About this deal

I am extremely late to the party with this review. Today I want to talk about the Leuchtturm bullet journal. This is the original “official” bullet journal notebook made from a collaboration between Ryder Caroll and Leuchtturm. Since writing this post Leuchtturm has released a new updated version of the Bullet Journal notebook. As I mentioned in the pros section, there can be some ghosting with certain pens. At 80 gsm, this is to be expected. It doesn’t bother me at all, but I know some people have complained that they had to switch journals because it was so annoying. If you are irritated by ghosting, then bear this in mind! Okay, so this is the big one. Do you actually need to buy the Leuchtturm bullet journal? The bullet journal is a system, not a notebook. That’s what makes it so flexible compared to a planner. You can choose the type, size and cost that you want. Yes, you can buy the official Leuchtturm1917 bullet journal. But if you used some other notebook it would still be a bullet journal system that you were using in it.

The Leuchtturm1917 journals come in a huge variety of colors, and they are all delightful. I absolutely love every single color I have ever used, and I’ve never gotten the same color twice. If you’re looking for a journal to have a specific color, chances are that Leuchtturm1917 has you covered. While the paper isn’t graded as particularly heavy duty, it can still take quite a bit of abuse. Over the last few years I have used watercolors, brush pens, and fountain pens (just to name a few) in my Leuchtturm1917 journals, and the journal always survived. I even created a massive watercolor test for the Leuchtturm, and it passed with flying colors! I haven’t experienced any bleeding from normal pens or even fountain pens. While there can be a bit of ghosting, it’s never bothered me one bit. For various reasons I have been working on this post for the last 18 months. It’s not really because I think this review is especially important, I’ve just had a lot going on. But it has been interesting writing a review based on more than two years of use. Sometimes I worry that I’m being too critical, but honestly, it’s just a notebook. Like I said at the start, this particular notebook has been through a lot since I first bought it. It even inspired one of my honours level projects.The Leuchtturm Bullet Journal is an A5 dot gridded notebook. Released in collaboration with Ryder Caroll, this notebook has been made to be specifically used as a bullet journal. Design-wise it is very similar to the regular Leuchtturm1917 notebooks which I have used (and reviewed) many times in the past. Okay, so it’s obvious that I love this journal. But as with any product, it isn’t totally perfect and there are a few cons that are worth noting before you buy one. Price Once you get your hands on a Leuchtturm1917 journal, I have a feeling that you will love it. The quality is incredible and it just feels so luxurious to write in every day. In fact, I can confidently say that my bullet journal habit became much easier to establish once I switched to a Leuchtturm1917 for the first time. Once I felt that bliss of using excellent materials, I was drawn to using them every day, which led me down a very positive path. I’m not saying this journal will change your life, but I’m not saying it won’t, either. If you’re comfortable spending a little extra money on this great notebook, I know you will appreciate that investment every time you write in your Leuchtturm!

Also had a problem with the cover. Usually, the Leuchttrum1917 notebooks can hold up well to use. They can really take a beating before the cover starts to look worn. At least this has been my experience based on the other Leuchttrum notebooks I’ve used. However the material on the cover of the Leuchtturm bullet journal seemed to be different, it may have something to do with the embossing on the cover or a different material was used. The dots on the dotted paper are printed in a very light grey. I think this is one of the reasons why I like the Lecuhtturm1917 notebooks so much. The dots are dark enough to be visible, but not so dark that they become a distraction. Cost of the Leuchtturm1917 Bullet Journal Bullet journals are a combination of a daily planner, diary and to-do list. They allow you to record goals, thoughts, inspiration, achievements and reflections in an organised and creative way. Not only are bullet journals ideal for keeping your everyday life organised and stress free, but they are also an effective way of changing habits and reaching goals. Something that is pretty dang cool about the Leuchtturm1917 is that you can get a few different types of paper styles. Of course, there are plain and ruled journals — everyone sells those. Leuchtturm1917 also has a graph paper version of their journal and a dot grid version! Colors Galore I can’t describe the smell of a brand new Leuchtturm1917 journal. All I can say is that I love it and need to smell it for the rest of my life. Grid VarietiesI think the Leuchtturm1917 notebooks are great. They don’t get damaged easily and they last a long time. But you need to consider the extras that come with the bullet journal edition and decide if they are a must-have component. Finally

I originally bought this notebook in the before-times (January 2020) for my dissertation module. A lot has happened since then and this notebook has been at my side for a good part of the last 2 years. So today I want to share some of my thoughts on the Leuchtturm bullet journal notebook and help you decide if it is worth the money. Leuchtturm1917 Bullet Journal Notebook Review About the Leuchtturm1917 Bullet Journal Considering the very small differences between the original and bullet journal Leuchtturm1917 notebooks it really comes down to personal preference and what you need from a notebook. If you’re having trouble deciding your idea features I have a whole post on different factors to consider when buying notebooks.
