00:00:00,311 --> 00:00:02,894
(mellow music)

2
00:00:10,930 --> 00:00:14,060
- Hello everyone. It's Amanda.
Welcome back to my channel.

3
00:00:14,060 --> 00:00:16,170
Today's the day, since it is June,

4
00:00:16,170 --> 00:00:19,210
we are wrapping up the
first six months of 2021

5
00:00:19,210 --> 00:00:21,350
which means that I am almost at the end

6
00:00:21,350 --> 00:00:22,860
of my current bullet journal.

7
00:00:22,860 --> 00:00:25,590
To be exact, I think I
have about five pages left.

8
00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:28,830
So today I'm gonna be switching
into a brand new notebook,

9
00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:30,230
setting all of that up.

10
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:33,290
By the way, if you're
confused as to where I am,

11
00:00:33,290 --> 00:00:35,510
because I'm not in my regular background

12
00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:37,030
or my regular apartment,

13
00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:38,930
you probably haven't seen my update video.

14
00:00:38,930 --> 00:00:41,470
I recommend you check
that out if you're curious

15
00:00:41,470 --> 00:00:42,590
or if you have any questions,

16
00:00:42,590 --> 00:00:45,920
but yes, I'm not in
Toronto or my apartment,

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,310
which is kind of perfect for this video

18
00:00:47,310 --> 00:00:50,500
because it's new bullet journal, new city,

19
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:52,550
fresh start, all of that.

20
00:00:52,550 --> 00:00:55,180
I'm gonna be switching
into this guy right here.

21
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:56,130
I chose this color.

22
00:00:56,130 --> 00:00:59,190
This is the slate gray
from Shop AmandaRachLee,

23
00:00:59,190 --> 00:01:00,790
the new collection that we just launched.

24
00:01:00,790 --> 00:01:03,380
It has the nice colored edges.

25
00:01:03,380 --> 00:01:04,850
I feel like my bullet journals

26
00:01:04,850 --> 00:01:06,950
always have kind of a color scheme.

27
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:09,080
Like last year, both of them were blue.

28
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,300
This year, we're going dark and sleek.

29
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:16,760
So that's what I'm going
to be switching into today.

30
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,330
We're gonna be cracking
open the new notebook,

31
00:01:19,330 --> 00:01:21,930
which is always so satisfying.

32
00:01:21,930 --> 00:01:25,576
Like just hearing the spine crack.

33
00:01:25,576 --> 00:01:27,660
(spine cracks)
Oh yeah.

34
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:28,660
So I'm gonna be showing you guys

35
00:01:28,660 --> 00:01:31,000
what I'm transferring over
into this bullet journal.

36
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,730
All of these spreads, all of that.

37
00:01:32,730 --> 00:01:35,800
If you're also switching into
a new bullet journal soon,

38
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,320
then let me know in the comments.

39
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:40,680
Also, I've done about four
of these videos before,

40
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,180
one for every year that I bullet journaled

41
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:44,410
because I always kind of
switch into a new notebook

42
00:01:44,410 --> 00:01:45,310
around this time of the year.

43
00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:47,790
So if you still need some more inspiration

44
00:01:47,790 --> 00:01:50,660
after watching this one, I'll
link all of those down below.

45
00:01:50,660 --> 00:01:54,010
But I just kind of wanna get
started in the new notebook.

46
00:01:54,010 --> 00:01:55,740
So let's go.

47
00:01:55,740 --> 00:01:58,600
Okay, so it's that time, time
to switch into a new notebook.

48
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,100
This notebook has done me well
for the first half of 2021.

49
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:04,480
Definitely have filled it
up with some fun spreads,

50
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,940
and a lot of memories, but
we're moving on to a new one.

51
00:02:08,940 --> 00:02:11,100
Thank you, next, if you will.

