The first page of a bullet journal, commonly known as the index or table of contents, is where you keep track of what's inside your journal. It’s the go-to page whenever you need to find a specific entry or note.
To create an index, start by numbering each page in your journal. Then, on the first page, write down topic headers or "collections" (e.g., monthly logs, weekly spreads, habit trackers, future logs, etc.) followed by their corresponding page numbers. Be sure to leave enough space for future entries as you add them to your journal.
Some people like to get creative with their index pages by adding embellishments, illustrations or using different colored pens or highlighters. In addition to the index page, you can also use the first page to introduce yourself or to set intentions for the journal.
Remember that the first page sets the tone for your entire bullet journal, so it's important to make it personal and meaningful to you. Whether you prefer simple or elaborate designs, the first page of your bullet journal should be a reflection of your style, goals and aspirations.
