Remember that creating a journal shouldn't be a pre-set design. Using the Bullet Journal principles you can create a journal that suits your needs best. So your journal will look different from mine because we have different requirements.
I recommend spending a bit of time thinking about what you need and why. Use the "Building Your Bullet Journal" worksheet from Lecture 4 to help you expand on this idea.
We'll dive into these in more detail afterwards.
