Bullet Journal Set Up for July 2019
Hello everyone!
I
can't believe we're already approaching July 2019 - we're officially
into the later half of the year! This month my bullet journal theme is
much simpler than last month's. When I went to use my bullet journal
last month I realised I hated the set up I'd done, so I ended up barely
using it last month. Hopefully I won't have the same problem this month!
As
always, I started this month with my cover page. I drew two wonky
circles, and decorated one circle with daisies and the other one with
stars. I then used some alphabet stamps to write the lettering of the
month. I love this cover page; it's so simple but it's still got little
detailed elements that I love!
Over
the page, I wrote out the numbers for my three goals and decorated them
with similar wreaths to my cover page. I have yet to decide my goals
for this month, but I'm very happy with the page! I again used my
alphabet stamps to write the title of the page, and drew a line across
the top with a yellow highlighter to continue the colour scheme.
On
the opposite page, I set up my habit trackers for the month. To ensure
the spread was more simple than last month's, I used dots instead of
numbers to mark the dates. I continued the theme of the yellow stripe
and alphabet stamps on all of the pages.
I
did a calendar spread to be able to see the whole month at a glance. Of
course I will still fill in my daily/weekly spreads with events, but I
think it's useful to be able to see what your whole month looks like in
terms of important dates! I tried not to add too much decoration so that
it was nice and simple again, but I did add a row of daisies up one
side of the calendar and stars up the other.
For
the first time ever, I decided to do a page for 'a line a day'. The
idea of these pages is that you write a phrase or sentence summing up
what you did that day, or something that made you happy that day. I'm
hoping that, if I use this page properly, I'll have a month full of
happy memories to look back on at the end of the month.
One
of the most useful spreads that I've been doing recently is a post
schedule. Of course you know I run a blog, but I also have a YouTube
channel, and it's so helpful for me to have a list like this where I can
see which posts are going up when. I tried to lay out this month's post
schedule as simply as possible. My schedule is that I post every
Wednesday and Sunday at 7:30pm UK time, so I've laid out my post
schedule with either day and the date of it.
My
spreads for the month are some of the simplest I've done, and I'm very
happy with them! I've left myself plenty of space for my to-do lists,
and I love the wreaths surrounding the date numbers. I also used my
alphabet stamps to write the days of the week. Finally, I alternated
between leaving a space at the top of the left hand page or the bottom
of the right hand page, and where the space was at the top, I drew stars
hanging from strings, which I then included in the wreaths. Where the
gap was at the bottom, I drew daisies, and used daisies in the wreaths
throughout the spreads.
Overall,
I'm very chuffed with this month's spreads. They are reasonably simple,
but still included enough decoration to keep me entertained as I set
them up, and to make me happy as I begin to use them! I hope you've
enjoyed this post and found it a useful source of inspiration for your
own bullet journal set ups.
