Plan With Me: June 2020 Bullet Journal Setup (Strawberries and Bicycles)

Hello blogosphere! Here is a showcase of my June 2020 bullet journal spreads. This month’s doodles are strawberries and bicycles. I thought that this ode to summer would be an adorable theme for my bullet journal. Although I live on the California coast and June is defined by fog, or “June Gloom” as we call it, I still decided to go with a summer theme.

I have officially been bullet journaling for two years! My first bullet journal theme was watermelons in June 2018, and I have improved a lot over the course of a couple of years…if I do say so myself! Although for some reason I don’t have access to my very first bullet journal setup, click the link to view my second bullet journal theme, daisies, here. Yikes…but at least I’ve improved!

I also just recently updated my blog design, as you can probably tell! I am honestly so happy with it and was feeling the need for a change! I am still keeping my signature silver arrow for dividing sections and website format, but have edited my headers.

Supplies

• Bullet Journal: Archer and Olive Bullet Journal
• Calligraphy Pen: Faber Castell Black Pitt Artist Pen
• Markers: Crayola Supertips
• Fineliners: Sakura Pigma Microns

These are just a few of my favorite stationary supplies to bullet journal with! Some people just use a dotted notebook and a black pen. Others use paint, calligraphy pens, markers, washi tape, and the list goes on! It’s honestly a personal preference whether to go “all-out” or to utilize a more minimalistic approach to bullet journal

Cover Page

My cover page features strawberry doodles and a bicycle on a hill on the left. The song “Strawberry Fields” by The Beatles reminded me of this month’s theme, so I included a quote.

Monthly View

This next spread is my monthly view. On the left is another bicycle doodle and a notes section.

Writing and Running Tracker

This spread features a writing tracker to the right and a running tracker to the left. I think that habit trackers are a valuable way to chart progress throughout the month. With habit trackers, you can choose whatever you want to chart and then keep track of it! Whether you want to keep an eye on fitness, academic/work-related, financial or personal goals, habit trackers offer a great way to stay motivated and organized! I find that if I keep up on my habit trackers, I’m much more likely to achieve my monthly goals.

Weekly Spread

The last spread I will be showcasing today is my weekly spread. It is quite simple and minimalistic, but I loved the way it turned out!

Plan With Me: April 2020 Bullet Journal Setup

Hello blogosphere! I’ve been really active lately on the blog, but I haven’t had the chance to showcase my April bullet journal spreads. My bullet journal theme for this month is water droplets and umbrellas.

I was inspired to choose this because it has been particularly rainy this past week, which is unusual for where I live. Typically, rainy days are my favorite; what’s better than captivating storm clouds and curling up to read a book? However, as I’ve been in quarantine for more than three weeks now, rainy weather is more dreary than dreamy.

Supplies

• Bullet Journal: Paperage Dotted Journal
• Calligraphy Pen: Tombow Dual Brush Pens
• Markers: Crayola Supertips
• Highlighters: Zebra Midliners
• Fineliners: Sakura Pigma Microns
• Washi tape: Typo

Cover Page

Here is my cover page! I doodled a couple of umbrellas and water droplets surrounding the cover page to tie in the theme. I used Crayola Markers to color them in. I wrote the quote “the storm will pass” to remind myself that even when times are tough or life is dull, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. ❤︎

Monthly Calendar

The next spread is my monthly calendar, which is a quick glimpse into the month of April. I haven’t filled it out yet, but that’s because I prefer to keep my spreads plain when posting them on social media, to protect my privacy and keep a minimalist look.

Trackers

I honestly really love how this spread turned out! I think that the wash tape tied in really well to the theme. The tracker on the left is a writing goals sheet for writing contest NaNoWriMo. My final word count goal is 18,000 words. Although I am much further along than displayed in this image, I decided to keep it blank! The next tracker is my exercise/running tracker. With quarantine, my goal is to work out at least six days a week.

Weekly Spread

Lastly, I have my daily spread for the week of April 6th-12th. I kept a minimalistic style with bubble letters for the date. Honestly, I’m really happy with how this spread turned out! 😀

Plan With Me: May 2019 Bullet Journal Setup (Palm Trees)

Greetings bookish friends! Here is my May Plan With Me blog post. In eager anticipation for summer, I decided to do a palm tree theme. I hope you enjoy!

Supplies:

• Bullet Journal: Archer and Olive
• Calligraphy Pen: Tombow Dual Brush Pens
• Markers: Crayola Supertips
• Highlighters: Zebra Midliners
• Fineliners: Sakura Pigma Microns
• White pen: Gelly Roll White Gel Pen

Here’s my cover page! I doodled some palm trees and did a quote in calligraphy. I can’t wait for summer!

Next is mymonthly log. I did a huge calligrahy piece of the word “May” and think it turned out really cool! I used both my tombow dual brush pens and crayola supertips to create this blending affect. I used my zebra midliners and white gelly roll pen to finish it off and  added some black and grey shadows to make it pop!

This is my mood tracker and reading tracker! I decided to make my mood tracker simple and just drew in some plain square boxes. But formy reading tracker, I drew a big palm tree in the middle and put in a little box to show my reading goals for that month.

And lastly, here is my first weekly spread. The only day that is filled in is Sunday, which is unusual because usually everything in my bullet journal is completely filled out! On the bottom right-hand corner I have an events section and a small palm tree doodle.

Thank you for reading this post. Please follow my blog to receive email updates whenever I post.
