Bujo Update-January

I think I finally found the perfect planner solution for me. I wrote about it a few months ago, when I was just getting started and now I'm back with an update. 

Bullet Journaling has become my most favorite method for keeping track of my life. I think it's because it's 100% customized to me and what I want to record and keep track of. It's holding me accountable. It's keeping me on task. It's also just fun! 

I'm still going strong with my Leuchtturm Hardcover Dot. And even though inks tend to bleed through the paper, it's been the perfect solution to my planner conundrum. This, for me, works! 

Scroll down to see some of my "trackers". These are the little beauties that keep my on task. I'm not 100% when it comes to updating them all the time. But I try not to beat myself up about it too much. Progress is progress! And 2016 has already been a big year of progress.

For all of you scrapbookers, here's what I'm tracking:

• Class progress
• Creative team assignments
• Blog post ideas
• Layout ideas
• Social media
• Project progress
• Monthly blog posts
• Layout goals
• Maintenance/organization projects

I'll update again in the coming months. I'm only 1/3 of the way through the book so there will be plenty of updates in the future.

cheers & besos,

Bullet Journal

Oh man, I've fallen down a well. The planner/journal well. I just live there now. I have all kinds of fun binders and notebooks, expensive and inexpensive ones; large, small. I'm still trying to figure out what works best for me. So I'm paring up multiple approaches all at the same time. 

I love using my Simple Scrapper 2016 planner for keeping all of my creative team and scrapbook assignments and lists straight.

But I'm using a bullet journal for everything else! I discovered this via Kara from Boho Berry. She shared her bullet journal. And I was so hooked! I went to Amazon, bought myself a dot Leuchtturm1917 and impatiently waited for it to arrive.

I'm sharing just a few of my pages below. Everything is pretty simple and easy going. I like that whatever page or tracking I need, I can just create it!

I'm using a few different stamp sets [KP Check it Off][KP Planners gonna Plan][Waffle Flower Calendar][Neat & Tangled Blog Planner][KP/Hero Arts Special Occassion Planner][SC Alyra Alpha] some wash tape and my trusty Pilot FriXion erasable pen. The ink bleeds a bit through the thin paper, but I'm not bothered by it. I think it looks like I'm using this journal! Which is the whole point =)

It's only been a few weeks with the system. But I'm loving it so far. This is the first planner that's been portable enough for me to throw in my bag. So it's super helpful when I'm out shopping or running errands.

If you're interested in seeing more of this, just lemme know! Also, search Bullet Journal (or BuJo) on Pintersest for more inspiration. There's also a great Facebook page that I'm getting a ton of inspiration from: Bullet Journal Junkies! And of course, I drool over Kara's pages and her Boho Berry instagram.

cheers & besos,
