I LOVE THE IDEA OF A BULLET JOURNAL! I'm watching a ton of these videos right now and I'm getting so inspired. I loved the "books to read" page. Definitely going to add that in mine!
an app you might like for keeping track of the books you read is goodreads. they even let you set a yearly goal of how many books you want to read. But i love your idea of writing them down as well :)
I watched your most recent video and asked myself, "When did I subscribe to watching videos about college?" But then it hit me. Planner she must be a planner. I somehow had missed this video but I love it. Westcott does make a six inch ruler that will fit in the back of your Moleskine. Oh and I love the nail polish. P.S. The college video. Excellent advise.
I currently use an Erin Condren, but I've been loving having a bullet journal for on the go so that I don't always lug it around. I just always need to have SOMEWHERE to write things down. I like using my BJ to pre-plan and then dump it all into my EC. I love how creative you are with the shapes and stuff like that.
Oh my gosh, I literally just searched bullet journal on UA-cam because I felt like watching some bujo vids and the first thing I notice is a sticker from The Blend! So cool to know that other people are into this kind of thing at Dayton. (I go there too! ;D)
I have only found out about this whole "studyblr" thing just now and since I'm all up for growing up and withdrawing procrastination, I took my planner for this year more seriously. HOWEVER, I wanna give the concept of having a bullet journal a shot. Is it too late? :/
+Angelo Franz It's never ever too late to begin, and that's the beauty of the bullet journal. You can start, pause, and pick back up whenever, and there's never any blank space!
Loving your bullet journal! I'm planning on starting one for myself for college starting this summer semester. I already have one for my personal life now just gotta do the school thing.
I was watching videos because I want to start my own bullet journal and I LOVE how you keep track of what you eat and how much you work out and stuff, I think that would really work for me too! I would be upset with myself if I didn't get to colour enough hearts and go jogging in the middle of the night just to keep a nice score xD thanks for this video!
That's what's so motivational for me! It helps me stay accountable without having to rely on another person, and it becomes a visual thing for me! At the end of the week I want to see everything colored in! So glad you could draw some inspiration from this video and thank you for watching! :)
Oh my god, Amanda, your journal is so impressive! I haven't seen such fascinating things for years. Thank you very much for this video. I like how you organize things and all stuff\items. This even motivates me to organize mine)
Yay, a fellow Hoosier! I'm just getting into bullet journaling and was searching for videos to help me get ideas and I stumbled upon yours. Then I saw your United State of Indiana sticker and now I'm sold lol. :)
Love your set up.. Might have to steal some ideas hehe.... It's not related but can I please ask where your bracelet is from?!? It's beautiful and doesn't move I need one like that in my life xxx
sadly im too stressed to start a bullet journal for this month but I start a new semester in February so I'm going to do this for semester to i am very excited aaaaaaaaa
This is absolutely cool ! I loved how you organised your journal it's simple yet it looks fabulous ! I wish I saw your video before working on my journal :(. This is actually the first time for me using a bullet journal... This explains why I got a lined Moleskin instead of the squared one... and actually I couldn't write using pens because on the other side of the page it will leave marks... so I am using only a pencil :(

