Mid year bullet journal transfer is here! In this setup I’ve incorporated some things that I found useful from my old bujo and I’m keeping them, while I’m getting rid of some things that don’t serve me.
The setup is simple and this time I upgraded the notebook size to a B5 format with a lined hardcover notebook that I had for a while now. It’s slightly bugging me the fact that I don’t have a place to hold my pen but hey – using your old & unused notebooks that you’ve hoarded through the years is important.
First, I sketched everything out before I filmed the video, to keep it quick and easy and then I started migrating everything into this new B5 bujo.
Whats’ Included in this Bujo Transfer?
Future Log
First, I included the monthly log which is my go-to when I need to plan some events, log important dates and anything else that’s similar. I used column based layout which worked perfectly for me in my previous bujo and I wrote out the titles for every month with a brown brush pen, and wrote mini calendars underneath the titles with a thin fineliner.
If you don’t need mini calendars, you can totally skip them and do the titles only, Personally, I find that it’s easier to have a mini calendar if I need to check something quickly and I don’t want to look at my phone calendar.
Keeping Your Good & Bad Habits in Check
When this future log is finished, next two pages are “Habits to Add” and “Habits to Quit” lists where I’ll write out some things, just to keep myself in check. On the second half of both pages there’s a small subtitle called “End of the Year Status” where I’ll review these 6 months and things that I’ve improved (or not).
If you have some things that you want to improve in your life, these two pages can be useful for you. In my last journal, I noticed that I’ve focused on some things more & eventually I’ve made a nice progress, but for some bad habits, it’s nearly impossible to quit them. But in that status section, you can review you priorities, things that matter to you, and see what’s manageable.
For monthly setups I always have my Habit Check where I write about specific topics that I want to focus in that month. It’s a neat extension of this larger spread.
Personal Pages
Last two pages in this migration are more personal. First spread is dedicated for “Saskolinas Plan” and second spread is for my personal goals for this part of the year.
In the Plan, I’ll review my focus and add some bullet points for ideas and places for organization because I have a hodgepodge of ideas scattered across 3 notebooks and Trello. Earlier, I had the idea to include complete Content Plan in just a few pages in my bullet journal and it didn’t worked as planned. It was ok as a starting point, but when you have multiple platforms, you need a structured plan with all your ideas in one place. So, this spread is going to help me brainstorm that.
Personal goals page is going to be a reminder of some things that are important to me, that I need to prioritize above everything else. No “get your life in order goals” or “typical inspo goals that you can find on pinterest.” Just some simple and clear things that are important in life and sometimes we tend to forget that.
What’s Not Included in this Transfer?
Two pages that I’ve had in my previous journals are the Key and Index pages and honestly, I never used them and I never needed them. So, from now on I’m going to remove them from my setups.
If you can’t live without numbering your bujo pages and logging them in order, the Index is probably for you. It’ll help you stay organized.
Or, if you’re new at bullet journaling, the Key page might be a good thing to have. Later, you probably won’t have to make that page because you’ll get used to your bullet journal so much that everything will go smoothly.
Supplies Used:
- 0.2 uni pin fineliner
- Tombow ABT 977
