Bullet Journal PvP

[MaylaKae]

I made a little spread to help me brain-dump all of the things I need to do between now and Tuesday (5 more days AHHH!)

 

I left space on the last box b/c we all know a bunch of stuff is going to get added there last minute. :-)

Omg omg, thanks for the tag @RedStone - this is amaze!  I love the ideas and layouts!    I will post as well, and then figure out the finer details!

 

Totally stole this idea from @karinajean - so credit to her on the circly bit!

[Jarric]

Love the circle design @Starpuck, looks amazing!

 

@zenLara your drawings in the music practice book are really cool!

 

Picture 2/8 for me - I never bother doing monthly spreads so this PvP's definitely inspired me to do something more already

I got my journal from Cognitive Surplus. There's a picture of the cover somewhere on my Instagram. It's my first dot grid journal so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I really like it.

About all I ever really do for a monthly thing is put the calendar. I keep all of my appointments and stuff on my phone.

OMG this is AMAZING. 

 

I like the monthly layouts as well @Jarric and @zeroh13

 

I worked on a cleaning to-do list for this weekend. I kind of wanted it on it's own sheet but I had already laid out next week on the next 3 pages. but I think I should just bite the bullet and start a page for housework to-do list between weeks 2 and 3's pages. I mean it's a bujo, so do we what we want right? Plus I could make it a FUN FUN FUN cleaning/housework to-do list. 

 

Here's the work on this week, with the to-do list on a postie.

@Starpuck That circular week is amazing! Kudos to @karinajean for the inspiration.  

 

@zeroh13 I love your monthly cal. How do you like using the brush pens?

 

@Taddea Zhaan you should totally start a housework page or pages! But I kind of like the idea of just using a post it note you can move from week to week. If you are like me and never seem to get anything done, it would be less writing.  

 

2/8 My habit tracking did not start out on the best terms.

hah, that is a good point! I have been writing my weekly fitness schedule on a post it because my cardio changes based on the weather and I got tired of writing it down and then crossing things off and re-arranging them. 

 

But for next week I drew a box for: 

 

Monday:

Tuesday: 
Wednesday

etc(you get the idea)

 

Where the days are in pen but then I will write the activities in pencil so I can erase and not feel crazy.

They're fun, but take a lot of getting used to, and lots of practice. Learning the lettering? Not so fun. I've found tutorials on the basic strokes and stuff, but not so much on putting the strokes together to form letters, and putting the letters together to form words. Just seeing the finished letters/words isn't that helpful for me.

 

These are also my mom's old pens, so some of them are a bit low on ink, which can cause issues sometimes with making uniform lines, especially when doing down strokes (the thick lines).

The brush script looks so pretty, you did a great job on yours!

 

For your low ink problem, I'm not sure if you can do it with your pens or not, but blending might help with the lines. I've used a blending palette but I've also used any old plastic, I've even used a zip lock bag.

Here's my very spartan monthly spread and sample of my daily logs:

 

 

Like I said, I wish I had more creative/artistic tendencies and could thwock a few awesome designs in there. That was never my strong suit. Next year I think I'll switch to a dot grid instead of lined. I just happened to have this one sitting around.

[starpuck]

 I actually really like how that layout feels @mightstone2k - I need to do these for my months!  I just never get around to doing it before the month is underway...   But I super like how you have a general to do list and all the days on the other side.    So stress-relieving.

Thanks!  I like the aesthetic of simple and clean.  Separating the things with actual dates attached and just things that need to be done that month is something that I was never able to do in a way I liked with traditional planners.  Seeing this in Ryder's tutorial made so much sense to me.  The key is setting aside time on the last day of the month to migrate.  That's one commitment I've made to myself that's worked out so far this year.

I never heard of a blending palette, but I was always curious how people got those two-tone words. Now I know! I have one pen that is completely dead on one end, but I could experiment on it without messing up the pens that still work.

So here is my "professional" bujo page, in my work binder. Keeping it simple because clients see it and I fear that some people may take me less seriously if it's like CHIBI EVERYTHING! (The binder is already a rainbow afront of folders and such). I made the original on graph paper and ran it through photoshop to lighten the grid inside my boxes and completely remove from everywhere else. I've got a bunch printed out in the binder and a file to print from whenever  (Not including a filled out one cause client details etc)

 

 

And my shopping list from yesterday  

 

 

This puts my current tally up to 3!

What are bloobs?   And man, if that weekly one was the right size for my disc notebook, I'd be asking for a copy of the file!

 

You guys got me wanting to go try different layouts!

Here's my 2nd pic.    Week one all filled in on the circle, and am trying a different bit of business on my weekly for week 2.

Ignore the botched WW symbol... I HATE DC.  I am only going because my friend desperately needed a girls night away from the kids.

Agreed, I adore the little doodles

 

Hi. I was invited to this channel by @RedStone. My prize is going to be some half gallon water containers so I can take one to work and one home and drink a gallon a day :). I'd post at the moment but my phone is dead after my 6.5 mile hike today, so it'll have to wait for probably 30 mins.

BLUEBERRIES!!!  How perfect is that  (We can blame @Flex Luthor for that little bit of adoribalis)

What size would you need? I already have it digitized, might be easy to reshape...

[trickstur]

Wasn't 30 minutes, but here are 4 of the layouts I have in my bujo that I've done this month. On second thought it looks like I'm going to have to do 2 at a time. So the first two are going to be my monthly spread for this month, as well as my weekly spread for this month. 

 

 

As you can see if I have a bunch of charts and coded stuff. Like the boxes on the left side stand for Sleep (hours), Mood (1-9), Mood (1-9), and Record (I write an update somewhere, whether it's here, an instagram photo, or something else). On the right side is my BAM(F) tracker stats where I assign points every day for things I've done to progress on those things. I'll have the categories on the next post (which I haven't completely filled out yet). To the right of that is my diet, weight, water, and sleep info (the zz is if I went to bed by 11:30 which is my new goal). The two big empty boxes are going to be sketches or zentangles. The graphs graph my points, health, mood, or sleep (hours). My weekly goals are next to that but I haven't filled that in yet. I'm considering moving the graph that says 1, 2, 3, 4. That's supposed to be 15 day increments and how I'm doing (1-9 same scale as the other things). Top right I have my spanish word of the week, which I choose from this set of 1,000 flash cards I have. I'm going to try this layout for this month and maybe change it up a bit in July.  

 

Yes I overthink things. XD. 

[trickstur]

Well, I would post, but I seem to have met my file limit??? 

 

[trickstur]

Let's try this again. I used photobucket.

 

Gratitude log, Brain dump, & Health Tracker

 

I haven't quite finished filling in the category info, but those are probably the categories I'm going to stick with. It's a process. :). Basically if I work towards a category I always get a point, if I don't I don't get a point. The +2 is saved for bigger occasions/progress, and I guess big enough I might even do a +3.  

[Lara]

Picture time!

The last one is part of a new practice plan for the next 3 months, which I am organizing right now.

 

   

 

I'm being tempted by giving a try to the sketchbook that @Jonesy suggested. It's a thick paper, but I guess that would mean I could use markers without problems, unlike what happens with this paper: you can see that between the moon and the text, the indian I drew in the previous page is visible
