Bullet Journal Photos...



I have had a request for some bullet journal pages I use.  I thought I would just share a few pictures and comment on each one just a bit for you guys.  Above are some basic supplies I use every month.  I usually choose two colors to use consistently for the month.  June was pink and green.  July will be red and blue.  If I have fun sticker or washi tape on hand I will definitely utilize it to cover up mistakes or just to spice up a page.  Washi tape is also good for making a page easy to find.  I washi tape the top corners of all the main calendar pages so I can find them quickly.


This is the July spread I just did... this was before I put any dates on it so it is nice and clean.  It won't stay that way long.

I read the Bible through every year.  This is the place I cross out the books as I finish them and can get a quick overview of what I have left.

This is called a future log.  I finally got on board with doing one with my new journal I just started.  As I migrated over from the old one this went in first so I can put in dates that I don't have a calendar page ready for yet.  This is a lifesaver!  Now, when I do a new month I just head here and put in the set dates for appointments and school schedules first.

This is the June spread... see... messy and full of stuff from our life for the past month.  This one was certainly not as messy as some months.  Note that I don't have a key... a key does not really help me much... at least not at this point.  I might eventually add it but it is time consuming right now for me.

I take notes in my BuJo... I write daily to do lists and plans and I keep track of stuff I am doing.  This particular spread has notes and a tracker for what books I am reading right now.  I read more books when I do this.  Funny how that works.  LOL

This is what a week looks like.... on the left is my schedule and next to that is my to do list.  On the righthand side is my menu plan for the week and my grocery list.  This works brilliantly for me.  It does not need to be fancier than this for me.  I don't need to know moon cycles or weather patterns.  It is hot... no rain... and then the same again tomorrow here.  We live in the desert!

These are notes I took from a youtube speaker I watch regularly on vlogging... I am learning... it will happen!

This is a list of some items my college girl is learning to cook this summer.  I need to mark off what we have covered but I am a list maker and this is just one example of that.

I am also attempting to do a photo challenge again for July.  This may or may not be complete but the reminder will help.

I do habit trackers...

Here is the July book tracker and a fun quote I randomly throw in from time to time to fill a page or just to remember.  I also do this with scripture for memory work.

Just some simple photos of what my bullet journal looks like a little bit.  Hope this is helpful to those interested in the process.

Do you use one?

Do you have any pages in yours that you do not see here that you want to tell us about?

Working on the Bullet Journal again


I have joined (loosely) the Plan With Me Challenge for December.

I am making some decisions about my bullet journal for the coming year and want to try some things out before we get there.  I am close to the end of this particular Moleskine journal, too, so there is a new one on it's way soon.  I printed the list and have my calendar already in progress and I am loading it up as things get added to my schedule.  

As for my setup...

I start every month with a printed calendar so I can have that visual and then I write out the list version to the right of it.  

From there I add:

*  Menu plans
* Grocery lists
* Other shopping lists
*  To do around the house lists
*  Books that I want to look for when I have money and time
*  Movies I want to add to our list to watch
*  Crochet projects I want to work on
*  Habit lists
*  Daily to do and checklists
*  Bible study plans and notes from sermons
* Scripture memory verses
*  Quotes from books read and article notes
*  Books in the queue to review (which I am currently behind on because... life!)

Working on other things for the new year like budgeting pages, exercise and food trackers, clothing I need to replace list, big project planning lists, etc...

For the month of December I am doing a 16 Before 2016 list, too.

How are you preparing for the year ahead?
