2019 Bullet Journal Setup | Minimal & Simple

[@JournalwithPeggy]

I like that you mentioned, "what you want your bullet journal to do for you instead of what you need to do for it". I agree with you. 👍 Once again, very pretty and encouraging. Worth waiting for.

[@milaeichelsheim6053]

your voice is so relaxing and totally fits the mood of this spread. suuuch a pretty spread this month xx

[@christinemylinh]

So many wonderful comments, thank you! Some of you asked about the music and it is now in the description! And the book I mentioned is called The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll, it is definitely a good read for the new year! 💕

[@building.flowers]

R u ok? I really hope you are

[@karennagallagher9531]

8:32 is the flip through. Just in case you want to know.😀

[@쥴스-n3e]

Way you talk is so soothing..

[@Gray_Day_Flower_Farm]

I adore this set up. I have several goals I have to meet early this year and have been searching for the right word to keep me going. Of course I’ve been trying to hard to find the right word when “Focus” is the simplest and perfect word. Thank you for your videos. Sometimes I try to make things to complicated and need that simple reminder. Your videos always do that for me.

[@mirjamspassies6033]

I so understand you! Someone suggested the bullet journal system instead of a regular planner..When I searched for it I was overwhelmed by all the creativity and time consuming lay outs. Beautiful but knowing myself it would totally distract me instead of helping me. Still there was something that kept me looking at all those "plan with me"-s. When I saw the minimalist layouts I began to see that it would be something for me after all. And with the printables, especialy the calenders (Thanks!!!) it saves me a lot of time and it gives me a beautiful journal after all! So I'm happy to know the system and use it like it was meant in the first place. And whenever I want to make it more beautiful or track more I can always add that later or use the beautiful printables!

[@harshita6674]

This is truly so beautiful. Simple and pretty.

[@saisriv0304]

Am I the only one that loves ghosting? I use mainly a black pen, and something about the look of crowded, messy handwriting is charming to me-

[@maddieek6865]

No i feel the same way haha. i dont like thick pages because they're so stiff LOL

[@sixfourtyfive]

I love the look of ghosting and the feel of thin paper

[@minarva]

😱😱😨😨😰😰why do you love that

[@fairydustlight3489]

Gorgeous journal. I love your artwork. All your animal drawings evoke such gentleness and serenity as if they inhabit a kind and nurturing landscape. Thanks for sharing and thank you for the free calendar download.

[@kelliesundstrom4306]

I'm new to bullet journaling and came across your video. I love the simplicity of your work / set up, its just what I'm looking for in inspiration. You have a very calming voice with great words of inspiration as well. Thank you, job well done.

[@hillaryhall5172]

As always, you've produced spreads that impart peace, happiness, and love. You are so very talented! I sure hope that you haven't been too overwhelmed and that you've had time to take care of yourself amidst the craziness! Love your work so much and really looking forward to all your spreads this new year!!!

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

I've been really struggling the last month or so (6 weeks), and it's been such a task to just be peaceful and intentional. this video brought me so much peace that it actually made me teary eyed. You're not putting on a facade that everything is OK and you can do it all -- no one can, so why pretend?! It just feels like you're talking to me, even though I know you're talking to yourself. So thank you so much for this video

[@writingraven3314]

For my first bullet journal ever, I got a journal from Archer and Olive, and I am loving the very light dots and quality of the paper. There is very little to no ghosting or bleed through.

[@SviraSvi]

Your videos are SO lovely, I really have no idea how you do it, but you must be some sort of wonderful magician :) Happy New Year!

[@beawuhu8728]

I really like your new minimalistic drawing. I hope this approach works for you and keeps you motivated and going. Everything you create seems so easy and makes me feel like I'm able to be creative too. Thank you so much! xoxo

[@d.oertliche]

I started bullet journalling this year and as much fun as it was to doodle for the first 3 months, I was overwhelmed by it just before the fourth month started. I still wanted to doodle and make it look pretty but since I have to move into another journal for the rest of the year I take it as a chance to get a fresh start and focus on what's really important for me rather than have it look good. I hope this video will be helpful for me and that I might incorporate some of your ideas ^^

[@Mixite]

I really like how minimalistic this set up is. Love your style and your messages. Thank you for sharing the calendar set up as a free download.

