uuuuugh, i love your stripped back, more abstract themes like this. it's so simple and elegant, and also truly beginner friendly if they want to make it more artsy but still very much achievable. i set up my bujo six months at a time, but this year i got a bit excited and already have up until september done hehe, and i totally took inspiration from your last yearly setup for my june next year. may i ask if the serif font you use is based on a downloadable font? it's lovely!

[@trash-goblin]

you set your bujo up 6 months at a time?? holy crap i could never

[@lorilucena9764]

@@trash-goblin yeah haha i have trouble making time when i'm in the middle of my busy routine, so at this time of year, when things are a bit more chill, i just sit down and draw for a couple of hours at a time. i'll do it again when i hit my mid-year break. doing it like this has helped me be more consistent with the bujo!! all about figuring out what works best for u!

[@trash-goblin]

@@lorilucena9764 that's actually a super smart idea, i'll try to do that for 2022!!

[@kerpat]

I also want to know about this font!!!

[@lorilucena9764]

@@kerpat she answered me in another comment!! the font is called fredericka the great!

[@yaeledmonds5158]

I'm a week-by-week planner (I create monthly spreads as part of my weekly planning). I admire your ability to plan an entire month in advance!

[@TemiDansoArt]

Another wonderful setup!😍😍😍

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you, Temi! ❤️❤️

[@MaryHenriques]

I bought this exact same journal last week! 💚 Archer and Olive journals never disappoint!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw yay! It never gets old seeing people using journals I designed 😭❤️

[@love_anneliese]

I started bullet journaling a few years ago. At first, I hate myself for not having the talent to draw and make beautiful spreads. Now, my drawing skills are still bad but I found ways to make my spreads beautiful and neat even without amazing drawing skills. Most importantly, I create my own system using my all-in-one bullet journal where I keep track of my study goals, work goals, content creating goals, etc. I realised that my bullet journal doesn’t need to look like other’s bullet journal in order to be useful or functional. As long as it serve my need to keep my entire life organised, it is a wonderful bullet journal.

[@raneesamaniego8080]

Beautiful! This gets me so excited to set up my bujo! And I’m using the linen Olive Branch journal! Also, do help with the bleeding of your pens underneath the ruler- just flip your ruler the other way so that it’s “upside down.” You can still effectively draw straight lines, but the edges of the ruler won’t touch your ink.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Yes I realized that about halfway through setting up these spreads haha I seem to forget between every time I use it 😂 Oo we’re almost bujo twins!

[@charlottelouise7270]

as someone who struggles with mental health i really love making a year in pixels type of spread where i colour code my days depending on the severity of my mental health disorders. this really helps me keep track of everything and notice patterns in behaviour! i also agree that a period tracker is a must have, super helpful and helps me with health issues. loved this video so much

[@anniegthepack5095]

I would love a dedicated video on the period tracker - I set one up in my last journal and ended up abandoning it because I couldn't figure out how to track symptoms with it, and just reverted to using Clue.

[@TheKasiaLin]

I'm a month-by-months and within that week-by-week person because for some weeks I need more space and some less, that also helps me add a notes/planning spread whenever I need it (e.g., events, holidays, packing lists) as it happens

[@tobiasb1622]

thank you so much for your trans and other lgb+ friendly language in this video! I often feel out of place in these communities (journaling/bujo) as a transmasc person so I really appreciated hearing gender-neutral language. the small things really do count. your spreads look amazing and I'm so happy I clicked on this video because now I have some great spreads to add to my journal this year!

[@finalcrutches03]

I started bullet journaling this year, and I started off doing it month by month but wound up setting up the rest of the year one day when I was bored. I got another journal for 2022 way back in the summer and did my monthly spreads here and there. I finished setting it up today and it only takes up a third of this journal, so I guess I'm going to work on 2023 now😅I love your 2022 setup, great vid!

[@claudia1201]

Just love, LOVE your easy abstract artistic set ups. Last years sunrise and raindrops are my favorite

[@goddess_eve21]

I love the simplicity of this setup! And you’re right, the colors go so well together. Thank you for sharing this 🖤

[@ryanp2634]

I appreciate the inclusive language you use around your period tracker!! Your spreads look incredible :) Thank you for sharing!!

[@rafaelareis2701]

One of my favorites bullet journal setups ever. I love the colors, the fonts, the lines, everything looks so elegant and beautiful. Love it.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw thanks!

[@KMort]

Month by month for sure. Not just for convenience but cause it's a monthly habit that relaxes me and lets me sit down and go slow.

[@Maitesbujo]

Wow Elizabeth, this is just beautiful!! I love the purpose that you have set of creating a sort of series with your bullet journals. As you said, I love that you keep the old aesthetic of your previous bujo and how free it allows you to be using designs like this linear with blocks of green. I already said it but how beautiful the result is!!

