Quarter Reset: A Fresh Start

Quarter two of 2026 is almost upon us, and for me that means a ramp up from my slow start for the year. If the first three months of this year whizzed by you too, then join me in re-starting in Q2!

My Quarter Reset Checklist:  (I’ll break it by category so you can customize it to fit you)

Infrequent tasks:

-Go through my phone gallery and delete unnecessary photos

-Clean makeup brushes

Memory Keeping:

-Make a Q1 instagram post

-Add Q1 photos to year collage spread in bujo

-Fill out my quarter review spread in bujo

Planning:

-Brainstorm Q2 goals

-Make spring bucket list

-Make a Q2 vision board

So far all I have completed is making the spring bucket list (which I am excited about) and brainstorming some goals for Q2. But everything else is still pending and the month ends in three days. But I like taking a whole week to complete everything, the goal is to reset peacefully not rush through chaotically.

I also want to elaborate on what my quarter reset spread in my bullet journal consists of because that is a big part of my review of the previous quarter and set up for the one to come.

There are 5 categories I like to look back upon for the quarter that has passed:

  • Highlights (standout moments/memories)

  • Accomplishments (when I felt proud of something I did) 

  • Favorites (music, media, food, etc.)

  • Goals (goals and bingo board)

  • Challenges (struggles/things I overcame)

After going through those sections, I have a space at the bottom to write down my thoughts in a journal format at the bottom.

I have set up the spread but I haven’t filled it out yet. But to sum up a few of my thoughts here, it’s been a slow Q1 and I am thankful. I wasn’t ready to jump into a busy season, but I feel like I am slowly regaining my energy now.

Hence my brainstorm for Q2 goals which I starting to get excited about. I’ll share my Q2 goals list as it stands now: 

(I will be adding to it as time goes and this does not include my spring bucket list items)

  • taxes (ugh)
  • run a 5k
  • project pan
  • calisthenics
  • develop nighttime routine
  • learn a choreography
  • play a sport

-.-

I hope this next quarter is fun and full of good memories for everyone! Thank you so much for reading and I hope this has given you some ideas for your quarter reset! There is always time for a fresh start if you need it!

2025 Journal Setup Guide Pt.1

Image
It’s that time of year again, 2025 journal setup season! So along with everyone else, this month, I thought I’d share some ideas, tips, things to consider, and, of course, my own selection of spreads for 2025.  This is part 1 of my journal setup guide and will focus on pre-planning. This part is the grunt of the effort when setting up a new journal but once it’s done it makes everything else much easier.  Part 2 will be posted next month and include the more decorative and aesthetic elements along with actually putting pen to paper and showing the final result. But before all that, let’s jump into the planning! Step 1: Brainstorm The first step is deciding what spreads you’re going to include in your journal and writing them all out. Some questions to consider: What worked for me this year? What didn’t work for me this year? Is there anything I can replace it with? What is something I’d like to add to this setup? If this is your first time setting up a journal then the questio...

2025 Journal Setup Guide Pt.2

This month I’m back with the promised Part 2 of the 2025 Journal Setup Guide! If you haven’t checked out part 1 yet, here is the link: Now that we have the prep done, it’s time to actually jump into your journal with all the fun stuff. It’s time to focus on the decoration and aesthetic elements! Step 1: Decorations/Color Palette/Themes A lot of people have themed journal setups and there are countless inspiration images out there for the different types of themes you can use. I personally don’t have a specific theme for my year setup (though I will do themed monthly setups). However, I do have a defined color palette, which is basically my “theme.” My color palette is based on the stickers and washi tape I bought. But you can choose your color palette based on your theme, or other decoration items you have.  You don’t need to be super fancy with your decoration. Just choose one thing that will be at the center of your color story.  Then based on that one thing (theme or sticke...

A Tour of My Daily Planner

Image
Despite bullet journaling for four years now, I only recently started a daily planner. Instead I had a weekly planner that listed out my “weekly goals” (a set list of things I do every week to move me closer to my bigger goals) along with any additional plans and activities specific to the week in question. I tried to break out that weekly planner into days with little success. But that changed when I recently got a new journal that isn’t really fancy but has a little date section at the top and clearly meant for daily use. Now I reserve one page for my weekly planner as I mentioned above and the next seven pages to focus on each day. In this blog post I’ll share with you how I set up my daily planner in it’s current state. (Note: I say current state because if there’s anything I learned through bullet journaling it’s a trial and error process and there will be many modifications until I figure out what works for me and what doesn’t) -.-   The top half of the page i...
