New Year - New bullet journal spread

Hello bibliophiles, 

I know, once again I haven't posted in a while and I am hearing from you all. Thank you again for reading and I really hate to disappoint you. I will not make excuses, but (I know right totally disregarding what I just said) I have been super busy with Christmas and my classes. So I may not be posting as often, but I will attempt to post more. 

Since this blog is supposed to be a little piece of me, I thought I would share with you my new set up for my Bullet Journal. If you are not familiar with the Bullet Journal they are ALL THE RAGE right now. I've been trying it out for almost a year and am LOVING it. Check out Ryder Caroll's original Bullet Journal on his website here. Most people have adapted it for their own use and are making it much prettier. I will say this, making it "prettier" takes up a lot of time, but it's fun and it brings out my creative/organized side. When bullet-ing my hubby likes to loving refer to me as "Monica" like from Friends. Since I get a little bit carried away. Now I will also say that I am a bit of a magpie, I Pinterest and Google for ideas. I compile them and turn it into my own. So some of the pages do take inspiration from other Bullet Journal-ers. 


Here is the journal that I am using. It is the Leuchtturm 1917 with the grid inside. 


I have left all my weekly layouts and blank so this is why I thought I would show it you now. Before I fill it in with all my personal information. The above is my 2016 review. 



Above is my spread for my 2017 goals. I suggest you take a look at Boho Berry. Her goals and level 10 life spreads will get you wanting to journal your self!


Here is my 3 year plan spread that I will be filling out. It will help me keep on track for my goals and where I want my career to head. 


Above is the future log so I can see the next seven months and add any upcoming events or important dates I do not want to forget. 


Here is my overview for January. I list my goals for the month any Birthdays or Anniversaries to remember as well as a list of the days where I can oversee the events/tasks/appointments for the whole month. 


Finally, here are is my brand new spread. I used to do a whole week, and now I am attempting to do a daily and weekly spread. The weekly spread is much smaller. Simly an overview of the chores and events for the week. Then the daily has a much larger area for health tracking as well as a gratitude section. As well as a nice big space for my to dos. 

As I've said, I am a bit of a magpie and take what I like from other people's spreads. I don't claim to be the creator of these spreads or ideas. Simply Google bullet journal and you will see all these things for yourself. 

I hope you enjoyed taking a look into my journal, and are wanting to get organized for the new year. 

See you next time.
