One of the big motivators for me to start bullet journaling was the way you can track things so easily. It helped me get better treatment with my doctor since I get migraine and tracking other aspects helped show that there actually was no pattern. Sometimes no pattern is just as helpful as a tracker showing a pattern.

as a 15 year who has migranes as well i reallyyyyyyy understand this sooo well. It's quite important to track your migranes even if there is no pattern it kinda helps me mentaly idk why 🤣

😮😮😮😮😮 I LOVE my first part of the year journal... so much so that I have used it every single day... so would it be selfish if I said I wanted this journal to complete my year? My spreads are beautiful, perfection, but this type of theme is everything I wish I could be as a journaler. LOL These are my favorite colors... those PET tapes? I have yet to be able to get my hands on any, but these are stunning!!! Whoever wins this.... man, they are super lucky! seriously, I have used your journal every single day since January... It changed my life, Erin! Thank you again... this setup is just perfection!

Love how well this journal came together. You're very good at colour themes and making separate types of washi themes work together. The name of the journal is appropriately whimsical.

I do tracking four different ways tbh. I track health related issues in a year in pixels type of tracker, once per month habits in a monthly tracker, once per week habits in a weekly tracker and my regular daily habits in daily trackers. I'm a very forgetful person and need especially the daily trackers to keep track of stuff like medicine intake, and as for the monthly and weekly ones they help me reflect at the end of the month on how my activity was and how I managed working towards my goals. Anyway, I like the choice of decoration you chose for this start of journal setup. That purple floral washi tape especially is gorgeous.

HI ERIN HOPEFULLY YOU DIDN'T FORGET ABOUT ME LOL🤣 ! the set up is soooo pretty clearly the winner is going to be very lucky, and what makes me like this set up even more is that it's PURPLE💜!! Literally my most favourite color, and it's also the theme color for BTS 💜(SARANGAE ) which i LOVE💜! the things you said about goals is SOOO TRUE, like as a teen i really do struggle with that but i try to remind myself it's never to late to start, or even start again you know👍. Your videos are always very inspirational, idk if you know that but sometimes you say things that really touch the heart ❤. And the qoutes are really inspirational as well LOVE YOU AND MITSU 😻❤❤!!!

You might think that the green and purple colour scheme is repetitive, but it doesn't feel that way. Each set up in that colour combination have been unique and it feels like they get better with each one you make. I love this theme, it's beautiful, have a refreshing feel and it kind of just makes me smile. Very pretty ^^

Beautiful set-up. I love how you used the PET tape as well as the washi tapes throughout the journal. I got a lot of helpful tips for my next journal set-up. It’s so intimidating to start with a blank journal which is why I’ve never been successful in completing one. Good luck to everyone. 💜💚

Loved the future log on two pages. I put the entire year on a 2 pages spread in my journal but it feels cramped. I will try it on 4 page next year. And leaving a space between washi and top/bottom of the page for decorations ended up really nice..so I will be copying that spread is what I am saying 😁 and might try the same but on the sides just to see what it looks like

For the trackers the first time I tried using one I placed it at the start of the journal so yearly type. I ended up not flipping back to it when using the weekly so not useful for me. I tried on a monthly basis using a dutch door style (I see the tracker whenever I use my weeklies) so I have a tendency to use it and not forgetting. It does narrow the pages for the weekly and I can’t do some of the nice spreads that I like….. so I might try using a larger bullet journal next?

I track monthly, but translate that data to a yearly tracker. So lets say I track the # of days I drink at least 8 cups of water throughout a single month - When the month is over I'll go write on the yearly tracker the # of days for that month that I hit that goal. I repeat that every month and at the end of the year I can see how that fluctuated. It helps set goals month-to-month as well.

I’ve been using the Mellow Days Reverie journal, which has watercolour paper! If you like to paint in your journal a lot I’d recommend it, but if it’s only something you do occasionally I wouldn’t - it’s a lovely painting experience but a less enjoyable journaling experience for me 🥲
