Preparing for a New Year - Yearly Bullet Journal Setup

This year I watched over 100 YouTube videos for inspiration for my Bullet Journal setup.

I used a Bullet Journal last year, but I basically skipped the yearly setup. Last year was a very fuzzy, crazy year starting it with our wedding. The following are some of the notable videos that I took inspiration from!

This year I decided to use a more traveler's notebook style journal

There's a lot of new spreads in my bullet journal setup this year that I'm really excited to use! Here's a list of the spreads I decided to add in this year. At the end of the year, we'll see which ones I liked and which ones I could pass on for the next setup:

• Cover page and guidelines

• Word of the year and Affirmations

• Make it happen (goals and intentions)

• Goal trackers (Language learning, buying a house, body and mind, content)

• Media tracker

• Year at a glance

• What I learned and Gratitudes

• Year bucket list and Words to live by

• Year highlights

• When did I last

• Date night and Future-me problems and Ideations

• Pregnancy tracker

• Favorite meals

• Things I learned from what I consume

• Now and later

Here are some of my favorites!

It took me probably way too long to set this up, but I enjoy it! Overall it took me about 3 hours, not including the time I spent to outline it and watch all the videos for inspiration! I'm hoping by documenting all of this, that it makes preparing for a new year more seamless and less hectic.
