little planner check in ✨📖

i’ve been trying this daily template in my journal while waiting for my planner to arrive and it has honestly been working so well for me.

and today the actual planner finally gets here which i’m embarrassingly excited about.

my 2026 bullet journal setup ✨📖

this journal feels like a fresh chapter — not in a loud, reinvent-my-life way, but in a quiet, intentional one. for 2026, i’m focusing on layouts that feel supportive, flexible, and kind to my brain. less pressure, more room to breathe.

i kept things simple on purpose: gentle structure, cozy visuals, and spreads that can grow with me instead of box me in. i want this journal to be a place i return to, not something i feel like i’m constantly behind on.

here’s to a year of showing up imperfectly, creatively, and honestly.

if you’ve started setting up your journal for the new year, what are you hoping it gives you?

here’s this week’s spread — soft colors, gentle routines, and a layout that feels like a calm breath in the middle of december. i’m trying to keep things simple, cozy, and adhd-friendly, letting my journal support me instead of overwhelm me.

this spread isn’t about doing everything perfectly — it’s about creating space to check in, reset, and move through the week with a little more kindness.

if you keep weekly spreads, what’s one thing you always include in yours? 👀✨

how i’ve been using my bullet journal lately ✨📖

lately, my journal has been less about planning perfectly and more about checking in with myself. i’m using it to track gentle routines, set small intentions, and give my thoughts somewhere safe to land — even if they’re messy or unfinished.

i’m letting go of the idea that every page has to be filled or every week has to look the same. some days it’s lists and reminders, other days it’s reflections, doodles, or just a few words written sideways in the margin.

my bullet journal has become a support tool instead of a productivity test. something i return to when i need grounding, clarity, or a little creative comfort.

if you use a journal, what role does it play in your life right now?

a few spreads from my february journal 🌷✨

looking back at the pages that held this month. small notes, simple spreads, and moments that might have passed too quickly if they were not written down.

journaling helps me remember the quiet parts too 🤍

adhd student starter pack ✨📖

these are the little things that help me stay grounded, focused, and somewhat organized as an ADHD student. not perfect systems, just supports that make things feel a little easier.

what would you add? 🤍

this week’s spread ✨📖

i’ve been testing the passion planner daily template in my journal while i wait for my actual planner to arrive on monday. it’s been fun experimenting with the layout and imagining how it will feel once the real planner is here.

the excitement for fresh planner pages is very real 🤍
