down the same, but the dimensions of the chest, waist and hips. Not everything is the scale!
Note*: The titles of the boxes can be modified depending on our intention and priority, adapting to each body.
13. Cleaning and home
Annual collection to write down when, for example, we last cleaned the windows. That is, it helps you have information about the last time you did a household task that is not done very frequently.
We leave you an example with a list of tasks that you can write down and thus see, for example, when was the last day you thoroughly did the cooking. It seems stupid, but it's super practical!
14. Future registration
The idea of a future registry is to have all the events of the year, or at least the most important ones, available in a single view and to be taken into account at a single glance. Future journaling is a key component of the Bullet Journal system and allows us to plan for the future, basically.
Monthly collections
15. Monthly cleaning:
For all those people who like to organize household chores and clean it. We leave you an example with a list of tasks that you can write down and see, for example, when was the last day you used a washing machine or when it was time to run the bathroom. It seems stupid, but it's super practical!
*You can write down weekly or even daily what tasks you have to do. If you have mopped, when you put on the washing machines, when you clean the refrigerator, when you change the sheets, etc. This gives you invaluable information at the end of the month. For example, if you are replacing your mattress and need to buy new sheets, you can decide how many sets of sheets you need to buy if you know how often you usually wash them.
16. Good habits
What better than taking care of yourself and keeping good control of our habits. They can be many and very different depending on your lifestyle. In the following image you can see a few in case you want to get ideas.
17. Hours of sleep
Sleep is very important and necessary for a healthier life, so this sleep tracker will help you know if you are getting enough sleep.
18. Work/study hours
For all those people who are studying or preparing for exams…. This collection will help you a lot to organize your study hours. If, on the other hand, you are working on something where you need to keep track of the hours you dedicate, this template will be great for you.
19. Period
Female tracker that cannot be missing in your Bujo. Super recommended template for any woman who wants to write down everything related to her period, something very important if you suffer from imbalances or if you are trying to get pregnant. In it you can write down if you are taking any medication and the day you take it and the most fertile days in case you are looking for a baby.
20. Expense control
Do you want to control your savings and expenses monthly? So this collection is highly recommended. We leave you a template already created by Marion, from Sweet Sweet Journal where you can write everything down and not let a single cent escape from your piggy bank!
21. Monthly challenge
There is nothing more fun than challenges! They can also be very varied, you just need to set your mind to something and decide that in that month you will be able to achieve it. Let's get to work, with this collection you will then be able to look back on your bujo and feel satisfaction for having achieved what you set out to do at the time.
22. Play list
The “play list” collection is based on writing a list of your favorite songs of the month, of the year or at any time. It's fun to look back at your playlist to see what you were listening to at the time.
23. Brain dump
Collection that is difficult to explain but very easy to use and above all, very practical when you get used to using it.
Ideally, next to each annotation you add when the task is completed and, most critically, identify which of those items are important and which are urgent, since those are the ones we must complete first.
24. Physical activity/sport
Collection of specific planning for the physical activity or sport you practice.
If you want to get in shape and above all you want to record and document how you are doing it, this section is made for you. It is not specific to keep track of weight, but to control the exercise that we do or intend to do.
25. Objectives/prize
One of the things you can do if you want to achieve a goal is to set some prizes for yourself when you achieve them. It is a form of motivation that is not highly recommended, but depending on what situations it can work.
At Sweet Sweet we know how important time is to you, so we design printable templates to organize you (planners, covers, collections...). Discover how to save time by clicking on the following button.
