Bullet Journal Planning Days for 2026
Bullet Journal Planning Days for 2026

Planning Creative Page Spreads and Trackers
Who has set a word for the year? Ever? And have to changed that word throughout the year?
Stop and imagine that your goals, vision, projects, and writing life are creatively mapped out in December before the new year.
Reflect on what worked and what inspired you in 2025.
And now picture a well organized, although flexibly planner, with room to adapt and change and grow with your goals for writing, art, social media, projects and more because you took time to plan your days and weeks ahead of deadlines.
I don’t know about you, but so often if I don’t plan ahead, January roars ahead and unfolds into a stuttering start of each new year if I don’t pray and reflect on what God has in store for me. All the grand plans merge and melt into practicalities and the urgency of daily responsibilities, client word deadlines, and all the projects I’d like to do.
In addition, I’ve had the same goal to finish my illustration portfolio for over 2 years now. I wonder if I’ll ever finish. So I’m taking back my bullet journaling practices and starting fresh for 2026.
And if you’re like me, it’s harder to begin the new year when I’m chasing my goals and plans well into February. Would you like to make 2026 the year your weave creativity, goals, and productivity together into a tapestry of promise?
