Plan With Me May | Bullet Journal

[@mimitee2321]

My favorite thing about May is that creative burst of energy I get seeing the florals, pastels, and colors. New leaves, buds, and baby birds everything feels renewed and doable.

[@Phyllis8940]

What do I love about paper planning? It is such an history of my life. Find myself going back through my planners and events come rushing back - both good and, well, not so good!!! Love your videos and your writing!!! Thanks for sharing your gift with us!

[@amytangerine]

Yes yes yes!

[@FlyGirlKaren]

I love how colorful your pages have become. They looked good in the grays and blacks but they look fabulous with the addition of all the colors!

[@BunnyBirdyGator]

Hi Amy!! I really love seeing you put together your bullet journal and decorate it with all the cute stickers.... oh, I see a cactus!!!😍🌵May has been beautiful so far, I love seeing everything bloom and come to life again!! Spring has to be the most hopeful season!! Hugs!!🐰🐥🐊

[@retrowatermelon]

My favourite thing about May is probably the weather. It starts to get all summery and warm and all of the pretty flowers come out and it's just AMAZING.

[@jeannieleasa1579]

my favorite thing about may is the flowers along side the highway get even more beautiful. President Lyndon Johnson's wife Lady Bird Johnson loved flowers. She started a program where wildflower seeds were sewn alongside the highways here in Texas and we still enjoy her efforts now.

[@dawnmcf]

May always means warmer weather is on the way and colors galore will be popping up all over the place. Thank you for sharing your planning ideas. I love watching them.

[@kimberlyburrell9119]

My favorite thing about May is being able to get outside more, doing more, feeling more energized and getting things done in the garden! I love to plan on paper because it is so portable...the analog way of planning works best for me because I like that it allows me to see the big picture and to keep track of details efficiently in one spot! Thanks for another great video!

[@Nisa_Shini]

Just started bullet journaling last month and being someone who's always been all about planners, I loooove the bullet journal system and how customizable it is. It just lets my creativity come out.

[@chrissylynnplans6339]

My favorite thing about May here is Washington state is the rain comes less and the sun comes out more. More fun outdoor days.

[@debrakinder9871]

I like that you change up colors so often even on the same page. I love color and enjoy it in all forms ad all over! I've never done a bujo, but its very tempting because of the flexibility of it. I tend to use a standard calendar from one of the well-known vendors, but its a little confining. Love the page where you write down things Jack says. we think we will remember things our kids do and say, but there is absolutely too much to remember it all. LOve your vlogs, travels and book. Thank you for all you do.

[@Gabriela_Blank]

I just love seeing all the sprouting flowers in May. Especially after getting so much rain ☔️ .... I just love the changing seasons !!

[@learhea]

My favorite thing about May is the weather. It's getting warmer and sunny.

[@ToriTried]

Planning on paper brings intentionality to what I do every day, which has the bonus effect of helping me remember more! I love how you aren't afraid to free hand things and experiment in your journal! It's refreshing to see your style.

[@austinblock4756]

My favorite thing about May is watching all the flowers and plats come alive again after winter. By the end of May all the plants will be in and looking beautiful. Love watching you plan Amy. TFS! Amanda

[@terryannanderson8812]

Thanks for sharing your planning for May. I think it's good for everyone to see not all lines are straight. My favorite thing about May is planting the garden and the flowers in bloom.

[@dinnadiaz6959]

I love May because in NYC it means the roses are blooming and the warm weather is coming! I get it when you want to use color or keep the monochromatic tone with the grays in your bullet journal. I also love that you keep it simple and just do what works for you. You've made this really easy and fun for me - thanks so much and keep the videos coming!

[@cherry59belle]

I love how flower gardens are blooming with color here in the Midwest in May

[@ashleyrash1800]

Hi Amy! I love how the warmer weather in May melts away all the cold winter blues. I've thought about getting back into a bullet journal for the customization ability; watching your videos makes me want to switch even more.

