November Bullet Journal Set Up – Bright Colors & Falling Leaves

November Bullet Journal Set Up – Bright Colors & Falling Leaves

Despite failed attempts and soaked notebook pages recently, I was itching to create a November themed bullet journal layout with watercolor. So here’s November’s Bullet Journal set up & inspiration.

It’s been a while since I posted a Bullet Journal Set-Up post. Mostly because I haven’t felt that I had much to share. I’ve had some bad luck with notebooks lately, so I’ve had to scrap everything and restart multiple times. I feel like a notebook vagabond, a stationary hobo, glassy-eyed, stumbling from one journal sheath to another. Never lingering long, just enough to warm my fingers against the pages before moving on.

Have you been there? Either where inspiration never strikes or when you start creating, your medium doesn’t cooperate? Hopefully, my November Bullet Journal set up gets your creative brain working.

November Planner Inspiration

It was so warm in October that the leaves didn’t have a chance to lose their green and turn colors. The first week of the month was close to 100°F or 37°C all week long! With this in mind, I wanted to create fall colors and a fall attitude somewhere – so why not in November’s Bullet Journal?

In addition to bright colors, I decided to try out some new techniques I desperately want to try and share with you! So let’s dive into the leaf piles and experiments for November’s Bullet Journal Set Up.

Brightly colored falling leaves are a sure sign of fall to me, but something else speaks fall to me as well – and I’m not quite sure why. Finding the moon above the barren treetops and watching my foggy breath rise around me in the cool, still night speaks peace and reflection and reminds me of the transition from warm nights to cool crisp evenings. My welcome page doesn’t look cohesive, but to me, it’s all the elements of a perfect fall.

Want to Learn How I Created These Pages?

There are some parts of November’s Bullet Journal Set up that I want to explain further – such as cutting pages, flip-out pages, & the expanded monthly log. I’ll explain those in separate posts.

Highlights for November’s Bullet Journal Set-Up:

Monthly Log
Cut Pages
Flip-out Pages
Minimal Layouts
Watercolor + Bright Colors
Gratitude Wall – Inspired by this Month’s Instagram Challenge – Gratitude
Idea Tree – Find 150+ Ideas to Replace “Brain Dump” in your Planner

Hopefully, this provides some inspiration for a future spread for you. Minimal design, but bright colors and thick, black outlines give a whimsical look to all the fall & thanksgiving elements. Don’t get stuck thinking you have to create realistic views and doodles. NO! Not necessary! Sometimes blobs of color with a thick-black outline create the best story.

March 2018 Plan With Me: Two Favorite Weekly Layouts + Video

March 22, 2018 2 Comments

March 2018 Plan With Me: Weekly Layouts

This month’s weekly layouts/spreads are very simple, but I used a couple of my very favorites. Don’t get me wrong I love to try new things and paint in my journal, but I also like to plan a productive month. Sometimes you just need a month without frills and these two designs are minimal, functional, and lovely if I do say so myself.  Watch the set-up video below for how I set up the weeklies this month with the two different layouts I used.

Reverse “To Do List”

One new thing included in each week is the #InMy10Minutes section. It’s kind of like a reverse to-do list. Where I take 10 minutes per day (sometimes multiple segments), and I try to get as much done in those few minutes as I possibly can. Then I take just a minute to jot down what I did. This action combats the feeling of inadequacies. It also helps me realize that even on days where I feel like I got nothing done, that is not true. March minimal weekly layouts with #inmy10minutes reverse to do list

Don’t Get Caught Up in the Inadequacies

#InMy10Minutes In My 10 minutes 10 minute tasks, how many things can you do in 10 minutes? I took a deep breath, cleaned the sink, spruced my reflections, shined the throne, make the bathroom floor sparkle, swept and scoured the kitchen, did the dishes - what did you do in your 10 minutesDespite the ever-growing to-do list each week, this little box reminds me of what I did do. One day I might jot down that I took 10 minutes to read my kids a story before they went to bed, listened to each of their prayers, talked with them about their plans for the next day, and kissed them goodnight. Those 10 minutes were more fulfilling than a whole day of errands, and those are the kinds of things I want to remember. Other days I might feel very accomplished and clean four rooms with a flurry of activity. And yet other days, in 10 minutes I read a chapter in a book for some much-needed downtime. Try it out! Include a section in your daily/weekly/monthly spread to remind you of all the things you DID do. Tag me on social media (@ChocolateMusingsCreates) and use #InMy10Minutes. Check out the headers/layouts in my Shop! I’m adding more all the time – so check back often.

Some Weeks Are NO JOKE!

Despite my best-laid plans, some weeks just knock you down.However, since I spent the whole of March planning ahead, a whole week out didn’t completely frustrate me, I’m behind, but not frustrated. So this is how I logged a week with strep, double ear infections, and a hacked computer.
What to do after a terrible week. Write large and turn the page.

Next Month’s Plans

Next month I’ve planned out all sorts of circles – what goes better than circles than space & planets?

About Me


Hi! I'm Tricia, the creative behind ChocolateMusings.com, I know how it feels to lose your inner muse. After years of darkness (which I call the dark ages of my life), I found my inner muse hiding in the forgotten corners of my soul, I vowed never to lose sight of her again.

Bullet journaling helped reignite the passion for art and living life again while organizing my days. I also discovered modern calligraphy and watercolor. Since then, my use of the bullet journal system has evlolved and I call it 'creative planning'. Here on the blog, I show you how to use your planner to ignite your inner muse and explore creativity and art while staying beautifully organized and living a joyful life.

I invite you to grab some good chocolate and dive into my musings. Let’s ignite your inner muse.
