Bullet Journal KeyBullet Journal Symbols

The bullet journal system uses symbols, referred to as signifiers, to give your entries additional content. The idea is to quickly capture your thoughts and categorize them into notes, events, and tasks. Once you have done that, you can prioritize them and focus on what is important and meaningful to you.

We have prepared a Bullet Journal cheat-sheet that contains a list of symbols below that you can use when you draw your journal or if you create it with our free bullet journal app. You can download the cheat sheet to reference when required. You can download it as a PDF or an image (png). Please note that you can personalize the key/cheat sheet before you print it. You can edit the text, change the icons, and add additional symbols and text.

Ryder Carroll, who developed the Bullet Journal Method ® (or BuJo® for short), only gives a few examples. These are the signifiers that he suggests we use.

 

Tasks

• = Task

X = Task Complete

> = Task Migrated

< = Task Scheduled

Events

Events – “O”

Notes

Notes  – “–”

 

In addition to the above Bullet Journal symbols, you are encouraged to create your own key symbols. On the other hand, Ryder Carroll does suggest that you don’t use too many symbols. If you have too many symbols, it might complicate the system and thus defeat the purpose.

We have five different Bullet Journal key sheets for you to download. You can customize each sheet if you want to change the symbols, text, or add your own.

  1. A list of the official symbols provided by Ryder Carrol on a bookmark. You can add additional symbols from our gallery.
  2. A list of the official symbols provided by Ryder Carrol on a dot grid background
  3. As above, but with a blank background
  4. A list of the official symbols with some additional suggested symbols that you can edit. You can add, delete, change the symbols and explanations.
  5. As above, but with a blank background
