2025 Bullet Journal Setup 💜

[@JashiiCorrin]

Hi team! 💜 Hope you enjoyed the setup 😄 Very looking forward to filling in these layouts a bit closer to the new year 💪 Be sure to grab your free year at a glance printables (plus a range of other bonus materials) over in our resource library 🥳 jashii.com/resources

[@WinryLive]

I'm terrible at meal prepping. When I discovered ingredient prep instead, that was a game changer for me. I'd prep sauteed veggies, rice and chopped veggies, hard boiled eggs, even making scrambled eggs. Then I could very easily toss in a protein and make so many differnet dishes without forcing myself to have the same meal for 4 days straight :P

[@daniellet945]

Such a great adjustment!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Heck yeah 💪 I love the idea of ingredient prep. Make all the dishes once instead of every night 😝

[@bacruz1]

I don't know if I've said this before, but I really, really appreciate your mentioning the time you took with each spread :) thank you!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad you find that valuable 😄💜

[@nuriamateos6209]

I've been hearing you talk about the gamification you're doing and I think I'm gonna make myself a skill tree for my main goals

[@JashiiCorrin]

Heck yeah 🥳 I was thinking about building a skill tree into my system, but decided not this *this time*. Would love to see what you come up with for that though!

[@Beth....]

As an 80s kid this theme makes me stupid happy. I adore this!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha yay! 🥳 glad you liked it!

[@janice338]

I have very nitch hobbies, I reward myself with things to fulfill set hobbies. Yarn, nail polish, fancy color pens... love this set up and the journal

[@JashiiCorrin]

Hobby supplies make for great rewards 😄💜 Glad you liked the setup!

[@rachelhforsyth-tuerck9509]

I was inspired by your rethinking of the calendar. I used to love starting a new journal at the start of a new year. However, last year, I started using 3 journals a year, with the first one starting in December and going to March of the next year. That way, I can start in November getting my next new journal set up through mid January, and cruise through the holidays enjoying & using my journal. I also like keeping New Years memories together in the same journal with the Christmas holiday. I set up all four months of monthly and weekly spreads in pencil without themes, and after that, make a tab to start my daily bullet journaling. Later, I add fun themes/color palettes/fonts before the start of the next month. It’s not too daunting, and the style can reflect what I’m interested in at the moment without needing to plan a style for all four months in advance. Thx Jess for all your ideas 😎👍

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome! 💜 Love the idea of intentionally keeping the Christmas and New Year periods together for memories 😄

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Rewards- little houseplants or buying seed packets for my garden count as rewards for me!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Omg yes 👏 totally putting that as a reward for me. I’m getting very into plants lately 😝

[@starderrick4508]

"Punch fear in the face" i may write that down. I love it.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha glad you liked that one 😂

[@cartoonkitteh]

Reward ideas: Small rewards - favourite snack or drink, x minutes of lying on the sofa and scrolling mindlessly with no regrets, some meditative fun thing like filling a blank page with random doodles or making abstract art. Medium rewards - a "do nothing day", going to a thing I've always wanted to go to but never got round to (visiting a local site, seeing a museum exhibition, going to an event, trying a restaurant) Big rewards - often like the medium rewards but more expensive. A one day spa day (with a sauna and/or professional massage), going to a fancy restaurant I've always wanted to try, getting tickets for a concert or event i want to go to that's a bit more pricey, maybe even a weekend mini holiday/trip

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks for all the ideas! 🥳💜

[@joannedj1]

I have this journal in the Traveler’s Notebook size. The design, especially the black and white chequered pattern, reminded me of the late 70s and early 80s when I was a kid, the ska and 2 Tone music, especially The Specials! 🎵😍

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh nice! 💜 I thought it was such a cool and fun design 😄

[@joannedj1]

The Cool “S”!!! That takes me back! That and bubble writing - my font of choice when I was a teenager in the late 80s! 😂

[@JashiiCorrin]

The S was a must to include 😂

[@mooncraftbujo]

This whole set up speaks to my overgrown emo soul!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha awesome 💜😄 Glad you liked it!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Sounds like a good system 👏 love the idea of intentionally having the Christmas and New Year period together 😄

[@sweet_t_reads]

I LOVE how you did the scribble washi on the headers. Such a great idea!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 💜 lowkey would have been easier (maybe?) to lay the tape down first and the write the titles on sticker paper to stick over top 😝 but I think it turned out well!