[@SanjaL86]

I have been watching your videos and BUJO setups for a few years now and must say this one just speaks to my 🧡. Clean lines with squares, splashes of green and gold- pretty but feels achivable at the same time. Great job ☀️

[@lilyblair1158]

Love this green set up!! I always include a password log, bc I always reference my journal when I'm looking at bills! In 2022 I want to add a cleaning schedule to my overview to keep better on top of my house!

[@TanyaKlein29]

I'm obsessed with this coloring and simple design

[@ghiblies]

The two greens with the gold are divine, and I also love the music in this video! It reminds me of the music from the teamLab Borderless exhibition, just makes me feel so at peace 😌

[@fallen_melodia]

I just started bullet journaling and as an artist, I'm mostly in it for the artistic aspect of it. One spread I do is a commissions spread where I can keep track of my clients and how much time I have left to finish their piece. Really great for keeping track of a small business

[@morgannewood]

Also, I think it’s so cool that you used shapes, because I’m just starting my first bujo and I get so overwhelmed by the beautiful spreads people make, but I’m just not at that level of drawing and I’m a perfectionist, so using shapes is such a cool and simple idea that looks so fancy! And thank you for showing how to do this!

[@chaosqueen01]

This is so beautiful! I love the colors, the fonts and how you combine the elements to a really elegant and useful planner. ❤️

[@bethanybeeston4963]

I love the fold out grid at the front so smart! Love love.

[@sarahh6401]

such a pretty set up!! I like to include what I call a "yearly dashboard" where I keep track of all of the books I've read, albums I've loved, trips I've taken (which have been lacking), new things I've tried, etc. throughout the year! hope you're well. :)

[@s.e.7895]

I love the way you edited out the rectangle fill-in clips to make it looks like you just “popped” in the colors. It’s an almost stop-motionesque touch, and it really adds charm to the video.

[@jillianhelding]

In my experience, your thirties are absolutely AMAZING compared to your twenties. You become much more grounded in yourself, your BS meter gets better (and your willingness to deal with it decreases dramatically), and life smooths out around the edges. I hope they're as transformative for you as they have been for me!

Love this set up so much! It definitely matches your previous journal well and looks like a set🧡💚!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you! 🤗❤️❤️

[@dilshaad_23]

I'm so glad this popped up on my feed! Thank you for this lovely and simplistic approach to BuJo. This will be my first year (2022) - recently discovered BuJo, and many of its elements I can relate to using for several years, albeit minus the extensive art/doodling many others use. Not that I've watched a wide range of creators that do BuJo content, but you are the first that mentions and uses a period tracker - yaay!! In my 30's, and that is something I've been tracking for over a decade now; agree on its benefits. I've often penciled things into my traditional annual planner for months in advance, so am trying the approach of setting up several months' worth in my BuJo.

[@Izzybell469]

I’m a month by month set up person also love the green of this journal. Always enjoy your videos your voice is very calming to hear when I do my journal

[@RangerRuby]

I love the continuity you added to your journals!

[@mirandaaralyn]

bujo videos are so comforting to me idk why 😭

[@vidhimehta3442]

The greens never get old🌿...this setup looks really beautiful

[@Jessi-sj3zx]

The way you fill in the letters with the black dashes. Brings those velvet color in posters to mind or that wallpaper. Basically it looks like a soft touchable velvet texture.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Ohhh I love that!

[@cambridge1960]

This is great! I love how 'simple' it seems but also decorative.

[@kelseyagibs]

Beautiful! I am working on minimizing my wardrobe so I have a wear counter, financial planning, fitness tracker and reading list at the start of each of my journals

[@muuskunen]

So satisfying to watch these spreads being created

[@arielderting2914]

This spread is gorgeous! I have been rewatching your 2021 set ups (both the evie and eara notebooks) because I love the set ups so much and wanted to create something similar in mine for this year and now I have even more inspo! Thanks for the great video!

[@dejahvulia9935]

Future log is essential! I also use an almost identical spread for accomplishments by month. Great for reflection and summarizing, I find it especially helpful during corporate review time or when I hit “lows” and need a reminder of things that have gone well each year.

[@SheMeetsPaper]

Loving your setup and the editing of this video. The way you tapped to color the squares was so satisfying.

[@tracymil1]

Magnifique! I love this set up Elizabeth. Your themes are always on point.

This was so wonderful to watch! I loved your 2021 setup and this is just as amazing. The abstract style makes it so easy to have a nice and coherent look and those greens together really are a chef's kiss! I'm about to start my 2022 setup so this was a lot of great inspo just in time.

