My Bullet Journal Suppiles

Hello, Butterflies

Today I would like to share what supplies I use when I am planning. Over the last 2years, went from using Pentel R.S.V.P Fine black pen to a much larger collection of pens and markers.

When I started out a bullet journaling all I need was a notebook and a pen. Within 6 months I was tired of just seeing black and white spreads and then grow to want to add colors to the spreads I was adding to my bullet journal.

So I went out bought Crayola Twistables, as they were cheap and I could do fine lines with them. From there I started watching YouTube videos of others decorate their bullet journal, to find there was many affordable markers and pens out there.

From there I have grown a large Markers and Pen collection.

So I will be listing all of my collection below and I will be showing the markers and pens that I grab the most.

Crayola Supertips 50 pack
Staedtler triplus fineliner 10 pack
Tombow Dual Brush Pens Primary Colors 10 pack
Tombow Dual Brush Pen  Pastel Color 10 Pack
Sharpie Pen Finepoint 5 pack
Tombow Funenosuke Calligraphy Pen 2 pack
Pigma Micron 6 pack

The image down below is what I grab on a Daily. 

I love my Collection! 

I hope you enjoyed seeing what pens and markers I use in my bullet journal. 

If you have any suggestions of pens I should try out please leave them in the comments below.

What Planners I use Right Now

Hello, Butterflies

Today I would like to share what planners I use and how I use them. 

As you can see in the picture above I use four planners. I don't use all of them in a day. Out of the four planners, I only use 2 on a daily base.

So let me tell you what they are and how I use them. 

I am going to start on the left, the Pink Planner is a three-ring binder from Target. This planner is my family planner that I leave out on my desk for the family.  It holds a monthly calendar with everyone's events marked down.  It also holds schools info like phones and days off. It also holds kids passwords, and also holds family wish list. The last section in the planner is just notepaper.

So the Gray Planner is also a three-ring binder from Target.  This planner is my Business Planner. This planner holds my project planning, time log, brain dump section, notes, expense sheets, blog notes, and posting calendar, and business passwords. This planner is also used daily.

My daily planner is my Travelers Notebook. In this planner, I have notes insert, goals and trackers, monthly calendar, weekly insert, daily insert, journaling inserts and a collection insert. This planner is my personal planner and I am the only persons that open this planner. Sometimes I also take this one out of this house with me when running to the store. 

The last planner is one that I carry in my purse, my on the go planner. In this planner, my first section is my monthly section, weekly meal plan, notes, list section and contacts section. 

At the beginning of each month, I set down with all four planners to update with events for the whole family. Each Saturday I will set down with my Travelers Notebook and On The Go planners.

When I started using a planner I started out with only One planner. I have added more planners to my collection to lighting the load on one planner and also when I leave the house I am not carrying a Brick of a planner. 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing what I am planning in as of now never know it may change later down the line but for now this is working for me and my family.

Thank you for stopping by to see what planners I use. If you have any questions or suggestions please free to leave them below in the commits.

Planning Routine

Hello, Butterflies

Do you have a Planning Routine? Do you like seeing others planning routines? 

Today I will be sharing with you my planning routine. 

I start out my weeks on a Monday. On Saturday I set down and draw out my weekly layout. Sunday I set down in the evening and plan out my week with events and task that have deadlines. I will also do my weekly review of the week ending, and go over my weekly goals to see if I have met the goal I have set for myself. I will also set new goals or move goals I did not meet to the following week.

I will also set up my time tracker for Monday on Sunday. I do not track the time I have spent, I will mark the times on how I would like to spend my day. I will add any extra task to my Monday section. Most of my task that I pre-plan will be in the same colors as the colors I use on my time tracker. This way any task I add thought out the day will be in black ink, and I know when I go back and look over the week it's been added that day.

