Plan with Me: June Bullet Journal Setup

June marks my 9th month using a Bullet Journal!  This system has been life changing.  Not only does it keep me organized and productive, I’ve realized it’s a relaxing creative outlet as well.

If you’re not already familiar with Bullet Journals, make sure you watch the original Bullet Journal video from Ryder Carroll.  You can watch that here!

May Review

Before we get to June’s setup, here’s a snapshot of how I’ve been doing a monthly review at the end of each month.  I’m really loving this process.  It’s so interesting to look back over the months and see my key takeaways, which areas I tend to struggle in, and also to see the success I’ve had.  It’s so easy to not realize how much progress you’ve made, so I definitely recommend doing some sort of review each month.

Ideas for a monthly review in your Bullet Journal!

June Setup!

Now, onto June!  It’s so much fun sitting down each month and figuring out what worked well the previous month and what I want to change up.  I’m trying a few new things this month.

First, I added an intro page to separate where June starts.  I’m having fun adding colors to my pages.  The opposite page is the #planwithmechallenge.  If you want to follow along with the challenge, you can get the printable from Kara at Boho Berry.  It’s a super fun way to get new ideas for your Bullet Journal.  I’m constantly amazed at the kindness and creativity in the planner community!

Welcome to June in my Bullet Journal!

Before we go on, take a look at this amazing case I got from Amazon!  It is the perfect size to hold my Leuchtturm, the pens I use most often, a ruler, and pockets for washi tape.

I added a mindmap in May and I really liked it, so I made another one this month.  I find that it really helps me think about what’s important and where I want to focus my efforts for the month.  I then used the mindmap to set some goals for the month.  At the bottom of the right page, I’ll put next steps on each of the four projects listed.

Next I added a happiness tracker.  I’m going to look for small moments in every day that make me happy.  It’s kind of a twist on a gratitude log with a focus on happiness.  I’ve done this before and it’s amazing how you start to notice small things when you’re on the lookout for happy moments.

I’m also trying a new weekly layout.  It’s similar to the one I used last month, but I’m adding a “dutch door” of sorts by folding a page in half in the middle of the layout so I can track more things.  Not sure how I’m going to like it, but I thought it would be a fun experiment.

Weekly3

This weekly layout contains the following:

  • appointments
  • top 3 priorities each day
  • food log
  • most important tasks
  • projects and next steps for each one
  • shopping list
  • meal plan
  • water tracker
  • habit tracker
  • journaling page on the inside of the “dutch door”

My absolute favorite part of Bullet Journaling is how you can change it up as you go along and figure out what works best for you.  What are you adding to your Bullet Journal this month?

Supplies Used:

  • Leuchtturm 1917 dot-grid journal
  • Tombow Dual Brush Pens – Bright
  • Sharpie Pens
  • Staedtler Triplus Fineliners

A belief is simply a thought you’ve practiced ov A belief is simply a thought you’ve practiced over and over.

So to believe something new, you have to practice a new thought over and over.

This is the thought I’m practicing in February.

My default thought is “Today is going to be hard.” I’d much rather believe today is going to be fun.

I know I have a lot of coaches who follow me, so chime in with your favorite way to practice a new thought in the comments below.

My #morningroutine box. I love my morning routine My #morningroutine box.

I love my morning routine so much that I could easily spend 3 hours every morning, if I had the time.

But I don’t—you know job, kids, adulting and such.

So I put all my options in this box, set my timer for one hour, and choose a few things to do.

This morning that looked like:
✔️12WT Audio Coaching
✔️5 Little Lines Journal
✔️Identity Journal
✔️Scriptures
✔️Probiotic & Energy+
✔️Marco Polo Coaching Groups

What do you include in your morning routine?

I made a goal to read 100 books this year. This is I made a goal to read 100 books this year. This is #3 and I’m loving it so far.

I had a totally new insight about what it means to be my “higher” best self.

I’ve always thought of my higher self as my spirit self, my eternal self, the part of me that existed before I was born.

This book suggest that your higher best self is that part of you combined with all the wisdom you’ve gained from the trials you’ve experienced here on earth.

It’s not someone you aspire to be someday. It’s who you are right now.

