Remember when bullet journals were just a notebook and a pen?
I read a stat last week that said the bullet journal hashtag has over 12 million posts now, but back in 2013 when I started, we used a single Leuchtturm and a black Pilot G2, that's it.

That's actually not quite right about the Pilot G2, they didn't really catch on in the bujo community until a couple years later, most of us early on used the Uni-ball Signo or just whatever cheap ballpoint came with the notebook.

I saw some video where someone counted up the cost of a "minimalist" modern bujo setup and it came to like $80 with all the markers, washi tape, and stickers people use now. My first one was literally a $2 composition notebook and whatever pen was lying around. The whole point was to be anti-perfection and just track what you needed. Now it feels more like scrapbooking than planning, which is fine if that's your thing, but it's wild how far it's drifted from Ryder Carroll's original method.