52
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:12,620
This, for the second half of the year,

53
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:15,740
I'm using the slate gray Shop
AmandaRachLee dotted notebook

54
00:02:15,740 --> 00:02:16,680
with the colored edge.

55
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,200
I'm obsessed with the colored edge.

56
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,570
By the way, I'll leave
a little coupon code

57
00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:23,530
in case you are looking for a new notebook

58
00:02:23,530 --> 00:02:24,700
for the second half of the year

59
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:26,950
and you wanna grab the same one as mine.

60
00:02:26,950 --> 00:02:27,940
You wanna twin with me.

61
00:02:27,940 --> 00:02:31,490
So check it out in the
description box down below.

62
00:02:31,490 --> 00:02:34,910
But let's open it up into the name page.

63
00:02:34,910 --> 00:02:36,480
You guys know this is like,

64
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,690
I feel like this is the best part

65
00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:39,660
about opening up a new blank notebook

66
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:42,690
is just like cracking open that spine.

67
00:02:42,690 --> 00:02:46,780
Hearing the sound, and then
just writing that first word.

68
00:02:46,780 --> 00:02:48,510
So I'm just writing my name.

69
00:02:48,510 --> 00:02:51,870
By the way, just as a
warning for this video,

70
00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:55,420
I don't have my usual lighting
setup in Vancouver with me.

71
00:02:55,420 --> 00:02:57,900
So if the lighting changes a lot,

72
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:01,220
or if it's not as clear it
usually is in my other videos,

73
00:03:01,220 --> 00:03:04,000
that's why I wish I could have brought

74
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,023
all the lighting stuff, but
you know, it is what it is.

75
00:03:07,023 --> 00:03:09,100
I just thought I would
try to get this video up

76
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:10,590
as best as I could.

77
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:13,000
So the first spread that
I am transferring over

78
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,460
in to my new bullet journal is,

79
00:03:15,460 --> 00:03:18,720
of course, my handy-dandy
grid space guide.

80
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,950
You guys know I always use this

81
00:03:20,950 --> 00:03:24,300
and I always put it on the very
first page on the left side,

82
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:26,630
which makes it really
easy for me to flip to

83
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:28,020
whenever I'm creating a spread

84
00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:32,390
and I want to reference
any grid spacing dilemmas.

85
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:34,720
If you're curious as to
how I use this spread,

86
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,420
because I always get so many questions

87
00:03:36,420 --> 00:03:38,770
about grid spacing guides and all of that,

88
00:03:38,770 --> 00:03:40,350
I will leave a video that I did

89
00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:42,630
actually explaining how I use this,

90
00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:45,000
but I just did the exact same setup

91
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,783
as the first half of the year.

92
00:04:00,276 --> 00:04:01,810
Before I show you guys
the rest of the spreads,

93
00:04:01,810 --> 00:04:04,600
I wanted to quickly think Aura
for sponsoring today's video.

94
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,260
If you guys haven't heard of Aura yet,

95
00:04:06,260 --> 00:04:08,980
Aura is an Apple
award-winning all-in-one-app

96
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:11,220
for mental wellbeing and sleep.

97
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:14,050
Other self-care apps usually
offer a one size fits all approach,

98
00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:17,220
but with Aura, they offer a
holistic, personalized library

99
00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:18,760
of mental wellbeing resources

100
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,290
that are tailored to fit your needs.

101
00:04:21,290 --> 00:04:24,140
They already have a community
of over 5 million people

102
00:04:24,140 --> 00:04:27,100
and they have over
5,000 customized tracks.

103
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:31,210
97% of first-time users
reported a improvement

104
00:04:31,210 --> 00:04:33,310
after just three days of using the app.

105
00:04:33,310 --> 00:04:34,143
I love Aura.

106
00:04:34,143 --> 00:04:35,170
I recently started using it,

107
00:04:35,170 --> 00:04:37,490
and I think it's a really
awesome resource for you guys.

108
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:39,880
We always talk about mental
health here on the channel.

