MY 2019 BULLET JOURNAL WALKTHROUGH | Debt Tracking, Budgeting

[@veronicaramirez5827]

off topic but I just want to say, that at a person that fixates on little things that shouldn't matter.. I love that you kept saying "that's okay" when mentioning the mistakes you made. It reminded me that it IS okay. thanks for the video!

[@alyssamakeseverything]

I'm SO glad! 😊 I used to be so frustrated when I'd try and bullet journal and make little mistakes, but I'm glad I've learned now that it doesn't matter, even if your journal is going to be on the internet 😂 It's just for you!

[@alyssakeck4695]

Alyssa does cash envelopes, I do cash envelopes, Alyssa starts bullet journaling, I start bullet journaling... please don’t start like doing drugs or taming lions okay😂

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Bahaha oh my gosh 😂 No plans to do either one of those things!

[@ALXSSA]

Aye we are all Alyssa's in here lol

[@betinaceciliafeld9854]

Allysa Keck lmao 😂😂😂

[@mayraalvarado7219]

I love how you have the markers separated by cool and warm lol

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Haha thank you!

[@rebeccachassin4498]

I do that for colored pencils 😅

[@AiOmeTV]

Wow! This is a very good video. I used to have a diary when I was young but eventually stopped. Having watched this video, I suddenly felt the urged to start again. This time, like yours, Bullet Journal.

[@shelbytylerfashiondesigner]

More bullet journal videos please! I’m adding bullet journal pages to my happy planner so everything is one place! Loved the video I’m taking some of your ideas girlie lol

[@mariandreepelayo4570]

I also want to start with the bullet journal method because I want to have everything more organized for a very special protect that I want to do, so good luck and have fun too!!

[@KailaAerial]

I love the idea of a bullet journal but my handwriting is crap😅

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Seriously, practice makes perfect! Don't let that stop you! It'll be fun to flip through your journal a year from now and see how much your handwriting has improved 😊

[@viennajoanna]

Bullet Journal is about making things practical and easy for you, not to look pretty. That's just an extra if you want to!

[@Chronically.sarahdayton]

Aerial Kahookele your handwriting shouldn’t matter much. It’s more to keep organized and inspired! I enjoy it so much! I actually found that my handwriting got so so much better even after a couple of months of using my bullet journal. I would encourage you to give it a shot!

[@irmaalvarado6961]

So is mine, but I’m trying!!

[@meganb5290]

Same! I still journal but I see all these pretty ones with drawings on KZbin but mine is no pictures, just plain writing that's boring lol

[@tonifrancis6945]

I love the “think before you buy” section. A good rule of thumb is to consider how many hours you have to work to pay for that item. So for instance, you get paid $25 an hour and want a lovely $120 dress...you’d have to work almost five hours to pay for it. That always helps me decide whether it’s worth it or not. Especially because mostly my shifts are five hours long.

[@alyssamakeseverything]

I LOVE thinking about it that way! Such a great idea.

[@kathyambros]

So satisfying!! Beautiful handwriting!! 😍

[@elizabethdahl2372]

I adored this layout. Thanks for sharing!

[@mimicupcakeable]

I also just finally took the plunge into bullet journaling. I’ve been wanting for years so I’m glad I finally am!

[@alyssamakeseverything]

So awesome! I hope you love it!

[@mimicupcakeable]

So far I am! I hope it’s something we can keep up with this year (:

[@angiel2911]

I love the simplicity and creativeness of this kind of journal! I've always been one to start a planner and forget it a week later. But this was very inspiring ☺

[@TheAristoKrat17]

My issue with mood trackers was I could color code but there was no way I’d remember specifically why I felt that way if I were to look back. I love that you have allowed space to jot down quick notes detailing your mood. Will def have to try that!

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Yes, I agree! 😊 I'm glad you like my way of doing it!

[@experiencelifelittleone]

I like your spreads! It's nice and simple

[@LifeWithAshaAse]

I just started putting my Bujo yesterday after months of binge watching videos. Yours looks a lot better than mine! But I thank you for making this video. Drawing isn’t my strong suite and I’m new to hand lettering. But I’m learning and I plan on getting better. Love your bullet journal!

[@ashleybass4907]

I was waiting all morning for this! ❤️

[@JustJaymee]

I’m bullet journaling for the first time in 2019 I’m very excited, I’m using the periwinkle A5 dotted notebook from scribbles that matter 💙

[@MamaRomm]

This is awesome! I was getting into the bullet journal and remembered your calligraphy video and I was like..... she should so get into bullet journaling..... and here you are! Whoohooo 🤙🏽

[@SarahLuteran]

I have been bullet journaling for two years but almost all of the big bullet journaling youtubers don’t do any budgeting. I started following you a few months ago when I started looking into Dave Ramsey method. I love that you are now combing what I have been doing myself and I can see your perspective on it too. Budgeting and money tracking is a love of mine so I am so excited for these upcoming videos😊

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Thank you!! I love combining the two ❤️ I'll definitely keep making them!

