Hey guys! Today, I'll be planning in my bullet journal for my set up for January 2019.
First on the left side, I'm lettering a quote from Harry Potter,
specifically from Hagrid, which is "What's coming will come, and we'll meet it when it does."
This is a reminder that no matter how nervous I feel about something,
It's going to happen anyway, so the best I can do is be prepared and meet things as they happen.
I'm doing most of my lettering with this black marker, including faux calligraphy. I'll link a video guide to focal calligraphy in the cards right now.
Then I drew a banner and I'll be writing on top of it with a white pen. If you'd like
advice on how to draw banners and do headers similar to that, I will also link my header ideas video in the cards.
So I'm defining the banner shape with the white pen, and then adding the letters on top.
Moving on, underneath the quote, I'm doing an overview calendar for January.
So for the titles for the days of the week, I did a black circle with white letters, and then now I'm drawing a box.
This time for the monthly set up,
I'm not going to be doing the usual planning setup that I have, because if you watched my 2019 a plan with me video,
I made a grid calendar for each month, and I thought it would be redundant to copy everything back over again to this side.
So instead, I'll just refer to that to planning set.
Now I'm moving on to my video-planning setup.
I'm using those black dots with white letters on top again, like I did with the January monthly overview.
This time for my video setup,
I decided to add these icons, and then some bubbles that you'll see later on to help me keep track of the tasks that I need
to do to make sure each video is completed and ready to be posted.
So that includes writing, voiceovers, filming, editing, uploading, and
tagging with end screens, and the cards and stuff.
I'm referring back to my video plan setup to fill in my videos for this month.
Now I'm adding in the title, which says "videos," using the white pen, and I didn't like the way I drew this box,
so I used whiteout to fix it up a bit. And now moving on to the next section,
Which is a brain dump space. If you watched my video called "Waste a Journal,"
which is about, well, different ways to journal,
One of my ideas was a brain dump, and I thought this would be fun to try and see if I actually like doing this,
So this month, I'm trying this method of journaling and I'm sure in future months,
I'll try some more different things that I mentioned in my wasted journal video. I missed a dot here,
so I'm adding that back in, and
Now I'm using the same white pen to add in the title. My theme for this month is fairly black-and-white.
I'm just using a black pen, a black marker, and a white pen.
I'm cleaning everything up with an eraser and then I'm moving on it to the next spread.
You might have noticed from my
2019 plan with me, that a lot of the things that I used to track in
my monthly setups have now been grouped together in my yearly setup, like my finance tracker and
my overview event planning for the month.
Obviously, this means that my monthly setups are not going to be particularly elaborate, or have a lot of spreads.
In fact, this second one is also the last one.
So first,
I did a banner in the middle of the page.
This banner in the middle of the page type of thing was inspired by AmandaRachLee, who I will link in the description if you want to check out her videos.
So this spread is titled "9 For 2019,"
and in this spread,
I will be reflecting on the goals that I set in my 9-For-2019 spread.
Again, if you want to see that, I'll plug my 2019 plan with me video, one last time.
The way that this works is I have four boxes, one for each Sunday in January.
I'll be titling them with the date where I'm supposed to fill it out. The way this works is pretty similar to the thing
I showed into my waste a journal video. Sorry, I keep plugging my own videos, but you really should watch them.
I'll have them linked in the description and the card.
And in each of these boxes,
I have space for four (4) different goals,
which are the four goals that I choose to focus on for January. Every Sunday, at the end of every week,
I will look back at the previous week and write down the progress that I made toward each goal, and
Whether there's anything I should change, so I can improve my ability to reach my goals.
The four goals that I picked for January are (#1) number one, to reduce the amount of time
I spend on social media, (#3) number three, journal at least one time a week,
(#6) number six, get my two mile time or 3,200 meter time, under 1,140, and
(#9) number nine, apply to college with minimal stress. My steps for reducing social media usage and
journaling are pretty clear,
but for the ones related to running, and for applying to college, my goal in this pretty early stage is
to attend pre-season track practice and work hard there, and for applying to college I would like to keep my grades pretty good and
do some more research about my options for colleges and majors.
As you can see, now that this spread is mostly done,
I have headers for progress short for what progress have I made, and changes short for "What Changes Should I Make."
After cleaning everything up with an eraser, here are my two completed spreads for January.
If you'd like to see more of my bullet journaling videos, I will have them linked in the description.
I hope you enjoyed this video, and this is my last Friday upload. For 2019, I'll be uploading every Monday.