[@olivia_vermast]

Gonna try to get into journaling and reading again next year, I haven’t read anything in 2021 cuz of my depressive episodes. I want to read at least ten books next year, to see if it will make me happy again. Thanks for always inspiring me, Elizabeth:)

[@emmiojaranta5679]

Your quote brought me so many memories as it is a line in Nickelback's Lullaby song. It is a song that I sing when I feel down or need to power through something hard. I always include index(if it doesn't include already in notebook), birthday log, calender and future log on my set ups and since last year July, also including productivity level tracker symbols.

[@pavloverboy]

I'm planning on starting my first bullet journal this year! This was so helpful, with lots of good ideas. I never would have thought to include a wish list

[@midlifemulligan6505]

Love this so much!💜 I have a Notebook Therapy book that I bought last Christmas for 2021... that didn't work out.🤨 So here I am again, trying to set up for 2022 and this setup is perfect. Thanks for sharing and wish me luck. 🤞

Beautiful setup, Elizabeth! Zamora is the name of a beautiful Spanish city so as you can imagine, me being Spanish, I love it even more! 😍😍😍😍 I wish you the best of years for 2022 for you and your loved ones! 🙏🏻😚

[@JessieStyles1]

I do year at a time because I have persistent depressive disorder, ptsd and anxiety, so I get in the dumps often and can’t do anything. Whenever I get bursts of inspiration and motivation, I’ll do as much as I can so all I have to do is just fill in and journal. I combine regular journaling with bullet journaling. Charts for the year and by the month and then just journaling pages for every day. I do the future logs and yearly charts, then break off to the months. For January I had a calendar set up and fill in as I go, and other stuff

[@jimmynoname336]

I just picked up my first journal and this is perfect it's really well done. Thank you!

[@latithelatte]

thank you for putting the key, i couldn't figure out a good clean and simple way to make the key

[@oliviacarpenter1922]

I usually add a goal page in my journal for things I want to accomplish :) I love your spreads there so simple but really artsy

[@sandyoppenlander]

I’m using that same journal for a special project I’m doing and I love it! I also got those same acrylographs and they are soooo fun and my fav colors! Love this setup!! 💕

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw yay, I’m so glad you like the colours!! 🥰

[@kellymccafferty550]

Just a small thing but watching you touch the middle of the squares/rectangles and them getting colored in was so satisfying

[@PlantBasedBride]

I thought that was more fun than watching me fill each in haha I’m glad you liked it!

[@Kdmud]

At first I was a little bummed that your spread was so simple, as the video played, I really saw the beauty and elegance in the clean lines and two color approach! So thank you for reminding this “more and more is better” BuJo journalist that simple is just as beautiful and really cleansing to the eye and spirit 🌺 as for spreads…I also add a monthly check-in spread where I take a quick overview of my goal, class, gratitude/emotional progress. This just gives me a nice cap on my month ( I just never seem to keep a tracker going for anything! ) and, it leads into a full 6 month spread where I take a deep dive into questions that wake me up to look at places where I need to get going or pull back, depending on the info and how I’m feeling at the 6m mark. I find monthly check-ins takes the pressure off the daily trackers, because I just forget about them! I do love your period tracker and if I still got a period, I think that would be the one I could keep…because it’s monthly??😃 As always, thanks for your wonderful videos…I have to say, I got a nice big BF haul of your journals and they are so lovely. Happy🪴🪴🪴mis!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw thank you! I like the idea of a check-in spread like this, I may need to incorporate something like this into my bullet journal!

wow loveeee this setup! i ended up doing a version of the circular setup in brown for my nara notebook and my future log is my favourite thing to show people when they ask about what bullet journalling is haha! now i can’t wait to do something more linear and angular for my sunrise notebook!!! 🤩

[@PlantBasedBride]

Ah yay so glad you like it! I love that these themes are so easy to do with any colour scheme ❤️

[@tonbonthemon]

Just started BuJoing and while I'm not creatively inclined with my hands or interested in getting pathologically obsessive with my BuJo, I found this inspiring and I want to maybe be a little more deliberate with how I design my second BuJo. Thanks for this!

Such a lovely setup... I did mine and want to do this one but its alright... Loved it its soooooo unique... Even my setup is in Green and Olive green shade...

[@staceysantos4564]

I honestly had no idea that some people set their entire year in advance. 😲 Hats off to you~ I find that really difficult because I shift from a bullet journal to a dated or undated planner sometimes when I get burned out. But if I do bullet journal, I set up a max of 4 weeks in advance.

Haha it’s all about the journey, right? 😅

[@rosalindagonzalez3684]

Omg yes! But you and your videos remind me that it’s okay to take it easy every once in awhile. It still ends up beautiful and serves it purpose. Thank you❤️

You did an amazing job, and i hope this bujo will brings you a lot of joy for the next six months!

Aw thank you! I’m always a little sad to say goodbye to a bullet journal but I’m very excited to hop into this one and fill its pages ❤️
