Did anyone else start off the month with Earth, Wind & Fire's September or was that just me? 😂Finally inked up my beautiful limited edition TWSBI after all these months! Filled her up with the lovely Sheaffer Skrip Green 😍 #bulletjournal #bulletjournalheader #twsbi #notebooklove #leuchtturm1917

August's #BulletJournalMonthlyLog. I love creating timelines for the month! 😍😍😍😍😍 Such a fun way to see how the month went visually! Also love keeping my gratitude log right there so that all the lovely things are all at a glance! I printed out an itty bitty version of my square tracker design because I was so proud of finishing it and putting it up on my Etsy shop (@TinyRayofSunshineDesigns)! I'm excited to put up all sorts of fun things I've mentioned over time also, so make sure to follow along for sneak peeks over at @TinyRayofSunshineDesigns! I also celebrated 3 years of Bullet Journaling, which I honestly forgot over the years what day it was exactly that I began this lovely journey that has made such an incredible impact in my life. The pup turned 1 yesterday and I'm excited about a fresh new month! 😄💛☀️ P.S. I think I'll also make a fun spread of my Etsy designs so I can feel that awesome visual satisfaction of the labors of love I've shared 💛 #BulletJournal #TinyRayofSunshine #monthlytimeline

I've been enjoying this reading log, it's been motivating me to read my new book that I just started reading yesterday. I've had it for a little while, finally got into it yesterday and I'm stoked! I had envisioned making a spread with little book pages and making each one count as an increment of 10 pages so that every 10 pages I read, I can color in a square! I'm coloring with whatever mildliner color I feel like :) yay! I also have room for quotes and other fun stuff that may come to mind. I like this book so far, it's a little meta reading a book titled the book that matters most that's about being in a book club discussing the book that matters most to you 😊 Wanted to try a different style of reading log from others I've tried and I'm enjoying this so far! Almost about to color in the next block/mini page! 😊 #bookstagram #booklove #bulletjournal #tinyrayofsunshine #readinglog #booklog #annhood #BulletJournalCollection #BulletJournalBookLog #BulletJournalTracker

July's #BulletJournalMonthlyLog when I had first set it up. I made a simple vertical tracker with mini icons. The icons meant:
📖 = Read (For the love of words)
🖋 = Write (my thoughts on paper)
📙 = Check-in #1 (with my Bullet Journal)
✨ = Clean (helps mentally)
🚲 = Bike (fun activity)
☀️ = Meditate (for mental clarity)
❤️ = Gratitude (to keep sunshiney)
📘 = Check-in #2 (with my Bullet Journal)
💧 = Lotion (for my dry skin)
🌈 = Art (paint, draw, etc.) •
This is what I narrowed down to be the core things that help keep me centered and balanced each day. I wrote down memorable events that happened on the monthly list. Having the tracker next to the monthly list allowed me to see how well I kept up with things in contrast to what went on each day. I used simple checkmarks to check things off 😊 #BulletJournal #BulletJournalTracker #balance

I like this photo and thought I would share 😊👍 #fountainpenlove

June's #BulletJournalMonthlyLog in a monthly timeline and #BulletJournalGratitudeLog 😊💖 I added significant events in the timeline and updated the gratitude log on an ongoing basis as needed. #BulletJournal #gratitude #Leuchtturm1917 #timeline

Love my new @TWSBI eco(nomical) fountain pen! This shade of turquoise makes me smile 🤗☀️💖 The initial glob of ink is from not wiping off the nib entirely after filling it 😅 Writes like butta! I love it 💙 #TWSBI #journaling

Happy #BulletJournalDay! Today #BulletJournal turns 4! Four years ago my wonderful friend, Ryder @RyderCarroll took the brave step of sharing his lovely system with the world. •
It's wonderful to see such a lovely community grow and thrive thanks to a common interest that is everything that the Bullet Journal symbolizes. •
If you'd like to do something special to celebrate today, consider reaching out to Ryder with a post, snailmail, or a message about how the Bullet Journal has improved your life. I'm certain he'd absolutely love that! •
Today is a celebration of the system and the special person that has brought so much to all of our lives. Thank you, Ryder, for being the amazing person that you are 🤗📖💞🎉📚💖☀️

