How are we already in July? This year is flying by already and so many plans and goals have been rescheduled or changed. Although the past few months we have all been in lockdown I have tried to keep a schedule and routine as much as I can, so I have continued to use my monthly bullet journal spreads.
If you are thinking about using a bullet journal I have shared things you should know before you start your journal. If you are wanting to start with a simple design this spread or my June spread is an easy place to start. If you are looking for a more arty design to follow you can check out my May spread.
Last month I created a simple spread as I was asked by some of my readers for a spread that they could easily follow. It worked out really well as I was really busy and needed something quick and functional. I really enjoyed using a simpler spread it stopped me from procrastinating with filling in the designs.
I decided this month to include my habit and mood tracker on the same page in a different layout. In previous months I have put each tracker on a separate page, with some designs it works well but with the lockdown and plans are not as busy I want to save pages in my bullet journal. I love having all my habits on one page, it also reminds me to fill them all in at one time.
Habit trackers motivate and hold me accountable for those tasks. I complete habit trackers as part of my morning and evening routines. I have included mood and weather together and will join the dots each day with two different colours. I have shared all about habit trackers and the different layouts you can use.
I used the same layout for this page as my June spread because it is simple and I can quickly record the numbers. I like the list for each day because then I can compare my views and see where I can improve. Of course statistics are not always important because for me I like to track potential progress. I started last month including overall monthly check in, I can compare month by month which will be helpful if brands ask for my statistics.
I have recently started using these gratitude pages. I fill the previous day in as part of my morning routine. Including this practise in my morning routine means I start off my day on a positive note. I love how this looks, reflecting gratitude with the idea of a sun with the rays where I write what I am grateful for. I used flashes of yellow throughout some of the pages to add some colour. I definitely recommend starting a gratitude journal, showing gratitude can make your life a lot richer.
This is a different layout that I have done previously but I really like it. I am able to see days in advance all on one page. I definitely think this spread will help me when I am planning my week. I will be able to use this spread for all my to-do lists. Again using a spread like this will save pages, it also is really simple and easy to design. I highlighted the days of the week with the yellow to just add some colour.
Since having to start a new Instagram account I have been focusing on growing my account and posting consistently. I have been using an Instagram plan for the past few months and it has helped me plan my content in advance to ensure I always have content to post. I have really been enjoying sharing on Instagram, are we Instagram friends?
Have you started a bullet journal? If not, how do you plan your month?
great work 🙂
I really love how creatively you make journals, I wish I could do the same… But I am super lazy and not so creative person so I don’t make it. But this habit is so good to document everything.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
Great post! I love creativity of your bullet journal! This has inspired me to do a July bullet journal thank you!
That’s awesome! Enjoy!
Loving the gratitude page layout, and the weather and mood table as well! Very unique ideas!!♥️
Thank you very much.
I feel the same way, I have no idea how it is July already. You’re bujo looks stunning! I really like your mood and weather tracker combined, I know the weather affects my mood greatly.
Thank you! I want to see if they affect one another too. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Of course! 😊
I love the weather and mood tracker!!
Thank you!
Thank you for reading and commenting.
I love how creative you are with your journal! I’m so artistically handicapped, I COULD NEVER! 😛
Thank you! This isn’t very artistic, nice and simple 😊
Good job! I would make one, but I forget and/ or lose it by the next day.😀
Ha ha!
I’m obsessed with your swirly font/writing that you use for your titles!

Love this spread! It’s so neat and clear but really cute too. I love your mood tracker as well, my 2020 planner has one of those but because literally nothing has happened in 2020, I haven’t used that planner haha!
Yeah it’s crazy for these planners isn’t it. Such a waste of money 😂🙈 Hopefully it will pick up at the end of the year.
I love this months set up Lauren. It looks so fresh. I am going to work on mine during the summer holiday and really dedicate some time to it. I thought in lockdown I’d be on it every day but working at home just takes over everything.
Thank you for sharing, I love your Bullet Journal posts x
That sounds like a great idea! Thank you for reading and commenting 😊
I love seeing what people do with their bullet journals. I’ve never quite managed to get mine to go the way I want it but looking at other people’s always inspires me. I love your week plan – simple yet effective and I love you can see all the days at once to plan it out.
Yeah I really love how I have planned that week. Thank you for reading and commenting.
I love that you connected with trying a simpler spread. I am often surprised at how much I like a new thing when I give it a go, and your gratitude page with the meeting suns was my favorite from this spread beside the happy yellow colors you used for July!
Thank you Jaya!
I love your gratitude spread! A few years ago I was really into bullet journaling and wish I would have kept it up, it’s such a fun hobby! And the organization makes me super duper happy
Thank you for reading and commenting. Can you share your blog link 😊
I’ve been staring at your pictures of your journal for a while – it’s so pretty! I really wish I could bullet journal! I have a diary but never tend to write in it. I usually wing it throughout the month and hope I remember the list in my head. xxx
Thank you for reading and commenting. Journaling is great.
I am in awe. Work stuff I write on a whiteboard. For personal stuff, I scribble notes everywhere on things I have to do. I keep a gratitude journal and also a journal to write down notes and ideas for my blog posts. My system sounds disorganized but it works. LOL Yours is very pretty and well organized. I really love the gratitude layout. 😀
I love how simple this looks! I might do something similar to this for August. My layout this month was pretty simple, with the exception of my monthly cover spread. I really haven’t felt overly inspired to create extravagant spreads. I just need it to be functional, so these look pretty great! Great post xxx

Me too! Thank you for reading and commenting. Xxx
This journal is so well thought out. I really like it!