[@nekiyel]

My favorite part of may is all the preparation for my daughter's school. I also love how your may calendar turned out awesome even without using ruler. I'm a baker and measurements mean a lot to me but your video makes me want to just let my hands do the work and not worry about proportions to make it more personal 😍 Thank you for making wonderful videos all the time.

[@animepix12]

My favorite thing about may is the temperature. I live in Texas so good weather is hard to come by. But while may is warm, it hasn't started that intense summer heat yet

[@amandagray825]

I love the daily practice of paper planning. It forces me to be intentional with my time and I have found that it has made our daily life much less frantic. When I was using calendars on my phone, I would definitely over-schedule. It just seems easier now to actually see each day and to really evaluate each task, appointment and event.

[@allisonmartin8577]

The best thing about May is the change of seasons. I love the colors of the blooming flowers and the trees becoming green. colors make me happy. I also like the warmer weather.

[@happyhealthyliving8069]

May is an extra special month in Edmonton, especially this year with spring being so late. A burst of green, buds, and blooms has brought so much joy. May brings spring and colour.

[@Mortalita]

I love your lettering so much! I haven't gotten any brush pens yet, but I've been dreaming about it! I feel you on the stickers, I am getting better on using them more instead of waiting for the 'perfect' moment. That perfect moment is now!! I've really enjoyed watching you grow into your bullet journal, it's really inspiring! My favorite May memory was getting to spend time with my mom and my two self-adopted moms, all on the same day!

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

My favorite time in May is split between my birthday and Mother's Day. It's so nice to see my kids getting older and realizing how much I've given up to make sure they always had everything they needed. I think I need to get better at using stickers in my planning because they are so happy. I currently haven't added many to my supplies and would love the chance to give my planner a pep up! I hope your month wasn't too busy and you had time to enjoy Mother's Day yourself! Thanks for sharing

[@tinabrown6892]

My favorite part of May is seeing sunshine, the flowers blooming and trees putting on their leaves.

[@jaey0ungp]

My favorite thing about May is the temperatures warming up! Also I love that sunsets in May are so much prettier than those winter ones

[@Dani31988]

My favorite thing about May is celebrating my husband's birthday! All year long he puts the focus on everyone else so it's nice to be able to let him be in the spotlight and to have everyone celebrate him!

[@taimdala]

I love May because where I live, it's Spring's last hurrah. The birds are still singing like crazy, the rain is still pleasant and gentle, and the cool days are like little treasures to remember when it's hot and humid and sticky during the summer.

[@anahumbert1397]

I have just come across your channel and I'm so excited to try to start my own bullet journal! Planning on paper vs. taking notes on my phone and trying to make sense of them means I can have some time to myself each day to express myself whilst also getting my ideas and appointments on paper. It also seems like a way to make each morning a bit better when you open your journal and see what you have planned out for the day!

[@samanthacarraro8075]

Favourite things about May: the days are warmer, the flower are blooming and the colours just seem more vivid and beautiful. Favourite thing about planning on paper: be able to take some time for myself away from stress and problems and then being able to look back to all the memories I created with the people I love Thank you for your videos Amy! xx

[@MsIslandV]

Love your bullet journal Amy! I hope to try this format soon! There are SO MANY planner options!! Many I like! I becomes overwhelming at times! My favorite thing about May is the changes in the weather and the blooming of the flowers...though this May has brought strange weather in the DC area....lots of rain and HOT and COLD! The poor plants are confused!! And I hate having to go back and forth between the A/C and the Heat in my place! I need Mother Nature to stop throwing her tantrum already! lol

[@hides0817]

I'm in Colorado and May has all four seasons sometimes all in one day and I love it. We just had hail and wind yesterday and now we are back in the 70s, love that I can take my boys out almost everyday to enjoy what God has created for all of us. May is my favorite month!!! Thanks for always inspiring and doing these giveaways, I'm about to start my first bullet journal and your stickers will be such a creative outlet!!

