♡ What is A BuJo: An Introduction

♡ What Materials Can I Use In Making My BuJo Spread?

♡ Benefits of Having A BuJo

How are you doing lovelies? As you can see from the title, I am writing about two types of spreads. This is my 4/5 Journal Series.

Before the technology era, people use cut-outs from magazines or books to create a beautiful art. However, the seasons are changing so does the technology too - it is evolving up until this day. Both are actually pretty good to do. If you are torn between keeping a digital or traditional bujo, this might help you so without further ado, I'll start to tackle the positive and negative sides of these types. It is up to you what suits you best to you.

Handwritten BuJo

☆ Meaning you can feel, see, and touch the spread you are making. It is very satisfying to see the output of your work. Also, you can actually appreciate the effort you put on it as you create your masterpiece!

☆ You are limitless to choose the elements you'll put in your spread. Everything can be your resources as an element - for example, ephemera that you can pick anywhere like a receipt, ticket, or pressed flower. It is simple to cut out in magazines and books too. You can always create and improvise your own element/s.

☆ You don't necessarily need gadgets to create your elements. You can buy from a local stationery store or draw. I don't restrict you from using gadgets for printing images, printable stickers, and etcetera. Just lessen the time you spend with your gadgets because long exposure to blue light can harm you.

☆ Compared to digital bullet journaling, it takes too much time and energy. You will need to consume time and effort to cut, make, and adhere the elements on the paper or notebook.

☆ Yup. You cannot avoid buying materials you want to put in your spread. Stickers, adhesive materials, and pens are used to create a superb spread. Some people tend to collect and store stationeries and I tell you, it is thrifty.

☆ Well, a variety of choices can overwhelm you. What's insane about being overwhelmed is that it is very confusing what stationery to use especially if you own a large stationery collection. It is not bad to have a lot of choices, but sometimes it tends to confuse you to pick out the most suitable materials you need.

Digital BuJo

☆ You just got to pick up your gadgets to start working. Cutting, gluing, and setting up your workplace is not a problem anymore. You can always start anytime easily. You can also make and edit your spread even when you are travelling and waiting. It is more productive than the first one especially when you are full of ideas, you are not interrupted since you can bring your gadget anywhere. In addition, you can compile your works in a folder to preserve it longer. (Plus you can pick the hue of the color you preferred easily!!)

☆ If you are doing in a notebook or paper, you must know and measure what you put and write because covering a mistake is challenging to deal with (but do not worry, I will make a blog regarding ways to cover your mistakes). When you are creating your spread digitally, you can always undo it, re-type, move, and edit the details you do not want and the errors that you accidentally created.

☆ Having a paperless method is a good way to save a tree! Additionally, climate change is a very common problem of the environment. It would mean much if we try to avoid polluting our environment. Even in the smallest ways, we can help our environment to be preserved.

☆ This is the problem: if shortage or brown-out occurs and you are using a PC, it is a problem especially if you have not saved your work yet! AhhhhhcccK! It is a problem. You will probably consume electricity doing your digital bujo.

☆ Blue light will cause bad health. It will strain your eyes if you use a gadget for so long. Did you know that we must use our phone for approximately 2~3 hours only. We need to take care of our sight. Having a poor sight is not fun at all (based on my experience). Also, sitting for a long time can cause you back pain. Take care of our health guys! Again, health is wealth!

☆ Tip: when you are using your phone for a long time, rest your eyes by exercising your eyes - move it in circular motion; look far - preferably to the greens such as trees; and if you watch movies or series, watch on laptop rather than on your cell phone.

☆ If you do not possess a good gadget which is good in editing, it is a problem to use digital bullet journaling since you might need to edit the elements or make them. Digital bullet journaling also needs skills to make your own materials.
