May was a crazy month with a capital “C”. It started out so strong and by month’s end had fizzled to a slow drip in income and my desire to even turn on the computer or open my Bullet Journal. Solopreneur burn-out hit hard!
Thank goodness for good friends, and big ideas. And yes, even my Bullet Journal. It has saved my neck, helping me keep my sanity and my drive from going completely south. 
Want to pin this article? I’d be so honored!
So, for today, I thought, since it’s such a popular topic on the net, I’d share my bullet journal. I don’t have the standard, well-dressed photos, but I’ve got scans LOL. And at last, you can see a bit of what’s going on between the covers. 
I love my bullet journal. It is the best system I’ve found to keep me functional, help me remember the things I need to do and to brainstorm new ideas – one of which I’ll be sharing with you later in the week! That’s where I’ve been.. working on a new project and getting it all set up for a July Soft Launch. ( a bit of a teaser there!)
So, how do I use my BuJo? 
I give each month an opening page and I try to make it artsy. I need inspiration and motivation to do a lot of things and if it’s just plain, I tend to not keep coming back to it. For me, having pages like this at the beginning of each month makes me stay motivated to keep using my Journal.  This is my June opening page. My birthday is this month so the cake is a fun design to make me feel better about getting older LOL.
My June focus page. I do one of these for every month too. It helps me stay focused on an area of my life that I really want to improve and build on. It’s different every month, but I always include some quotes that mean a lot to me, as well as the definition of my focus word for the month.
My June At A Glance spread. I really like the pink and black line art layout, and this spread works well for me. I was very disappointed with the bleed of the ink in the first banner though 😦 My fault. I got impatient and didn’t wait for the marker to dry. Lessons learned. (Personal information has been redacted.)
My Jne Gratitude and Habbit Tracker. I like this gratitude log and have used it for two months now and will probably keep it for a while. The habbit tracker is new for me. I tried it when I first started BuJo-ing and fell off the wagon, so I’m attempting it again.
My Sleep and Important Dates trackers. Not really anything fancy, just something to help me keep track.
I keep some regular collections in the front part of my journal and I migrate them every time I switch journals, though, I’ve only done that twice so far. The end of June will see me migrating again as I’ve run out of room! YIKES!
Here are some of the collections I’ll be migrating forward: 
My master grocery list. Not that I am fortunate enough to have all of those items on hand at the same time, but it gives me a good starting point!
My Future Log – I keep track of all the major and weird holidays throughout the year. Its sort of a hobby of mine – weirld holidays that is.
My birthday tracker! By the time I move it to the new journal, I’ll have a new Grandson’s birthdate to add 😀
My Social Media Cheat Sheet! I use this almost every day because I have a hard time remembering image sizes and though I can look it up online, I’d rather just be able to turn a page and find what I’m looking for.
This is my mood tracker. I tried it last month and though I fell off using it about midway, I’m going to try it again. If it doesn’t work for me this month then I’ll find a new way to track in the coming journal. I like the flower though as I have tried to draw a Mood Mandala and it looks more like a mood madhouse.
So, that’s my June Set-up, pretty much. My dailies are a very simple, two per page layout and I just use a very easy bullet system to track my tasks, events, and reminders.
The Daily Spread
I also use it to track the weather and the moon phases because those effect my health.
Here are some other images from my past set-ups. I’d love to see yours too! 
My May Opening Page
My May focus word
Be sure to come back Thursday to find out about my new venture! Want a hint?
Sorry, this is all the hint your getting for now!
A Peak Inside My BuJo (And where I’ve been lately) May was a crazy month with a capital "C". It started out so strong and by month's end had fizzled to a slow drip in income and my desire to even turn on the computer or open my Bullet Journal.

My New Venture - Divine Inspiration
My New Venture – Divine Inspiration
Do you believe in divine inspiration? I do, and my new venture was inspired by that still, small voice inside of me that tells me I need to do this, even when it doesn’t fit my current model and mode of business. 
All last week, every time I closed my eyes or tried to write or do anything even remotely connected to work, I kept hearing this little voice in my head that said: “There’s something…

Free Printable - Tim Fargo Quote
Free Printable – Tim Fargo Quote
I am a self-confessed quote junkie. I get so much inspiration and motivation from the quotes I collect, whether they are on Pinterest, or in my Bullet Journal. This quote, by author and angel investor, Tim Fargo, really speaks volumes to me. So much so in fact, that I turned it into a 5 X 7 Print to hang in my office when we build our Tiny House. 
If you’d like to print this image and quote,…

My May 2017 Goals
My May 2017 Goals
Creating goals for my business was what kept me most occupied as I had another bad round of Lyme flares. I put my journals near the bed, plugged in the handy dandy laptop and set to work.
As a business owner, it is crucial that I set both long and short term goals, and develop the action steps I need to take every day, every week, etc, in order to reach those goals. 
These are my May 2017 Goals…
