October Bullet Journal

Sometimes I make my bullet journal very fancy and do a lot of drawings on the pages and plan out the whole month with monthly pages, and weekly layouts.

Other times I just need to get a bit organised.

This month I need to just be organised.

As I need to be more organised I picked up my bullet journal for the first time since July and made a very simple plan for the month.

I did a planner for the month so I can see what we have planned for every day this month.

I did a page for Important Dates as we have so many birthdays and celebrations this month.

I then made a very simple daily planner.

I am doing this very differently this month and actually just filling out the days each evening as I have loads to get through and instead of having lists all over the place I thought I would do them all in the bullet journal for a change.

Doing it this way means I have the monthly plans in front of me and each day I can do a list of what needs to be done or move things from one day to another. Simply and easily.

I am hoping that by the end of the month I will have achieved a few things and got a lot of what I want to be finished.

But lots of them are huge tasks.

So as long as they have a dent made in them I will be happy.

I feel better that I have it all written down rather than just rolling around in my head like they have been for the past few weeks and driving me mad with everything that I need to do.

It means I feel a little less stressed and I am getting things down and today I feel like I have been pretty productive.

Probably the most productive all this week.

Let hope this new way of using my bullet journal will actually work, as I quite like it being simple and easy to use and not to complicated.

Taking it back from being fancy has definitely helped this month as I wouldn’t have picked it up if I wanted it fancy looking as I just don’t have the time at the moment.

Making it simple means it is working for me, and that is the point of a bullet journal isn’t it, just making it work for you however that is, pretty and fancy or simple and easy.
