No one asked, but here I am to give my 8-Month Bullet Journal Update. I have written a bit about bullet journaling in the past, like here and here. However, since we all know I don't go through with things, you all will be pleased to know that writing in and using my Bullet Journal has become a habit. I thought I would share what a typical spread looks like for me.
I start each month by creating a monthly calendar and writing in all my school-related assignments and activities. Everything has a distinct color, so it clicks into my mind what class it is for without having to write the name of the class.
For weekly spreads, I have a small run-down of the week including everything that is written in my monthly calendar and some extra bits that were added in. I always write the week number, only because I am in school and then it is easier to keep track of my assignments that way. I might have a quote, maybe, depending on the week. For my to-do lists, I write the day of the week the day of. I used to write all the days prior and then give each of them sufficient space, but I would always end up needing either more space or not using all of it.
Some other pages I have includes...
- Calligraphy practice
- Math (for classes, not for fun)
- Quotes
- Movies to watch
- Books to watch
- TV shows to watch
- Blog post ideas
- Photo assignments
- Blog post pages: where I write out ideas more thoroughly with details
I think the aspect I have enjoyed most about bullet journaling has to be the creative element. I really enjoy drawing, writing, and just creating my own personal pages. I never bound to the same lined pages and design like EVERY other planner out there. I have to say I love it and will continue using it in the future. Do you use a bullet journal? Do you like it? What kind of planner do you use?
