@@JashiiCorrin "just as I often end up with multiple things on each day" how did handle that. Cause it really what slow me in my build of my future log
@@greg7371 I normally go with future log styles that don’t have a set space for each day of the month. I’ll normally just have a larger box to write anything that’s going on for each month, and just start each entry with the day number it’s happening on. Then if there are multiple things happening on one day, I just write in multiple entries that start with the same number 😊 hope that make sense!
I so appreciate this video as I’m setting up my first journal today and I’ve taken on the task of doing 3 more at the same time for each of my kiddos so I really needed ideas!😳🤣 Hugs to you and everyone here💕✨
I actually put mini-calendars at the top, and then list out days 1-28/30/31 underneath -- so I get to see which days have things going on with colour coding, but I can write down the event itself underneath. it really helps me!
Because I need to see the exact day inside of the month that something is going to happen, my favourite is the vertical (2:24). Also because things tend to happen at the same time... But the circular spreads may be good for other things like a phrase per month, a month review, or things like that. I like how all the spreads look.
Nowadays I absolutely love the Alastair method combined with a year at a glance next to it. Simple, clean and easy to setup. In some of my past journals I used the Calendex. Switched to the Alastair method because it needs less maintenance
I’m a huge fan of the Alistair method for future logging, because some months are insane, and others there’s usually nothing that needs to be put on a future log.
The front of my journal is setup like 12 single monthly full spread calendars. So the first double spread is January, the 2nd is February and so on. I don’t bother to draw a calendar on my monthly spreads anymore as I have that now. This is my second year doing it and it works well. I make my own book so I know it’s big enough for the entire year
I love the look of the jigsaw future log! Very fun indeed. In terms of function, though, I really love the Alastair method or the calendex. My journals usually aren't numbered, though I plan to revamp my system in the next couple of months, and numbering pages is on my list of things to consider! But I think the Alastair method combined with a year at a glance is brilliant.
It’s funny after reading the official guide to bullet journalling to see how much people have deviated away from the original system to the extent they don’t even know what the future log is for anymore. It seems its all about the aesthetics these days and not so much about the functionality. I really want this system to work for me so I am trying to gain a better understanding of the modules before launching into the fancy layouts. Still this was fun to watch.
Loving the circle Future Log. Since I don't use my current Future Log much (didn't have as many future appointments as I thought I would), I'm thinking of doing this for the next one.
My future log is centered around weeks (just like the rest of my bullet journal). I fit 10 weeks vertically in two pages and I write the day of the week and the date. This helps me to plan out my lessons and other important events. Even though I pre-plan my weeklies for the whole year, I like the panoramic view of the (roughly) semester. Now I'm trying to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
My go to is 2 vertical columns per page, usually I have loads booked in for hubby's gigs, appointments etc. I used the 3 horizontal per page this year and found I was lacking space for May plans lol (just out of lockdown - long may it continue🤞).
I like the vertical ones best because I like making lists lol I'm just getting ready to start a new bullet journal for the rest of the year, starting in June, and I'm going to do two months per page for my future log. That even gives me half a page for "next year" which I usually forget to add. 😁
My go to is the vertical or horizontal ones that way I have LOTS of space when figuring out everything!! I really loved the JASONDJFMAMJ log you did I've never seen that one before 😊😊
i do full page calendars. But I am doing digital planners. The nice thing is when I set up my monthly planner I can copy that whole calendar over to the new month. It is efficient, but not particularly decorative. It is more utilitarian I would say.
@@JashiiCorrin I have thoughts. Because I usually just put future dates into my phone calendar I'm thinking I'll use it for birthdays and holidays or something
I actually have a different style for the one I just set up for May-Aug. It has half an a5 page per month and a calendar sticker, then the weeks are sectioned off so there is one short line for each day of the month.
Hi ma'm , I'm starting my bullet journal again soon , I have started a few months ago but lost motivation because here in south africa we dont have stationary people like you have , but I'm going to try my best this time with what we have ❤❤❤🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌
While I prefer the horizontal layout, I like the idea of using the Alastair method for the future log. I'll probably incorporate it into my next journal as a 'far future' log. Thanks always for the great ideas!
for the moment i use the vertical one with all the dates of the months. but i think the next one will be a calendex+alistair method. Looks funny to use them together
My future log is actually my phone calendar, because it stresses me to have informations in to many different locations. Also, it means I have it with me all the time (my bullet journal does NOT come out of the house !). And I don't really do a monthly either, just a pretty title page and a very elaborate monthly health tracker (chronic desease to monitor). Do you use it a lot ? You don't say in this particular video (I think you talked about it in another) if you also have a digital calendar in parallel with your bujo. That's what stressed me in the end (having to check that both calendars where acurate, and I didn't forget to report infos from one to the other).
I’ve been in the process of trying to consolidate a bit so I don’t have everything everywhere 😊 in my current journal I didn’t set one up because of lack of use in my last journal, but I actually found to stressful to not have it 😅 I’ve since added a simple one in the back of my journal 👌 my journal does come everywhere with me though 😄💜
@@JashiiCorrin Yeah, it's funny how the first criteria most of us have to use (or not use) a feature of the bullet journal is "it stresses me to have/not have it" 😁 I believe it's a good sign actually, that we really use it to help us, and not to add to our mental charge.
I love your ideas. I am going to try the jigsaw method first. I am excited to get into my new bullet journal even though its a bit late this year. I am looking for the link for the mini calanders but cant seem to locate it. Is it possible for someone to point me in the right direction
Very good ideas! I am still not sure about the future log: the way my mind works, very few future events should have a date, so the date part of this spread should have as little part as possible.
I find that a lot of my future events have a date 😅 when it was for school, it was things like term dates, parent evenings, school-specific days off, staff only days which all have dates decided in advance 😊 if it were for more personal things, it would be stuff like events and gatherings that you need to buy tickets for well in advance and such 😛 I suppose it really depends on personal circumstances though 😄
The pages in the printable yearly calendar documents are sized to A5 so when I print them I make sure to set the print settings to “actual size” rather than fit or anything like that. Hope that helps! 💜
Really 'cause that's a personal preference of mine 😄 Rather than having the days go across 6 lines, I just tuck any that *would* be on the 6th line at the start of the first one. Hope that makes sense! 😝💜
@@JashiiCorrin makes sense. I did not check if the end of may had all 31 days. I can see where a rectangle is easier to use than one with one or two dates hanging off the end.

Your first of your previous future logs is the one I like the most. For me it is the easiest way to see what the months look like.
I agree. I think that is so functional x
Thanks Pye and Amy! 😄 I found that it wasn’t quite enough space for me, just as I often end up with multiple things on each day 😅
@@JashiiCorrin For me that don't have to plan ahead very much, it is enough space. If I had more plans another future log would be necessary.

I agree 👏 I like how you can take a monthly log and use it for different and specific purposes 😄💜

That’s mainly why I switched too 😄 the Alistair method certainly is user-friendly

I liked most the third future log - mixture of horizontal and vertical boxes 💜
It's a bit different which I quite like 😄💜
Saw “F.R.I.E.N.D.S Trivia Night” and I knew, you’re one of us. 🤗🤗🤗
I want to try out the jigsaw. I don't tend to use future lid very much, but I like having it there for main events.
I like the Alistair double spread, and hadn't seen that before. Thanks.
Most welcome! Glad you liked it 💜😄
