Happy New Year!!! I've been so excited to share with you my 2021 bullet journal!!! I decided after last year to jump into bullet journaling with a blank journal this year after my year with the blank calendar format from 2020. I did a LOT of research, and decided to go with a book from Archer and Olive. It has thick pages that hold up to just about any type of brush marker or paint pen, which gives me a LOT of options to decorate the journal. Here is the one I picked out:
I've decided that for each month, I'm going to start with the following basic format:
- Month intro and goals spread
- Monthly calendar spread
- Monthly mood tracker and budget spread
- Weekly spreads with a spot for notes and menu planning
For January, I went with a cool, blue/purple theme. I also miscalculated my pages and so I ended up combining the calendar and monthly goals spread. It turned out really nice, but the calendar is definitely smaller than I'd like and I'll fix that in upcoming months:
I really enjoyed using my mildliners, clean color dot pens, and posca pens to create these pages! I'm also looking forward to trying out several weekly spreads to see which type works best for me in this journal. Last January, my mood tracker was a scarf on a snowman, and so I thought this cozy hat would make a cute mood tracker for this year!!! I can't wait to see it once it's finished! I also really missed out on adding a watercolor strip to this month. I could still add one under the January calendar.... we shall see. But overall I love the thick pages of this journal and how easy it is to format.
Are any of you taking the bullet journal journey this year? Let me know how you formal yours in the comments!
