Hey Loves,
It’s Emma here! I’m back at it again with another individual post.
Today I wanted to share some journal ideas with you. Over quarantine, I have recently gotten back into bullet journaling. I have always loved doing this, just never found the time. I’m so excited to be getting back into it now. Journaling is something that is so relaxing yet super fun. The thing that I love so much about journaling is you don’t need much supplies to start. If you're interested in learning more about the world of bullet journaling keep reading!!
Materials you need to start your journal:
Any journal (ones with little dots are traditional journals, but anything will do)
Pens
Pencil
Erasers
Ruler
Any type of markers, gel pens, or colored pencils
Extra materials I love using (completely optional):
Cute sticky notes/scrap papers
Calligraphy pens
Washi tape
Stickers
Here's my journal!! I'm currently covering it in stickers. I hope to cover the whole thing someday haha.
♡♡Ok now let's get into some ideas for your journal!!♡♡
1.) Monthly spreads
I think this is such a good idea to organize everything. All you do is pick a theme for the month and make a calendar. It's super easy and you can make it however you want. I love writing birthdays, school events, dance classes, swim practices, and more in these calendars. If you google "monthly bullet journal spreads" you can get many ideas!
2.) Weekly spreads
I love these spreads to help me keep track of my homework. This is good in addition to the monthly spread because you can keep track of more things. You can personalize this to whatever you want, but I like to just make boxes for each day of the week and then I can write different things inside of them.
3.) Habit trackers
I really need to start doing more of these in my journal! I think they are so cute and cool to reflect on at the end of the month. You just make a box for all the days in that month and title it whatever you want to track. Every day that you do that thing then you fill in the box to represent that you did it!!
4.) Playlists
I have actually not done this idea in my journal yet. You can pick out some of your favorite songs that month and print/draw them to show that's what you were listening to that month. I think this is so cool and later in the year you can go back and see what music you were into.
5.) Bucket lists
This is by far one of my fav ideas!! You just make a list of anything you want and add checkboxes. This way when you do it you can check it off. Some ideas of lists you can do are summer bucket list, holiday bucket list, 2020 bucket list, and so much more!!
6.) Skin Care routine
This one may sound weird and you may be thinking how can I do this in a journal?? But let me explain. You can write each step of your routine and add little drawings to represent the products! So cute right??
7.) Goals
This is just what it sounds like. You can write a list of things you are working towards to motivate yourself. You can either do this for yearly goals, monthly goals, or even weekly goals!
8.) Birthdays
Make a cute page with a box or design for every month in the year. Then write your family or friends' names in the box with their birthday. This way you will never forget.
9.) Page about you
Write your name on the page and draw or write all of your fav things! This is such a cute way to represent what your fav show is, movies, candy, food, books, celebrities, quotes, and more.
10.) You're aesthetic page
You can print, write, or draw things that represent your aesthetic. This could include your style, fav color pallet, or just photos that represent you. The picture below is an example that I made in my journal. This page was about my style!!
I really hope you guys get inspired to make your own journal after reading this. If you do, make sure to email me a picture of it… I would love to see it. If you want part two of more ideas comment down below. If you're still here, comment 🦋.