109
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,510
And I think bullet journaling,

110
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:43,700
and journaling kind of goes
hand-in-hand with that.

111
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:45,940
So Aura is a really awesome resource

112
00:04:45,940 --> 00:04:47,490
for any of you who wanna try it out.

113
00:04:47,490 --> 00:04:48,960
How it works is you just go on their app.

114
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,330
You take their quick assessment

115
00:04:50,330 --> 00:04:53,070
so that they can find
out what your needs are

116
00:04:53,070 --> 00:04:55,020
and it'll automatically help you discover

117
00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:56,720
personalized tracks for you to listen to.

118
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,630
And from there, you can
tailor it even more,

119
00:04:58,630 --> 00:05:01,440
and find your favorite coaches
that you wanna listen to,

120
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,710
create playlists,

121
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:05,270
and explore all of the
new content on there.

122
00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:09,500
It's kind of like having a
Spotify for your mind and soul.

123
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:11,260
They have all different types of tracks,

124
00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:13,270
whether you only have
five minutes to spare,

125
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:15,790
or an hour, you'll definitely
be able to find something.

126
00:05:15,790 --> 00:05:19,680
There's guided meditations.
There is life coaching.

127
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,760
There is relaxing stories.

128
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,090
My favorite section of the app

129
00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:24,600
is definitely the guided meditation app,

130
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,160
which I've talked about briefly before,

131
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,810
but I've been really
into guided meditation.

132
00:05:28,810 --> 00:05:32,400
It really helps me turn
off the rest of the world,

133
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,360
Especially if I just have
a quick, like 10 minutes.

134
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,193
You can kind of choose

135
00:05:36,193 --> 00:05:39,870
depending on how long of a
guided meditation you want,

136
00:05:39,870 --> 00:05:42,090
and what your goals for
that meditation are.

137
00:05:42,090 --> 00:05:43,420
Also, if I'm not in the mood

138
00:05:43,420 --> 00:05:45,140
for a full-on guided meditation,

139
00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:47,720
I really like that I can
just pop in my headphones,

140
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,480
and listen to an
inspiring, motivating story

141
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,160
kind of while I'm working
or while I'm drawing.

142
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,640
I'm gonna leave the name of
my favorite meditation tracks

143
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,920
on the screen right now, in
case you guys are curious.

144
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,640
So if you do wanna try Aura for yourself,

145
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,770
the first 500 people to click
the link in my description box

146
00:06:04,770 --> 00:06:07,890
will get a free
seven-day-trial of the Aura app

147
00:06:07,890 --> 00:06:10,880
and 25% off your first year subscription.

148
00:06:11,613 --> 00:06:13,673
I was really excited when they
reached out to work with me

149
00:06:13,673 --> 00:06:17,333
because I just love their
app and what they do.

150
00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:19,713
So thank you to Aura for
sponsoring today's video.

151
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:23,193
But with that being
said, back to the video.

152
00:06:23,193 --> 00:06:24,993
A lot of the spreads
that I make in this video

153
00:06:24,993 --> 00:06:26,323
are going to be very similar

154
00:06:26,323 --> 00:06:29,213
to the very beginning of the year set up,

155
00:06:29,213 --> 00:06:32,093
just because I like to keep
some sort of consistency

156
00:06:32,093 --> 00:06:35,563
amongst my bullet journals,
at least for the year.

157
00:06:35,563 --> 00:06:38,887
So that's why you'll see a
lot of repeating spreads.

158
00:06:38,887 --> 00:06:42,177
The only thing that I did
change is the color palette.

159
00:06:42,431 --> 00:06:44,141
Part of this is because I didn't bring

160
00:06:44,141 --> 00:06:46,461
all my markers with me to Vancouver,

161
00:06:46,461 --> 00:06:48,431
to a new city, because
that would be insane.

162
00:06:48,431 --> 00:06:51,141
Imagine if I brought
1,000 markers with me.

