Hey guys.
Today, I'm planning for the month of August in my bullet journal, and the theme for August is Hogwarts houses.
By the way, if you want to help me choose my theme each month,
I post the poll on Studying Amino, which I'll link in the description.
So, first I'm drawing banners in the four Hogwarts house colors, with cutouts of their mascots.
I'm using the Tombow Dual Brush markers, and I'll list the colors I'm using in the description.
I'll also link all of the other products are used in this video.
Now, I'm writing in the title, "August," using a black marker and a ruler.
And I use a white pen and correction fluid to clean up the mistakes.
Here, I'm adding in a small calendar overview of the month.
And now, I'm inking the Hogwarts silhouette that's along the bottom.
You might be able to see the faint pencil outline. I planned out some of these layouts beforehand,
but, I didn't include my sketching process in the video because it was so light, that it was barely visible on camera.
After filling it in completely black, I went back in with a white pen to add in the window outlines and other light stuff.
Now, I'm writing in headers for my video plans, tasks, and finances.
Here, I'm flipping back to my video ideas and summer video plan spreads to fill out my video plans.
I'm making some final touch-ups on this "U" and then switching over to the next set of monthly spreads.
First, I lettered, "Wingardium Leviosa," and a feather, because this is one of Hermoine's most iconic spells, and
underneath, I wrote, "Channel Hermione this school year."
And now, I'm just going to be drawing a ton of boxes. In fact, I drew 60 boxes in all.
I plan to use these instead of a habit tracker because it feels more like you have to finish each box instead of just keep track
of what you've done or not.
And now, I'm writing in the habits I want to track, which is "Study like Hermione," and "Be Mindful."
This next page is my monthly overview, which I divided into two sections.
School and personal.
The headings at the top of each column are silhouettes of Hogwarts.
And I don't know if you can tell - it kind of looks like a porcupine, but that's meant to be Hogsmeade.
I'm highlighting each Monday - that way,
I have a clear idea of where the week's divided.
And now, I'm using the Tombow Brush markers in the same four house colors to color in the feather.
And now, let's start with the weekly spreads. The first one is going to be Gryffindor.
I printed out the crests of all four houses, and now I'm pasting them in.
Then, I colored in the top using the same Tombow Brush marker house color,
and the columns on each side are for the weekly overviews.
This one has two because the first two weeks of August, I'm still on summer break,
so, I'm using a half a spread for each week, but in the rest of the spreads one week will be one full spread.
My weekly overview includes the two videos I'll release, any events, and a task list.
I'm flipping back to my monthly spread to add in the videos, tasks, and the dates on the top banner.
Here's what my daily headers look like, although, I'm not going to add in any of the rest yet.
And now, onto the next weekly spread, which is Hufflepuff.
If you were wondering, I'm doing all of these houses in rainbow order based on their house colors.
This process is pretty much the same as the one I did for the Gryffindor spread,
except there's only going to be one weekly overview, because this whole spread is just through one week.
And now, I'm working on the third weekly spread, which is for the fourth week in August, and this spread is Slytherin themed.
Here, I realized that I never added any of my events into my monthly spread, so I went back and added them in.
Last, but not least, a Ravenclaw themed spread.
I personally think that I would be in Ravenclaw.
Although, fun fact, I've taken the Pottermore sorting quiz four times, and each time I got a different house.
What's your Hogwarts house? Let me know in the comments!
Here are all of the finished spreads.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
I definitely loved making it, and I'm sure I'm going to love using these Hogwarts spreads during August.
