Bullet Journal | July Setup

**brownie points if you notice the mistake I made with my very first header... it's been fixed now! June, July, who knows. I'm still not convinced it's 2016**

Though I've shared a few different weekly spreads (here and here), I rely on my monthly spread a lot more than the weekly ones for keeping track of where I'm supposed to be. I've been playing around a lot with different layouts to find out what works best for me, and I think I've found the one! I just use one page, because my days don't tend to need morning/afternoon/evening tasks. I tried using colour coding too, but that just got a little confusing with so many different colours. Instead I have a key and dot system for things that happen regularly, like washing my make up brushes, bills and bedding changes. I also try and set some goals, or things that I want to focus more on that month in particular, as well as other upcoming dates to add to next months setup when it comes around.

After that I tend to have my habits tracker, which I have a love/hate relationship with at the moment. I'm really pleased with how the layout looks this month (it doesn't always look as pretty), and I think I'm finally getting my habits set to things that are actually helpful for me to keep a track of. I've also been giving a gratitude log another go, and last month I actually managed to write something every day, something I struggled with when I first tried it!

I also try to have a look through Pinterest for any new header and banner ideas for my daily spreads, just so that I'm constantly using new designs rather than the same ones over and over!

I've completely fallen in love with Bullet Journaling! Have you tried it yet?
