I searched and searched on Pinterest until I thought I had seen almost every layout there was.

Learn more of what I wish I had known when I started bullet journaling here.

I found the layout with the most helpful trackers and boxes on it. (I thought.)

After making this layout once, I didn't like it as much as I thought I would, so I made a few tweaks and tried again the next week.

Each week after that, I made a few changes to the layout.

Pretty soon I got bored of that layout and redesigned it.

Then I decided I only wanted a one-page layout instead of a two-page layout. Guess what? I changed that layout and cut out some of the "helpful trackers"

I needed something that I could make quickly each week instead of spending a long time on it. I decided that my monthly layout would be super intricate and that my weekly layout would only take a few minutes.

Don't get me wrong. The layout I started with was a great layout, but it just wasn't for me. I am one of those people who gets bored when they see the same tracker, same layout, over and over again.

Are you one of those people?

I made examples of a few of my layouts. I thought I'd make this a win-win for both of us, so I made these templates printable and they are waiting for you in the freebie library.
