In this post I will show you my spreads for the month of December. These are the spreads that have proven to be the most useful for me and I use them every month. The way I usually decide my month’s theme is by color so a color or two would be the theme. Because of the holidays this month the theme is green and red the whole month is very festive and I tried to make it as jolly as possible.
In the beginning of every month I do a collage, this month’s collage was dedicated to the holidays and the green and red color scheme, as I said before.
This is the month overview where I note any events, deadlines etc. On the right I have a goals column where I write the things I want to do by the end of the month. I played a lot with green and red and interchanging the colors to make it more exciting. The way I designed the calendar is quite minimalist, I have done the standard calendar before but I find this way more interesting.
Every month I do a little check-in with myself to see where I’m at as the title suggests. I have notice that relationships and mental health take more space than physical health so I divided the page accordingly. I drew some nice little doodles on the top to make it a little cuter, disregard my inability to draw snowflakes, I just can’t.
In this page I just write down anything that I might need for that month or in general. I drew some nice little lights on the top which I think turned out amazing and I really love them.
Here I have numbered the page for everyday of December to write a thing or two I am grateful for that day. Again I added a festive doodle to give a little character to the page.
This page is divided in two, on the top half I have a little experiences log where I write down any great experiences I might have had in that month. On the bottom half I have a mood tracker on which every day I color in a lightbulb depending on how my day was and on the bottom right corner I have a little index of what each color means. I think that especially the mood tracker will look very nice once all the lightbulbs are filled in.
I use this page to track my habits, every time I do one of the activities I color in that day.
Here I have a little checklist of festive things I can do throw-out the month of December to get in the spirit of the holidays.
On the right page of this spread I write my blog ideas or any notes and on the left a festive song I really like.
And this is how I do my weekly spreads I divide each page in quarters, 1 for each day of the week and 1 extra one for a general To-Do list for the whole week. In each day I leave 1 row blank to write any events, birthdays etc. that don’t need crossing off and below that 3 rows with little check boxes for the most important tasks of that day.
This is a little segment I use for self-improvement and confidence. This month is a noticing what you’re good at, inspired by https://www.christiezimmer.com/thoughts-to-action-shop/things-youre-good-at , actually it’s the exact same.
After theses spreads I leave a few pages blank for whatever I might need to write down during the month and in the end of the month I do a goodbye December spread where I do a recap of the month.
So this is how I bullet journal, I hope I gave you some inspiration for your bullet journal. If you have any tips for me leave them in the comments. In a week or two I will also show you how I set up my 2021 bullet journal so stay tuned for that.
