- [Amanda] Hey guys it's Amanda and welcome back
to my channel and today's video is going to be
a Plan With Me for the month of March.
And I'm gonna be showing you guys my Bullet Journal
this month and how I've been setting it up
and what I've changed from the previous month.
So, as you can see, right now I'm just setting up
my cover page for March and last month my theme was sort of
like roses and flowers and that sort of things.
And this month I thought I would switch it up
and do something fun and tropical, kind of like palm leaves
that's kind of gonna be like my repeating motif
throughout this month.
And the color that I chose was green which you'll see
in a bit but I'm just drawing a bunch of palm leaves
around the word March and I really like the way
that this turned out, I thought it was really fun.
The colors that I ended up using were these Crayola
Super-Tips markers and I recently got these
and I absolutely love them.
I actually got a bunch of the colors,
I think I got the 50 pack but as you can see
I chose three of the greens and I'm just coloring in
the leaves.
Side-note, if you guys want me to do a stationery haul
let me know because I did buy a bunch of different markers
and tapes and pens and that sort of thing.
So comment below if you wanna see a stationery haul.
I also ended up using the Zebra Mild-Liner in the shade
green, so it's just a fun assortment of greens
on this title page.

Flipping over to the next page, we're gonna start
setting up the monthly spread for March.
And I'm just gonna be sticking with the same vertical
number layout that I used in the passed two months
but I did actually find an issue with this last month
and that is, if there's more than one event per day
it's kind of hard to fit it all in.
So I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions
on what I can do,
maybe I can double-space it or something, I don't know.
I don't really like to use the grid calendar layout,
the traditional monthly calendar because I don't like
squishing it into squares so that's kind of why I used this
but, I don't know, I need to figure out a solution to this.
And then on the other page I'm just setting up my Future Log
as well as my Monthly YouTube Growth Checker.
Now in my last Plan With Me video I got a bunch of comments
saying, wow I wish I could do this but I'm not good
at drawing or I'm not very artistic.
So I partnered up with GraphicStock and I've been using
their website because they have such a large library
of graphics, specters and illustration.
They have almost 350 000 images to use
and if you were to just look up images on the internet,
they are usually super low-quality and pixely
or if they are high-quality
they have a water mark over them.
So that's what's awesome about Graphic Stock,
they are all high-resolution and they're royalty free.
So you can use them videos or you can either
print them out and sell them as stickers of you wanted to
and you won't get hit with a copyright claim.
So if you wanna try them out and maybe use some of these
in your Bullet Journal,
I will leave the link down below to a seven day free-trial
which gives you access to to the whole
library for free but I wanted to show you guys how I used
a bunch of these images
that I printed out from GraphicStock.
I printed them out on cream paper because my Loish term
1917 journal sort of has a yellowish tint to the pages
and I'm cutting out the ones that I wanna use
but you can totally cut out a lot of them and then just have
them on hand whenever you're setting them up.
As you can see, I've kind of played around with the layout
which is another awesome thing about using cutouts like this
is you can kind of shift all of the cutouts around
until you like that way that it looks
and you don't need to commit to it right away.
I'm using this glue-tape dispenser in order to stick
the cutouts onto the page, it's basically just like
double-sided tape but in a white-out dispenser form.
It's really awesome to have on hand because it basically
turns any paper into a sticker.
As you can see I'm also drawing over the stickers
which is something that you can do, you don't just have to
use the stickers you can kind of customize them.
So I'm inserting little flowers and leaves into
the mason-jar stickers that I put on
and I loved that way that this turned out.
Next I just went ahead and filled in what I had planned
for March, so I just kind of referred back and forth
between the yearly log and the monthly log.
And if you don't know how all of these logs and modules work
I definitely recommend checking out my initial
Bullet Journal video.
I got a lot of comments on my last video asking about them
so I definitely do recommend checking that one out
because I explain how everything works.
I will leave the card in the corner there
if you haven't watched that already.
Flipping over to the next page, off course, I have to set up
my trackers and I decided to go for a different
sort of decoration vibe for this page.
So as you can see I stuck with the leaf theme,
everything else is pretty much the same though.
On the other side I did do my expense tracker again,
stuck with the same theme just basically
doing the green leaves throughout the whole month.
That's something you're gonna see a lot of
during this video.
Kind of a funny story, last month I ran out of space
in my expense tracker, one page was not enough
which is probably a bad thing and it probably means
I spent too much money.
So my goal this month is to just stick to this one page,
hopefully I can achieve it.
Flipping over to the next page, I wanted to set up
my monthly video idea brainstorm page.
I actually ended up hating what I did for the title
so I used the cream paper as well as the glue-tape
to cover it up.
Kind of like a band-aid so that I could redo it
and I also used some more GraphicStock stickers to decorate.
On the other page I made a brain dump page,
I had one of these last month and I loved how it worked.
I kinda just used it as a place to dump any lists
or reminders that I needed for that month.
Off course, I've gotta decorate these pages so I drew
some more leaves and then I also printed out a mason-jar
from GraphicStock and I put this cute little quote on it
that said, full of ideas
and I think it just looks really adorable.
The last thing I'm gonna be setting up are my weekly
and daily spreads and this is probably what changed
the most last month.
I ended up switching from doing a full weekly spread
to just a tiny little layout in the corner there.
I did this because I realized, the only thing I was using
the weekly logs for was to see an overview of the week
and events that I have.
And maybe if I have an extra busy week I will go back
to the full weekly logs as well as the daily logs
but as of right now, I kind of like
having more space in my daily logs.
So as you can see I'm just pre-setting up my daily logs.
(mid-tempo relaxing music)
And then using the thin-tipped side of the Zebra Mild-Liner
I drew some more leaves.
You guys are probably tired of seeing these leaves but,
I just really like the way that it looks.
But I used this as background for the numbers
and I'm just writing out the numbers on top.
I realized that I messed up and Wednesday is definitely
not the 29th, the 29th does not exist this year.
So I ended up doing the whole band-aid method
with the cream paper and fixing it right up.
I feel like I could make a whole video on fixing
Bullet Journal mistakes because I definitely made
my fair share of stupid mistakes.
But anyways, in the corner as I mentioned,
I have my weekly overview and in order to fill this
empty space next to it, I put more of the mason-jar
stickers from GraphicStock and filled them in
with more flowers and leaves and that sort of thing.
I don't know, I just really really loved these mason-jar
stickers as you can probably tell.
I kind of just wanna cut out a bunch of them
and always have them on hand which I might end up doing.
Lastly I just filled in my weekly overview as well as
my daily log for Monday because that was the day
that it was when I was filming it.
But here is the final flip through of my
March Bullet Journal set up.