[@sydneeandress8847]

It looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for you to start filling it in!

[@myworld4now0]

I’ve never heard of this before but I love this idea so much! I just had a baby 2 months ago and we’ll be hitting so many milestones this next year that it would be amazing to have something to keep track of them all

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Yes, absolutely!! I think that would be great 😊

[@ashaloo23]

I love your videos! I always look forward to them. My fiancé and I started cash envelopes to work down our debt because of you ☺️ also Flagstaff is beautiful! I moved to Salt Lake from there. Make sure you visit Slide Rock near Sedona if you go during the summer.

[@alyssamakeseverything]

I went to Flagstaff a few years ago and it was so gorgeous! I remember there were so many deer! I'd love to visit Sedona too 😊 Thanks for the suggestions!

[@cecileganel]

I started a Leuchtturm1917 A5 bullet journal in April of this year. I also use sharpie fineliners and staedtler fineliners. I use crayolas and zebra midliners to add color. In the beginning I went a little crazy with washi and stickers. But after a few months I rarely use it and I’m on a BuJo supply no buy. My BuJo has quickly turned into my favorite thing in the world. Honestly it’s my life. I’m in month 8 and 150/249 pages and November is my favorite spread thus far after a unsuccessful October. I think my favorite thing about bullet journals is that they replace all other journals, planners and notebooks. It’s a one stop organization shop! I have tried **several** different BuJo styles. And a more traditional style with a yearly future log and monthly log then just dailies that I do preplan work best for me. I would say 9/10 of my collections have been abandoned at this point. My only used ones are a movie tracker for theatre movies, savings and debt pay off tracker, and my running shoes tracker where I record the miles on each of my shoes. Otherwise I just brain dump and try to keep important to me things in my BuJo. Loved the bill tracker! I do my monthly budget in my monthly spread, but I love having a central location for bills because I forget my do dates too! I also have a wishlist and I write the date next to the new entry. I’d say 95% of my wants I don’t want anymore within 6 weeks. I start my weeks on Monday too. They make more sense to me like that. I’m so excited that you’re joining the Bullet journal community. You’ve been a great inspo for my debt payoff and I know if you’re willing to share some of your more monthly stuff that your journal with be great inspiration too!

[@bougiebaby985]

Alyssa says get a buju journal you get a buju journal. GOSH Alyssaaaaaaaa I love you so much !

[@elizabethsalazar9775]

I put post it’s in the back of my bujo as well lol

[@stephaniecunningham7265]

I started a bullet journal to . Very good idea. . Love your videos.

[@lisaheffley7134]

This was great. Can’t wait to see more

[@lucija7708]

love your writing! also week start on monday in europe (i thought it does everywhere) but now i figured out why i always check the wrong dates when using us apps (':

[@Chronically.sarahdayton]

I usually use pencil, then the marker, then put the pen over it. Some pens bleed really bad (like your retractable pen), but the tombow ones don’t bleed as bad as the microns can. Faber Castell is good too.

[@S.Nicole]

Love it! Really needed this today! This is amazing Alyssa! I have never heard of this before. I honestly just grabbed a notebook and started! I love the dream page the most 😃

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Yay! I'm so glad!! I hope you love it 😊

[@Marb6]

Love your bullet journal setup

[@lauren_has_hobbies1408]

Alyssa! You did such a great job!!! I love bullet journaling and making videos! It’s my way to escape lol.

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@experiencelifelittleone]

You should do more bullet journal videos :)

[@seriela]

My favorite bujo channels are The Bullet Journal channel, Boho Berry (of course), Sunshine and Stationery, Between the Steps, Pretty Prints and Paper and the awesome and uncensored Cindy of #llamaslovelettering. I appreciate Ryder's new book keeping it simple. Again.

[@xenaemeterio6755]

How do you write so goooood!?!? Lol I can’t do it for the life of me 😂😂

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Honestly, tons and tons of practice! My handwriting a few years ago looked very different!

[@xenaemeterio6755]

Alyssa Herbert I love your videos💕💕 they’re so relaxing, I can’t wait for your up coming content with the bullet journaling 😃😃😃

[@DeniseDivesIn]

I love planningwithkay bullet journal channel. Her videos are soothing lol! I loved the video! I’m not brave enough to bullet journal! Haha

[@tinyskadancer]

Your handwriting is amazing!!! ❤️❤️

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Thanks girly! 😊

[@celinesanchez7651]

I love this so much, I hope you get to finish it 😭

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Thank you! Me too! I think it'll be so awesome to have one completely full!

[@kidkapital]

Yaasssss.. Salt Lake City in the house!

[@Practice_Kindness-1st]

Your journal is looking very nice! I still have mine from years back and it brings a smile to my face to see my accomplishments in different aspects of my life. Michael's sells erasable highlighters if you're interested. Trust me, they come in really handy when you realize you highlighted the wrong thing! It's called Remove by Frixion made by Pilot. Side question: will your car insurance go lower once you reach 25 y.o.?

