hello fam!! after multiple requests to make this post, i’m finally writing this!! yay!! okay, so let’s get started:
what’s a bullet journal? basically, it’s a DIY journal system that you can customize to your own liking. here’s a post that explains bullet journalling in more detail! bullet journals are used by studyblrs and people all around the world because they’re super flexible and easy to make!
how do you set up your bullet journal? above are some excerpt pages from my bullet journal, and i’m going to talk you through each one!
picture one (top left): arguably the most common layout for bullet journals, this is named the daily spread (or to-do)! in my daily spreads, i have a small flag that indicates the date, then i write down the day and below it are the tasks that i need to complete on that day! on the right page, as you see, is a random-thoughts page. i like having random-thoughts pages since i can write down anything i’m feeling or thinking of on that page so i don’t forget it later!
picture two (top right): now we have my weekly spreads, in which i write down all the tasks i need to finish by the end of the week in one column (my deadlines column). i also write down events that are happening on that specific week (tests, projects, etc) i like to decorate my spreads with washi tape/colored pens too! i like weekly spreads for school weeks that are busier, since i can keep track of all my assignments on one page and take a quick glance of how much i have left to do, or how much i’ve completed!
picture three (bottom left): this is from a long time ago, but it’s my term break spread! this type of spread, as i like to call it, is a holidays spread. as you see, i have deadlines & an agenda for the break, as well as a few goals! on the right side, i have a modified version of the daily spread, fit to my term break needs! i used post-its to contrast it from the gridded background, and also because they’re a great size to fit my daily to-do!
picture four (bottom right): now we have version 2 of my holidays spread, for winter break! this time, i have a schedule on the top left page and some goals below that. on the right page, i have a study methods portion to help me with my revisions (random-thoughts section, oops), as well as a small calendar of sorts to help me stay on track with the days!! i like this spread better than my previous one for the term break since i don’a lot of deadlines to meet, and i’ll be stuck doing a lot of the same tasks every day.
so there you have it: my bullet journal spreads set-up! i hope this was helpful, please do give this a like/reblog if you found this helpful and continue requesting for posts here!!
