hey everyone! so some of you may not know this, but august 1st is going to be officially a year from when i started bullet journaling! due to this milestone (well, not really lol), i have made a little collage of my august coverpages (2019 & 2020) and i'm going to talk about what has changed and what hasn't.

let's get into the blog!

so here are my two august coverpages. for august 2019 i did a fruit theme (og theme by amandarachlee ofc). i actually really like this theme; however my lettering is just 🤢 lolll

so obviously, this month's theme is seashells. i also love this theme a lot, and i didn't copy off of amanda *wow*

so when i began bullet journaling, i didn't really know what to do. i kinda just watched other youtubers and followed their spreads and didn't really pick out anything too special for myself. i ended up loving & keeping the cover page, monthly calendar, habit tracker, and weekly spreads. i also tried to have sort of a new spread each month. some worked out, some i didn't really use.

for example, i kept seeing a mood tracker on youtube. it looked pretty cool, so i decided to add it to my august setup. i ended up not using it; i now use a year in pixels spread instead.

on the other hand, i came across the one line a day spread one day, and i actually used it in my september 2019 setup and several months after that.

what didn't work and what i didn't end up using this year in comparison to last year was

#1) the two-page monthly calendar. i found that it just takes up more space and having a one-page calendar saves space and works just the same! i have tried a bunch of different one-page calendar layouts, and have found the one(s) that works for me.

#2) the vertical weekly spread. i tried different layouts of these but honestly, i just do not like vertical weeklies because they don't give me as much writing space as i would like.

when i started bullet journaling, i thought that like every month had to be perfect and organized and the same layouts every month. but now, i have grown more outside my comfort zone and tried new things in my journal!
