Step 1: Sketch out a rough draft of your design

Step 2: Count out the dots/lines that you’ll need for each section

Now that I’ve done my sketch, I know I’m going to want 3 columns and a little header at the top.

Step 3: Divide your page into sections

Don’t forget about the headers, and use your highlighters to add colour to them. And remember, if you make a mistake in bullet journaling, white out is your best friend!

Step 4: Label your sections

I do the first letter of the week on each one.

Step 5: Add the months and a floral doodle

Step 6: Create a yearly log

At a glance, you can start filling in any appointments you know you may have.


And that’s a wrap!

As I mentioned, I am giving away this brand new Archer & Olive journal.