[@barbaraschots5333]

Trop contente d’être de retour et de pouvoir à nouveau voir tes réalisations que j’adore 💖

[@carrotcake19mak]

omg! First time I’ve watched your video and I love everything about it! It doesn’t just give me bujo inspirations/tips, it is also so calming to watch!

[@simplelivingbulgaria3662]

Such a calming video...I have always wanted to bullet journal but have been overwhelmed by all the stuff people put in them-this was exactly the inspiration I needed to get started and enjoy a minimalist bullet journal!

[@misscherrylinh2259]

Love love looove this!! Love how you separate a whole year into quarters to give yourself more chances. Thank you so much for reminding us how many chances we actually have. This is beyond beautiful! 😍

[@aliicat3266]

I love how you incorporate your characters across all of your setups!

[@leonieranson8093]

This is truly amazing! You have the most beautiful voice to listen to and you really inspired me to draw more and improve my art! Can't wait to see all the precious spreads you will make this year!!

[@lelacurtis1651]

This video feels like a warm hug.

[@whiterosestories]

i think this is the most calming and beautiful bullet journal video i've ever watched ✨

[@phila7671]

Really appreciate your minimal natural art and simple designs. Lovely! I'm still working out functionality and watching how others achieve white space is an inspiration. Great idea to type texts on sticker paper.

[@Withlove_J540]

Hi Christine, I hope you're having a wonderful start to the new year! This is a beautifully minimal setup for 2019, and I couldn't resonate with your words even more. Thank you for being such an inspiration! I'm so excited for your studio vlogs and all the magic you'll create this year! Sending you much love and light!

[@raisakarso]

this is the most beautiful and simple bullet journal setup so far!

[@EmmieMaria265]

I love your new setup. It is very pretty and clean. I so resonate with you on keeping it simple and more like what you (or you as in yourself) want. I like watching what other people do in their journals but to be honest, all those super creative painted bullet journals kinda gave me the feeling i was failing. I am a list girl. Basically i have a bullet journal to make a to do list for a week. I like the week instead of the day because it gives me freedom. I don’t have trackers. I don’t have a lot of other lists. Sometimes i draw on the monthly page. Sometimes i just write the name of the month and be done with it. My journal isn’t very pretty. It has a certain astatic in it’s simplicity. I am no were near as good an artist as you. But that fine. My journal helps me. It doesn’t need to be a work of art. Having the idea i have to make a monthly page or doodle pretty stuff around edges only makes me feel nervous. So i figured after a couple of months. Why am i doing this? My journal should help me. And now that i have stopped doing it and just have the very simple lay out. It does. And i am very happy for you that you found a new way to make your journal help you as well.

[@polly2900]

The bear and bunny are so cute. Great job👍

[@lenawadera]

I have to say that almost every time you're telling the story about the Bunny and the Bear, I have tears in my eyes. I don't know why is that (other than that it's simply BEAUTIFUL and you have a perfect voice for telling touching stories like that), but there certainly aren't a lot of things that can make me cry and somehow that story is doing it all the time. I can't wait for your book! I love your new bullet journal and I wish you a wonderful year. (sorry for my poor English!)

[@nopeg5730]

Your English is wonderful! The only thing I would point out is that you mixed up two words... when telling someone something and you don't know why, it is (and I don't know why that is, or just I don't know why. Rather than "why is that". Hope this helps, and again, your English is wonderful and so close to flawless! 😃

[@lenawadera]

@@nopeg5730 Thank you so much! I love when people are correcting my English but unfortunately my foreign friends are too polite to do it. It drives me crazy, because I keep making these stupid mistakes :D. So thank you again! :)

[@nopeg5730]

@@lenawadera Of course! English is such a complicated language with such strange grammar rules, so I'm happy to help.

[@michellehoang576]

The set up is so beautiful and calming. Also simple and not complicated. Looking forward to see more of the bunny and the bear journey.