[@sarahtoward3343]

May is my first month using a Bullet Journal, and I'm loving it. My favourite thing is definitely the freedom that it gives me. If I want intricately designed pages I can, if I wanna scribble stuff down I can, it's great. Fab video Amy, thanks for the inspiration for starting a Bullet Journal. 😁😄😀

[@Hexelixe]

Hello Amy! I love your videos so much :-). It's really wonderful how approachable and real you are on them. I have tried the Bullet Journals before, but I had to capitulate once I realized they were not for me. The two things that set it back for me were that I had to write every day, every date, all those small details, and then that planning ahead wasn't really easy. I do plan on paper, but I use a Filofax. I started on a Personal Size, but this year I "graduated" to an A5 Malden and I am totally in love with it. But I'm preaching here to he choir, don't I? I use my filofax with colored pilot frixion pens, AND have imported the idea of the lists into my planning. So, for each daily slot I reserve the left side with the hours for appointments, and on the right side I put my lists and tasks. This allows me to future plan, takes away the need to write and plan every daily layout, and I can even plan ahead, in color and full detail the tasks for days and weeks ahead. And all my other notes and tracks go in separate segments, with dividers, loads of flags, post-its and you-name-it. Even my ink and fountain pen tests go in there! And I can even keep paper samples to try out different paper qualities and how my pages react to that.

[@laurkappauf6150]

May is the month my wings come back out. It has been a rather long winter here in the PNW, yet this month we finally get outside, air out the house, garden and just stretch and reclaim the beauty of the outside again. Peace

[@cindyborcherding8927]

Lol Amy... you werent going to try and pronounce my last name? HAHA!! So excited to be last month's winner (I did email you)! Thanks Amy for another great video. Love the contrast of the grey some months and then color. I really like both!

[@KarenScraps]

Cindy Borcherding Congrats!!

[@angelicbeauty2695]

My favorite thing about May is theos the warm weather. I fond myself just sitting outisde enjoying the weather and nature. The thing I like the most about planning is seeing my progress as a whole. This helps me see what I have accomplished in the previous weeks and months. It make SME feel good to writeon actual paper and I can also be artsy at the same time.

[@jvonathan]

My favorite thing about planning on paper is the ability for people I'm with to easily contribute to it. It's a great way to document and create a tangible memory at the same time.

[@onejournaltravel-Jeff_Pam]

I'm a huge fan of paper journals versus electronic! In the past my monthly calendar and journal have been very minimalist. Since I found your videos, i've begun to try to be much more creative with my journaling. I've discovered the magic of washi tape - - how did I not know about this before?? I've also purchased some stickers to see what I think and so far I love it!! With the change of seasons where I live, May is a perfect time to try something new! Thank you for all your inspiration!! - Pam

[@amytangerine]

welcome to the wonderful world of washi!!

[@michelleh.6363]

May to me is being able to be outside wether biking, gardening or just scrapping/journaling moments on the back porch in the fresh air!! Tfs your bullet set up. I love the free hand bullet calendar setup verses a planner set up, because you have more free space to journal or decorate...

[@SerasPop]

My favorite thing about May is that the temperature is perfect, the flowers are blooming, and summer is almost here! Loved this video Amy, your creativity is inspiring :-)

[@hhhhhhhh7739]

I love how you make it look so easy. I'm a collector and find it hard to start....thank you for your inspiration and crooked lines!

[@WilhelminaAnna]

Planning on paper gives me the overview that I need and love. In may my garden starts to bloom and waking up and that makes me joyful.

[@carolinemclaughlin4951]

Hi there! One thing I love about planning on paper is that it feels more real to me. I have anxiety, and one of the things that really bothers me is when I feel that I'm not properly prepared. But it's super reassuring to open up to my weekly spread and see everything I have to do, ready to be checked off and referenced as many times as I need. (And one thing I love about May is seeing my friend's honeybees buzzing about the neighboorhood enjoying all the flowers)

[@nicolejoylim1718]

My favorite thing about May is new life. Everyone's graduating, the flowers are blooming, summer is starting- it's a new beginning for everyone! This May is particularly special to me because I will be going on a trip to Grand Cayman, where my parents just moved. It has been 6 years since I last saw them in person, and not through a computer screen. I am beyond excited and your videos have inspired me to take a traveler's notebook to document my trip!

