Journal – Page 3 – The HeartWord Way

Time for another recap where I share the books I read last month, bullet journaling tips, and how far I got in my writing.

Books

At the beginning of this past month, I decided to read through The Chronicles of Narniaby C.S Lewis. So far, I have read up to the middle of book five, and I really love it!

The reason why I like this series is because it really lets me escape. That is also why I love other fantasy series (Harry Potter and Keeper of the Lost Cities). They are the type of books that just pull you away. Your eyes are scanning over the words, but you don’t see them. All you see are the pictures that your brain forms based on the wonderful descriptions. I think it’s one of the best things in the world. Anyway, back to this post. After I finish reading this series, I might post a review.

Bullet Journaling

Last month, I didn’t really do anything new in my bullet journal, but I am this month. Read this previous post to read about my new pages in my bullet journal.

Writing

Unfortunately, I was very busy this month with Christmas and exams. So I didn’t have much time to write. I did have a little time, so I did start writing book two of the series I’m writing. And I did come up with a new book idea, so I guess this month wasn’t too bad.

Something New…

So, next month in my monthly recap, I’m going to add something new. At the beginning of each week in January, I’m going to start writing a short story or poem. I’ll continue to work on it throughout the week until it’s finished. Then, at the end of the month, I’ll choose one to share on this blog. What should I call it? My Story of the Month? The Chronicles by Corinne Johnson? What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

Well, next week I should be back on schedule. See you next Thursday!

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!
