Blogmas Day 1: December Bullet Journal Setup

Welcome to the very first post for blogmas! That’s right, every single day from today until 25th December, I will be uploading a blog post. Some posts will be festive and some will just be blog posts that I normally do. I really hope you enjoy this series of blog posts and I can’t wait to do more series like this on my blog in the future! Let’s get into today’s post.

Today’s post is my December Bullet Journal setup. I decided to go for a theme I’ve done before (only last year actually) and that is a gift tag theme. I’ve included lots of festive doodles in them so it’s definitely looking different to what I first created. Without further ado, let’s get to it.

Cover Page and Quote Page

For my cover page, I decided to go for tags across the top and bottom with a bunch of festive doodles. I included really simple capital letters as my choice of font this month and I really like the way it turned out.

As for my quote page, I had to go for the classic “it’s the most wonderful time of the year.” I really like how it turned out with the gift tags.

Monthly Spread

For my monthly spread, I of course went for a calendar layout as it’s my absolute favourite. It just works really well for me and my needs. Each square is 5 by 5 which is the perfect amount for me. I naturally included a drop shadow as that seems to be a new obsession of mine. I included more gift tags as doodles and I really like how this whole spread turned out.

Habit, Symptoms and Mood Tracker

For my habit and symptoms tracker, I went for the individual habit tracker layout as that works really well for me. However, I do not like the outcome. I wanted to use different coloured pens but it didn’t look right. I then decided to go over it in a thick black pen but again, I am not keen. I think it looks really harsh but at least it looks better than it did before.

As for my mood tracker, I decided to draw 31 gift tags, with each doodle representing a different mood. I really like how this turned out and I can’t wait to see the end results!

Content Tracker

For my content tracker, I went for the same layout as it works really well for me. I can’t see this changing in all honesty.

One Line a Day and Study Tracker

This month, I decided to bring back my one line a day spread. I haven’t included it for a few months and I thought December was the perfect time. I’ll be visiting family over Christmas so I can’t wait to document that.

I included my study tracker for the first time last month and I really enjoyed using it. This month, I decided to make it a little different. I’ll still be making a note of his much studying I’m doing each day but I’ll also be including what I studied. I’m looking forward to seeing how this works for me!

Gratitude, Reasons to be Proud and Brain Dump

Over the last few months, I have noticed that I really don’t need a full page for my gratitude and reasons to be proud spreads. Therefore, I decided to include them both on one page and see how that works for me.

I also decided to do the same for my brain dump. I found that I didn’t need a double page spread and so I downsized it.

And that’s it! Thank you so much for reading and I will see you tomorrow for the next blogmas post!
