it’s hard to avoid all those beautiful works of art bullet journals on studyblr, but from the very beginning, i just knew i was not going to be able to do that. so when setting it up, i saw down and got really honest with myself about what i would and wouldn’t do. if i couldn’t picture myself doing a feature 100%, i didn’t add it
i used a muji dot grid notebook that my sister wasn’t using, and since it was available, hooray. you don’t need to use some expensive notebook for bullet journaling. like, if you’re as lazy as decorating as i am, then make yours stand out by choosing a less-known notebook brand, like this one
so anyway, here’s my daily layout. it’s super simple, with a tiny box for the date number and the day of the week, and an etc. space for the bottom. i’m currently using up my planner, and once i’m done with it, i’ll be cutting up the week over four pages instead of just one spread, because i like taking note of what happened in my day.
here’s my beginning of the month layout. i’m also thinking of spreading it out to two pages, and then making more like a traditional calendar format, so i can actually pencil in deadlines and get a more visual overview of them. i also tried a money goal tracker but that was better done in a spreadsheet, so i didn’t update it below. if someone wants a tutorial for how i made mine, let me know.
as for my habit tracker, it’s just really simple drawings over the date numbers. for example, i have a box to symbolize one habit, a shade for another habit, and some shadow for another habit. if i wanted to add more, i could always just add more symbols, like crossing out the number, and you can clearly see the days where i didn’t do so well because it’s so clean. bonus points to see because i didn’t have to set up an all new page for it
but yeah, that’s it. my extra pages are like quotes i want to remember, or a list of my favorite pages from an art book. it’s a really practical bullet journal, but i’m proud of the habit tracker
extra tips: have a page where you track the number of columns and rows, or if you’re using something rules, keep a measurement of the length of the width. it’s pretty helpful for any future ideas or if you just want to adjust your layout
and most importantly, add extra features only if you can clearly see yourself updating it and using it. if you can’t, scrap it
