One of our favourite things about the festive season is the extra downtime we gain to rest, reflect and rejoice in putting pen to paper. If you’re partial to a spot of bullet journaling and you’re looking to put a seasonal spin on your pages, our friend A Piece of Mind Journal is here to inspire you with a ways to document and doodle your Christmas past, present and future.
Christmas Past: Logging festive memories
“Journaling is a wonderful way to log memories of festive events as well as what you are reading, watching and listening to every year. Not only is it an exercise for expressing gratitude and heightened awareness of the world around you, but a lovely keepsake to read back on at Christmases to come. Simply create a chart with every day of the month down every row, and choose what you want to write across the top.”
Christmas Present: Managing tasks
“Christmas is always a hectic time of year, not just because of planning festivities but in work, preparing the home, and prepping for the new year. Rather than trying to organise tasks into individual columns and categories, try using a master list of tasks which you organise with just a tick of a box. That way you can quickly jot down ongoing tasks whilst on the move, and easily see what tasks are amounting for which category.”
Christmas Future: Goal-setting for 2022
“As quickly as Christmas comes around, it’s time to swiftly start planning 2022. Take the holidays to think not only of what you want to achieve next year, but how you’re going to make it happen – after all, achieving your goal starts with taking action. Theme your goals to ensure you’re really reflecting on resolutions in all aspects of life, from tangible tasks to aspirations for your state of mind. Complete this chart which promotes goal planning, as well as goal setting, to hold yourself accountable for completing through the new year.”
