I just started Bullet Journaling… this is something I kind of love to do lately and here are just kind of my favorite things to do with this… There is no right or wrong way to do this… but this is what’s been working for me.
Habit Tracker
This is just one of my favorite things that I’ve been doing… keeping track of what I should be doing. I never really thought this was something I would do because a lot of people have things like “Don’t drink alcohol” and just things… that aren’t necessarily unimportant but it isn’t relevant to me… but then I was like Ohhh I could keep track of doing a lot of blogs, I could write down when I do things like read and meet my step goal and those sorts of things. I just kind of make like a graph type thing and color in every day and I put a little X when I don’t do that thing… and it is weirdly satisfying. I have mine for June already and I made other things… it’s just kind of cool. I was happy with the way it turned out.
Mood Log
A lot of people have mood trackers… I thought maybe writing down how I felt on a particular day would be a little bit more effective for me. It’s easy to do and it’s just a good recap of the day… and a good way to write a little bit for every day. Mood trackers are super pretty… but that is nothing that will make sense to me… this makes more sense to me and it’s just nice! It’s another favorite thing of mine.
Monthly Layout
I just like having a calendar in here… I can look at it. I write down the days I’m babysitting my niece because sometimes the schedule is different. I mark down important things that happen.
Gluing Stuff to the BUJO
I love gluing stuff in it… just like if I screw up or something- if I have something like an index card- I can just glue it down. My favorite layout I’ve done so far has 4 post it type notes pasted on there and I write my daily activities on that.
Color-in-bullets
This is a good way to decorate and keep track of when you get stuff done. I just used hearts as bullets and flowers for my blogs… and then I color in the hearts when I’m done. For my blogs I do flowers because I’d like to write 3-5 blogs a day… this month I’m aiming for 5… so I color in the petals to see how many I got done.
Monthly Favorites Pages
I decided to dedicate a page for my monthly favorites for my beauty blog and an It List for my personal blog so that I could keep track of my favorites right on the spot… it’s really easy and it’s fun. And I think I’ll like looking on that again when I’m done!
Blogs Posted pages
I have pages dedicated to writing down the blogs I posted that day. So like when this is posted- lets say I post it May 22nd, I’ll write down “Bullet Journal tips and tricks” on the number 22. It’s easy and that way I can keep track without having to check the computer… usually at the end of the month I’ll write down all the blogs and then post a recap of what I felt… I know that’s kind of extra… but I want to make sure I’m writing things I like and keeping track of what I’m proud of, or what didn’t really work!
Pixar’s Rules for Storytelling- I actually have 3 pages dedicated to the formula for how Pixar writes their stories… it’s just really nice to have them on the page… and I had a lot of fun with this spread. If I’m writing something I’ll come back to it because I love pixar so much.
And that’s it! This is my first bullet journal… and I love it! I’ll try to post another thing about supplies or pens I use… but I want to wait on that until I’m more of an expert… I like that mine looks a little messy just cause it’s really kind of literal scribbles than… so that’s good!
Byeee!
