🖋Bullet Journaling📔
Hello Everyone!
The new year is just hours away at the time of me posting this. This year flew by but it also felt so slow. Last year I started writing for this website in June where I shared my Bullet Journal Setups. Now six months later it's time for me to share how I set up my Bullet Journal for the New Year.
Reflecting on the past year
Many people use their bullet journals as a way to look back and reflect on the past year. With some making a goodbye page for the last year. I always saw my bullet journal as an organizational tool to track tasks and habits. I do have another journal where I reflect on the last day, week, or month. During this year I learned how I like my bullet journal spreads to be, simple yet colorful.
Creating the setup
As usual, I started by sketching all my spreads.
In this setup, I have included a Welcome 2022 page, a Key, a letter to me in 2023, a 3-page future log, and a book tracker page.
I experimented with some new lettering on my Welcome 2022 page, it didn't turn out perfect but, I love it.
My key is rather simple with only 5 symbols. Last year I was lost on which symbols I would use and was just trying to figure out how I wanted my bullet journal to be like.
My favorite yearly spread from last year was a letter to me the next year. It's a letter that I can read on New Year's day and see if I have achieved my goals and see how I have changed thought the year. I can't wait to open this year on new year's day.
My future log is rather small since, I only use my future log for Birthdays and important dates, like test dates and holidays.
My goals page has 5 of my biggest goals for the coming year and my quote of the year. No rain, no flowers.
I read a lot and I recently ran out of space to track the books I'm reading, so I added way more places filled with books. I am also planning on posting a book review at least once every month or two to share what I'm reading.
When I came to materials I kept it simple with just a pen and two highlighters.
Final Thoughts
I love how this setup turned out. It was simple and functional. When I started writing here I was still trying to figure out how I wanted to have my journal setups. Since October my setups have stayed the same with a different theme. I think I finally found a layout I love, but we have to wait and see.
Bye!
Happy Holidays!
