What Do I Put in My Bullet Journal?

-
            After you have made your bullet journal, you may wonder, "What do I put in this?" I can help answer this question, just continue reading. There are so many different types of spreads, like weekly spreads, yearly spreads, chore charts, habit trackers, just to name a few. Down below I am going to show you different types of spreads and how to use them.

Weekly Spreads:


These spreads are probably the most used in my bullet journal. This layout allows you to view all your tasks and events for the week. Depending on how you organize it, you can have space for all seven days of the week and a box for next week. They can be decorated to look super cute making it fun to complete tasks.

Yearly Spreads:

This spread is used to show the entire year and any main events that you want to remember each month. Also great to put people's birthdays. This part of your bullet journal can work similarly to a calendar. The yearly spread may also be called a future log.
Yearly Spread

Monthly Log:

These spreads are super handy when coming to planning out events during the month. You can write notes for the month, and make note of all tasks due and events.



Habit Tracker:

The habit tracker spread is used to help develop good habits like staying organized, keeping clean, and staying fit. This spread normally consists of some sort of graph where you can graph your practice of each habit.

Wishlists/ Shopping Lists:

These spreads are very self-explanitory. They are just pages where you can write all the stuff you want or need to get.


              Since bullet journals are very personalized anyone can come up with a spread that they want to use or have in their bullet journal. In this post I just named a few ideas but you can go other places to find inspiration for your own spreads. That is the amazing thing that I love about bullet journaling.

Tips and Tricks to Stay Organized

           Many people, including me, find it hard to stay organized. One might set a goal to be organized and they keep up with that goal for a couple of weeks, but then they slowly start to get unorganized. I have compiled this list of tips and tricks to get organized and stay organized. 1. Make a To-Do List             Having a to-do list can make overwhelming days into calm days. Write down every single thing you need to do on a certain day. Include the tiniest of tasks. (ex. Picking out clothes for tomorrow, or filling up your water bottle) After you have everything written down on your list, start completing them one by one. Always start with the easiest tasks first! That way when you get to the harder tasks on your list, you won't be overwhelmed by everything else you have to do. 2. Clean Workspace              Working in a clean space can help you be more productive and not as o...

Plan With Me! April Edition

-

            Every month, most bullet journalists (including me), create a monthly log to plan events for each month of the year. I just wanted to share how I set up my monthly spread for April. Starting off the spread for April, I create a long skinny column on the left page, that I use to show what day of the month belongs to what day of the week. Next, I create a box towards the top of the page where I write all my goals for the month. In the space below the box, I leave alone to decorate later. On the right page of the spread, I start making a mini calendar. It's just a grid that I make with a ruler. My grid for April is 5x7 but that can change from month to month. I create boxes at the top of each column to label with each day of the week. In my calendar, I associate events and tasks with colored dots. Below the calendar grid, I write what each colored dot represents in my calendar. After I have all of the elements of the monthly log I de...

            I have been bullet journaling for over a year now and I have come to prefer certain stationery, so I have compiled a list of my favorite stationary items that I love to use and that I recommend. Leuchtturm 1917 a5 Notebook:                            https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TSIMW4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The Leuchtturm 1917 a5 notebook is my favorite notebook to bullet journal with. I am obsessed with the notebook and I love the dotted pages. It has a built-in index and it already has page numbers printed on them. I find that most of my pens and markers don't bleed through the pages. I definitely recommend this notebook.