163
00:06:51,141 --> 00:06:53,721
But also I thought that could
be like the fun switch up

164
00:06:53,721 --> 00:06:57,551
for the new notebook, is just
changing the color palette.

165
00:06:57,551 --> 00:06:59,661
On the right side of this spread,

166
00:06:59,751 --> 00:07:01,761
I just created a little quote page,

167
00:07:01,761 --> 00:07:04,131
and it says the best is yet to come.

168
00:07:04,131 --> 00:07:06,891
Again, I'm using those
kind of pastel colors

169
00:07:06,891 --> 00:07:09,621
and also this thin bubble letter font

170
00:07:09,621 --> 00:07:11,601
that I use throughout this setup,

171
00:07:11,601 --> 00:07:14,281
as well as the beginning
of the year set up

172
00:07:14,281 --> 00:07:17,351
that I did early in January, 2021.

173
00:07:17,351 --> 00:07:18,861
So I thought it was pretty cute.

174
00:07:18,861 --> 00:07:23,561
I have the little bubbles, I
also have some crosshatching,

175
00:07:23,561 --> 00:07:26,321
those like diagonal lines,
which I think makes it pop.

176
00:07:26,321 --> 00:07:27,941
You know, we love a drop shadow.

177
00:07:27,941 --> 00:07:29,711
I know it's been a while
since I've said that,

178
00:07:29,711 --> 00:07:31,241
but I'm still loyal.

179
00:07:31,241 --> 00:07:33,331
I still love drop shadows. (laughs)

180
00:07:33,331 --> 00:07:34,691
Oh yeah, and then I just finished it off

181
00:07:34,691 --> 00:07:36,531
with the Shop AmandaRachLee,

182
00:07:36,531 --> 00:07:39,431
I think this is the light
neutral Washi Tape set,

183
00:07:39,431 --> 00:07:41,221
which by the way, we're
working on restocking.

184
00:07:41,221 --> 00:07:42,221
So don't worry.

185
00:07:42,221 --> 00:07:43,541
And then moving on to the next spread,

186
00:07:43,541 --> 00:07:46,421
we have my future log,
which basically just has all

187
00:07:46,421 --> 00:07:49,021
of the future months for the rest of 2021,

188
00:07:49,021 --> 00:07:51,631
so July through to December.

189
00:07:51,631 --> 00:07:56,631
And in the old bullet journal,
the one that I just used,

190
00:07:56,631 --> 00:07:58,181
I did like this file folder thing,

191
00:07:58,181 --> 00:08:00,131
because I had all of the months.

192
00:08:00,131 --> 00:08:03,631
But since there's only six
months for this spread,

193
00:08:03,631 --> 00:08:06,301
I divided each page into three columns.

194
00:08:06,301 --> 00:08:09,011
And that's how I fit the calendar spread.

195
00:08:09,011 --> 00:08:11,231
Also in terms of the pens
and supplies that I'm using,

196
00:08:11,231 --> 00:08:12,511
I'm gonna link them down below

197
00:08:12,511 --> 00:08:16,591
but the markers are pretty
much all Zebra Mildliners.

198
00:08:16,591 --> 00:08:18,901
The very thin pen that I'm using,

199
00:08:18,901 --> 00:08:20,431
usually I would use a fine liner,

200
00:08:20,431 --> 00:08:22,561
but because I wanted it to be super thin,

201
00:08:22,561 --> 00:08:25,271
especially for when I'm doing
those diagonal drop shadows,

202
00:08:25,271 --> 00:08:28,201
I'm actually using my
all-time favorite gel pen

203
00:08:28,201 --> 00:08:31,596
which is the Uni-ball Signo 0.38 Gel Pen.

204
00:08:31,596 --> 00:08:34,421
And otherwise, I'm just using the classic

205
00:08:34,421 --> 00:08:39,191
Sakura pigment microns,
typically in 0.3 or 0.2,

206
00:08:39,191 --> 00:08:40,221
especially when I'm trying

207
00:08:40,221 --> 00:08:43,881
to get really small numbers like this.