[@Cymindis]

reward ideas use things you would normal talk yourself out of because logically you don't need them. some examples from my world: 1 purchasing a book you already own and love, because the new cover would be so pretty on my bookshelf and I can donate the old one 2 some more tombow colours ( no I really don't need more colours.. but I like them) 3 new socks, because they make me smile 4 fun but unnecessary kitchen gadgets, like a dedicated popcorn popper, or that shinny set of ice cream sunday glasses to use instead of my usual bowls.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Fully agree on the “nice to have but don’t need” aspect for rewards 👌 thanks for the ideas! 💜

[@aliciac.7997]

The ‘gamification’ sounds so interesting and such a good motivation to work towards more balance in life! Would love a full info video with a ‘roadmap’ and examples, if you haven’t already! Feel like I need this in my life for 2025 ❤

[@JashiiCorrin]

We’ll be having a full explanation on the channel next week! 😈

[@bluesypop]

I’m loving this theme, it feels very early years Avril Lavigne to me! I can definitely see the ‘emo’ elements! Rewards wise: I was initially thinking of reward trips to places, maybe for food (that’s what I’d do), maybe for a walk somewhere you wouldn’t normally go, that sort of thing. You could for the bigger days make yourself some kind of voucher, so you could reward yourself with a day off, a weekend away, XX amount of money to spend of treat days or something like that! I hope this helps!

[@bluesypop]

P.S. I’m definitely going to be trying your cyclic theme idea, very excited by the prospect of coming into a new year with my journal! ❤

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks for the reward ideas! 😄💜 and glad to hear you’re interested in cyclic planning too 🥳

[@amandafoxton6463]

Great set up thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you. 😊

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome! 😄💜

[@crystalrose_pa]

This theme is so fun! I've been describing my reading journal theme for 2025 as VSCO girl meets Y2K and I feel like there are elements from this theme that would totally work with that!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh nice! 💜 totally forgot about VSCO until just now 😝

[@Bookbonkers8439]

I absolutely love how this turned out! It takes me back, as I’m a child of the 80’s! 😂

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha nice 😂 glad you liked it! 💜

[@lefty.-.journals]

this theme is giving myspace vibes and i love it sooo much, nice job on the free handing, i love the drippy decorations too, i used to do that back in highschool with grifiti drawings i loveeee the work schedule page

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 💜 I totally see the MySpace vibes 😂

[@dorottyadanko3849]

Oh my, this is sooo nostalgic for me! 😍I spent the whole of my 12-18 years old school years doodling in this style to every one of my school notebooks, scribbling Green Day lyrics to the edges of the papers, all the teenage punk rock feels! 😄☠💘

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha nice 💜 Glad you liked it! 😄

[@bettybstompin]

Fantastic theme! Some rewards I use to make me do things I don't like doing are pedicures, massages, my favorite takeaway and my favorite specialty coffee for a smaller reward.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh nice 💜 thanks for the ideas! 😄

[@HeyItsAJOmega]

Oooh, I love this theme and vibe!! I often feel like its very easy for bullet journalling to become very perfectionist, like you put so much effort and energy into the aesthetics of a bujo that you end up running out of spoons to actually use it! Its more a work of art than a functional planner. So a more scruffy/doodly theme would help with the vibe of...this is for *you* and noone else! :) This is also really neat to watch given I'm wondering how to approach planning in 2025. Ive neglected my bujo this year, and I feel like its not the best for me in terms of day by day planning? And if I then use something else, like a Hobonichi Techo planner or Filofax for that, what purpose would the bujo then serve? I seem to like journalling more as a scrapbook/reflective practice rather than future planning, so it *might* be a more loose format next year if I decide to stick with it. 💖

[@JashiiCorrin]

Certainly worth having a go at that! Can totally understand not wanting to have redundancy in your lineup regarding multiple journals/planners with the same function 👏

[@damarisarts9489]

Just a few ideas for rewards... when you hit those higher levels, think of something you'd really like to do in that area of character building. Such as increasing your vitality can be rewarded with a full body massage. Upping your prosperity could allow you to give a large donation to a charity you've been wanting to support. Seems like all these areas have a higher level action that can be the reward. Stewardship= new couch pillows, Charisma= host a game night with friends... ❤

[@JashiiCorrin]

I do love the idea of having the reward tied to the skill area 👏 makes it feel really fitting 😄 thanks for the ideas! 💜

[@MyselfStrange]

The perfect timing of me having sat down just now to journal 😁

[@JashiiCorrin]

Awesome! 💜 happy to keep you company 😊

[@emilie_alombredusequoia]

You put soooo much thoughts into this!!! Wow. You deserve at least a reward or two ❤

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha thanks! 💜😄

[@Mellylein]

Jess, the setup looks great. Well done. Thanks for your video 💐. Best wishes, Melly ✨

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Melly! 💜

[@deebrandao5679]

I'm so glad I found your channel. I want to make my own journal/planner and your work is giving me a lot of ideas and inspiration. Instead of buying a bullet journal and drawing all the spreads, I'm going to be printing my journal and binding it myself tho. As I found through previous attempts that the only way I'll actually use it if it's already ready and doesn't require much set up. Might end up buying a bullet journal to try a few things tho....