[@yasminmedina4686]

This was a good reminder of the best thing about the bullet journal: the fact that it adjusts to your needs.

[@marisadaniela6]

Your 2018 flip thru made me cry, it was so beautiful and encouraging. This new 2019 video has got me feeling motivated and inspired. Well done on your journals and your videos. You are such a help to me. I appreciate you, and adore your art❤

[@maepple]

You are literally a Children's Book Princess! I wish that one day I can be as inspiring and gentle as you, especially to my future kids lol Thanks again for the amazing glimpse into your journal ~

[@KarolinaZebrowska]

Wow, this setup is amazing! I love how you divided future log into quarters. Looks beautiful!

[@GoodBunny89]

new subscriber. love your simplistic idea. i came across the bullet journal idea a few weeks ago. finally got my journal yesterday. time to take the leap and start. nice video. thank you.

[@elisanaguele1997]

You have suuuch a soft voice and it fits so perfect with the music you choose! You've got a new subscriber!♥️

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Happy New Year, Christine. You are such an inspiration to me last year. I am so excited for what's in store for me this year. I always watch your videos and follow you on IG, although, I rarely comment, I really admire your work. Your calming voice is something to look forward to each month. Enjoy 2019! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful year again. Blessings and hugs~ Josie :)

[@anna._4515]

I have been DYING for this video!!! U are so inspirational that it makes me what to do so many things that I want to do but I don't have time for. Your words and videos are filled with so much wisdom! I wish for u to have a great year and a great day with no regrets and only Happy accidents! I look forward to your videos not as an expectation but as an encouragement to continue doing what u love!! Also, take your time 😊😊 Patience is a lesson needed in life!!

[@jennh3106]

Ahhhh so happy you’re back! I was worried!! Hope the year has had a nice start for you and I love your setup. Hands down you have the best bullet journal aesthetic on KZbin 💙💙💙

[@Kay-rh1bd]

Honestly, I needed this. I always felt like all the trackers everyone had like music and movies were stuff I was never going to use. I wanted something cute and doodle-like that would encourage me to keep up the journal up and that would functionally work. Thank you so much! I got a new journal and I’m excited to start my first bullet journal to see if it works for me! :)

[@supahtk9780]

Loved this and everything you had to say about your intentions for the year, as well as the minimalist bujo set up!

[@Moominpup]

I am addicted to watching gorgeous bullet journal videos that I would never be delicate or talented enough to create myself O___O

[@altairdelirio]

your voice is so nice wtf im so calmed by it

[@scarlettlawton9260]

Try the archer and olive journal, you might prefer it next time you start a journal

[@amandaangueira6473]

I really loved this. I can never stick to a bullet journal but this is inspiring.

[@alinabeaman8252]

the bunny and bear are so fricken cute it just warms my heart so much, i just wish i was capable of drawing it

[@PurpleDrums73]

This is my first time watching your videos and I must say...I absolutely loved all of the wisdom you shared! You're definitely in a great headspace

I really wish I watched your bullet journal setup before I did mine. You have no idea how much time and back pain you would have saved me😭 _The printable sticker thing?_ *Genius!*

[@dax4093]

this is my first time watching her and I feel so calm

[@Gretchen60_startingover]

Happy New Year!!! It is so amazing how we have picked the same word to us in our journals this year. My word of the year is focus. I love your journal this month. It is beautiful as usual.

[@seharali462]

such a beautiful setup, and your voice is so elegant

[@kmellee]

Oh wow this is my first video of yours that I’ve seen and it was such a breath of fresh air. I stopped using a bullet journal because I found it overwhelming to keep up with and it caused my stress in my life than needed. I ended up switching to a regular planner which works much better for my work and daily needs, but I still use a bullet journal for my own personal musings and as a creativity outlet. Everything you talked about is exactly what I am channeling in 2019. Looking forward to more videos from you!

