There’s So Much Room for Activities!
Whether you have been using a bullet journal for a day or a few years, then you know collections are freaking awesome. Dailies and monthlies are great. Future logs are super handy. Indexes? Wildly useful. But collections allow you to push past planning and into the more wild possibilities of a free form journal. You can dream of a different life, brainstorm new projects, or just get creative! So I’ve put together a list of 15 bullet journal collections that you need to try to really get the most out of your journal!
What is a Bullet Journal Collection?
A collection is a category page in your bullet journal that covers a specific problem or topic. This can take the form of a tracker, log, or simply a list. Collections allow you to better organize your bullet journal without worry about it getting too disorganized and scattered.

Robin says
Shelby,
First off thank you for sharing your knowledge. Second, my Mom’s name is Shelby. She was always in charge of the VBS crafts at our church and she was a preschool teacher. She did this for over 20 years until cancer took her energy and then her life. She loved doing all these creative things. I guess I got it genuine from the genes. I look forward to working in your library of fun.
Little Coffee Fox Team says
Thanks for being here Robin! What a great legacy and way to remember you mom ❤️
Denise Lee Ling says

Little Coffee Fox Team says
That is so great! Thanks for reading Denise!
Gay Ferland says

Little Coffee Fox Team says
Thanks a million, Gay! I love that you are having so much fun!
Monica Rose says
I’m 87 years young. I worked with my husband over 55 years, and he always pointed out that I was unorganized and I still am. Your journals are terrific and give me new hope. I’m going to prove you can teach an old dog new tricks. Your grocery list journal really intreges me.
Little Coffee Fox Team says
I love this Monica! You are right, you absolutely can learn, no matter what age.
Marie Ekoka says
I’ve been going through a lot of your posts and FINALLY I have found the courage to start my bullet journal (it’s been waiting on my desk for a while). Especially the water color test was helpful. Thanks for all the inspiration! I need to ask you about what type ogf pen/ ink you used for the headline on the Christmas gifft list. I NEED that!
Little Coffee Fox Team says
Hey Marie! So happy to hear you’ve started your bullet journal. The gold lettering was done by embossing. You can read more about it here: https://littlecoffeefox.com/2016/12/08/organized-christmas-list/
Joana says
I love your spreads, and I am especially interested in the 100 ways to increase creativity. It is super interesting how “dress well”, “do timed exercises” and “have a picnic” are there.
How would you think those develop creativity?
I have just started my own blog on ways to develop an artistic mind, jothemonster.com , that’s why I’m being so nosy 🙂
Cheers!
Shelby | Little Coffee Fox says
That’s a great question, Joana! Being creative is easiest when you are happy and healthy, and things like going outside and dressing in something other than sweats helps a homebody like me get a more well-rounded day. And timed exercises is a drawing exercise where you set a timer for a minute or five minutes, then try to sketch a subject. It’s a good way to get you to focus on the overall picture instead of the details. I hope that helps clarify a bit!
Anick says
I really like your idea of the recipe list! Old favorites next to recipes we’d like to try! I think I have to try it!
Shelby | Little Coffee Fox says
I’m so glad you like it, Anick! That collection has definitely been a valuable one for me. I hope you give it a try and love it as much as I do!