208
00:08:43,881 --> 00:08:46,731
But yeah, so I'm just writing
out the mini-calendars,

209
00:08:46,731 --> 00:08:48,841
making sure that I don't
mess up any numbers,

210
00:08:48,841 --> 00:08:50,971
because I'm traumatized.

211
00:08:51,268 --> 00:08:54,368
There's one year where
I messed up the numbers

212
00:08:54,368 --> 00:08:57,258
and it kind of affected
the rest of the months.

213
00:08:57,258 --> 00:09:00,898
So I had to redo all of the
mini-calendars. (laughs)

214
00:09:00,898 --> 00:09:02,208
That was a very traumatizing year.

215
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:04,298
So you live and you learn.

216
00:09:04,298 --> 00:09:06,108
Now I always double-check

217
00:09:06,108 --> 00:09:09,588
so that I don't need to
fix anything, but yes,

218
00:09:09,588 --> 00:09:12,998
I have July through December,
and then underneath it

219
00:09:12,998 --> 00:09:15,728
I left space for me to
write out any events.

220
00:09:15,728 --> 00:09:17,528
And then I just decorated the rest

221
00:09:17,528 --> 00:09:20,108
of the spread with any
doodles, Washi Tapes.

222
00:09:20,219 --> 00:09:21,602
And there we go.

223
00:09:32,681 --> 00:09:36,281
So the next spread that I'm
doing is my 2021 highlight reel,

224
00:09:36,281 --> 00:09:39,191
which is actually where
I just put my Polaroids

225
00:09:39,347 --> 00:09:40,417
for the month.

226
00:09:40,417 --> 00:09:41,507
I think it's pretty cool

227
00:09:41,507 --> 00:09:43,527
that I've been doing this type of spread

228
00:09:43,527 --> 00:09:48,277
for the past three,
three-ish years, I think.

229
00:09:48,277 --> 00:09:49,257
It's just one of those things

230
00:09:49,257 --> 00:09:51,067
where I think it's gonna be really special

231
00:09:51,067 --> 00:09:54,577
to look back on when I flip
through my bullet journals

232
00:09:54,577 --> 00:09:58,917
as an old person, just
reminiscing on the times,

233
00:09:58,917 --> 00:10:01,207
and you can kind of
see what you were doing

234
00:10:01,207 --> 00:10:04,037
at each month during that year.

235
00:10:04,037 --> 00:10:06,277
I just traced out a Polaroid that I have

236
00:10:06,277 --> 00:10:09,117
and I fit six, one for each month.

237
00:10:09,117 --> 00:10:12,397
And I just outlined that
little rectangular shape.

238
00:10:12,397 --> 00:10:13,707
You guys always ask me about

239
00:10:13,707 --> 00:10:16,307
like what Polaroid printer I use,

240
00:10:16,307 --> 00:10:19,277
because you know, when you're
living life in the moment,

241
00:10:19,277 --> 00:10:20,807
sometimes you don't carry around

242
00:10:20,807 --> 00:10:22,547
your Polaroid camera with you.

243
00:10:22,547 --> 00:10:25,967
So I actually do use a Polaroid
printer for most of these

244
00:10:25,967 --> 00:10:28,517
so that I can go through the pictures

245
00:10:28,517 --> 00:10:29,517
that I've taken for the month

246
00:10:29,517 --> 00:10:30,867
and print out my favorite memory

247
00:10:30,867 --> 00:10:32,687
for this highlight reel spread.

248
00:10:32,687 --> 00:10:36,070
I use the Fuji film in Stacks Share,

249
00:10:37,062 --> 00:10:39,552
just in case any of you guys are curious.

