Bullet Journal: My August Set Up

August is almost here, and you know what that means? New Bullet Journal Set up! Even though I was away on holidays, I wanted to make sure I was ready for August, so I've created this set up since mid July! And finally I can share it with you ;)

I have changed some things around, and I'm trying out some new spreads for this month. But I still tried to keep it simple with the minimum page spreads.

I've decided to go back to my trusty calendar view of the month. I find that I like this spread better. I can see at a glance everything that's happening this month. And I really like my cherries ;)

The next thing I added is a new spread I'm trying out inspired by the lovely Ursala at @honeyrozes. It's a way to assess your life and plan your month. On the left-side page I rate 6 different areas of my life on a scale of 1-10: Relationships, Fun & Recreation, Health & Fitness, Spirituality, Work, and Creativity. Then in the 6 lists below I write down things I can do to improve those areas in my life. I really liked this idea. It keeps you focused and you take actual steps to improve those areas of your life.

On the next page, I added my general to-do list for the month. I also separated the month in weeks - like I did in July - but I chose a different way to portray them. (Check my July Set Up here). In this section I will spread all the things related to this month from my to-do list, my birthday/nameday calendar, my calendex, as well as my brain dump, along this 4 week period.

The next spread is the August Highlights spread, that I started in the previous month. This layout was inspired by @my.life.in.a.bullet . I decided to have the days vertically on the two pages, so that all the days fit, and kept a colourful theme.

I also left space for the #doodlewithusinaugust challenge, but I haven't created a banner yet, because I want to incorporate it in the drawing later. Are you taking part in the challenge?

This is my bullet journal set up for August. I'm really pleased with the way it looks and what I've included for this month, and I can't wait to start writing on these pages!

What new did you add in your August's Set Up?
