Dot grid paper is one of the easiest foundations for a bullet journal because it supports text, tables, and drawings without heavy lines.
If you’re new to dot grid, start here:
5 simple page ideas
1) Weekly spread (two pages)
- left page: tasks + appointments
- right page: notes + priorities
2) Habit tracker
Make a small table with days across the top and habits down the side.
3) Project page
Use a title + checklist + “next actions” box.
4) Reading list
Table columns:
- Title
- Author
- Start date
- Rating
5) Meal plan
Draw a 7-row table and keep it minimal. The goal is repeatability, not decoration.
Printing tip
Bullet journals look best when dot spacing is consistent. Print at Actual Size / 100% and match A4 vs Letter to your template.