Monday

Each Morning I wake up at 6 am, So from 6 to 7:30am is waking up and hanging out with family until everyone leaves for school and work.  Once everyone leaves the house I will go to my tracker and mark off the kid's tackers. I will also flip to the week to draw in the weather for the day and to see what I have for the day. I will leave my Traveler's Notebook open to the week and leave it open on my desk to make it easier to check off the task. 

Each Night I will set down 30mins before heading to bed, I will fill in my tracker and the kid's trackers.  I will also do my doodle a day. After that is complete I will go back to my weekly layout and mark off any task that I completed and migrate any task that is not finished that day. 

Tuesday

Tuesday are my short day so I will move my morning routine up. I will start working on posting my blog at 6:30 then fill in all trackers, weather and time tracker for the day. I will move any task that I did not finish on Monday to Wednesday or Thursday.  I know I must have all my daily task done by 10am. 

At 10:30 pm I will mark off all trackers for the day. I will go ahead and fill in Wednesday time tracker and weather. I will also do my doodle a day.  I will look over Wednesday task and set out any materials I may need for the morning task.

Wednesday

6 to 7:30 am Family time, again marking off the kid's tracker for morning task. I will go ahead and jump on my task, as Wednesday is a very busy day with Tuesday a short day.

30 mins before bed I will fill out all trackers for the day. Do the daily doodle, I will also fill in Thursday weather and time tracker. Again I will get out any materials that I need for Thursday. 

Thursday

6 to 7:30 am Family time, again marking off the kid's tracker for morning task. I will also go over my project spread, I will remove any task that I have completed at the beginning of the week.   I will also update any action steps for the project still running.

At 10:30 I will set down and mark all trackers, move any task that was not completed to Saturday. I will fill in Friday's weather and block out time for School.  I will mark any time for assignments for the three classes I am taking.

Friday

6 to 7:30 am Family time. I will do any clean up around the house before I set down and fill in all trackers. I will work on a small task before I need to be in class at 9am.

6pm I will set down do my doodle for the day. I will look over tasks that I have moved to Saturday. 

Saturday

When I wake up the first thing is to fill in trackers from Friday night. Then I just on finish any open task. Then I will draw up the next week layout. I will also make sure I am done working by noon. As the rest of the day is hanging out with the family!

Sunday

In the morning I will catch up on trackers for the week. As for Sunday, we as a family will go over the trackers. We will talk about how we did without habits and how we could do better for the following week.

An hour before heading to bed I will plan out the week adding any events or task deadlines.

Here is what my week looks like:

I hope seeing my Planning Routine helps you make your own routine if you do not have one.

If you have a Planning Routine I would love to hear about yours, as we can get great ideas from each other.

How I make My Traveler's Notebook Inserts

Hello, Butterflies

Today I would like to share with you how I make my inserts for my Traveler's Notebook.  

I use the Bullet Journal method in my TN., so all the Inserts I print right now are dot grid. I use Publisher 2016 to design Inserts. I don't always use dot grid paper but at this time that is what I am using. 

When I design the inserts I also have put in a line to cut off the bottom of the inserts it's .5" from the bottom so when I place the insert in my TN I will have room above for tabs or bookmarks. After I have designed the inserts I would print them out. 

After I cut them all up I will stack them up putting the top sheet on the bottom. This way when I am folding the paper in half and I see the image on the front cover sheet I know there are no more sheets for that insert. When I am printing inserts I print multiple copies. 

As I am folding I will use a card to run down the fold to make it crips fold. If I had a bone folder I would use it instead of the card, but they work the same. I will set and fold as I am watching TV., which makes the time go by pretty fast. 

Now it's time to start stacking the sheet inside each other. After they all stack inside each other and I place the cover sheet over the top and then again run the card down the fold. 

At this point, I need to decide if you want to sew it together, staple together or not bind them at all. Sometime I will staple them together, I will use the open stapler and thick eraser method. Most of the time for my personal use I will not bind them together. As the elastic will hold them together in my TN. 

