Fill a page with big, fluffy clouds. Whenever you wake up from interesting dreams, fill in clouds with the details.
This cute bullet journal idea is a classic. Draw a bookshelf and write the names of your “to be read” books on the spines of the many tomes. As you read them, color the books in.
Draw a quote that’s meaningful to you and highlight the words you find impactful with an extra colorful or swirly font.
Fill in a page with doodles of stickers that are each filled with affirmations that are meaningful to you.
Turn each of your more complex to-dos into a devoted page of your bullet journal. Write out the sub-steps. Include a key for sub-steps that you’ve started but aren’t done yet. This helps you visualize progress in an improved way.
Instead of a to-do list, list out things you want to stop doing or “undo.” Pick an icon or symbol and draw as many in each row as you’ll permit yourself to do of these “undo” tasks before kicking them to the curb forever. Cross the icons out as you spend your permitted freebies, then go cold turkey once you’re out.
Fill two pages with outlines of polaroid-style photos. When something wonderful happens, write about it or depict it in one of the frames. You’ll finish with a collage of wonderful moments.
Create a bullet journal template for “daily delights,” or moments that make you especially happy. Draw little boxes for where, when, with whom, how happy you felt, and when it might happen again.
If you’re tracking your steps walked, for example, break your 3,000,000 annual goal into 10,000 chunks and draw footprints across two pages to represent them. Color in the footprints as you reach each new milestone. Don’t forget to doodle in some signage along the path to keep you motivated.
Maybe one month, all your pages will have drawings of mountains. Next month, it might be old movie theaters. Pick themes each month to doodle across the pages.
Draw a Pac-Man map with its dots and some cherries or other bonuses along the way. Put in as many dots as you have self-care projects you plan to do, or the days you plan to do them. Color them in as you complete your self-care calendar.
Draw all 12 months of the year in little calendars on a two-page spread. Mark each day that a birthday falls on with a color, then assign that color to a person in a key below each month.
Trace out the maps of the cities, states, or countries you want to travel to. Color them in as you make your trips a reality.
Include the shopping list, the ingredients with their measurements, the instructions, and even the nutrition information if you have it.
Use simple gratitude tracking to use your appreciation in conversations. Come out and say “thank you” to someone when they make it into your log. Include an additional page in your bullet journal to write about what happens when you do.
Draw out three columns for a monthly playlist. In one column, list the songs that define the previous month (under a “rewind” icon). In the next column, write a song that defines how you feel about everything right now (under a “play” icon). In the final column, list out the songs you hope will represent the coming month (under a “fast forward” icon).
