So you already saw the 2024 BuJo setup which is for the whole year itself. Now let's move on to the monthly spreads. :D
For January, I got the flowery theme inspired by Erin Smith's January 2023 Romantic Floral Theme Setup. I love this month cos I see it as a symbol for rebirth and also cos it's my birth month lol.
I printed the pink floral pattern that I downloaded from here, and the flowers design from here.
On the left is a blank one for now since I have to look for a quote first or whatever motivational stuff there which I can just add later. :P
On the next page, I got the monthly calendar. All of the important events for the day will be written here.
Next is the habit tracker and brain dump for the month. For habit tracker, I can just put a color or dot for every single day that I do my journal, skincare, etc. After a month, it would be interesting to see how often I do things and if there is even an improvement for those.
I didn't want to make the calendars again and again so I just did that on Photoshop and printed them lol.
Then here we go with the monthly tasks, notes, and focus here. I just like writing the whole focus one and whatever is the focus for the weeks on the right side to remind me of stuff. The tasks section is there as well so I can just write the tasks that I needed to do but haven't been scheduled yet. Although one might just put this in brain dump section, I will be focusing my thoughts and random stuff on brain dump and just put the tasks here specifically.
So here goes the weekly spreads. On week 1, I immediately made a mistake. I wanted to start my weeks on Sundays and I just realized not all week for the month will have 7 days so I put an extra on the 7th box. I just put my picture there and some cheesy affirmation as a decoration as well.
The weekly has a waterfall pages style which I really like.
At the end of the month, I like to have a reflections page where I can just get an overall reflection for the month since writing them can make me realize things and remember them better so I can improve the next coming months.
The elements were downloaded from here and here. All from Freepik. Damn, a printer, sticker paper, and Freepik really gives you a superpower lol.
So that's my setup for January. I like the customization part of Bullet Journals, really, which planners can't do. I only included the things that I can use to not waste any pages and not distract me from things that actually matter.
I really love the decoration aspect of it and the fact that I can have different themes for different months. And also the fact that none of my pages warped so they stay nice and flat. :P
What do you have in your January setup?