250
00:10:39,685 --> 00:10:40,895
Those ones are really good

251
00:10:40,895 --> 00:10:43,165
because you can just print
it out after the fact

252
00:10:43,165 --> 00:10:44,145
and you don't need to worry about

253
00:10:44,145 --> 00:10:46,695
carrying your instant camera everywhere.

254
00:10:46,695 --> 00:10:49,425
All right. So moving
on to the next spread.

255
00:10:49,425 --> 00:10:53,175
I think this is my mid-year goal check-in

256
00:10:53,175 --> 00:10:56,705
so at the beginning of the
year for my January setups,

257
00:10:56,705 --> 00:10:58,835
I do a lot of goal setting spreads

258
00:10:58,835 --> 00:11:00,405
just because it's the
beginning of the year.

259
00:11:00,405 --> 00:11:02,175
You have New Year's resolutions.

260
00:11:02,175 --> 00:11:05,085
I don't like to do as
intense of a goal setup

261
00:11:05,085 --> 00:11:06,505
for the middle of the year

262
00:11:06,505 --> 00:11:08,165
when I'm switching into a new notebook

263
00:11:08,165 --> 00:11:10,445
but I do kind of like to
do a mid-year check-in.

264
00:11:10,445 --> 00:11:12,895
So instead of creating
a brand new full spread,

265
00:11:12,895 --> 00:11:16,065
like double page, and
breaking down all the goals,

266
00:11:16,065 --> 00:11:17,935
what I actually wanted
to do for the spread

267
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,890
is kind of check in and see how far along

268
00:11:20,890 --> 00:11:23,500
I've been on the goals
that I initially set

269
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:24,710
at the beginning of the year

270
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:25,960
and whether I wanna set new ones.

271
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,430
So I have divided this
page up into four sections.

272
00:11:29,430 --> 00:11:32,250
I have my work goals, personal goals.

273
00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:33,370
I have affirmations.

274
00:11:33,461 --> 00:11:35,441
And then I also have manifestations,

275
00:11:35,441 --> 00:11:37,911
similar to the spread that I did

276
00:11:37,911 --> 00:11:38,744
at the beginning of the year,

277
00:11:38,744 --> 00:11:40,751
except this time I added these columns

278
00:11:40,751 --> 00:11:42,730
on the right side, as you can see.

279
00:11:42,730 --> 00:11:44,981
And basically each individual column

280
00:11:44,981 --> 00:11:48,831
represents whether I completed that goal,

281
00:11:48,831 --> 00:11:51,320
whether I'm still in
progress of that goal,

282
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,320
or whether it's a new goal.

283
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,030
Maybe I want to write
down a new goal under one.

284
00:11:57,030 --> 00:12:00,120
So I've written a column to indicate that.

285
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,650
And I think it's a good way to look back

286
00:12:02,650 --> 00:12:04,210
at your beginning of the year goals

287
00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:07,210
and see where you are at at this moment.

288
00:12:07,210 --> 00:12:09,300
On the other side of this spread,

289
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:11,220
I have my content planner.

290
00:12:11,220 --> 00:12:13,420
This time, I'm actually
just going to be doing

291
00:12:13,420 --> 00:12:15,310
kind of like a brain dump section.

292
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:18,730
So I have YouTube and TikTok,
which is the two platforms

293
00:12:18,730 --> 00:12:22,330
that I've been focusing
on a lot more recently.

294
00:12:22,330 --> 00:12:24,760
And they're the platforms
that I really need

295
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,640
a lot more planning space for ideas.

296
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,130
So I just have a little
brain dump section there

297
00:12:29,130 --> 00:12:32,200
for whenever I have something
that I wanna jot down.

298
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,050
At the beginning of the year,

299
00:12:33,050 --> 00:12:34,850
I had a more intense content planner

300
00:12:34,850 --> 00:12:37,360
where I had charts to signify

301
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,880
like whether I was editing the video,

302
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,640
whether it's been posted, all of that.