I love seeing your BuJo layouts, Lauren. And I like the new clean designs as well. I think the reason I don’t use my bullet journal very much is because I get daunted by seeing all the colourful designs that other bloggers use. Your July layout is much more inspiring to me! Thank you for sharing 🙂 Lisa
Thank you Lisa. I have actually been enjoying the simple layouts. I am a lot more productive.
I love how simple but creative the bullet journal is! Looks fab 🙂

Thank you!
This is such a great post. I like how you’ve included a mood tracker and love the layout you’ve created.
Thank you so much Kelly.
I love this! I wish I was super creative and could make my own bullet journal! I especially love the gratitude pages they are such a great idea!
Thank you so much! Give it a go, it doesn’t need to be arty
This is so attractive! Bullet journaling looks so cool to me, but I don’t know if I have a steady enough hand to do it (I’d have to use a ruler to get a straight line even on grid paper, I swear…). But I feel particularly inspired by this! Thank for showing your lovely work!
I use a ruler too! Definitely give it a go and see if it works for you. Can you link your blog so I can read 😊
Very creative and organized. I think I might have to try something like this. Thanks for sharing.
It’s great to keep you organised.
I commented yesterday, but my comments have been going to spam, I think I’ve sorted it out now….otherwise this one will just go there as well 😂😂
I enjoyed tracking my blog stats and doing the gratitude journal last month, so we are going again for July 😄
That’s great! Good luck for July!
Wow this is very impressive! I like your printing and obvious organizational skills!
Thank you for reading and commenting. Can you link your blog.
Definitely good goals and good way to keep track! Best of luck!
Thank you.
I should probably add vitamins to my planner! I am so bad at forgetting them! I love your bullet journal!
Thank you. Can you link your blog please.
I absolutely love looking at people’s bullet journal designs! I’m so bad at drawing etc but I’d love to have my own bullet journal, so I’m thinking of creating a virtual one! x
Definitely doesn’t need to be arty it can be very simple. X
I love the pop of yellow in these pages! Looks really pretty!!

Thank you very much.
I feel you!! How are we already in July??? Time is flying way too fast, especially with the pandemic going on. Your July spread is gorgeous. I love the habit tracker. I like the different changes you created for the month, along with the cute timeline. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for reading and commenting Nancy! Xx
Time is flying…and I don’t like it! No, I haven’t created a bullet journal, but seeing how you have started one and it has been motivating you makes me want to have my one too, so maybe I’ll get one!
Thank you reading and commenting. Definitely try it and see if it works for you. Can you link your blog.
This is really awesome! I like the daily blog stats tracker. That’s a great idea! Maybe I will give something like that a try. I do keep a gratitude journal, and like you I like to do it in the AM as I drink my coffee. Yours is much nicer to look at though! 😁 Thank you for the ideas!
Thank you for reading and your kind comments.
I love your bullet journal spread!! I tried using a bullet journal but wasn’t able to stay consistent with it. Might give it another try after seeing yours 🙂
Give it a go again and see, stick with it for a while, it does get easier.
Yeah I think I will 🙂 Thank you 🙂
In the year we’d like to forget..it’s great to be organized and see progress and improvements. Your journal method is greatL Thanks for sharing,
Thank you for reading and commenting Mark.
I love the way you give time and attention to your journal. Habit tracker looks important in my case. I do keep checking blog stats which is down at the moment lol. Lovely post my dear. 🙂

I love seeing peoples journals I just dont have the time or patience to start one! I have a blogger journal where I jot down what my instagram is doing and my goals for the month and list of photos I want to take but thats about it!
Thank you. Can you link your blog x

This is excellent! I need to get back to bullet journaling as it builds a feeling of good momentum and purpose.
Thank you. Definitely give it a go’
I love these spreads – they are so creative and cute! I think they would look even more gorgeous once you’ve filled them in. They are so lovely to look back on too. Thanks for sharing x

Awww that’s cool xx
Wow, your pages are so pretty. I bought a bullet journal last month, so it’s good to see how others are using theirs for inspiration. It’s a great idea to use it to track habits and also for social media content. I’m not as artistic as you, but you’ve given me some great ideas. Thank you x
That’s great! Thank you for reading and commenting.
Love the look of the habit tracker! Such a simple and cute design!

Thank you!
I love your layout. It’s simple yet really grabs the eyes. I’m still trying to get back into using a bullet journal regularly. I have made some layouts for some months and then completely forgot to use them.
I hope you manage to get back into it.
This is a lovely bullet journal spread! It’s really simple and pleasing to the eye – well done 🙂
I love your journaling on this information. I haven’t been consistent in doing it and I think I’m missing out on some valuable information and trends