[@DreamVintagewithDJ]

My favorite thing about documenting on paper is getting to look back at the memories and share it with family and friends! I love the idea of having something concrete to pass on which was made with love!

[@StudioBAS]

My favorite thing about May has been the awesome weather! Here in San Francisco we get beautiful weather in Spring, and then when summer comes the fog rolls in...so I'm enjoying it while it lasts! I loved the video, and I actually like how your monthly calendar looks! Its imperfect and I like it, no ruler needed :)

[@stephaniebouchard]

My favourite thing about May is the weather! I love the mild temperatures!

[@NrsgGal720]

My favorite part of May is gardening, I have a few plants that give off the most beautiful purple flowers this time of year.

My favorite thing with planning on paper is how personal it get. My planner is far from perfect but I couldn't do without it. The to do lists and stuff I planned but never did, they tell the story, just as much as the things I planned and did do. :)

[@lisaschicks651]

In Germany we have a lot of bank holidays in may that's what I love about this month & finally the weather is turning warm and sunny ☀️ lovely greetings

[@laurenrotarov4037]

My favorite thing about May is the warm weather and spending time gardening with my mom 🌷☺️

[@Craftyfan-ht2iz]

I love that spring,usually, finally decides to stick around. I love frixion markers because I screw something up it erases and I can try again.

[@bridgettodom1840]

Here in the south May is when summer starts. Hot days and cool evenings. The grill are out for cookouts. The beginning of outdoor living.

[@ILOLnumber1]

My absolute favourite thing about planning on paper, especially in my bujo, is that making my schedule as cute and fun as I want, alleviates a lot of the overwhelm from having a very busy life. Close second though, is the freedom to change things whenever and however I want.

[@desireewooldridge8944]

My favorite thing about May is a warm welcome to the green grass and all the beautiful flowers that start to bloom. Also it's Mother's Day...and as a mom it sure does make it extra special!!

[@mamaocillian]

I just bought by first set of Tombow brush markers. I haven't used them yet, so you are inspiring me to break them out and get started. I also bought a brush lettering book. Do you have any good resources for learning brush lettering? I love your style, Amy!

[@mamaocillian]

I hope it is!

[@amytangerine]

Yes, in the description box too: --- ONLINE BRUSH LETTERING WORKSHOP INFO--- bit.ly/CreativeLifeBrushLettering

[@pesto12601]

Oh COURSE she does... LOL.. or you can just watch any of the hundred thousand FREE videos online...

[@dawnmotakef3050]

Love the colors and "Jack said" page. That is so important b/c he will grow up so fast and you are going to adore those precious memories you recorded!

[@smileybusybee6189]

I love the way you use all different colours. I've just tried adding colours to my and it makes it such a fun thing to fill in the rather than the possibility of becoming a chore. Thank you for your videos.

[@fgcastro89]

I love May weather! I like that it's not too hot or chilly

[@bindiboo75]

May brings cooler weather and rain. I love this time of year (Autumn), as I live in country Victoria, Australia, it is a time of renewing and growth in the bush and pastures and I find myself inspired by nature as it changes around me. I also, of course, love May for Mother's Day! Thank you sooo much, Amy, for inspiring us and being such a generous soul

[@Jeannes1234]

Favorite thing about May is all the early perennials that my husband planted bloom and feel as though they are little gifts from him.❤️

[@toriswanson5451]

Warmer weather, flowers, and being outside are the things May brings! Yay for May!

[@sandiarnold6707]

I have about 20 to bow markers that I have used for several years. I see I need to add to my collection. For the last three years I have used purchased predates planners. I used 2 a year. One for work where I needed 2 pages per day 1 side with half hour time slots to schedule appointments and other side prority list. My personal I also included lots of inspirational messages. I used Sunday night as my personal planning time reflecting on the past week and planning the future week and month. I retiredi April and now only need 1 planner. yeah. I will finish this year with my existing but ex year hope to use the more creative planner. Loved your "Jack said". I'm hoping to add more of this type of list as well as more project planning in my future bullet journal.