[@JashiiCorrin]

Heck yeah for finding a system that works best for you 💪 we have a few people in our community who do a similar print-and-bind process 😄💜

[@megolson9888]

Nicely done Jess. Thanks for sharing. I’m not gamifying my year at all but one of my favorite things to reward myself with is days out in my town. If I get a big project done, I get out of the house for a few hours and go explore. Maybe that ticks off a few of your sections? Hope this helps and that you’re well. Sending my best.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Meg! 😄💜 appreciate the reward idea 💪

[@trippingthewasteland]

Love the setup, it’s perfect for that journal!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 💜 I don’t often match to the cover, but this one felt appropriate😛

[@craighnadun3795]

When my washi tapes don't stick well or pop up, I use a mini double-sided tape runner under them. Just don't use a glue dot runner I the dots are colored because they will show through some tapes.

[@JashiiCorrin]

I ended up adding a little glue pen behind some sections of mine, yeah 👌 only needed it on the small fiddly pieces thankfully

[@gailchu50]

I really enjoyed watching this setup! It looked like you had a fun time setting your journal up with all the cute doodles 🙂

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 😄💜 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@goddess_eve21]

This made me smile ... I love this setup! 🤗✨️🖤

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad you liked it! 😄💜

[@missbilbybadinage1199]

I’ll be using the 8x8 compass for the 1st quarter and looking forward to trying out the cyclic idea, yet to decide theme (waiting for Black Friday sales). 🤔 The pink drip reminds me of Hubba Bubba (purple).

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha nice 😝 I can see that bubblegum connection 👌 good idea to wait for the Black Friday sales 💜

[@musicgirl713]

This set up was amazing! I love the theme so much!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 😄💜 I’m quite pleased with it 👏

[@rlilly1231]

I love your journal theme 🎉 it looks amazing

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 😄💜

[@fabiennecoenders]

Perfect timing! I just now wanted to start my journal setup for 2025 ❤

[@JashiiCorrin]

Nice! 🥳 We can journal together 😈

[@sunshineandsarcasm]

love the setup! the punch letter headers are definitely something i want to incorporate to a future theme in my bujo!! reward ideas: buy a new nail polish or get nails done, get or make a special drink, get a treat (ice cream, baked goods, etc.), a meal at a favorite restaurant, buy something you’ve always wanted but always convince yourself you don’t need, take an intentional day off, have a movie marathon day, get a new book, get a new plant, intentional gaming time, get a new game, try a hobby class, take a day or weekend trip, visit a museum, go to a farmers market or local event, try a new product (skincare, journalling supply, etc.), go for a scenic drive, wine tasting, try a new restaurant, order a meal in, get a new piece of jewelry, get a tattoo, use a hair or face mask, get a new pen or marker set hope that list will inspire some ideas for rewards for you! :)

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh awesome, thanks for the ideas! 😄💜

[@sunshineandsarcasm]

@ thank you for the awesome video content! 💛

[@cwalsh4992]

Love this layout! 🎉

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 😄💜

[@MsSashalious]

Love this, can we have a detailed video on your cycle planning? would love to try it!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Sure! 💜 I’ll make sure there’s one as part of Vlogmas 👌

[@sugarandhoneybujo]

i love this theme!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Sammie! 😄💜

[@angelinam.1524]

As you put down the film strip tape, I wonder, can you write and wipe off using that tape like you would contact paper? If so, it could make for cool little checklists.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Strong possibility 🤔 haven’t tried it, but it’s the right material for effectively and in-journal whiteboard 😝

[@TJulieta]

I love that pink is your New Year's color 🩷😄 It's a great color for punching fear in the face 💜😂

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha thanks! 💜 Pink for the new year seems to be a trend for me 😝

[@TJulieta]

@@JashiiCorrin Haha, I saw that trend in one of your Livestream videos, and the fact that it happened in this setup gave me a chuckle. I always love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing 💜

[@WhatDaniUp2Now]

Just bought my first a&o a5 🎉🎉

[@JashiiCorrin]

Nice! 🥳 hope you love it 😈

[@KiraLuvzYou]

oh my gaaaaa the stylized S is giving me Jr. High flashbacks 😅 the amount of time i spent trying to learn how to draw that......

