Beautifully done! Whether you use “to” or “for” will depend on how you start your list items. If you are using a verb in present tense use “to” (ex: to do, to run, to visit, to paint, etc.). If you are using the present participle of a verb (verbs ending in “ing”) then you use “for” (ex: for doing, for running, for visiting, for painting, etc.). You would also use “for” if the next word is a noun (ex: for family, for fun, for ice cream, etc.). I hope this helps!!

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much for the explanation, this is very helpful! 🥰

[@connorsmith9244]

I think you would say "I want to make time FOR" if a noun follows; "I want to make time TO" if a verb follows. But what's more important, I think that is something most native english speakers will use interchangeably. LOVE the metallic florals on black, combined with the art deco. Absolutely beautiful.

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much for clarifying that! 🥰 And for the kind words too!

[@LynnetteAnne]

"I want to have time to" works fine, or "make time for" 🙂 beautiful theme! I'm inspired to do my own great Gatsby theme this year!

[@roseam14]

Both “to” and “for” work! It just depends what part of speech you want to use after. I’d say time “to” do something (ie, a verb) and time “for” someone or something (ie, a noun). So you could say … make time to practice yoga. As opposed to … make time for yoga. Or … make time to chat with one friend/family member, versus … make time for friends and family. Love this theme … so beautiful and such striking patterns with that lovely gold paint!

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much for the kind words and detailed explanation! 🥰 It's really helpful!

[@Crysta_mchenry]

The 4 corners you made seriously look like they’re embroidered

[@JournalAway]

That's so kind!! Thank you! 🥰

[@_Noirscape]

Beautiful theme! “To” and “for” both work but for different things. You can say “I want to have time to hang out with friends” or “I want to have time for hanging out with friends” and both are grammatically correct.

[@xnuttyhheadx]

Hiya! Both statements you mentioned about the 'make time for' and 'make time to' - they do both make sense. I think I'd personally use 'make time for' to cover general targets and 'make time to' to cover more action based targets but that's just a personal preference. If this was an exam I don't think it would make any difference in the context you've used them in, like I don't think you'd be marked down or anything so you've definitely used them in the correct way! I love your January setup by the way! The gold and black is so striking and the white just adds an extra layer of contrast - it's very beautiful! 💜

[@carlienvandernet7902]

It looks absolutely beautiful. Wishing you wonderful days together with your family.

[@evelynpeavy]

“I want to have this too.” Is the correct version. Beautifully done.

[@dragonlong936]

Oh wow 🤩 It looks spimple but very elegant beautiful and brightness hope you can do that in the next journal ( but something much more like flowers he he :))) )

[@JournalAway]

Haha thank you so much! 🥰

[@DIYwithZini]

Unbelievably beautiful

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 🥰❤️

[@dandelionpuff]

"I want to have time to" works well when you follow it with an infinitive verb, since English infinitives are "to _____", but you can change it to "for" if you want to use nouns or present participles! "I want to have time to go on hikes" vs "I want to have time for hikes" and "I want to have time for hiking". It just depends on how you want to structure your entries :)

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! 🥰 This was very helpful!

[@jeanrobinson6584]

Stunning artwork! So beautiful! x

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@anitamehrotra4278]

This is a stunning spread with black and gold with dainty red flowers❤

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@MaiMaiMai22222]

Haha, i use Sunday starts!!! Besides that, this theme looks so elegant 😍☄

[@NalaShore]

This is exquisite! 😍 I am using a black paper notebook for the first half of 2023 so this was so inspiring!!! 🤩

[@brendabignall9926]

So... pretty!!! 🌺⚫✨ Happy Holidays!!! ♥️🫂🎄😊✨

[@JournalAway]

Thank you!! Happy Holidays to you too 🥰❤️

[@danielapeer8760]

Wow, this is a gorgeous set up! 😍

[@maaikekort659]

Wow this is amazing! So detailed and well a lot of work, but glad you also found it relaxing to make the patterns. I think I will try the 'I want to have time to' this month in my own bullet journal!

[@tatianavelasco1335]

love the black and gold pattern spread so much

[@gabrielalauracolimodio9988]

So beautiful, Anna!!! Gold, black and red combine perfectly and the fonts are nice, too. Happy Holidays!

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 🥰 Happy Holidays to you too!

[@staceyb.5878]

It's gorgeous, as always! Your journals are truly little art galleries

[@JournalAway]

Awww that's so kind! Thank you so much! 🥰

[@roses_are_rosies1757]

Been a fan for a while and you never fail to amaze me with your beautiful spreads!!!

[@AnyaLevchuk]

Wow! This work is astonishing 😍 you’re so talented!

[@JournalAway]

Aww thank you so much 🥹🤍

[@sportzone24112]

Hello! I always watch your monthly set up videos. You are an amazing artist! I would say "I want to have time for" but either are appropriate.

