Bullet Journal October Spread

Three months ago, I decided to ditch a formal planner system and try out bullet journaling. For those who may not be familiar with this system, here is the website from the actual creator of the bullet journal system. I was first drawn to bullet journals because it meant that I could be in charge of the layout instead of constantly searching for the “perfect planner”. What is amazing about bullet journaling is that you aren’t tied down to one specific layout or design. If you get bored with how something looks, you have the power to change it. And honestly, I’m in love with my journal.

Here she is, my first bullet journal. I hope to continue bullet journaling, so I decided to decorate it with stickers representing my current interests. It will definitely be something cool to look back on over the years.

So, to get started, here is my title page for October. I don’t usually do these pages but I was inspired by Amanda Rachel Lee on YouTube. Her bullet journal layouts are gorgeous and it’s fun to try and recreate her spreads.

Next is my monthly layout which is inspired by Boho Berry. I used to do just one column but after seeing how hers was split up by morning, afternoon and all day, I wanted to try it out. I also started incorporating washi tape into my spreads. This pumpkin one is from the dollar section in Target.

As part of my monthly spread, I like to track some things throughout the month like habits and sleep. I’ve also tried tracking my mood but I can never keep with it. So, when I saw Amanda Rach Lee using a “color the numbers” type of thing, I immediately wanted to try it out. I also like that it keeps it in the fall theme I have.

The final pages for my monthly spread is for October memories. I’ve been using these pages to keep movie ticket stubs, pictures, or really anything that is a physical keepsake I can tape into the pages. Again, I’m hoping it is something I can look back on in the years to come.

The last spread that I will be showing you is for my weekly layout. Again, I’ve been really into washi tape recently.

Setting up these pages has been very relaxing to me and it makes me excited whenever I get to utilize the pages I’ve set up. And it’s not set in stone. If there is a spread that I didn’t use, I can do something else the next month.

Happy October and thanks for reading!
