Fix mistakes with correction tape

Since you cannot remove pages, correction tape is quite helpful. It is not one of those items that HAVE to be on your bullet journal supplies list but it is useful if you have the budget for it.

Use sticky notes to add content, hide areas, or just add color

Sticky notes (Post-it notes) come in all colors and shapes. You can use them to add content, hide areas or just add color. You can also use them to plan a layout before you start drawing.

Use tabs to mark pages

Tabs help you find pages quickly and add a pop of color. It saves you searching for pages that you access often.

Use stencils to draw objects

PinBullet Journal stencils help you draw elements in seconds. They are not only a time saver but the drawings will often look better when done with a stencil than when drawn freehand.