This is great! I love all the extra stuff you've included :D
How are you getting on with your new weekly set up? I've been doing this since november and change my layout almost every week. In your previous bullet journal video you mentioned you were struggling with using your habit tracker and gratitude section. I've found it loads easier to make doing these part of my planning routine. I do my gratitude in bed just before I turn out the light and my tracker when I check my journal in the morning.
+Gemma Ford I'm getting along really well with my weekly setup and it's been nearly 4 complete months! I've changed a handful of things that I put on the right page, but the general layout is still the same. I've also been good about keeping up with my journal in the morning for 5 minutes and at night for 20! The habit really helps me to stay on track.
Thank you for this video, you've inspired me to get organized and set up a bullet journal for 2016! Could you make a video about all the bullet journal ideas for pages you've seen and find cool/used? Like all the pages (Future log, books you wanna read, etc) you've tried or wanted to try, I'm new and wanna know about some more options. Just a suggestion ❤️
+Ella I'm so glad I could inspire you! I may make a blog post about bullet journal inspiration in the near future, and if I do I'll be sure to mention it on my channel. In the meantime, you can always search "bullet journal" on Pinterest and you'll find plenty of ideas. Thanks for watching :)
+Samantha Lauren brainstorming and looking for ideas for my layout has been happening since the beginning of December. Actually sitting down and drawing it all out took me a total of 8 hours over a few days at the end of December. Setting up each month from that point forward only takes me about 20 minutes or so!
I'm sorry but its 3:30am and too many people have called a contents page an index! An index is at the back it says all the pages something is on, for example, if you looked in Y you might see UA-cam on pages 17 42 and 9, a contents page is similar in that it says the page somethings on, but it is not the same! okay, rant over, have a nice life :)
I think people put Index because that's how we're taught in school when it comes to journaling. I agree it's something that goes in the back and is alphabetized, however in school when teachers have you put together a journal, the first step is always to number the pages, then keep track on the first page labeled "index"
You can index in other orders than alphabetically, and this is an index, as you'll end up with something line this: "Instructions: 2 Future log: 10-11, 60-61, 130-131 July: 12-13, 132-133" etc.
Your video is the one that made me for sure want to start bullet journaling. I love how yours is formatted! It's wouldn't be bad to kind of copy you right?😅
+Amanda Krutsick (krutsicklass) I finally got a squared moleskine but don't have any good pens and the ink keeps spreading and I don't know what to do 😓
this was really inspiring:) i loved everything about your journal, also i have a question do you have to have a pacific book to do the bullet journal system? or can you just like go to walmart an pick up any journal of your choice an then make a layout of the things you want? an im like really new on journaling an i could use tons of tips:) an also when do you get your inspiration from?
+simplyjenni I use a gridded Moleskine because they are my notebook of choice, but you can honestly use ANYTHING, whether the pages are gridded, lined, or blank. Whatever journal you like will work perfectly with the bullet journal method. Then, just like you said, you lay it out however you want. I like to take a blank sheet of paper and sketch out ideas first. I get a lot of my inspiration from the study community on Tumblr and Pinterest, and I also get ideas from a Facebook group called Bullet Journal Junkies :) I hope this helps! Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any more questions!
Amanda Krutsick thank you so so much Amanda i really apperceate an ooo thats a great idea i didnt thing about using tumblr ill try that:) an yes ill message you if i need anything else:)
So, I've only recently learned about bullet journaling and I've watched a TON of videos about it and I have looked at the designs of MANY journals. I have to say, that yours is definitely the coolest one that I've seen. I will probably incorporate some of your ideas like the goal charts and books to read. I see that you posted this in January. How is it working out over half way through 2016? Does it mess you up if you forget to fill out your journal for a week? Or do you fill yours out on a daily basis? Thanks, girl. Your video is amazing and very helpful!
I have an update video coming very very soon on a half year update, but the short answers to those questions are: it's working fabulously but I haven't been as active with it this summer, it doesn't mess me up if I miss a week and I tend to just fill the blank space with doodles or printed quotes and things of that sort, and yes I fill it out on a daily basis and at the least I look at it once in the morning and once in the evening! So glad this video was helpful to you!
I got a journal for this exact purpose at 5 below for 5 bucks thats exactly like yours in every way except it's blue. They have different colors. For those who want to know where those kinds of journals are at for cheap.
How do plan ahead I see the 3 months at the beginning so do you do your monthly calendar as it gets closer and then leave so many pages free in between months or what? Still a newbie lol