303
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,070
But if you've watched
my Notion set up video

304
00:12:44,070 --> 00:12:45,930
where I compare Notion
to bullet journaling,

305
00:12:45,930 --> 00:12:48,670
you'll see that a lot
of the content planning

306
00:12:48,670 --> 00:12:51,490
is now done on Notion digitally,

307
00:12:51,490 --> 00:12:54,170
just 'cause it's easier for me
to communicate with my team.

308
00:12:54,170 --> 00:12:57,120
So that's why all I need
in this bullet journal

309
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,930
is just a place for me to jot down ideas.

310
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,220
So moving on to the next spread,

311
00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:04,790
which is my things to check out spread,

312
00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:06,540
I wrote this cute title that just says,

313
00:13:06,540 --> 00:13:08,063
hey, you, check it out.

314
00:13:09,091 --> 00:13:13,181
And I'm actually splitting
this up into more sections

315
00:13:13,181 --> 00:13:14,271
than I normally would.

316
00:13:14,271 --> 00:13:15,561
In the past, I've just done four

317
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:18,774
where I've had like TV shows,
books, movies, all of that.

318
00:13:19,374 --> 00:13:22,334
But as you can see, I cut
out a panel on the right side

319
00:13:22,401 --> 00:13:25,081
because I actually wanted six sections.

320
00:13:25,125 --> 00:13:27,505
Recently, I've been
really getting into anime,

321
00:13:27,527 --> 00:13:30,667
K-dramas and books and all of that.

322
00:13:30,667 --> 00:13:35,393
So I wanted to separate out TV
shows into further sections.

323
00:13:35,393 --> 00:13:37,863
So I have K-dramas. I
have animes, TV shows,

324
00:13:37,863 --> 00:13:42,063
movies, books, and audio,
which is just like podcasts

325
00:13:42,107 --> 00:13:45,057
or whether there's specific
guided meditation tracks

326
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,140
that I want to check out.

327
00:13:47,162 --> 00:13:48,602
So then on the next spread,

328
00:13:48,868 --> 00:13:53,518
I have my Shop AmandaRachLee
kind of main ideas page,

329
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,460
another sort of like
dashboard landing page

330
00:13:56,619 --> 00:13:58,569
in the beginning of my notebook.

331
00:13:58,569 --> 00:14:02,089
So as you can see, on the left
side of that smaller flap,

332
00:14:02,089 --> 00:14:04,499
I have this column that says Future Ideas.

333
00:14:04,499 --> 00:14:06,729
And that's just where I
list out any ideas I have,

334
00:14:06,729 --> 00:14:08,329
whether they're small or large,

335
00:14:08,329 --> 00:14:10,069
something that I wanna launch or work on.

336
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:11,479
And then on the right side,

337
00:14:11,479 --> 00:14:13,909
I've split it up into four sections.

338
00:14:13,909 --> 00:14:15,087
I have Q3,

339
00:14:15,087 --> 00:14:16,729
Q4, Q1 and Q2,

340
00:14:16,729 --> 00:14:19,779
which is just the third
quarter, the fourth quarter,

341
00:14:19,779 --> 00:14:21,509
the first quarter and second quarter.

342
00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:25,199
And what I do is I will take
any of those small ideas,

343
00:14:25,199 --> 00:14:27,529
those things that I've
jotted down on the left side

344
00:14:27,529 --> 00:14:29,899
and move them into the general timeline

345
00:14:29,899 --> 00:14:32,759
once I figured out when
I want to launch those.

346
00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:34,969
So that's just a little look
into the behind the scenes

347
00:14:34,969 --> 00:14:39,212
of how I plan out my launches
for Shop AmandaRachLee.

348
00:14:40,168 --> 00:14:41,948
Next up, we have my package checker.

349
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,540
This is something that I implemented

350
00:14:43,540 --> 00:14:44,552
at the beginning of this year.

