Well, here it is! My 2021 Bullet Journal.
It's a dot grid Leuchtturm1917. The color is Bellini. It's a really pretty soft reddish peach that didn't really come through well in the picture.
It's pretty basic and not very pretty yet. But as time goes on I might add some color and doodles. If I waited till I did that, I'd never get this post up, so think of this as a minimalist bullet journal set up. This is my introduction page. The front of the Leuchtturm journals have an index so this is the first dotted page after the index.
This is the forward planning calendar I'm going to try this year. It's pretty simple and streamlined and was much quicker to make than a grid for each month.
And I haven't finished with all my goals, but again, if I waited till I did, I'd never get this post up. So here's most of them.
I'm going to transfer some of the goals over to the first quarter task list. I'm hoping this helps me break them down a little better so I can accomplish them. Each new month will have washi tape along the edge, I like that I can easily flip back to the month with tape folded over the edge.
The sticky note is a book reading tip I'm trying from the Modern Mrs. Darcy. Hopefully it'll help keep me on track with reading and not be overwhelmed or feel guilty about books I have yet to read.
The next two pages are ones that I refer to a lot, so I put them right next to the washi tape page. My monthly menu and my habit tracker. I have seen some cool ways to mark the habit tracker (like I tried above) which looks cool in the end, but if I'm trying to go along the line to see how I did that month, I can't really tell, so I'm going back to x's or checkmarks for the rest of the month.
Then I'm breaking down my tasks (hopefully) a bit more and listing just the ones for January.
The taped in page is a reading challenge I'm trying to do (I definitely won't read all of those books but maybe I'll read more than scroll on my phone!) It's from Daughters of Promise and it should be fun.
Then the other page is my spending log for January. That's DayGlo at the bottom. He's kind of an angry accountant.
So that's it for my simple bullet journal. Not super exciting, but hopefully it'll give you some inspiration or ideas if you have one. If you do, I'd love to hear below what pages you have in yours! That's one of the things I love about bullet journals is you can change things up so simply!