What are you reading right now?
I heard a quote this morning from @joelosteen. "Wh I heard a quote this morning from @joelosteen. "Whatever follows I am... is going to come looking for you."⁣

Or do you say things like:⁣

This caught my attention because I switched up my goal setting this year, after reading Atomic Habits by @james_clear, and wrote identity goals instead of goals that achieve some specific outcome.⁣
⁣
Here are my 5 “I am” goals for 2020:⁣
⁣
1. I am a person who plans weekly and follows my calendar.⁣
⁣
2. I am a wise steward of our financial resources and take time to think before spending.⁣
⁣
3. I am an intentional, consistent business owner.⁣
⁣
4. I am a passionate, fun wife.⁣
⁣
5. I am growing healthier and stronger every day.⁣
⁣
I have specific habits for each of these goals that I'm tracking in my #bulletjournal⁣
⁣
Are you setting goals this year? I'd love to hear what strategy you're using. 
Share your #2020goals with me in the comments.
My favorite book from 2019 is Atomic Habits by @ja My favorite book from 2019 is Atomic Habits by @james_clear. One concept in the book is building identity based habits.⁣
⁣
A quote from the book, “True behavior change is identity change. When your behavior and your identity are fully aligned, you are no longer pursuing change. You are simply acting like the type of person you already believe yourself to be."⁣
⁣
So I'm approaching my goals a bit differently this year. Instead of creating outcome based goals, I'm creating identity goals. I'll share them with you tomorrow.⁣
⁣
I'm excited to use the Clear Habit Journal to track the new habits I'm working on, and bonus that it doubles as a Bullet Journal. ⁣
⁣
I'm looking forward to using a #bulletjournal again. No matter how many other planners I try, I still love having a blank page to include anything I want. ⁣
A new year always makes me even more reflective th A new year always makes me even more reflective than normal. And reflection is my jam—thus the name of my blog (in case you were wondering). ⁣

Let’s rewind. There was a time in my life when I was homeless and had no food to eat for almost two months. After staying out in the winter cold, a friend of mine arranged for me to stay with her older sister who just happened to live in a drug house. Random people would come and go. Some spent the night. Every drug you could imagine was available. Many unspeakable things happened there. ⁣
⁣
I used to be ashamed that this was part of my story. But not anymore. I look at it as evidence of how far I’ve come.  I'm the person I am today, not in spite of these hard circumstances, but in part because of them.⁣
⁣
Life looks a lot different now. I own a business. I work for an amazing company. I’m a Certified Life Coach. I have the best husband, and beautiful children. ⁣
⁣
I used to hate myself. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲. And day by day, I'm finally learning to love myself.⁣
⁣
Don’t get me wrong. Life is still not easy. There are hard things in my life too. But I know I have the power to CREATE the life I want. ⁣
⁣
You do too. ⁣
⁣
Notice the 𝘠𝘌𝘛 at the end of this quote. It’s never too late to create the life you want. ⁣

I promise. It’s possible—𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬.
There’s a subtle mindset shift that happens when There’s a subtle mindset shift that happens when you stop putting things off and start taking small steps toward your goals.

No matter how far away change feels, it’s available to you now, and begins with your very next CHOICE.

Don’t choose to stay the same.

Identify one small step you can take today.

Make the choice to do things differently—one day at a time. One CHOICE at a time.

That’s how change happens.

Start with something small. Throw away the Christmas cookies. Cancel Netflix. Pay $10 extra to your credit card.  Call your mom. Try a new recipe.

What is one of your goals for 2020, and what is the first small step you’re going to take?

I’ll post mine in the comments. #2020goals
This is my 10th year choosing a #wordoftheyear

My word shapes my year, my months, weeks, days . . . and moments.

It affects my goals, focus, and decisions.

Some years I pick a more active word because I’m in a season of growing. Other years, I’ve needed more rest and rejuvenation and chose something softer.

2019 was a tough year for me. I decided in 2020 I want to take life less seriously, and experience more joy, play, and fun, so I chose lighthearted for my word.

Here are the words I’ve picked in previous years:

2012 - Shine
2013 - Courage
2014 - Nourish
2015 - Believe
2016 - Ease
2017 - Leap
2018 - Purpose
2019 - Connection

Have you picked a word yet?  I’d love to hear what you chose! Share your word with me in the comments below.
