January 2020 Bullet Journal Spread
Jumping right in to 2020, we’re starting off with a fresh spread for January. Its simple, minimal and incorporates mindful practices to get through the cold winter season.

I wanted to make sure that January’s spread incorporated some type of greenery as a reminder that beneath all the ice and snow there is still life and growth just beneath the surface. I got this cover page idea from a photo I saw on Pinterest. I added a paper bag throughout this spread to add some colour.
For my monthly calendar, I wanted to keep it simple as always. I went back to my two-page spread and on the right hand side I jot down my goals, YouTube benchmarks, and my do list.
Next we have our moon journal. This is a neat way to track the progress of whatever goal you set for the month as you can see it visually represented. The moon has its phases that personally I find influences my mood and habits so its nice to have these reminders. I typically do some sort of “shadow work,” tarot reading or meditation before writing on this page. Below of course I have my monthly tarot as an overview of the month.
On the right hand side of course i have my habit tracker.
On this page I have a quick view of my monthly content planning. It is separated by all the categories of blog posts, YouTube videos and IG TV ideas I have for the month. On the right side I have a quote as a little reminder for motivation.
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference, that you have lived and lived well.”
My weekly spread look similar to the first page as I personally finish them all in one setting rather than weekly (ain’t nobody got time to sit down on a weekly basis!) On this page I typically write my daily tarot, quick to-do’s as well as my sleep tracker in the grid.
This year I wanted to incorporate a monthly Reflections page, to help with my mindfulness goal for the year. Just taking the time to think about how the month past impacted my life, what I enjoyed and what I want to change.
