At the start of each month I create a new section in my bullet journal.
I start with the month at the top of the page, then draw a small dates calendar, and note any reminders (birthday, travel, events, days off)
Then I set 3 or 4 goals for that month.
I keep it simple, nothing complicated. Just little things I want to do to enjoy my time such as paint, go to a park, buy a new plant, read a book, or do a puzzle etc.

On the bottom I create a space to add a sticker at the end of the month to reflect the overall time.
(for example- a sticker of flowers if I started a new garden)
On the second page I create a day tracker system. You can get creative with this!
I change it up based on the season. I use a stencil to design shapes to color in based on the day.
(for example- orange for happy, blue for sad, gray for stressed)
The third and fourth page I leave blank to jot down any journal entries about what I did on a particular day.
In the future I can look back on the year to see what months were good, bad, average, or exciting, while also recording memories.

I’ve heard a lot about bullet journals and they seem so nice! Such a creative and fun way to stay organized!
Yes! It’s a fun way to stay organized! I think of it as scrapbooking in a simpler way.
