 Hello everyone! Welcome to today's video. My name is Laura. This is my channel Laura's Little Library and today I'm going to be doing a flip through of my entire bullet journal from this past year. I started off by having a 2021 master list of all the books I read with the title, author, and rating. However, I only started this bullet journal in August, so these are all the books that I've read and the spreads starting from August and on. So August was a beach theme as it was the last month of summer and I think going through this was a pretty decent spread for it being my very first spread that I ever did. I definitely think it could use a little more structure and color and just be a little bit neater overall. But this is when I used pens because I didn't have anything else around to use. I also realized I wasted a lot of space for planning for reviews of books. I didn't end up reading that month, so I won't be doing that again. Next was September and I did a Gravity Falls theme for this one because I had just watched the show and I thought it was perfect for that transition between summer and Halloween. Here I used crayons for the coloring and that was a very bad idea along with Sharpie as I just bled through the pages and I had a really hard time just depreciating each spread on its own. However, I think the theme of the spread itself was a little bit more prominent and a little better than in August. I still lacked some of that structure and still figuring out how to plan the bullet journal in a way that was the most useful for me. What spreads I liked, what spreads I used, what ones I didn't know I would want yet. Then I had my October spread and I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I used some inspiration from Pinterest. I finally had a small pack of markers that didn't bleed through and a good pen. I think this is where my bullet journal really started to pick up as each spread was fun and colorful and slightly more structured. November spread, I really liked my cover page for it. I felt like it actually took up an entire page unlike October did. And again on this one, I loved having the theme of fall and I again played around with what spreads I wanted in the journal versus what ones I didn't. I was still kind of figuring out structure and the best way to use up all the space but I did settle on the calendar format that I really liked. And again I was using these read-a-thon specific pages and I enjoyed it and I started really using my brainstorm areas and I came up with new ideas for more spreads that I wanted to use going forward into December. Now December is the current spread that I'm going through and of course I think it might be the best of all. I did shorten my TBR just a little bit because of the read-a-thons but again this is my most structured spread that I've done where everything is neat and using up all the space. I figured out color coding for the calendar which I was really excited about and will plan on using for all of my future spreads. Again because it's December I had some extra spreads that I was trying out and some I will use and some like the books coming out. I won't but I'm really happy with the structure of my social media spreads with planning the two videos a week on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and even how I structured the reviews to be just a little more neat and have a little more space for each review without wasting space. I am still cautious about planning ahead but that's because I needed to end do my year end for 2021 with that final spread that you saw and then getting prepared for next year's master list.
