Setting up my Bullet Journal

I'm a bit behind schedule with my bullet journal this year due to my wonderful holiday in the Maldives.  But I'll get there eventually.

I use the pocket size Leuchtturm 1917 with dots.  This year I've gone with the bright turquoise ... adding an even brighter strip of washi tape. I use a wide ribbon from May Arts to hold my pen.

I set up my keys first ...

I link my goals to habits so that they become part of my daily routine ... but still working on what I want for this year. The heading and flowers are doodled.

I set up a number of pages for lists that I use every year ...

• Bible : For the verses that I want to Bible journal
• Scrap : For the projects I need to complete
• Studio : To do list
• Courses : Ideas for courses
• Orders 1 : To track online orders (I set up 3 pages ... and they get full - Oops!)
• Books : As I get recommendations
• Tv & Movie : Same thing

I have a page to record my Copic markers so that if I'm out and about I have the references with me.  I scanned my Sandy Allnock Hex Chart which is coloured in with my stash.  I mark a dot on those that have refills. Also have a Paper Chart so that when I go to my local paper supplier, all the sizes and types are on hand.

My months start with a calendar on the left. On the right I have my monthly to-do list and a weight chart. I find this works well as I get to see the to-do list everyday. 

I add a matching washi tape to this page so that as I go through the year, I can find the monthly pages easily. 

I use the Hero Arts Calendar Pieces and Everyday Icons as well as the Hero Arts / Studio Calico planner one.