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@hatimaji6268]

This is so beautiful and delicately detailed. Splendid !

[@rozettemori]

Woow! this is just amazing! i love your creations so much and this spread is so fancy! 100/10 💛🖤

[@efitz3397]

Just found your channel, absolutely gorgeous. I’m going to use pre printed paper to recreate your ideas, I wouldn’t have the time right now to paint. 😊

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 🥰 Completely understand, there's not always time to paint patterns like these 😅

[@jessicamilton5128]

I love this theme! I keep visualizing it in maybe a spring pastels color scheme and it’s kinda giving me beauty and the beast vibes. But I love it as is too! I’m not a digital journaled but the digital version is so tempting to try.

[@smartkayla]

Like ur so inspirational … like to the point it’s so hard not to directly copy ur layouts for mine 😂😂😂😂 cuz they’re so pretty

[@MrOddshadeofblue]

This is beyond lovely! Wow! It's a beautiful timeless theme I think Loooove it 💛🖤💛🖤

[@dianak.5412]

Looks so beautiful and elegant!

[@aliciajohnson6571]

I think "to" or "for" depends on what you want to follow. If its more like a task (i.e. a verb follows to), "to" works. For instance, you can make time for friends and family, but make time to CALL friends and family. :)

[@JournalAway]

Ohh that makes sense! Thank you so much, it's really helpful! 😊❤️

[@jenny.s_attic]

I love all of your plan with me videos! It’s more of a genuine artwork ❤ It’s a bit intimidating for me but I’d like to challenge myself to do one someday.

[@JournalAway]

Aww thank you so much! 🥰 I completely understand how it can be intimidating! But I encourage you to try anyway, at least when you have enough time for it! 😊

[@briannabarhorst6932]

Thank you for your consistent inspiration! 💯💖

[@JessicaComptonHR]

I am always in awe with your spreads. They always look so beautiful ❤ and are so inspiring!

[@JournalAway]

That's so kind! 🥰 Thank you so much! ❤️

[@createwithlulu]

Ohhh I just looovvee this set-up!! Never stop creating because you will always inspire someone! ( like me ) 💗i just posted my January set-up and i did a mountain theme…. Your theme is perfect for the new year! I love the finished look! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎊 PS i loooovveeee the gold!❤

[@JournalAway]

You're so sweet, thank you so much!! 🥰❤️ I'm happy you enjoyed this thene 😍

[@amelieromanticreader]

So georgous !

[@Phael_Nefeli]

It's Beautifull ! I really like it, I don't know but I want to call you theme like "Heart of Gold". Thank you for this video you help me to find idea for mine ! Now I have so much idea.

[@storiedlibrary4628]

This is stunning! So beautiful!

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much!! 😍

[@scoiataeli]

stunning!

[@casablancalily822]

Beautiful

[@KB_Espy2009]

“I want to have time to:” and “I want to have time for:” are both grammatically correct. The only difference between them is the verb form you would use after. “I want to have time to … go stargazing” or “I want to have time for … stargazing.” In using “to,” you will need an action verb to complete the sentence; whereas with “for,” you would use the gerund form (the -ing form) of the verb.

[@pauline5596]

This theme ist so stunning, Anna 💛! How do you manage to get such beautiful ideas all the time. I currently have a black bullet journal and will try this theme out in there 💫.

[@carolinaazevedo2088]

It looks as out of another era

[@KimKilgour]

That is stunning!!!

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@KimKilgour]

@@JournalAway I may need to copy the designs. I’m in love with it! Amazing art work!

[@carolinegodard3886]

Beautiful as always :) I was looking for ideas how to use the metallic watercolours .

[@JournalAway]

I'm happy to hear that! Thank you so much! 🥰

[@TracyLynn2744]

Gorgeous!

[@JournalAway]

Thank you! 😍

[@danleyehl6392]

This is very helpful and beautiful. I was getting frustrated with setting my goals and I really appreciate that you had a quarterly spread and then a goal spread in the month. Thank you! Also, your phrase works you can also use: “I want to have the time to” or “I want to have the time for”. Thanks for the fun video!

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much for answering my grammar question, haha! And thank you for the kind words, too! Happy to hear it was helpful 🥰

[@sumaiyapervez647]

one of ur best i do believe

[@JournalAway]

Awww thank you very much! 🥰

[@annu4524]

Tämä on niin kaunis. Juuri kun luulen nähneeni kaiken keksit jotain uutta.♥️

[@MeowMyselfandI]

This might be my favourite theme I've seen you make, it's so beautiful! The colours work really well and the gold and red really pop so wonderfully

[@JournalAway]

Thank you so much! 😍 You're so kind!