+Sherry Baierl I plan out three months at a time and leave about 4 blank pages in between them for my extra stuff. Some people plan ahead in a cheap, small, store bought planner and then copy over when they're ready to start the next month. Find what works for you! :)
You could make a future log spread where you have a small view of each month on two pages and jot events down there until you create the month it is in. Just look up bullet journal future logs on youtube or pinterest
It's halfway in between planning and scrapbooking! You can integrate scrapbooking into it (like my monthly memories pages, for example) or you can make it very plain and basic. Totally up to you, and that's the beauty of it!
I'm from Indiana, actually live on the west side of Indianapolis. you don't see a lot of you tubers who live in indy . so I just thought you were pretty cool
I know I am a few months late with this, but in my personal opinion, if you lose a journal (or anything really) that you cared enough about to put a return address or contact information on, it's the right thing to do by returning it and people don't really deserve a reward. I would probably thank them a million times and if I had cookies or something in my house at the time I might offer them one but a cash reward is just ridiculous to me. Would they still bring it back if they didn't get a reward? Hopefully. So the reward really is unnecessary to print onto the page or to have at all.I know you said you weren't positive if you would have a reward or not so I just don't think you should put a reward down unless you write $0 but I'll give you a cookie or something.
I LOVE THE IDEA OF A BULLET JOURNAL! I'm watching a ton of these videos right now and I'm getting so inspired. I loved the "books to read" page. Definitely going to add that in mine!
I'm getting ready for 2017, so this is super inspiring to see. Thanks!
an app you might like for keeping track of the books you read is goodreads. they even let you set a yearly goal of how many books you want to read. But i love your idea of writing them down as well :)
She FINALLY opens the book AND starts talking about the part we car about at 2:30
lol right! ;)
I watched your most recent video and asked myself, "When did I subscribe to watching videos about college?" But then it hit me. Planner she must be a planner. I somehow had missed this video but I love it. Westcott does make a six inch ruler that will fit in the back of your Moleskine. Oh and I love the nail polish.
P.S. The college video. Excellent advise.
+Kati Smith I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you for letting me know about that ruler. I will for sure be looking into that. :)
Absolutely love your meal and workout tracker! Im trying to get my life in order and your video really helped! Thanks!
I love that idea, the word for the year.
I currently use an Erin Condren, but I've been loving having a bullet journal for on the go so that I don't always lug it around. I just always need to have SOMEWHERE to write things down. I like using my BJ to pre-plan and then dump it all into my EC. I love how creative you are with the shapes and stuff like that.
+ZullysWorld I love that idea! The bullet journal is the perfect place to brain dump. Thank you for watching :)
Oh my gosh, I literally just searched bullet journal on UA-cam because I felt like watching some bujo vids and the first thing I notice is a sticker from The Blend! So cool to know that other people are into this kind of thing at Dayton. (I go there too! ;D)
Excellent video. I love watching other people ideas and goals. You did a great job. I hope 2016 was successful. Im prepping my 2017 journal.
I really really like your idea of the goal page! So brilliant!
I have only found out about this whole "studyblr" thing just now and since I'm all up for growing up and withdrawing procrastination, I took my planner for this year more seriously. HOWEVER, I wanna give the concept of having a bullet journal a shot. Is it too late? :/
No way it's not too late! You are filling in your own dates anyways. Creating a planner/journal is a great step in getting organized 💜
+Angelo Franz It's never ever too late to begin, and that's the beauty of the bullet journal. You can start, pause, and pick back up whenever, and there's never any blank space!
i started three days ago and its mag xD :) so nah its never too late when it comes to bullet journaling
+Ketriax may*
I want to start a bullet journal as well, for the remaining months of this year, just to give it a try :)
Omg I didn't even realize that my mildliners had a fine tip at the bottom until you popped the lid off!
Was researching bullet journals and thought, "hey, that looks like The Blend logo." I subbed when you confirmed it. :)
I'm so inspired to build my 2016 Bullet Journal (yeah I haven't started yet :( ) Thank you for the video, great tips! And so inspiring, really!!!
+Andita Nataatmadja So glad you were inspired! :)
I just started bullet journaling, and before that I watched a lot of videos for inspiration, but yours is the best 👍
+zeezeenu thank you so much!
thank you for making this video, its really helped me figure out what I want to do and gave me some ideas i didn't think of.
I love the word of the year idea. Definitely going to pick a word for the rest of this year
It has been such a great reminder for me! I wish you the best of luck with the word you choose :)
I love her she's soo positive and creative
Two of my favorite things to be! Thanks for watching :)
Loving your bullet journal! I'm planning on starting one for myself for college starting this summer semester. I already have one for my personal life now just gotta do the school thing.
+Denise Hall so glad you stopped in to watch! Good luck with starting college this summer semester and I hope the bullet journal helps you out. :)