When you stack the papers together you will see that the sheets in the inside will stick out kinda making a V shape. So to make all the page even I will place my ruler at the edge of the cover page. Use my exacto knife and run it down the page that is sticking out. I will have to run my knife down a couple times to get all the pages cut.

I add a cardstock cover to the insert and place it in my Traveler's Notebook. After I fill the Insert, I will then staple them together so can store it away and not worry about losing any pages.

If you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the commits, I will answer them as soon as I can.

How I Label My Crayola Supertips Marker

Hello, Butterflies

Have you ever want to label your Crayola Super Tips? 

Did you ever want a way to have a color chart of your Crayola Super Tips? 

Will I wanted the same things, started hunted around the internet for a solution.  I ran across a video on youtube that answered the question I was looking for! It's by Linda Wright her channel LindalooEnterprise. Check out Linda video Free Color Chart For Crayola Super Tips.

She comes up with a way to be able to label your marker and to have your own blank color chart: Set of 50 markers.  She has made a free download of the Color Chart  Crayola Super Tips Blank Color Chart Download. 

I want to share Linda's way on how she labels and have a color chart for her Crayola Super Tips. 

I followed her video for the markers

With the way, Linda labels the marker make it easier to use in my Bujo. When I draw up a layout and I use my Crayola Super Tips at the bottom of the page I will place the Letter and Number at the bottom of the page. 

V= Violet    1,2,3,4,5

P= Pink       1,2,3,4,5

R= Red       1,2,3,4

O= Orange  1,2,3,4

Y= Yellow   1,2,3

G= Green   1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

A= Aqua    1,2,3,4,5,6

B= Blue      1,2,3,4,5

T= Tan       1,2,3,4,5

N= Neutral  1,2,3

I used a permanent marker to mark the letter and number at the bottom of each marker. The Color Chart sheet also helps to see the colors each of the marker come out on paper.

I hope this and Linda video will help you to label your Crayola Super Tips Marker.

Weekly or Daily Layout Inspiration!

Hello Butterflies,

Today I want to share with you some weekly and daily layouts I use in my Buller Journal. Some of these layouts were found on Instagram or inspired from others on  YouTube.  Some of these spreads can be called Weekly or Daily, depending on how you set up your layouts. 

In some of these spreads, you will see that I have time lines, this way I can plan how I want my day to go. You can always use the time line as a small tracker on how you spent your time each day.  Enough jabbering lets get into the spreads!

Weekly #1

This is a pretty simple layout. On the left side, I have the week going down the page. Then I have a weekly To Do's box, Notes, Next Week, Goals and a Meal plan box.

Weekly #2

This weekly spread is for more if you need to time the whole day out. You will see I do not have a time line on Saturday or Sunday I don't work on these days so there is no need in the time line. I do like to track the weather so you can see I have made space with in this spread for that. I have also put in a Notes and To Do box.

Weekly/Daily #3

This layout is one of my Favorite spread to do. Its a mixture of a couple of inspirations. I made the top like the Erin Condren life planner, and the time line from Kara Boho Berry. I also find that this spread gives me room for a busy day or room to journal about the day. This is one of my larger weekly/ daily spreads. I also have Notes, Next Week and Goals/ Action Step boxes. 

Weekly #4

This spread is my horizontal layout. This spread has each day going across, but I have placed a line going down the center to divide the box into home and work. I have added the To Do box at the top of the page so that it smacks me in the face of the things I need to get done for the week. I have also added in a Weekly Review box at the end of the week.

Weekly/ Daily #5

This spread I was inspired by photos that I found on Instagram Yukiko Sakamura aspiring minimalist. This also reminded me of weekly #3.  With this spread, the time line is vertical with room for a list of task below. I also have room at the bottom of each column to put the weather for each day. I also have put in the weekly review as the last column of the lay out.

I hope you have enjoyed and walk away with some inspiration on layouts or spreads you can do.  I will be placing a Free download of Weekly/ Daily spread # 3 on the Download Library
