HOW I SET UP MY 2021 BULLET JOURNAL
I started using a bullet journal last year because of the flexibility + the creativity it allowed. I loved it so much and decided to continue to use one this year. I love seeing how people set up their spreads, so I thought it would be fun to share mine. I tend to stick to a minimal look with limited charts, focusing more on a functional to-do list.

TOP 10 + 2021 Intentions
On the left side, I have my only list for the year. It is my top 10 for 2021. Here I will put events, moments, etc that make an impact. I keep a lot of my goals/intentions and action plans for those digital, but on the right, I included my overall intention for 2021:
LIVE WITH INTENTION. FIND BALANCE
LISTEN HARD. PRACTICE WELLNESS.
CHOOSE NO REGRET.
CONTINUE TO LEARN.
APPRECIATE YOUR PEOPLE.
DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND LIVE AS IF
THIS IS ALL THERE IS.

Weekly set up
Each week I set up a four-page spread, this is the first two. Here I keep my tracker for my weekly habits. This year I am focusing on the following:
meditation -- tracking my daily meditation practice
podcast -- tracking when I listen to podcasts + how many
news -- tracking when I read my top three daily newsletters in my inbox
‘learn’ -- tracking doing something to learn every day, for the month of Jan I am focusing on Masterclass
french -- tracking my daily french lesson
stretch -- tracking daily stretching
move -- tracking daily exercise
daily gratitude
Next, I have space for my daily gratitude.

daily to-do list
The next three pages are chunked into half pages for each day’s to-do list. The three squares with the red dots are for my top three tasks for the day. On the right side of each day, I put my personal tasks.