[@sandrasagala612]

I love the way you do your bullet journal. It's so versatile and like me I always change my style so this one is perfect on whatever I feel for the month.

[@sandiewing2991]

love your calendar!!! I love May because the weather is not too hot, nor is it too cold. It's beautiful weather and beautiful days.

[@JDRUSSELL]

Favorite thing about May - at this halfway point in the month, it's all about evaluating what works for me and what I want to change for the second half of the year -- my birthday falls at the beginning of June, and that's when I choose something I want to change up or do differently. I'm not bullet journaling yet, and it's looking like that might be the thing I try next month!

[@KesleyAnderson]

I love flowers in May - it just makes me so happy to see all the color that pops outside my window. I also love May because I live next to a llama farm and the May weather is usually great for them to wander around their yard - they are so funny to watch and it makes me smile

[@XxSaranayxX]

My favorite thing about May are the flowers that are starting to bloom. It's so beautiful and relaxing to look at. They all just brighten up my day :)

[@BramblewoodCrafts]

I'm loving bullet journalling is that it fits in perfectly with my busy lifestyle as a mum of four. I have attempted project life and failed miserably, also attempted keeping a diary, but nothing inspired me to keep it up. with bullet journalling, i can incorporate my crafty side, stash and lifestyle and switch it up week on week as my mood alters!

[@janetmackay4470]

My favourite thing in May is the Victoria Day long weekend. It is the unofficial start of summer in Canada. We even have fireworks.

[@aldal490]

My favorite thing about planing on paper is that it allows me to take a few minutes to be creative. Thanks for always encouraging us to use our supplies ! 💜🌈🎨😘

[@bluucaca]

my favorite thing about May is all the flowers blooming and the sounds of birds in the morning when the sun is rising something about Spring is s intoxicanting . Love setting outside in the morning with my coffee and take it all in

[@tamingbubbles527]

My favorite thing about May is the blooming flowers leaves on trees fresh cut grass and sunshine. Thanks for posting another great video!

[@1uvkamzz]

My favorite thing about May is that's it's my Mother's birthday month and Mother's Day! I'm thankful & celebrate my mom everyday but I go all out this month to show her how much I love & appreciate her!

[@jessiewillett8541]

I'm glad I found your channel. I am tired of seeing all the super neat bullet journals, with soooo many collections which is really unrealistic. You did a completely different way of doing things, its really refreshing. This really shows you can be messy yet fun to bullet journal, and still practical. Thanks for sharing your bullet journal! P.S. You earned a new subscriber!

[@gsquared7899]

I prefer paper planning to electronic. Somehow I feel more in control putting pen to paper. Love your videos, especially the bullet journaling and traveler's notebook ones. I am on the verge of trying bullet journaling. Thought I would want a larger size notebook, but you seem to have plenty of room using the medium. Thanks again!

[@amytangerine]

Aww, thank you!

[@kierak5424]

I like using paper planners because writing important things down by hand helps me to remember them better. If I shove it into my phone, it won't stick as well, because not as much effort and concentration is going into it! Plus paper planners are much more pleasing to look at when they're all decorated, and I also find them easier to look back on than a digital one.

[@dee_ewell_pierce]

i've been a planner my whole life it seems. i find when I write things down the act of writing it down helps me to remember whether or not I look at it again. It's kind of like the act of writing a grocery list... you just remember more whether or not you remember to actually take the list to the store with you! Enjoy your videos Amy. I'm anxious for you to post the pen video! D

[@SpaceKitty87]

Planning on paper is beyond relaxing to me. It allows me to deal with my anxiety (mom brain going through lists. Constantly. ) and I get to be creative with all of my stickers, water colors, markers, stamps, etc... Some of my favorite little "me time" moments when I'm planning and doodling with my puppies at my feet and I'm surrounded by art supplies. 😊💜✌️

[@sophieharding809]

One of my favourite things about May is my birthday (which is today!) and with that being able to send homemade thank you cards to my lovely family and friends. A quote you brush lettered ages ago ("If you have the power to make someone happy, do it. The world needs more of that") is part of the reason I got into sending handmade cards because they can be so simple and quite therapeutic to make, and everyone is always so happy to receive them!!

