It’s hard to scroll through social media without seeing at least one overhead photo of a bullet journal, artfully decorated with colorful doodles and creative fonts. And if you’ve never used a bullet journal (or “bujo”), it might just look like a passing Pinterest fad — or, at the very least, an overly complicated day planner.

But bujo enthusiasts know a bullet journal can provide a way to organize every aspect of your life — from your personal calendar to your to-do list to your weight loss goals.

So how can you get started with keeping a bullet journal? Monthly goal trackers are a great way to get in the habit of journaling — at the beginning of every month, create an artistic calendar or chart that’ll keep you motivated and help you focus on your goals for the month ahead, so you can take wellness to the next level.

No matter where you are in your wellness journey, here are a few creative bullet journal examples you can use for inspiration. (Feel free to mix and match — it’s all about helping you plan your best life.)

 

Habit Tracker Examples

Looking to build healthier habits — or break a bad habit? If so, the habit tracker is an essential part of your monthly layout. Write down the habits you’d like to track — like getting your step count in, or going a full day without shopping online — and celebrate your successes each day by marking them in your journal. Here are a few examples to help you get started.
