#bujo setup

RETTACY Dotted Journal 2-Pack – A5 Hardcover Notebooks

Finally found the perfect dotted journals for my bujo and daily planning! The 120gsm paper is thick enough for my fountain pens with zero bleedthrough, and the numbered pages make indexing a breeze. Comes in a handy 2-pack too! Check the link for details!

Every year I'm like "allocate some time to do the bujo thing because it takes a while" and every year it takes longer than I anticipate.

Still hacking away at it but we've got some Monthly spreads drawn up! It's a good start, right?

Now we ran into issues last year.

I'd forgotten to move to the next page in the calendar app on my computer that I was using to get dates from. So December ended up being a repeat of November. It took me like 8? 9 months? To finally get around to finding some stickers and ordering them to fix the spread.

(I mean in the end it looked pretty cute anyway. The circles worked, even if I miscalculated and got two-tone that meant I didn't have *quite* enough of the blue. But it balanced out, because work was finishing on the 23rd! Small mercies)

ANYWAY so. That was a pretty big stuff up that took months to resolve (it was like literally a ~40 minute job really when you count finding stickers, pealing them off, and writing in the new dates. But sure Etlu, take 8 months, it's not that important right?). We should be right to do this properly without fault for 2023.

No.

This time it's personal.

Not only did I have to seriously say to myself "are there 30 days in October or 31?" when halloween exists as a thing, it's also my birthday month. Like come on!

Pro: This year I know where to get stickers from. They've been ordered. Should arrive sometime in January.

Con: Looks like either my favourite supplier is changing up her stock or stopping her functional stickers? D: I hope it's just a changing of styles or something because they've been such a good find!

THINGS TO GO: • Public Holidays • Rubbish week cycle

And then we get onto the Collection spreads.
