Journal Part 4

I had planned to show before and after photos on how I have changed my bullet journal since starting, but I am going to do something else on this post.  I am working on my September weekly pages.  I am looking for a layout that I think will work for me.  To see what works for me, I am going to list what I have learned from journaling since March.

1. Having a tracker for chores does not work for me.  I have to see what I need to do every day.  It needs to be in a list form.

2. A monthly calendar works for me, but not the list of dates for the month.  I like to see what I have week by week.

3. I added Blog Ideas into my journal, but never used it.  I track my ideas of what posts I want to do in here by saving it.  I had that in July so in August it is no more.

4. In July, I started a small box to remind myself of what tv shows or movies I want to watch.  This is going to stay.  I forget what I want to watch.

5.  I worked ahead and skipped pages and did the monthly calendars up to and including October.  Now I am thinking maybe I should of skipped more pages. 

6. I am creative, but I feel like my bullet journal could be more creative.  In the coming months, I want to see more creativity.

7. I am working on adding more collections to my bujo.  After I get November pages done, I want a page or 2 on planning Thanksgiving dinner.  I want to add pages for Christmas.  Gift ideas for the kids and Cards to send out list.  I am thinking after the Thanksgiving pages.  I also want to have a page or 2 on planning Christmas dinner.

8.  My habits were on the weekly pages and I am moving them to my monthly calendar page because I won't have the room for them.

9. I want to add menu planning and a shopping list in with my weeklies, but right now I am not sure if I skipped enough pages.  Grr!

10.  My layouts for my weeklies have changed, but I am still looking for that layout that has it all for me.  My plan is to design my own with inspirations from others (I want to highlight them in a separate post).

11. In my weeklies, I need to add my appointments first (not down the column) because it gets crowded with my to do list.

12.  I have been thinking of going Monday to Sunday, but I am not sure if I can.  I love the idea of having Saturday and Sunday being highlighted with the word weekend, but how to do it since I have been doing Sunday to Saturday since March?

13. I am adding a box in my weekly for soccer if my son, Noah, makes the team.  Tryouts are August 22.  I need to track games and practices and locations!

I think that is it.  It helped me get all of that out.  Maybe now I can find those layouts for September.