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Glad you punched fear in the face. LOL Bravo!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Hah thanks! 😄💜

[@RachaelStephanie]

Congrats on reaching 100k🎉

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 😄💜

[@Thedockofdreamworld]

Imagine if we could comment with uploaded pictures, that would be one for history. On tiktok, tooooo. The innovation!!&!

[@JashiiCorrin]

That’d be awesome 👏 I feel like the feature would definitely get abused with some not so savoury things being posted, but it’d be great for people getting to share their layouts in our community 😝

[@pwassonchat]

I was curious if you were going to do the S doodle, and you did! :D

[@JashiiCorrin]

I was told it must be there 😂💜

[@angelinaf4141]

This theme brings me back to my young emo/pop punk days haha, love it! I'll definitely draw inspiration from your video for my bujo next year 😊

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha glad you liked it 😄💜

[@craighnadun3795]

"When are we doing that? Anywhere from a few hours to the next 3 or 4 months!" As a professional procrastinator, I can totally relate! 🤣

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha glad I’m not alone with that one 😝

[@unflitered_ash]

I love this theme!!! Now i wanna get a bujo n do thie theme but i already got my planner😭

[@JashiiCorrin]

Not sure what structure your planner has, but you could always use this style for some decoration? 💜😊

[@isaleiberg4168]

i audibly gasped out loud when i heard that this is an Archer and Olive notebook, it's so different!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Yeah it was from their Nostalgia collection last year 😄💜

[@clarelizzies]

Short walks to the fridge for coke zero 💜💜💜💜💜

[@JashiiCorrin]

My favourite walks 😂💜

[@qqwoo]

i want to start a prompts journal but idk how i should begin. i searched the whole internet for a set up and can't find anything. do you mind doing a set up for prompts journal ~ 🙏

[@JashiiCorrin]

I’m not too sure quite what you mean by a prompts journal 🤔 do you mean like journaling prompts with space to write your responses, or something else? If that description fits though then something like the 5 year journal idea we have on the channel could help? Just take out the specifically 5 year structure of it if need be: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoe4gnyJhZujjpo

[@michelleliong]

*looks at my journal and sighs

[@JashiiCorrin]

Hope that was sighing with love 👀 your journal loves you 👏

[@milam_is_ok]

This came out beautiful, and I love the cover too! (That's the one I voted for hehe)

[@JashiiCorrin]

It was a good journal pick 👌😈 thanks!

[@guardtoons]

Where did you get the film washi from?

[@JashiiCorrin]

Journalsay 😊💜

[@guardtoons]

Thank You🥰

[@WhatDaniUp2Now]

Getting new ideas after starting my 2025 set up 🤦‍♀️ 🤷‍♀️✍️ now I will have 2 T&E (trial and error) journals 😂

[@JashiiCorrin]

Love the name T&E journal 👏

[@brendalima5292]

I'm the opposite, I'm great at giving myself prizes but not completing any assignments. 😂 If I'm the one in control of prize-giving, I'll be ignoring conditions all the time and just giving myself the prize anyway 🤭

[@JashiiCorrin]

Can relate 😂 Going to have to figure out a system to help me avoid that 😝

[@F1RECRACKR]

I'm going to be doing a lot of punching fear in the face from now on. LOL

[@JashiiCorrin]

Heck yeah 💪💜

[@wendybird.]

Punch fear in the face sounds like a good start for a year

[@JashiiCorrin]

2025's motto 👌 haha 😝

[@AlisonThompson-r4h]

Punch fear in the face😂😂

[@JashiiCorrin]

Heck yeah 💪

[@priyacray]

Can we please talk about the way you wrote the S on shopping on the name plate page? 🙈 I've never seen someone write S from the bottom to the top like that! PS: I love the setup but chose to bring some humour to my comments as a break from my constant gushing

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha 😂 yeah sometimes writing the S from the bottom makes it easier for me to get the spacing right 👌

[@AuroraTigress]

💕🏁

[@JashiiCorrin]

😈💜

[@zarifahsvlogmalaysia7854]

Its kinda giving 2010s teenage girls theme or maybe even 2000s

[@JashiiCorrin]

Heck yeah 🥳 glad that came across, haha
