Hello guys!
Today, as promised,
I want to show you my Bullet Journal Setup for 2016
This is a very simple, black,
Moleskine soft cover notebook
with squared paper
I really rely on Moleskine notebooks because
I know they will last for the entire year
I love the paper quality, the softness of the cover,
so I always stick with Moleskine for bullet journaling.
In my first page we have a very simple layout,
It just says "2016"
and I have here a cardstock sticker
from American Crafts
that says "the future is bright".
In the second page I have my index,
and I normally don't write down my index immediately
When I'm trying to figure out
my setup, I normally use
stickers or pieces of sticky notes
to track down my pages, and if I need to
somehow interchange them,
I'll just peel off the sticker and stick it again.
As you can see from my index,
my bullet journals normally consist on two main aspects.
First of all I have a daily
a daily view
to track my tasks
and to be able to understand what I need to do
for that day or that month
and in the back of my bullet journal
I normally use my specific pages
with tables to track my expenses,
my workouts
anything like that, that is very specific,
and I know that I will need to
refer to immediately
I will always put it in the back of my Bullet journal
and you'll see that in a few minutes.
Flipping over the page,
I have my goals for 2016
in the left page,
so I can always refer back to them,
when I'm feeling less motivated or inspired,
I have
six squares, each of them represent a part of my life,
which I want to improve in,
I have "school life", "writting",
"family and friends", my "youtube channel",
a "personal level" and "health".
And after my goals I immediately start with my daily view.
My daily view
I mean, I've just started my bullet journal now,
my daily view is very simple
I just keep track of the dates,
in which I want to complete a certain task,
and after the day ends,
and I need to complete another task for the following day,
I'll just open another entry
and fill that out
So I have no specific layouts
I don't plan my layouts,
I actually normally use a regular planner to plan for my week,
and my month,
so my bullet journal
is kind of a productivity tool,
for me to keep track of daily tasks.
As you can see all of my pages are numbered
so I can insert them in my index more easily,
and then, for the interesting part,
we go to the back of the bullet journal.
So here I just have a very simple
pocket sleeve
with nothing in it right now
And here is where my specific spreads start.
In here I have a class schedule for my second semester,
which isn't filled out yet because
my college hasn't "published" the schedules yet.
This is a school calendar
for February, March,
April, May, June and July,
which represent a full second semester for me,
I have a key which indicates
which colours are the weekends,
my vacation or holidays,
my finale xams,
my midterms,
and my seminars or optional classes.
so I keep this
right in the back, so I can
quickly open it up
and see
which class I'm going to have next,
or in which day I'm going to have an exam, etc.
In here I have a youtube video tracker with a 12 months layout,
So I can keep track of what videos I'm going to film
for the following months,
because normally I make school related videos,
or planning/organization videos
So I wil mark them with their respective colors
so I can see in a certain month
if I'm uploading too many videos related to school
or too many videos related to planning/organization.
I also have a color for collabs and a color for reviews.
Next I have a social media tracker,
with all the months of the year and the days
It also has a key so I can know
in which days I upload a video,
or publish an Instagram post
or a Tumblr post
or I'm replying to comments
I make this table to
make sure that I'm "behaving cohesively" on my social media
so you guys can know what I'm doing,
and if I'm not keeping away from the internet for too long
Then I have a page for youtube video requests,
which I haven't filled out yet
because I have a lot of pending requests,
in an old list and I need to fill this out, so
I make sure that your requests are actually being filmed and published.
This is my youtube brainstorming page,
I normally post here any sticky notes with ideas,
or people I want to collab with,
I keep it all together here
and whenever I make the video I want,
or make the collab I want,
I'll just peel off that sticky note
So it's just a main page for ideas and notes
This is a dashboard for my second semester preparation
I have here "textbooks and materials"
which I need to buy,
Stationery and materials (supplies) as well
For example I have here "buy one moleskine notebook
per class and "buy a binder for all classes".
Here is a tracker of the elective courses or seminars
which I want to enroll in
for the next semester
And here are my mandatory classes
with the name of the professors
so I'll always remember
And finally, I have a wishlist for 2016
It's a personal items list, like
"getting new sneakers for the gym",
or a "new pair of jeans"
And here I have a list
of book I've read in 2016!
Last year I read
a few books, just
16 or 17 books
and I really want to
read a lot more because college takes a toll on me
and I end up reading more about Law
than the books I really want to read
so I need to change that this year.
So that's all for my very simple setup
If you think my bullet journal setup is way too simple,
that because I actually use
a Filofax planner
so my Filofax planner
actually complements my bullet journal
and vice-versa, so that's why
both of them are simple planning systems
because I have two
and they complement each other
I will film
a Filofax setup video very soon
I will probably upload it in February
So keep an eye out for that
And I will also refer
how I incorporate both of these planning systems together
and how I use them,
which one I carry the most,
where I plan weekly, where I plan daily,
so you'll understand how a planner
and a bullet journal actually work very well
Thank you for watching! Bye!
