Your 2019 Bullet Journal

Hello, everyone! It’s coming whether you’re ready or not. Why not be ready? Join me as I list out helpful bullet journal tips for the upcoming New Year. 

Here’s how I’m going to do this. For each section, I’ll list how you can use it, what mine looks like, and then tips. 

Monthly Log

Okay, so this page can be really helpful. This is where you can list out all of your upcoming events. You can use as many details as you want! 

At the top of my Monthly Log page, I have a calendar that goes about halfway down the page. Then, I have a section for notes about each event. At the very bottom, I have a section for goals for that month (more on goals later). 

As for tips, use this to your advantage! The next time someone asks if you are doing anything on Saturday night, pull out your bullet journal and check!

Weekly Log

Your Weekly Log is the place to be productive! You can list out goals for the week, track your habits, look ahead at the next week, and list out things to do. 

On my Weekly Log pages, I have the left page divided into sections for a mini calendar, notes, goals, a habit tracker, weather forecast for the week, and a quote. On the right page, I have a small section for each day. 

This is your most productive page. Try to use it to help you get things done. 

Mood Log

This is the page where you can track your moods. Tracking your moods can help you realize why you might feel anxious, angry, or sad on certain days. Then you can come up with a technique to not feel angry or anxious or sad. 

For my Mood Log, I have numbers 1-31 down the side, and the months January-December across the top. This way I can track my moods for an entire year. 

Weather Log

I only did this page in my bullet journal for fun. The only purpose is to track the weather. 

I did my Weather Log page the same way I did my Mood Log: numbers 1-31 down the side and months January-December across the top. 

As for tips, I suggest you have fun with this page. Use this page to try out fun headings and de-stress. 

Habit Log

Okay, this is where you can track all of the habits you want to start doing or keep doing. 

I usually do this on my Weekly Log. I put the days of the week across the top and my habits down the side. 

Doodle/Stress Log 

This is something that I’ve seen other people do that I’m going to try. This is a space where you can set up a space for each day to do a doodle. 

I did this across two pages, and basically, I just did a space for each day in January. I decided to also use this as a stress log, so for each doodle section, I’ll use a symbol to show how stressed I was. 

Sleep Log

This is where (you guessed it!) you can track your sleep hours. 

For my sleep log this month, I am going to draw snowflakes falling down the page. Each snowflake will be a different color according to how many hours I slept. 

I love doing different pages for my sleep log. Have fun with this page! 

And that’s all I have for today. Comment and tell me what you’re doing in your bullet journal for this coming new year!

My next post will be Thursday, the tenth. I’ll be doing my December monthly re-cap. See you then!

New Year- 2019

New Year Resolutions

floraj5604

This week, I’m going to tell you how I like to do New Year resolutions. I decided to do a shorter post this week since I’ll probably do a longer one next week. So, let’s get started!

How I Do It

I don’t really think of these as “resolutions.” I think of them as goals. In the past, I just basically made a list of goals that I had hoped to accomplish that year. For example, one of them was to read every day. Now, after you read this next sentence, you’ll probably think, “Oh, she’s just like everyone else. I thought she was actually going to give me some helpful tips!” Well, here’s the sentence: I was just like everyone else. I made a list of goals, kept them up for a while, and then (yup, you guessed it!) gave up after I missed a day or two.

Well, my friends, I’ve decided I’m going to do it differently this year! Now you’re probably thinking, “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody says that!” Yes, I do realize that. But this year, I’m not going to give up. Once again, I know what you’re thinking: “Sure you won’t! I’ve already tried it, so don’t you think I know?” Yes, I know you know. But I am serious. 

My Goals

Okay, I’m going to go ahead and list out my goals.

  1. Try to drink at least three cups of water a day.
  2. Exercise at least three days a week.
  3. Clean your room a little bit every day.
  4. Write every day.
  5. Have a good attitude about school.

Yep, that’s pretty much it. “What?? Just FIVE?!?” Yep, just five. That is one of my tips. So, I guess that’s what I’ll move on to next.

Tips

  1. Keep it simple. Don’t push yourself. You can always add on later during the year. Bad example: Lose ten pounds every week. Instead: Exercise at least three days a week.
  2. Don’t start the year off with a million goals. That won’t help you. Start small, and then you can get bigger later. Bad example: thirty goals. Instead: ten to twenty.
  3. Don’t give up just because you miss one or two days! You have to keep going. Bad example: “Ugh, I only drank six cups of water instead of eight. Well, there goes that New Year’s resolution!” Instead: “I will try again tomorrow.”

And, that’s pretty much it. Only three rules to follow. Pretty simple, right?

One More Thing…

My New Year Goals are based off of things I want to either start doing and make a habit, or things I want to keep doing. That should be what yours are based off of too.

Next week I’ll be doing a post on how to improve your 2019 bullet journal! See you then!
