Private: Bullet Journal Brainstorm

Here we go! It's the swap we've all been waiting for!

For this swap, we're going to be drawing out some Spreads and sending along some Goodies.

For the Spreads:

You will be taking four (4) sheets of 8.5x11" paper, and drawing out some example spreads. You can start by tracing your journal or photocopying a blank spread (Two pages = 1 Spread) There will be:

• 1 x Monthly Spread

• 1 x Weekly Spread

• 1 x Daily Spread

• 1 x Speciality Spread (These are done with one topic per page) (Books to Read, Future Log, Goal Tracker, Templates for Headers, etc.)

There is no specific size requirement for how big these spreads should be, but it should fill at least 3/4 of the page. Write in examples so we can see how to fill it in. (ie. "This is a completed task", "This is where I would put short term tasks.", "This section works well for me because..." etc.) They do not have to be incorporated to each other. These don't have to be layouts that would go in the same journal, since many weekly spreads contain similar elements to daily spreads.

You can draw out tried and true spreads, or new spreads that you have been thinking about trying. You can flip to last week's spread and copy it word for word. You can leave them minimal, or spruce them up with sticky notes and stickers. These are Sender's Choice.

For the Goodies:

You will be sending along four (4) small goodies. These are meant to be things that can be used for Bullet Journals, and you are encouraged to use them in your example spreads. The list follows:

• 7 Page flags (all the same)

• 3 Journalling cards, 3x4 or 4x6

• 7 Sticky Notes (all the same)

• 3 Washi Tape samples (minimum 24" of each)

• 10 Stickers/labels

• 3 Non-Standard/Shaped paper clips

• 1 Bookmark (handmade or store bought)

• 1 profile specific item

• 5 Stickers, either flakes, cut from a sheet, or a whole sheet, so long as they are not damaged

• Stencils, total added size no larger than A5, about 5.8"x8.2"

• 1 Pen, preferably one with no bleeding and minimal ghosting

• 3 Small rubber stamps, icon size. Or 1 larger heading size stamp

OR

• A Full Dashboard (4x6 or 5x7 size could be used in most planners) that includes 3 items from the list above.

The best guideline for sending goodies, is to send something that you might use regularly or would like to receive yourself. Please do not send any damaged or poor quality materials (ie. Fine tip Sharpies that bleed excessively, water damaged or stained paper.) Acceptable items to send might include items you bought to try or received in a swap. These might not be a perfect fit for you, but are otherwise of good quality.

Please contact the coordinator or comment below if you have any questions or concerns. Best of luck and Happy Bullet Journalling!!