The other page from the spread I shared before with my adventures with meal prepping. The other page was full of thoughts I had about what I could toss in a salad. After that page, I looked around for some inspiration and found a lovely article named, "How to eat salad everyday and like it" by @barefeetkitchen that inspired this page of notes 😊 Her article along with conversations I've had with you lovelies about meal prep has been a wonderful treat and I am totally a huge fan of meal prepping now! Lunch was a breeze this week, scroll to see some salad photos 🤗💛💕 Now that I got try out meal prep with salads, I'm excited to try meal prep with dinners! If you have any dinners you meal prep, I would love to hear ideas! 🤗💞 #bulletjournal #mealprep #healthylife #sundaymealprep

Adventures with meal prepping, starting out simply with salads 😊 Excited to finish up meal planning, grocery shopping, and prepping for the week to help support my goals 🤗 On that note, what are your favorite go-to breakfasts? #BulletJournal #mealprep #foodislife #sundaymealprep

I couldn't resist grabbing this beautiful turquoise @TWSBI 580 AL Limited Edition fountain pen as soon as they announced it was on sale 😍 It's a beautiful ice-blue with subtle hints of turquoise. I got it with a stub nib this time because I've been wanting to try TWSBI's stub nib for a while now, so I'm excited! Now to figure out which ink to ink it up with 🤔😂 #twsbiholic #twsbi #twsbilove #stubnib #fountainpenlove

Made a color swatch log of my beautiful watercolor palette with a tiny drawn version of it in my #BulletJournal 😊 I made one log with saturated dots to see the intensity of the color and the other with fully painted squares to see more of the color variation. This will make it easier to grab the color I'm looking for when I'm watercoloring. 😌☀️ #watercolor #color

Here's an idea I'm excited to share that I call #visualgoals where you draw out images to help you visualize what you want to achieve. It's something I discovered to be highly effective to help me achieve things because I'm more likely to remember them when I draw them out. The image gets imprinted on my mind and it helps me work on achieving the goal and it's also pretty fun. 💖 Visual goals can be done yearly, bi-yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and in any time frame really. This method has helped me reach several yearly goals 😊 Here I'm sharing this week's visual goals. If you use this idea, please credit and tag me so I can see and cheer you on 😊 #tinyrayofsunshine #bulletjournal #bulletjournalcollection #bulletjournalgoalsetting

Every once in a while I try out a new #BulletJournalWeeklyLog. This week I made it simple with a 4-day view with the boxes at the top for my focus/theme/top 3 for the day, timeline to view my schedule, and the bottom is for tasks to get done over the course of the week. This will work alongside my Daily Logs, as this Weekly allows me to see what's coming up while the Daily lets me create a plan of action each day 😊 Photographed with my right hand in the photo because my left one is still healing from the bike accident from a couple of days ago. The good news is that my wounds are healing up nicely! Still sore, but grateful that I'm okay 💕 #BulletJournal #bulletjournalexperiment #bulletjournallove

Something I do from time to time is review my article workflow. Here, I'm just tossing down different parts of the experience. Will I turn this into something more visual or will I keep it simple? Who knows. Sometimes I simply brainstorm things first and then recreate them into something else to help me think through things. Wanted to share part of that process here with you 😊 Brainstorming the different parts and how they all work is helpful. There are certainly parts of this process that I lag on updating, it makes me consider hiring a personal assistant just to help me keep up with some of this stuff, anyone wanna help me out? 😅 Here I'm using one of my first favorite pens, a fine-tip Pilot Razor Point pen. I'm still in the baby BuJo, I considered moving into a bigger notebook, possibly the beautiful 100-year @Leuchtturm1917 as it's my birthday month so it seemed fitting, but then what would I do with the rest of the pages in this little? I already have a different notebook as my Bullet Journal Sidekick. So, I decided to keep going until it's complete 🤗💖 #BulletJournal #BabyBujo #BulletJournalLove #Leuchtturm1917 #PilotPens #BulletJournalCollection

Today's my birthday! 🤗🎉 Wow, haha, so I spent all day yesterday and all last night working on the hand-drawn Intention Wheel printable for my shop along with other shop doings to FINALLY open up my Etsy shop, @TinyRayOfSunshineDesigns, that I have been wanting to open up for a very, very long time because I couldn't bear the thought of starting another year of my life and still not have that open, so after I accomplished opening up shop (yay! 💖🎉), I took a little nap and woke up to so many lovely birthday wishes! I'm grateful to be alive and for your immense kindness! I'm so excited to see what this year brings! Thank you so much to a certain purple-haired someone who let everyone know it's my birthday, I'm joyful, grateful, and speechless 🤗💞 Emoji birthday cake for everyone! 🎂🎊🎉 #birthday #grateful

How do you feel? #journaling
