2019 Bullet Journal Spreads

December 29, 2018 by Taylor Leave a Comment

2019 Bullet Journal Spreads - Espresso and Ambition

It’s almost the new year, and a new year means a new bullet journal! I’m going to be entirely honest, I have way too much fun researching and coming up with new spread ideas each year. And this year’s bullet journal is probably the most elaborate yet – I’ve gotten comfortable with the simple pen and paper spreads and have started branching out more into fun things like washi tape and stickers.

I’ve talked about this in my bullet journaling beginners post, but I’m a huge advocate for starting off super simple and getting more complex as you get more comfortable and consistent with the concept of keeping a bullet journal. And since this is my third year of using a bullet journal as my planner of choice, I feel totally justified in my decision to start making things a little more #fancy.

My main tools for this year’s bullet journal are:

  • Leuchtermm1917 dotted A6 journal (in gold this year!)
  • Sharpie pens
  • Staedtler Triplus Fineliner pens
  • Zebra Mildliner highlighters
  • Washi tape
  • Stickers from ATArtDigital on Etsy

 

The Cover Page

I was in the mood for a pretty Harry Potter-themed cover page, found a similar version to this online, and made it my own!

 

Yearly Overview

2019 Bullet Journal Spreads - Espresso and Ambition

I always love having a page where I can write big dates in advance, especially since I’m doing all my monthly spreads as the month comes this time around.

 

Birthdays and Holidays

I’m admittedly the worst with remembering birthdays, so hopefully this spread will help me do better – I definitely need to actually fill it out more than this, though.

 

Bill Tracker

As a recent grad who’s newly responsible for all of her own expenses, I thought this would be nice to track how much I’m spending, as well as a pretty way to remind me to pay all my bills on time.

 

Law School Application Spread

This is just a really simple spread for me to track all my law school apps and their progress. I’m wanting to keep track of this whole process – both for personal reasons and so that I can do some posts and videos about it eventually – and having all this information at my fingertips will really help with that.

 

Blogging Spreads

I’m really hoping to buckle down and get more serious about my blog/YouTube/etc. this year, so these spreads (one tracking blog posts/videos and the other tracking stats and income) are going to be really helpful with that.

 

Monthly Spread

Here’s where my new stickers really came into play. I got these from an Etsy shop called ATArtDigital, and they’re a super inexpensive JPG download. From there, I resized them for my bullet journal, printed them on sticker paper, and cut them out myself – it’s a way less expensive option than ordering pre-printed and pre-cut options.

 

Weekly Spread

Ahh, I switched up my weekly spread for the first time in a year and a half! This feels like such a major change for me, but the old weekly spreads were just a lot of unnecessary space for what I needed – so I adjusted it to something that works a little better for me.

 

Here’s to a well-organized 2019!

xo, Taylor

without heavy weights, it’s sometimes a little c without heavy weights, it’s sometimes a little challenging to really feel like i’m working at my full potential on leg days 😶 enter: single-leg movements. since all the weight is in one leg, you’re putting way more emphasis on it than you do during two-leg movements - and you’ll definitely feel that 🔥 you also get some added bonuses in the form of ensuring you’re working each side of your body equally AND a balance challenge!!
.
you can add in weights or bands to up the challenge level, or do it all bodyweight like i am here!
.
1️⃣ 15 single-leg box squats per leg (use other leg as a kickstand for an easier modification!)
.
2️⃣ 15 bulgarian split squats per leg
.
3️⃣ 15 single-leg hip thrusts per leg
.
4️⃣ 15 single-leg deadlifts per leg
.
throw on at the end of a longer leg day workout or do it 3-4 times as a workout all on its own!!

🖤 go easy on yourself 🖤 this is a weird time 🖤 go easy on yourself 🖤 this is a weird time to be alive, and it’s more important now than ever to listen to your body and stop being so hard on yourself. motivation is a fickle thing and working out when you don’t have all the equipment you love is weird. give yourself permission to take a break when you need it. don’t beat yourself up for missing workouts - exercise should be something you do because it makes you happy, not because you feel like you have to punish yourself. if it doesn’t make you happy that day, that’s okay. give yourself a break, come back and try again tomorrow. 💪🏼
circuit-style upper body workout 🖤 honestly not circuit-style upper body workout 🖤 honestly not kidding about how much i love this long resistance band, it’s so versatile! definitely worth getting your hands on one for home workouts 😊 (although almost all of these can be completely with dumbbells or heavy objects if that’s what you’ve got in hand)
.
also please watch to the very end of the fourth video for quality footage of greg 😂
.
1️⃣ 12 long band shoulder presses to standing chest presses
.
2️⃣ 12 upright rows to bicep curls
.
3️⃣ 12 overhead triceps extensions per arm (the one leg stance is some bonus balance work!)
.
4️⃣ 12 rear flies, featuring greg trying to fight my shadow
.
5️⃣ 12 commandos

giveaway 🔥 we’re all handling this weird, cra giveaway 🔥 we’re all handling this weird, crazy time in the world a little differently, and for me, it’s looked like a lot of establishing to and sticking to routines (seriously, sometimes it feels like my skincare routine and workout split are the only thing still giving meaning to days of the week, lol). my morning smoothies have been another important one - there’s a recipe in my story highlights and surprise surprise it uses this protein powder 😛
.
anyways, onto the real reason you’re here! i’m giving away 25 $20 giftcards for @310nutrition with NO STRINGS ATTACHED 🤯 you hear that? you ain’t gotta do a thing to win - the first 25 people to use the code KAYGC20 on their order automatically win. get your hands on some fire plant-based protein powder, courtesy of me and 310 😋 (p.s. if you’re still seeing this caption, there are still giftcards available!!)

upper body circuit ‼️ i’ve been gravitating upper body circuit ‼️ i’ve been gravitating towards circuit-style workouts lately, because they really work up a sweat and home workouts just don’t feel as legit to me unless i’m hardcore sweating 🤷🏼‍♀️ i don’t mind not breaking much of a sweat at the gym, but it feels weird not to when i’m working out at home - anyone else feel this or am i just weird?? 😅
.

.
2️⃣ 12 alternating bicep curls

would be nice if both sides of my head could agree would be nice if both sides of my head could agree on whether my hair is wavy or straight, but apparently that’s a little too much to ask of it 😂
