In this post, I want to share a list of ideas to help you move beyond basic bullet journaling and put your own individual stamp on your journal. I will start by sharing two of my favourite bullet journal page spreads in more detail, followed by a list of other ideas. Many of the lists I mentioned in this post on lists to make when you need a quick pick-me-up would also make great bullet journal page spreads.

Habit trackers

Each month I choose the habits and regular activities I want to focus on for the next 30 days and create a habit tracker for the month. Turning my notebook to landscape, I create a grid with the dates running horizontally and the habits vertically. Using a dotted notebook, this creates a natural grid where each habit intersects each day. Whenever I complete a habit, I shade in the relevant box.

This kind of tracker gives me a useful visual indicator of how I’m doing with each habit. Looking at the month, I can see which habits I’m racking up and which I need a little more attention (ahem, Spanish and meditation...).

Project pages

I use these pages for personal and professional projects and find them especially helpful for projects with many moving parts or a deadline. Like everything else in bullet journaling, they are customisable depending on what will be most useful for you: brainstorming, a visual timeline or chart, lists or check boxes.

Here’s are two examples of a personal and professional project page. This year, I'm doing a reading challenge and am using my bullet journal to keep track of books I'd like to read and books I've read. I also use my bullet journal to keep track of work projects, like the Patreon page I set up for Becoming Who You Are:
