Happy late October, dear aminos!
Here's the deal with the monthly setup. It's more trackers than planning. At least in my life right now.
The actual planning part is the first two spreads in the whole setup.
It starts with my Inbox, or brain declutter, also serving as my cover page that gets filled. A lot.
The right side gives me a skeleton of focus instead of goals, and a chance to celebrate achievements. Baby steps...
The flowers are a washi tape. Washi... flakes, if you will. Not a fan of pink, but this is simple enough.
So the tape is actually single blossoms rolled up. I found it in a local crafts shop that consumes too much of my money.
The other spread is my monthly overview, for the first time ... ever, in calendar form. I went for minimalist, and I won't stop trying.
I messed up too! I was excited to include the doodles of books, as suggested in the November newsletter, so I drew one into the 24th.
Aaaaaand then I fixed it. Ta daaa!
The rest of my setup is trackers, here is the first couple: Habit and mood tracker.
Habit T has room for notes which turned out to be a great idea no matter what I'm tracking.
The mood T is actually only tbe column on the right which will be filled in color code, that I scaled in steak cooking - rare, medium rare, medium, well done and burnt. Self explanatiry, no?
The large middle section is space for the thought of the day bc there is some weird stuff in my head :grin:
The last spread is time tracker, mostly to strengthen mindfulness about what I do, and track sleep.
The color code is on a mini dutch door that I taped in.
The right page is memories... A reminder of how much fun life is :two_hearts:
And, I am participating in NaNoWriMo (national novel writing month) this year, so I incorporated this word count tracker, to achieve the goal of 50.000 words in a month.
I managed to incorporate two themes suggested in the newsletter, but at the same time I didn't feel pressured to make it overly obvious. I liked the books doidle, the cooking pans, and although the are not chrysanthemums at all, the flower washi stickers. Any more decorations, and it would distract me from planning...
I absoluetly love how bullet journalling helps me keep the perspective. SO grateful.
Have a wonderful autumn, enjoy the fallen leaves and take care of yourselves.

Ohhhh that evil :smiling_imp: craft store! It’s worse than the grocery store on an empty stomach!!! Wait....that doesn’t mean I’ve been going into the craft store on an empty mind, huh?! Bc my mind just goes crazy in there....ohhh look :eyes: at this and that....I need this...ummm I could use this for....ohhhh there’s colored pens for my collection I already have (with no place to put them). Yup...I’m afraid I know that evil :smiling_imp: craft cave all too well. Lol.
I love the way you used the wasabi stickers. I haven’t played much with the tape, but really like the look these gave. 🥰 :two_hearts:
Aren’t we all victims of the evil craft store? :joy:
but honestly the spreads are very cute
Right?!
And thanks, you're very kind.
