February Setup

Hello, Butterflies

It's time to set up another month February! 

When setting up this month I wanted something a little different from my normal setups. So this month I have drawn in a cover page, add in monthly view, monthly goals, movie night tracker, brain dump and changed up how my weekly layout.  

So let me show you how this months setup is different than any others.


Cover page:

Monthly View:

Monthly Goals, Movie Night, Brain Dumps:

Week 1:

Daily:

Week 2 :

Trackers:

Oh so cute doodle challenge:

Weekly Review:

For the daily pages, I have given each day a full page so I can also write notes, a journal and do list on the same page. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing how I set up my February spreads.

My 2018 Yearly Goals Spread

Hello, Butterflies

Today I want to share with you all how I do my Yearly Goals Spread. This spread can be used any time of the year to help set goals. I use this spread to give myself a deadline for each of my goal. 


This spread was inspired by Emma Tildesley New Bullet Journal Set Up 2018. I did change the layout to fit my needs, by adding action steps boxes. 

Each box contains

• Goal 
• Why and How 
• Milestone Steps 1,2 and 3 
• Milestone 1and 2 with Target Date
• Completion Target Date

I find each year I set goals and don't complete. Due to not checking in on my goals or just not having a time frame that I would like to have them completed by. 

I found using this Goals box in December I was able to get a couple of my larger projects done in the time frame I wanted. 

I will also be adding the Goals Box to my monthly spreads to help me achieve my monthly goals.

If you're like me and find that you are setting goals and not reaching them, maybe if you set a deadline to get them completed it will help you. Give it a try and see if it works for you.

I would love to hear from you!

X-Mas Gift Spread

Hello, Butterflies

Today I would like to share with you my new X-mas spread. Each year I struggle to come up with gift ideas, so this year I am changing that with this spread. I have added this spread to my collections insert, this way I can have this spread for a couple year or until its filled.

So let's talk about what this spread is and how I am using it.

On the left side is a gift idea spread, I will be using this spread for people that don't live in my home. The reason why as I have a running wish list for each person within the home.  How I have the list named... Name, Size, Gift Idea, and Price. 

With the spread, I am also tracking what I have given a person last year so I am not repeating a gift.

With the spread on the right side, it's an online order tracker. We don't order many gifts online, but this spread is good for when have. How I have the list named.... Date, Store, Description, and Received. 

By date, I will be writing the date I placed the order and description I can put in size color and any other thing that make it why I order it. Unfortunately, I have ordered an item and when I received it was not what I remember what I order. With the received section is for the date I got it. This way I can see how long it has taken the company to send it or a back up for a waiting on a list for a gift.

This Spread I will be using each year to help me keep up with the x-mas gifts. If you have a spread that you use for this time of a year please free to leave a screenshot below in the comments.

Project Planning

Hello, Butterflies

Do you Love Project planning or do you Hate it? Today I would like to share with you how I started Project Planning about a month ago. 

I struggle to project plan, I would break a task into chunks but they end up being too big of chunks and leave me feeling overwhelmed.  So one day I decided that there had to be a better way to project plan, so I  started researching on Youtube. I ran across this video by Michelle Chouinard, she broke down how to project plan as a writer. If you would like to see her video Project Planning in a Bullet Journal.

After watching Michelle video the light bulb come on. I know what I was doing wrong! I was taking the task and breaking them into big of chunks. I was also not giving myself a goal for each task I was doing. So by the end of the day, I did not complete what I was hoping to get done.

I am not a writer like Michelle is, it was time to try to adapt her method to my projects. I am a blogger, a student, and entrepreneur, also wife and mother. So I have many projects going on at one time.  

So I sat down with my Traveler's Notebook, open it to a blank page in my project insert. I add 6 categories to the page Home, Personal, Business, Blog, Other, and Pending.

I wrote each project that I have going on at the time. I left the blog column larger than the reset due to adding blog post ahead of time. This part is pretty easy. 

Now it's time to break out the sticky notes!

On the following page, I made 2 columns Project and Next Action. Will I took it one more step and did the same on the page next to it.  I decided that I would make the page on the left just for Blogging and the page on the right would be for the rest of my categories. This way I could keep all blog project together. I would be also changing the sticky notes on the left more than I would be on the right. The project that I place on the right is usually longer projects.

How I have it laid out here blues and pinks are my project names and the yellow sticky notes are the action step I am working on. 

Each week I will add in 3 or 4 action steps to do during the week if I complete the action step for a project I will add the next action step for the project that went with that project. By the end of the week, I make sure that I have completed the action steps I put in at the beginning of the week and move any action step to the following week if not completed.

I encourage you to check Michelle Chouinard video Project Planning in a Bullet Journal.