[@LadyArtemis13]

[@minarvadas4164]

You voice is so soothing I love listening to you

[@purva1422]

Your videos calm me so much! I hope you find that peace from your journaling this year as well. Thank you for the constant motivation ❤️

[@adventuredan5487]

Bit late, but looking for ideas for 2020. Love the idea of the sticker paper! I'm not arty, this will give me a bit more depth!

[@lydinearriola8920]

Have you tried Archer & Olive? Love their bullet journals!!! Super thick and great for watercolors as well!

[@BlatantlyBookish]

Your videos are the most calming and inspiring! I am starting a bullet journal this year and I hope to stick to it for a change. I actually ended up purchasing the same journal as you, except it is orange and is void of any dots or lines. I just finished decorating the cover last night, and I plan on tackling the inside spreads today. I love it, but it's a chaotic collage that's very different than your clean minimalistic style. Happy new year! I cannot wait to see how your journal grows throughout the year! ♥♥♥

[@cristinamagurean]

Beautiful!!! Just like you !!! Happy New Year from Transilvania!

[@Tei_022]

I’m realizing what you said now in this video. I did my first spread and I was like “Okay, I guess I don’t need a bunch of trackers.” So I removed my mood tracker because I never really felt the need to use it. I’m a busy person now, and I want to make my bullet journal look nice.. but I also am not willing to learn how to draw and doodle all over the page because I find it wastes time.. and I’m a busy person. Heheh. 😊

[@prakritisrivastava3712]

Loved the division of goals into quarters so that it doesn't get too overwhelming. Gonna try it. ❤🌌

[@minagelina]

I love how peaceful this one is. I think I will use some of that for my first one. Thank you!

I love the scribbles that matter. I got the white notebook but the pages are off white. I have the same problem with harsh white pages. Have you checked it out? The paper quality always works for me

[@jeannesauvage117]

Once again, a lovely and inspiring video. Thank you so much!

[@FaerieDust]

That sticker paper blew my mind - I had no idea that kind of paper existed! Pasting in bits of regular paper bothers me unreasonably much, but if I could print the more complex things I want it'd make my life so much easier...

[@LeeYinJia]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! They are so inspiring! Thank you so much for making them! ♥

[@noen3978]

Christine, wow 😢💖 This is great timing and good quality content. I also just filmed mine today (although I'm so unsure about uploading yet) but seems like this year is a theme of white journal covers with off white pages! I manage to find a hidden gem in a cheap store I passed by, it also looked like yours except it had line grid pages. I also had the same problems of the grid not being the same for each page, sometimes cut too much on the left or skewed. The paper was also almost similar to cheap printer paper and I couldn't write on the same area twice with a brush marker because of bleed through. That said, my theme was semi-minimalism, to tolerate mistakes and imperfection more, and simplicity, so I was so shocked and found myself nodding too hard when you mentioned about "Failing with the intent to learn". *So if it's okay too, I'd like to quote you, because I've never had those words to fully express what I wanted to say. And this video was just perfect for it* I love how meaningful each piece in your bullet journal is and hope to strive and reach this level of wow-ness. I hope you have a great year ahead! 💗 -Noen P.S. Okay woah, I was looking for sticker paper like that semi-clear matte one you have? This video is really a blessing, I'm gonna cry in joy. Thank you so much for being Christine 😢💗

I was so shocked when you said one of your words for 2019 is simplicity because I have decided the same thing! I took a similar approach to you as far as setting up my bullet journal as well by focusing on what I want and need versus trying to do what someone else is doing. I loved your set up and I really love your style! :)

[@tigerpixieprincess]

Happy New Year! Once again I'm inspired to read that book, I'm gonna get it eventually! Your setups are so nice and simple, I love it. And the idea of that matte paper is amazing, I should invest in that... Edit: I ordered the book!

[@famnmnable]

I can see what you mean about the ghosting. Next time, you might want to checkout Lemome and/or Archer and Olive. They have the best paper thickness that I have seen.

[@jazmine7798]

I recommend Dingbats. It's a dot-grid journal with cream and thick pages. I don't know if they have white, tho. Still, I have seen your creativity and I'm sure you can make it white if you desire.
