    Do you bullet journal currently? Or is it something you’d like to start? 🤍

      I sort of do a hybrid. I do set up the year and weeks in advance; I have too many calendar items to just go month but month. But I make a hybrid that has a notes section each week, trackers, planning sections for the youth group I work with, and wide open notes sections. I may have to look a little bit for something, but I know everything is in that notebook.

      This is going to be my first year bullet journaling, and I was just now working on it. Going to try a new format every quarter to test out layouts 🤞

      I love the idea and I've attempted one several times but no matter how simple and minimalist I make it I still get bogged down, overwhelmed, and end up falling behind and giving up.

    I've found I use my bullet journal much more since I stopped trying to make it 'pretty'. I use one colour per month (usually a different shade of grey but I occasionally use an actual colour) and a black pen. It's so much simpler and makes me want to use it because it doesn't take forever to set up.

    This is so much more helpful than other bullet journalling videos I've watched in the past! I had kind of labelled myself as 'not a bullet journaller' because whenever I tried to match the beautiful aesthetics I'd just get disappointed and give up on the whole thing! I'm a university student and I'm getting married this August so I definitely have a lot on my plate this year and I'm going to try this set up of bullet journalling as I think it will be really useful for me! Thanks so much for the video! xxx

    I just started bullet journaling in October! I like to use stickers to decorate my pages, but I definitely dont go to the extremes that some of the bullet journal queens do haha! I would also suggest a notebook with thicker pages, like 160GSM to avoid the pen bleeding through if that bothers you. I have an Archer and Olive notebook and I love it! I can even use markers to fill in habit trackers with nothing bleeding through!

    Any year is a great time to try methods, like bullet journaling, but for me especially this year as I will be semiretired (end of April). Looking forward to adapting your ideas so that my retirement days do not blend together. I also like this idea because of its built-in adaptability to unforeseen schedule changes which does crop up once in awhile. P.S. Great ideas on decorating for days like Christmas. New tradition. :)))

    Thanks for sharing this video, Ashlynne! I have been using a bullet journal system for a few years now, and I really appreciate how I'm able to keep all my notes in one place. I was curious about when during a given month you find it works best for you to make the next monthly spread? That's something I've always struggled with. My current solution is to have an additional, small planner with preprinted, monthly spreads, but it's not an ideal situation. I'd like to return to drawing the calendars. Thanks for any insight you'd like to share with what works for you. :)

    A lot of strategies you mentioned, like breaking down the year into manageable chunks and tracking “habits” are really similar to the strategy outlined in the book The 12 Week Year (how to get more done in 12 weeks than most people do in a year)

I especially liked your tracker how you just concentrate on a few things at a time. Heads up... when you did your weekly plan, you wrote Sat/Sun 9. It should be Sat/Sun 9/10. Don't turn the page and write 10, or you will need your white out lol.

    I tried doing a bullet journal like this, but now I just use it for monthly journal prompts. I’ll go into Pinterest towards the end of each month to find journal prompts that I want to do. Naturally, I’ll get busy with school or just lazy and will forget to answer the daily prompts, but I just go back and fill them in plus that day’s prompt and maybe a day, two, or three upcoming prompts. I’ve been doing this since March 2020. I also have a bucket list of places I want to go both foreign and in the U.S., celebrities I would like to meet (even though the chance is slim to none)

      Me too, but after 3 months i forgot it, not update it again. But now when i see it again there are goals that i can check because i already finished it or in progress. Well at least i know i already start/finished something. So when i am starting 2021 there is no feeling that in 2020 I didn't do anything.
