Bullet Journaling Pro Tips

Ink Ghosting: If you are using heavy ink or markers, use a very light dot color to ensure the grid doesn't bleed through your visual design.
Binding Margin: If you plan to punch holes, increase the left margin in Page Margins to at least 15mm to avoid cutting through your dots.
