New Year and January Bullet Journal Layout

Happy New Year!
I am a minimalist wannabe who stuffs my 'piles' in the master bedroom when people are supposed to come to my house. I am so organized with my calendar that I am always two days late to return books to the Library, and I always start projects, blog posts, books, workout plans, (okay, you get the picture) and I never complete them. Like most people, come January, I plan to be a new person! I have low expectations for myself, so I thought I would try to give myself a hand...I started a bullet journal! I actually started in December to make sure it was something that would be truly helpful.

What is a bullet journal?
It's like a planner that is completely customize-able by you. It truly caters to your needs, because you are the one designing it. You can let your creative juices flow, or keep it simple. I like that it's an outlet for my more artsy side, but it's not a requirement.  I'll post pictures of mine and hopefully it will serve as an inspiration for you!

For my year layout, I started with an overview of the year, with important dates.

I then started on some goals I have for the year. I made fillable and check-off pages, because for some weird reason, it motivates me, and you do whatever works! I then put a page of just overview goals that I have for myself. 

You will notice that this is not all perfect. I am not a perfectionist. I'm sorry if it makes you cringe, but I was too lazy to do it first in pencil and then in pen. (Just being honest, here)

I love, love this page! I left an empty spot for a goal I have later, or one I forgot. I used this Instagram picture for my inspiration.

Now for January! I decided to go with 'Frozen' as my theme. I looked up this layout on Pinterest, so it's not super original.  You can do anything here. You can do word art, geometric shapes, water color, or just leave it clean and simple. 

I then went on to do a January overview, and a habit tracker. Again, not perfect.at.all. 

A habit tracker does what it sounds like. It lets you see how many times in any given month, you do the things you want to do. 

 Couldn't resist this quote on my meal planning page. This one is probably my favorite layouts, because not only do I plan out what I need to make for the week, but it makes sure I don't make the same meal too many times. Your family will thank you!

 Another imperfect page, but I hope it helps me declutter the Kitchen....I'll update you if it helps!

The next pages are my weekly layouts. You put your 'to-dos', or anything that helps you be productive that day. 

 And there you go! I hope this has given you inspiration to start your own, and become more organized in the new year. Let me know if you bullet journal, and what layouts are your favorite.