[@juliechurches8768]

favorite thing about may is my humming birds are back! I just love to sit on my porch and watch them eat out of my feeders! I love Mays colorful spread you did!

[@TheBookTreeReads]

My favorite thing about May so far is the friendships that have really been becoming important this month. New people are constantly flowing into and out of my life, but some people have chosen to stay and I couldn't be happier to have them.

[@melissag5754]

I love May because all the flowers and colors start. When the big fields are covered in green or beautiful bunches of color!!

[@ruthr8959]

My favorite part of May is the Sunshine, it gets pretty gray in the northeast during the winter.

[@MissRuthina]

One of my favourite things about May is making the really dumb May the Fourth be with you. There's something great about pretending to be a Jedi with a lisp! But there's something so great about planning on paper! So much research saying note taking is more effective when you're writing it by hand. Well, planning by hand follows the same principals! And then making it into something you're passionate about on top of that means I find it so much easier to remember my life when it's on paper!

[@tianamustin368]

Best thing about May is my 8 year old has a special event he is so excited about & has been counting down to. It was the main reason he started his very own first planner & started attending planner meetups alongside me.

[@yramacarolinaalvarezaguila972]

I absolutely love how you planned May! Love the colors and how without planning or measuring too much (or at all...) you ended with a wonderfully harmonious result, what a source of inspiration you are!!

[@sshaconnollyfamily7611]

May is always exciting because it's brighter earlier and the weather is a bit more exciting and warming up in Washington State.

[@karithomason5924]

My favorite thing about May is school let's out, and our schedule frees up. I love that you are not a perfectionist, and you were willing to go with the flow. I admire that!!

[@amytangerine]

Congrats Kari, you are the winner - please email us your mailing address - hello(at)amytangerine(dot)com

[@karithomason5924]

Amy Tangerine I'm so excited!!!! I cannot believe I won!!!!! I just emailed my info!!!! Thank you sooooooo much!!!!

[@EmilyWeeda]

My favorite thing about May is that it's the last chance of cool weather before summer. Favorite thing about planning on paper is tricking my mind into thinking I'm organized haha

[@sabrinafioretti3724]

My favorite thing about May is that our garden starts to come to life!

[@funinpjs]

The best thing about working on paper is seeing what you created and being able to save what you created.

[@lebleuq]

My favorite things about May...flowers blooming, Mother's Day, nurses week, and longer days with cool evenings. 😍😍

[@lorianzaldo1041]

My favorite things about the month of May... Our Iris's and Lilliput's are blooming they are in an array of colors. My favorite one would be the lavender based one named " Victoria Falls " for my daughter is named Victoria. Then I like to be outside so were I live every year we have a spring fair we know it to be "May Days". They bring out the old fashioned may pole and all! Much love to you and yours, Lori.

[@MsCindyLady]

Love how colorful you made your spreads. My favorite thing about May is the extra love moms and godmothers receive this month. Knowing how Blessed we are to be moms, having mom's and women in our lives that are like mom's to some people. Also being a Mexicana, even though I'm an American at heart, we get celebrated twice. ;) So Happy Mother's Day!

[@cynthiaschwenk4568]

I love May for several reasons... Mother's Day, my birthday, and the world is alive again with all the colors of the rainbow! Trees have bright green leaves, beautiful flowers blooming, and the grass is beautiful and thick!

[@maleaann]

I actually *only* do a month at a glance. I do it like a list though with the days going down the left column and then three rows. First row is for work. Second row is for any appointments, and third row is anything else. I found that I don't need to keep track of daily tasks that much. I have two blank pages after my monthly view that I use for a brief budget overview and any notes, MITs, etc.