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Oh wow! Erasable highlighters! What a time to be alive 😂 Thanks for letting me know! I'm not too sure about the insurance, but I sure wouldn't complain about that!

[@brooknst96]

First time ever hearing about bullet journaling. It’s great if it works for you, but it looks terrifying to me lol. My OCD was quaking with anxiety. Looking forward to seeing how it works for you and maybe doing some more research on how it works in general.

[@lil.makkie]

Im super excited to start a bullet journal for 2019 but I'm worried that I wont have enough pages for the whole year

[@alyssamakeseverything]

I'm probably not going to have enough. But that's okay! I'll probably have two journals for 2019.

[@lil.makkie]

@@alyssamakeseverything when I did the math (if i did a page for one week, conbined with calender spread, etc) i think a journal with 200+ pages should be good? This is my first time trying so I'm hoping to get it set up for January ^^ your video was incredibly helpful, I love your style of spread. ❤

[@sarah.7437]

What do you plan to do in Salt Lake City? I live about 40 min north of SLC!

[@coollikeday]

I tried bullet journaling and found that making all of the pages was so time consuming and it was super discouraging. I did the year at a glance like yours and that was the end of that haha! Are you still planning to use the happy planner or is this going to replace that?

[@alyssamakeseverything]

This will replace any other planner 😊 I've found bullet journaling too time consuming in the past too which is why I'm trying to make this just super simple and not worry too much about it being the MOST gorgeous bullet journal I've ever seen!

[@abzster]

@@alyssamakeseverything Did you think of maybe trying bullet journaling in a dot grid happy notes notebook? I think the idea of moving the pages around as needed could help in organizing sections

[@alyssamakeseverything]

@@abzster I've seen people do that too! Maybe that's something I'll try at some point but for right now I want to try bound bullet journaling 😊

[@y.sangare1238]

Scribbles That Matter do a Bullet Planner. It is B5 sized like the journal shown in the video. Everything is already printed out but undated. I started with it into Bullet Journaling and I love it to bits. I am not too fond of embellishing so the whole setup of a bujo would be a chore for me. The Bullet planner took care of this. There even are large habit trackers and about a dozen empty pages, too. Please take a look at it, it is awesome!

[@jennimonroy7227]

wowww, i admire this. how long did it take to fill all that in ?! my creativity would leave me with a bunch of empty pages.

[@alyssamakeseverything]

It took me quite a few hours to be honest 😂 Which is why I didn't film it!

[@CactiGirl]

I love this! I’ve been bullet journaling for a couple years now, and I noticed that I was getting too caught up in trying to make it perfect, instead of just doing what works for me. I love some of your spread ideas! What is the Polaroid camera you use? I love the idea of including a photo a month, but I’ve never been sure of the quality of those Polaroid cameras.

[@alyssamakeseverything]

I have a Fujifilm Instax Mini 90! So not actually Polaroid brand 😊 I really love it! It gives you more control than just the basic instax camera, but I really like both!

[@TsumTsumMommy]

I love this!!

[@kateahlee8274]

So cool! i love it💕

[@Neverlandishome]

I live by salt lake City!! It would be so cool to meet 😀

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Totally! When we go I'm sure we'll need someone to show us around 😊

[@letyv4444]

I love it!! ❤️❤️

[@heatherbogle2003]

Ive been waiting for this since last night! Thank you for your awesome examples and walk throughs. They have helped me so much on my budgeting journey.

[@alyssamakeseverything]

I'm so glad they help you! 😊

[@MaddieCupcakes]

Love the video 💕💕

[@bolieee7256]

can i ask, what is the font from your intro? :)

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Elijah Chiu it’s my handwriting 😊

[@ruthmacias]

Is it ok to store markers in that position? I feel that if I store them like that they'll stop working... Does anyone know?

[@alyssamakeseverything]

I've never had an issue with it! I'm assuming as long as you have the cap on tight it shouldn't matter, but I'll let you know if that happens!

[@savanah_lopez]

i would literally pay you to make me a planner 😂 i just dont have time to make each month accordingly...so discouraging

[@oliviam5948]

How did you learn to do calligraphy?

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Lots and lots of youtube videos watching people do it! And I also followed a bunch of calligraphy pages on instagram and just practiced a ton!

[@oliviam5948]

Alyssa Herbert do you have any recommendations for videos and pages to follow?

[@alyssamakeseverything]

I looked a lot at the "ipadcalligraphy" page on instagram because I learned a lot of lettering on my iPad Pro as well 😊

[@neeravbiyani3030]

You should come to India in Diwali season next time

[@melodiev9253]

You can check out Cindy Guentert-Baldo KZbin channel. She does bullet journaling.

[@dabnailz5805]

You should switch to tidal. I'm just saying. It's 10 dollars for unlimited streaming

[@alyssamakeseverything]

Spotify is $5 for unlimited streaming.
