I love looking at beautiful bullet journals--don't get me wrong. But the one thing I hate about beautiful bullet journal spreads is that, at least for me, they almost NEVER look like that. This was my planner during finals week, when I graduated from University. I had 4 jobs and was taking 18 credits and LEMME TELL YA, it is hard to keep your planner looking beautiful when you barely have time to eat! In a way, however, the giant mess of colors has its own beauty. I think it's important to remember that your journal doesn't have to look like anyone else's, and it's ESPECIALLY important to remember that it's okay to let it get messy!

Planners are both a blessing and a curse--they keep me organized, but sometimes I have way too much fun with them to be productive.

I really dislike using the mini calendar layouts in my planner, so rather than leave them as wasted space, I like to write "inspirational quotes of the month" or lists (December's layout has my Christmas wish list, and it's SO pretty). Sometimes I'll try to put budgeting info or shopping lists on it, too. Just another way of creating a mock bullet journal.