The weekly spreads are pretty! And that's great that you got paid :D
I really like your setup. It's very creative! You gave me some ideas.
Oh my god, Amanda, your journal is so impressive! I haven't seen such fascinating things for years. Thank you very much for this video. I like how you organize things and all stuff\items. This even motivates me to organize mine)
+A. S. So glad this gave you some motivation! Thanks for watching :)
Flourish was my word for the year two or three years ago!

+Sarah Fitzgerald Yay for fellow Hoosiers! So glad this video could help you out :) Thank you for watching!
I could never keep up with this! It's so cool tho! you are so artistic with this too!

where did you get your ring???? it SOOO PRETTY! so is your journaling.
It was custom made for me by a jeweler my grandmother knows! I'm sure there are similar ones on the internet :)

omg! my best friend's sister goes to Dayton!
Awesome!
I LOVE this video!! Thanks for doing this :)

Where did you get the plastic template from? I love the size and the shapes it provides. Thank you.
+dgmlmax Walmart!
I love the G2 but I use the .38
That green nailpolish is to die for!!! Please share the secret??? ;)
Hi! I did not find the link to the sticker brand in the description box, I was wondering if you could link it for me? :)
I got a journal for this exact purpose at 5 below for 5 bucks thats exactly like yours in every way except it's blue. They have different colors. For those who want to know where those kinds of journals are at for cheap.
+Biz_Markie91 this is awesome! Thank you for sharing :) I've been looking for some cheap versions.
Badassery. Love it.
Love your ideas. :)
I think we're wearing the same nail polish right now! (Illamasqua Viridian) Not important, but super cool.
+Francesca Ordanza we totally are! :)
Love This Video!! How Big Is Your Moleskin?
+Saida Muniz it's the "large" size on the Moleskine website which is 5.1x8.3 inches.
Great job :)

lovely journal :)
is this similar to scrapbooking?
No it is similar or the same to a planner or planning.
It's halfway in between planning and scrapbooking! You can integrate scrapbooking into it (like my monthly memories pages, for example) or you can make it very plain and basic. Totally up to you, and that's the beauty of it!
ok weird but i think im wearing the exact same nail polish as you hahaha
hey where are you from ? I'm new here . and in the beginning you were talking about indy and Ohio. so I was wondering where you were from ?
I live in Indiana and I've lived there for a while, but I'm originally from the East Coast!
I'm from Indiana, actually live on the west side of Indianapolis. you don't see a lot of you tubers who live in indy . so I just thought you were pretty cool
Super :D!!!
Can you recommend a color wide or thick marker that doesn't bleed ? I hate to turn next page and see the color coming trough
Most wide or thick markers are going to bleed because of how much ink they put on the page. I don't have any recommendations, sorry!
If you use a leuchtturm instead of a moleskine I find there isn't as much bleed through. Leuchtturm seems to work with a lot of different markers.
Dayton, I live in Ohio too.
did you make the year at a glance page or is that a printout?
+Caitlin Maeve I made the at a year glance myself, but I essentially copied it from other people's ideas
It's so pretty and simple I love it!
What do you use for your sticky note storage?
I store them in a tiny cosmetics bag I got at Target!
Where did you get the pouch for your sticky notes???
+nina.gee.zee I believe it was a cosmetics case from Target! They always have the cutest prints in lots of different sizes.
were can you buy that exact journal??
I got mine at Barnes and Noble, and you can also find them online on the Moleskine website or Amazon!
+Amanda Krutsick (krutsicklass) thank you so much (:
I know I am a few months late with this, but in my personal opinion, if you lose a journal (or anything really) that you cared enough about to put a return address or contact information on, it's the right thing to do by returning it and people don't really deserve a reward. I would probably thank them a million times and if I had cookies or something in my house at the time I might offer them one but a cash reward is just ridiculous to me. Would they still bring it back if they didn't get a reward? Hopefully. So the reward really is unnecessary to print onto the page or to have at all.I know you said you weren't positive if you would have a reward or not so I just don't think you should put a reward down unless you write $0 but I'll give you a cookie or something.
Like, thanks.
2016 we're gonna flourish...everything went to shit😂
What's the name of the font style she uses for the word 'flourish' at 3:32