351
00:14:44,668 --> 00:14:47,268
It was a new spread that I had never done.

352
00:14:47,268 --> 00:14:49,598
And I found it so, so helpful.

353
00:14:49,598 --> 00:14:51,748
Although the beginning of the year one

354
00:14:51,748 --> 00:14:53,778
kind of filled up quickly
so then I sort of switched

355
00:14:53,778 --> 00:14:56,018
into doing monthly package checkers,

356
00:14:56,018 --> 00:14:58,238
which I might continue doing.

357
00:14:58,238 --> 00:14:59,378
So I have that,

358
00:14:59,378 --> 00:15:01,628
where I just have the
item that I've ordered,

359
00:15:01,628 --> 00:15:02,668
the date that I purchased it,

360
00:15:02,668 --> 00:15:05,378
whether it's been sent, and
whether it's been received.

361
00:15:05,378 --> 00:15:06,568
And then on the right side,

362
00:15:06,568 --> 00:15:09,448
I just have my wishlist and my gift list.

363
00:15:09,448 --> 00:15:10,918
My wishlist is just for things

364
00:15:10,918 --> 00:15:13,167
that I have been meaning to purchase,

365
00:15:13,167 --> 00:15:16,117
if it's on my shopping
list, things like that.

366
00:15:16,294 --> 00:15:20,054
And then my gift list is
when I have ideas for things

367
00:15:20,054 --> 00:15:22,964
that I want to gift to people,
like for my family members,

368
00:15:23,075 --> 00:15:25,078
for Christmas or for their birthdays.

369
00:15:30,538 --> 00:15:31,371
Alright, guys.

370
00:15:31,371 --> 00:15:32,204
So here's the flip through

371
00:15:32,204 --> 00:15:35,108
for my brand new bullet journal
setup in the new notebook.

372
00:15:35,108 --> 00:15:38,098
It's always exciting to switch
into a brand new notebook.

373
00:15:38,098 --> 00:15:39,758
By the way, in case you didn't notice,

374
00:15:39,758 --> 00:15:41,938
I filmed this on two days,
which was why my nails changed,

375
00:15:41,938 --> 00:15:43,938
but like, look at how cute
my strawberry nails are.

376
00:15:43,938 --> 00:15:45,308
Just wanted to point those out.

377
00:15:45,308 --> 00:15:46,918
Hope you enjoyed the setup again,

378
00:15:46,918 --> 00:15:50,158
I'll leave the previous year's setups

379
00:15:50,158 --> 00:15:51,478
in the description box below

380
00:15:51,478 --> 00:15:53,721
in case you want any more inspiration.

381
00:15:57,134 --> 00:15:58,414
Alright, guys. So
that's it for this video.

382
00:15:58,548 --> 00:16:01,038
I hope you enjoyed seeing
my new bullet journal setup

383
00:16:01,038 --> 00:16:03,661
for the second half of 2021.

384
00:16:04,172 --> 00:16:06,182
I already feel excited to use it.

385
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,290
I feel like whenever I
set up a new notebook

386
00:16:08,290 --> 00:16:11,729
and a new bullet journal, it
kind of like refreshes my mind

387
00:16:11,729 --> 00:16:14,929
and keeps me motivated for
the second half of the year.

388
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,780
So again, as I mentioned,

389
00:16:16,780 --> 00:16:18,990
if you are still in need
of any more inspiration,

390
00:16:18,990 --> 00:16:21,390
I'm gonna link all of
the other setup videos,

391
00:16:21,390 --> 00:16:24,570
mid-year setup videos that I've
done in the past down below.

392
00:16:24,570 --> 00:16:27,410
Thank you again to Aura for
sponsoring today's video.

393
00:16:27,521 --> 00:16:30,381
And I will talk to you
guys in the next video.

394
00:16:30,381 --> 00:16:31,394
Keep doodling, bye.

395
00:16:36,443 --> 00:16:39,026
(mellow music)
