Last year I started tracking my bullet journal set up and then promptly ran out of steam in posting. This year, I started my planning a month earlier and took the time to get the right supplies ordered and plan out my pages.
Bullet journals are created in dot matrix notebooks and can be anywhere from simple task lists to full on artistic creations. Mine falls somewhere in the middle with a love for clean gridlines and consistent headers mixed with washi paper, PET tape and colorful pens. This year I’m using a Walmart brand Exceed notebook – which is unfortunately discontinued.
In an effort to share my whole journal without missing a day, I’ll post one type of page every weekday until they’re done, starting with this post.
As I’ve been designing my pages, I’ve noticed that everything starts out very stark, boring, black and white. I do like colorful pages but find it more interesting to fill in the pages daily with pens and stickers to bring it to life. In sharing my blank pages, as much as possible I try to give examples of finished pages for reference.
While I will be tracking my weekly goals, tasks and daily plans in another journal, I’ve spent the majority of my time setting up a 2026 Collections Journal, a place where I am tracking year long project, habits and goals. Here are the pages I am sharing:
