00:00:00.311 --> 00:00:02.894
(mellow music)

00:00:10.930 --> 00:00:14.060
- Hello everyone. It's Amanda.
Welcome back to my channel.

00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:16.170
Today's the day, since it is June,

00:00:16.170 --> 00:00:19.210
we are wrapping up the
first six months of 2021

00:00:19.210 --> 00:00:21.350
which means that I am almost at the end

00:00:21.350 --> 00:00:22.860
of my current bullet journal.

00:00:22.860 --> 00:00:25.590
To be exact, I think I
have about five pages left.

00:00:25.590 --> 00:00:28.830
So today I'm gonna be switching
into a brand new notebook,

00:00:28.830 --> 00:00:30.230
setting all of that up.

00:00:30.230 --> 00:00:33.290
By the way, if you're
confused as to where I am,

00:00:33.290 --> 00:00:35.510
because I'm not in my regular background

00:00:35.510 --> 00:00:37.030
or my regular apartment,

00:00:37.030 --> 00:00:38.930
you probably haven't seen my update video.

00:00:38.930 --> 00:00:41.470
I recommend you check
that out if you're curious

00:00:41.470 --> 00:00:42.590
or if you have any questions,

00:00:42.590 --> 00:00:45.920
but yes, I'm not in
Toronto or my apartment,

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:47.310
which is kind of perfect for this video

00:00:47.310 --> 00:00:50.500
because it's new bullet journal, new city,

00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:52.550
fresh start, all of that.

00:00:52.550 --> 00:00:55.180
I'm gonna be switching
into this guy right here.

00:00:55.180 --> 00:00:56.130
I chose this color.

00:00:56.130 --> 00:00:59.190
This is the slate gray
from Shop AmandaRachLee,

00:00:59.190 --> 00:01:00.790
the new collection that we just launched.

00:01:00.790 --> 00:01:03.380
It has the nice colored edges.

00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:04.850
I feel like my bullet journals

00:01:04.850 --> 00:01:06.950
always have kind of a color scheme.

00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:09.080
Like last year, both of them were blue.

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:12.300
This year, we're going dark and sleek.

00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:16.760
So that's what I'm going
to be switching into today.

00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.330
We're gonna be cracking
open the new notebook,

00:01:19.330 --> 00:01:21.930
which is always so satisfying.

00:01:21.930 --> 00:01:25.576
Like just hearing the spine crack.

00:01:25.576 --> 00:01:27.660
(spine cracks)
Oh yeah.

00:01:27.660 --> 00:01:28.660
So I'm gonna be showing you guys

00:01:28.660 --> 00:01:31.000
what I'm transferring over
into this bullet journal.

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.730
All of these spreads, all of that.

00:01:32.730 --> 00:01:35.800
If you're also switching into
a new bullet journal soon,

00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:37.320
then let me know in the comments.

00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:40.680
Also, I've done about four
of these videos before,

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.180
one for every year that I bullet journaled

00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:44.410
because I always kind of
switch into a new notebook

00:01:44.410 --> 00:01:45.310
around this time of the year.

00:01:45.310 --> 00:01:47.790
So if you still need some more inspiration

00:01:47.790 --> 00:01:50.660
after watching this one, I'll
link all of those down below.

00:01:50.660 --> 00:01:54.010
But I just kind of wanna get
started in the new notebook.

00:01:54.010 --> 00:01:55.740
So let's go.

00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:58.600
Okay, so it's that time, time
to switch into a new notebook.

00:01:58.600 --> 00:02:02.100
This notebook has done me well
for the first half of 2021.

00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:04.480
Definitely have filled it
up with some fun spreads,

00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.940
and a lot of memories, but
we're moving on to a new one.

00:02:08.940 --> 00:02:11.100
Thank you, next, if you will.

00:02:11.100 --> 00:02:12.620
This, for the second half of the year,

00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:15.740
I'm using the slate gray Shop
AmandaRachLee dotted notebook

00:02:15.740 --> 00:02:16.680
with the colored edge.

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.200
I'm obsessed with the colored edge.

00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:20.570
By the way, I'll leave
a little coupon code

00:02:20.570 --> 00:02:23.530
in case you are looking for a new notebook

00:02:23.530 --> 00:02:24.700
for the second half of the year

00:02:24.700 --> 00:02:26.950
and you wanna grab the same one as mine.

00:02:26.950 --> 00:02:27.940
You wanna twin with me.

00:02:27.940 --> 00:02:31.490
So check it out in the
description box down below.

00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:34.910
But let's open it up into the name page.

00:02:34.910 --> 00:02:36.480
You guys know this is like,

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:37.690
I feel like this is the best part

00:02:37.690 --> 00:02:39.660
about opening up a new blank notebook

00:02:39.660 --> 00:02:42.690
is just like cracking open that spine.

00:02:42.690 --> 00:02:46.780
Hearing the sound, and then
just writing that first word.

00:02:46.780 --> 00:02:48.510
So I'm just writing my name.

00:02:48.510 --> 00:02:51.870
By the way, just as a
warning for this video,

00:02:51.870 --> 00:02:55.420
I don't have my usual lighting
setup in Vancouver with me.

00:02:55.420 --> 00:02:57.900
So if the lighting changes a lot,

00:02:57.900 --> 00:03:01.220
or if it's not as clear it
usually is in my other videos,

00:03:01.220 --> 00:03:04.000
that's why I wish I could have brought

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.023
all the lighting stuff, but
you know, it is what it is.

00:03:07.023 --> 00:03:09.100
I just thought I would
try to get this video up

00:03:09.100 --> 00:03:10.590
as best as I could.

00:03:10.590 --> 00:03:13.000
So the first spread that
I am transferring over

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.460
in to my new bullet journal is,

00:03:15.460 --> 00:03:18.720
of course, my handy-dandy
grid space guide.

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:20.950
You guys know I always use this

00:03:20.950 --> 00:03:24.300
and I always put it on the very
first page on the left side,

00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:26.630
which makes it really
easy for me to flip to

00:03:26.630 --> 00:03:28.020
whenever I'm creating a spread

00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:32.390
and I want to reference
any grid spacing dilemmas.

00:03:32.390 --> 00:03:34.720
If you're curious as to
how I use this spread,

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:36.420
because I always get so many questions

00:03:36.420 --> 00:03:38.770
about grid spacing guides and all of that,

00:03:38.770 --> 00:03:40.350
I will leave a video that I did

00:03:40.350 --> 00:03:42.630
actually explaining how I use this,

00:03:42.630 --> 00:03:45.000
but I just did the exact same setup

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:46.783
as the first half of the year.

00:04:00.276 --> 00:04:01.810
Before I show you guys
the rest of the spreads,

00:04:01.810 --> 00:04:04.600
I wanted to quickly think Aura
for sponsoring today's video.

00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:06.260
If you guys haven't heard of Aura yet,

00:04:06.260 --> 00:04:08.980
Aura is an Apple
award-winning all-in-one-app

00:04:08.980 --> 00:04:11.220
for mental wellbeing and sleep.

00:04:11.220 --> 00:04:14.050
Other self-care apps usually
offer a one size fits all approach,

00:04:14.050 --> 00:04:17.220
but with Aura, they offer a
holistic, personalized library

00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:18.760
of mental wellbeing resources

00:04:18.760 --> 00:04:21.290
that are tailored to fit your needs.

00:04:21.290 --> 00:04:24.140
They already have a community
of over 5 million people

00:04:24.140 --> 00:04:27.100
and they have over
5,000 customized tracks.

00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:31.210
97% of first-time users
reported a improvement

00:04:31.210 --> 00:04:33.310
after just three days of using the app.

00:04:33.310 --> 00:04:34.143
I love Aura.

00:04:34.143 --> 00:04:35.170
I recently started using it,

00:04:35.170 --> 00:04:37.490
and I think it's a really
awesome resource for you guys.

00:04:37.490 --> 00:04:39.880
We always talk about mental
health here on the channel.

00:04:39.880 --> 00:04:41.510
And I think bullet journaling,

00:04:41.510 --> 00:04:43.700
and journaling kind of goes
hand-in-hand with that.

00:04:43.700 --> 00:04:45.940
So Aura is a really awesome resource

00:04:45.940 --> 00:04:47.490
for any of you who wanna try it out.

00:04:47.490 --> 00:04:48.960
How it works is you just go on their app.

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:50.330
You take their quick assessment

00:04:50.330 --> 00:04:53.070
so that they can find
out what your needs are

00:04:53.070 --> 00:04:55.020
and it'll automatically help you discover

00:04:55.020 --> 00:04:56.720
personalized tracks for you to listen to.

00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.630
And from there, you can
tailor it even more,

00:04:58.630 --> 00:05:01.440
and find your favorite coaches
that you wanna listen to,

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:02.710
create playlists,

00:05:02.710 --> 00:05:05.270
and explore all of the
new content on there.

00:05:05.270 --> 00:05:09.500
It's kind of like having a
Spotify for your mind and soul.

00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:11.260
They have all different types of tracks,

00:05:11.260 --> 00:05:13.270
whether you only have
five minutes to spare,

00:05:13.270 --> 00:05:15.790
or an hour, you'll definitely
be able to find something.

00:05:15.790 --> 00:05:19.680
There's guided meditations.
There is life coaching.

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.760
There is relaxing stories.

00:05:21.760 --> 00:05:23.090
My favorite section of the app

00:05:23.090 --> 00:05:24.600
is definitely the guided meditation app,

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.160
which I've talked about briefly before,

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.810
but I've been really
into guided meditation.

00:05:28.810 --> 00:05:32.400
It really helps me turn
off the rest of the world,

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:35.360
Especially if I just have
a quick, like 10 minutes.

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:36.193
You can kind of choose

00:05:36.193 --> 00:05:39.870
depending on how long of a
guided meditation you want,

00:05:39.870 --> 00:05:42.090
and what your goals for
that meditation are.

00:05:42.090 --> 00:05:43.420
Also, if I'm not in the mood

00:05:43.420 --> 00:05:45.140
for a full-on guided meditation,

00:05:45.140 --> 00:05:47.720
I really like that I can
just pop in my headphones,

00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.480
and listen to an
inspiring, motivating story

00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.160
kind of while I'm working
or while I'm drawing.

00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.640
I'm gonna leave the name of
my favorite meditation tracks

00:05:57.640 --> 00:05:59.920
on the screen right now, in
case you guys are curious.

00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:01.640
So if you do wanna try Aura for yourself,

00:06:01.640 --> 00:06:04.770
the first 500 people to click
the link in my description box

00:06:04.770 --> 00:06:07.890
will get a free
seven-day-trial of the Aura app

00:06:07.890 --> 00:06:10.880
and 25% off your first year subscription.

00:06:11.613 --> 00:06:13.673
I was really excited when they
reached out to work with me

00:06:13.673 --> 00:06:17.333
because I just love their
app and what they do.

00:06:17.333 --> 00:06:19.713
So thank you to Aura for
sponsoring today's video.

00:06:19.713 --> 00:06:23.193
But with that being
said, back to the video.

00:06:23.193 --> 00:06:24.993
A lot of the spreads
that I make in this video

00:06:24.993 --> 00:06:26.323
are going to be very similar

00:06:26.323 --> 00:06:29.213
to the very beginning of the year set up,

00:06:29.213 --> 00:06:32.093
just because I like to keep
some sort of consistency

00:06:32.093 --> 00:06:35.563
amongst my bullet journals,
at least for the year.

00:06:35.563 --> 00:06:38.887
So that's why you'll see a
lot of repeating spreads.

00:06:38.887 --> 00:06:42.177
The only thing that I did
change is the color palette.

00:06:42.431 --> 00:06:44.141
Part of this is because I didn't bring

00:06:44.141 --> 00:06:46.461
all my markers with me to Vancouver,

00:06:46.461 --> 00:06:48.431
to a new city, because
that would be insane.

00:06:48.431 --> 00:06:51.141
Imagine if I brought
1,000 markers with me.

00:06:51.141 --> 00:06:53.721
But also I thought that could
be like the fun switch up

00:06:53.721 --> 00:06:57.551
for the new notebook, is just
changing the color palette.

00:06:57.551 --> 00:06:59.661
On the right side of this spread,

00:06:59.751 --> 00:07:01.761
I just created a little quote page,

00:07:01.761 --> 00:07:04.131
and it says the best is yet to come.

00:07:04.131 --> 00:07:06.891
Again, I'm using those
kind of pastel colors

00:07:06.891 --> 00:07:09.621
and also this thin bubble letter font

00:07:09.621 --> 00:07:11.601
that I use throughout this setup,

00:07:11.601 --> 00:07:14.281
as well as the beginning
of the year set up

00:07:14.281 --> 00:07:17.351
that I did early in January, 2021.

00:07:17.351 --> 00:07:18.861
So I thought it was pretty cute.

00:07:18.861 --> 00:07:23.561
I have the little bubbles, I
also have some crosshatching,

00:07:23.561 --> 00:07:26.321
those like diagonal lines,
which I think makes it pop.

00:07:26.321 --> 00:07:27.941
You know, we love a drop shadow.

00:07:27.941 --> 00:07:29.711
I know it's been a while
since I've said that,

00:07:29.711 --> 00:07:31.241
but I'm still loyal.

00:07:31.241 --> 00:07:33.331
I still love drop shadows. (laughs)

00:07:33.331 --> 00:07:34.691
Oh yeah, and then I just finished it off

00:07:34.691 --> 00:07:36.531
with the Shop AmandaRachLee,

00:07:36.531 --> 00:07:39.431
I think this is the light
neutral Washi Tape set,

00:07:39.431 --> 00:07:41.221
which by the way, we're
working on restocking.

00:07:41.221 --> 00:07:42.221
So don't worry.

00:07:42.221 --> 00:07:43.541
And then moving on to the next spread,

00:07:43.541 --> 00:07:46.421
we have my future log,
which basically just has all

00:07:46.421 --> 00:07:49.021
of the future months for the rest of 2021,

00:07:49.021 --> 00:07:51.631
so July through to December.

00:07:51.631 --> 00:07:56.631
And in the old bullet journal,
the one that I just used,

00:07:56.631 --> 00:07:58.181
I did like this file folder thing,

00:07:58.181 --> 00:08:00.131
because I had all of the months.

00:08:00.131 --> 00:08:03.631
But since there's only six
months for this spread,

00:08:03.631 --> 00:08:06.301
I divided each page into three columns.

00:08:06.301 --> 00:08:09.011
And that's how I fit the calendar spread.

00:08:09.011 --> 00:08:11.231
Also in terms of the pens
and supplies that I'm using,

00:08:11.231 --> 00:08:12.511
I'm gonna link them down below

00:08:12.511 --> 00:08:16.591
but the markers are pretty
much all Zebra Mildliners.

00:08:16.591 --> 00:08:18.901
The very thin pen that I'm using,

00:08:18.901 --> 00:08:20.431
usually I would use a fine liner,

00:08:20.431 --> 00:08:22.561
but because I wanted it to be super thin,

00:08:22.561 --> 00:08:25.271
especially for when I'm doing
those diagonal drop shadows,

00:08:25.271 --> 00:08:28.201
I'm actually using my
all-time favorite gel pen

00:08:28.201 --> 00:08:31.596
which is the Uni-ball Signo 0.38 Gel Pen.

00:08:31.596 --> 00:08:34.421
And otherwise, I'm just using the classic

00:08:34.421 --> 00:08:39.191
Sakura pigment microns,
typically in 0.3 or 0.2,

00:08:39.191 --> 00:08:40.221
especially when I'm trying

00:08:40.221 --> 00:08:43.881
to get really small numbers like this.

00:08:43.881 --> 00:08:46.731
But yeah, so I'm just writing
out the mini-calendars,

00:08:46.731 --> 00:08:48.841
making sure that I don't
mess up any numbers,

00:08:48.841 --> 00:08:50.971
because I'm traumatized.

00:08:51.268 --> 00:08:54.368
There's one year where
I messed up the numbers

00:08:54.368 --> 00:08:57.258
and it kind of affected
the rest of the months.

00:08:57.258 --> 00:09:00.898
So I had to redo all of the
mini-calendars. (laughs)

00:09:00.898 --> 00:09:02.208
That was a very traumatizing year.

00:09:02.208 --> 00:09:04.298
So you live and you learn.

00:09:04.298 --> 00:09:06.108
Now I always double-check

00:09:06.108 --> 00:09:09.588
so that I don't need to
fix anything, but yes,

00:09:09.588 --> 00:09:12.998
I have July through December,
and then underneath it

00:09:12.998 --> 00:09:15.728
I left space for me to
write out any events.

00:09:15.728 --> 00:09:17.528
And then I just decorated the rest

00:09:17.528 --> 00:09:20.108
of the spread with any
doodles, Washi Tapes.

00:09:20.219 --> 00:09:21.602
And there we go.

00:09:32.681 --> 00:09:36.281
So the next spread that I'm
doing is my 2021 highlight reel,

00:09:36.281 --> 00:09:39.191
which is actually where
I just put my Polaroids

00:09:39.347 --> 00:09:40.417
for the month.

00:09:40.417 --> 00:09:41.507
I think it's pretty cool

00:09:41.507 --> 00:09:43.527
that I've been doing this type of spread

00:09:43.527 --> 00:09:48.277
for the past three,
three-ish years, I think.

00:09:48.277 --> 00:09:49.257
It's just one of those things

00:09:49.257 --> 00:09:51.067
where I think it's gonna be really special

00:09:51.067 --> 00:09:54.577
to look back on when I flip
through my bullet journals

00:09:54.577 --> 00:09:58.917
as an old person, just
reminiscing on the times,

00:09:58.917 --> 00:10:01.207
and you can kind of
see what you were doing

00:10:01.207 --> 00:10:04.037
at each month during that year.

00:10:04.037 --> 00:10:06.277
I just traced out a Polaroid that I have

00:10:06.277 --> 00:10:09.117
and I fit six, one for each month.

00:10:09.117 --> 00:10:12.397
And I just outlined that
little rectangular shape.

00:10:12.397 --> 00:10:13.707
You guys always ask me about

00:10:13.707 --> 00:10:16.307
like what Polaroid printer I use,

00:10:16.307 --> 00:10:19.277
because you know, when you're
living life in the moment,

00:10:19.277 --> 00:10:20.807
sometimes you don't carry around

00:10:20.807 --> 00:10:22.547
your Polaroid camera with you.

00:10:22.547 --> 00:10:25.967
So I actually do use a Polaroid
printer for most of these

00:10:25.967 --> 00:10:28.517
so that I can go through the pictures

00:10:28.517 --> 00:10:29.517
that I've taken for the month

00:10:29.517 --> 00:10:30.867
and print out my favorite memory

00:10:30.867 --> 00:10:32.687
for this highlight reel spread.

00:10:32.687 --> 00:10:36.070
I use the Fuji film in Stacks Share,

00:10:37.062 --> 00:10:39.552
just in case any of you guys are curious.

00:10:39.685 --> 00:10:40.895
Those ones are really good

00:10:40.895 --> 00:10:43.165
because you can just print
it out after the fact

00:10:43.165 --> 00:10:44.145
and you don't need to worry about

00:10:44.145 --> 00:10:46.695
carrying your instant camera everywhere.

00:10:46.695 --> 00:10:49.425
All right. So moving
on to the next spread.

00:10:49.425 --> 00:10:53.175
I think this is my mid-year goal check-in

00:10:53.175 --> 00:10:56.705
so at the beginning of the
year for my January setups,

00:10:56.705 --> 00:10:58.835
I do a lot of goal setting spreads

00:10:58.835 --> 00:11:00.405
just because it's the
beginning of the year.

00:11:00.405 --> 00:11:02.175
You have New Year's resolutions.

00:11:02.175 --> 00:11:05.085
I don't like to do as
intense of a goal setup

00:11:05.085 --> 00:11:06.505
for the middle of the year

00:11:06.505 --> 00:11:08.165
when I'm switching into a new notebook

00:11:08.165 --> 00:11:10.445
but I do kind of like to
do a mid-year check-in.

00:11:10.445 --> 00:11:12.895
So instead of creating
a brand new full spread,

00:11:12.895 --> 00:11:16.065
like double page, and
breaking down all the goals,

00:11:16.065 --> 00:11:17.935
what I actually wanted
to do for the spread

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.890
is kind of check in and see how far along

00:11:20.890 --> 00:11:23.500
I've been on the goals
that I initially set

00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:24.710
at the beginning of the year

00:11:24.710 --> 00:11:25.960
and whether I wanna set new ones.

00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.430
So I have divided this
page up into four sections.

00:11:29.430 --> 00:11:32.250
I have my work goals, personal goals.

00:11:32.250 --> 00:11:33.370
I have affirmations.

00:11:33.461 --> 00:11:35.441
And then I also have manifestations,

00:11:35.441 --> 00:11:37.911
similar to the spread that I did

00:11:37.911 --> 00:11:38.744
at the beginning of the year,

00:11:38.744 --> 00:11:40.751
except this time I added these columns

00:11:40.751 --> 00:11:42.730
on the right side, as you can see.

00:11:42.730 --> 00:11:44.981
And basically each individual column

00:11:44.981 --> 00:11:48.831
represents whether I completed that goal,

00:11:48.831 --> 00:11:51.320
whether I'm still in
progress of that goal,

00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.320
or whether it's a new goal.

00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:57.030
Maybe I want to write
down a new goal under one.

00:11:57.030 --> 00:12:00.120
So I've written a column to indicate that.

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.650
And I think it's a good way to look back

00:12:02.650 --> 00:12:04.210
at your beginning of the year goals

00:12:04.210 --> 00:12:07.210
and see where you are at at this moment.

00:12:07.210 --> 00:12:09.300
On the other side of this spread,

00:12:09.300 --> 00:12:11.220
I have my content planner.

00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:13.420
This time, I'm actually
just going to be doing

00:12:13.420 --> 00:12:15.310
kind of like a brain dump section.

00:12:15.310 --> 00:12:18.730
So I have YouTube and TikTok,
which is the two platforms

00:12:18.730 --> 00:12:22.330
that I've been focusing
on a lot more recently.

00:12:22.330 --> 00:12:24.760
And they're the platforms
that I really need

00:12:24.760 --> 00:12:26.640
a lot more planning space for ideas.

00:12:26.640 --> 00:12:29.130
So I just have a little
brain dump section there

00:12:29.130 --> 00:12:32.200
for whenever I have something
that I wanna jot down.

00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:33.050
At the beginning of the year,

00:12:33.050 --> 00:12:34.850
I had a more intense content planner

00:12:34.850 --> 00:12:37.360
where I had charts to signify

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:38.880
like whether I was editing the video,

00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:40.640
whether it's been posted, all of that.

00:12:40.640 --> 00:12:44.070
But if you've watched
my Notion set up video

00:12:44.070 --> 00:12:45.930
where I compare Notion
to bullet journaling,

00:12:45.930 --> 00:12:48.670
you'll see that a lot
of the content planning

00:12:48.670 --> 00:12:51.490
is now done on Notion digitally,

00:12:51.490 --> 00:12:54.170
just 'cause it's easier for me
to communicate with my team.

00:12:54.170 --> 00:12:57.120
So that's why all I need
in this bullet journal

00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.930
is just a place for me to jot down ideas.

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.220
So moving on to the next spread,

00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:04.790
which is my things to check out spread,

00:13:04.790 --> 00:13:06.540
I wrote this cute title that just says,

00:13:06.540 --> 00:13:08.063
hey, you, check it out.

00:13:09.091 --> 00:13:13.181
And I'm actually splitting
this up into more sections

00:13:13.181 --> 00:13:14.271
than I normally would.

00:13:14.271 --> 00:13:15.561
In the past, I've just done four

00:13:15.561 --> 00:13:18.774
where I've had like TV shows,
books, movies, all of that.

00:13:19.374 --> 00:13:22.334
But as you can see, I cut
out a panel on the right side

00:13:22.401 --> 00:13:25.081
because I actually wanted six sections.

00:13:25.125 --> 00:13:27.505
Recently, I've been
really getting into anime,

00:13:27.527 --> 00:13:30.667
K-dramas and books and all of that.

00:13:30.667 --> 00:13:35.393
So I wanted to separate out TV
shows into further sections.

00:13:35.393 --> 00:13:37.863
So I have K-dramas. I
have animes, TV shows,

00:13:37.863 --> 00:13:42.063
movies, books, and audio,
which is just like podcasts

00:13:42.107 --> 00:13:45.057
or whether there's specific
guided meditation tracks

00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.140
that I want to check out.

00:13:47.162 --> 00:13:48.602
So then on the next spread,

00:13:48.868 --> 00:13:53.518
I have my Shop AmandaRachLee
kind of main ideas page,

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.460
another sort of like
dashboard landing page

00:13:56.619 --> 00:13:58.569
in the beginning of my notebook.

00:13:58.569 --> 00:14:02.089
So as you can see, on the left
side of that smaller flap,

00:14:02.089 --> 00:14:04.499
I have this column that says Future Ideas.

00:14:04.499 --> 00:14:06.729
And that's just where I
list out any ideas I have,

00:14:06.729 --> 00:14:08.329
whether they're small or large,

00:14:08.329 --> 00:14:10.069
something that I wanna launch or work on.

00:14:10.069 --> 00:14:11.479
And then on the right side,

00:14:11.479 --> 00:14:13.909
I've split it up into four sections.

00:14:13.909 --> 00:14:15.087
I have Q3,

00:14:15.087 --> 00:14:16.729
Q4, Q1 and Q2,

00:14:16.729 --> 00:14:19.779
which is just the third
quarter, the fourth quarter,

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:21.509
the first quarter and second quarter.

00:14:21.509 --> 00:14:25.199
And what I do is I will take
any of those small ideas,

00:14:25.199 --> 00:14:27.529
those things that I've
jotted down on the left side

00:14:27.529 --> 00:14:29.899
and move them into the general timeline

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:32.759
once I figured out when
I want to launch those.

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.969
So that's just a little look
into the behind the scenes

00:14:34.969 --> 00:14:39.212
of how I plan out my launches
for Shop AmandaRachLee.

00:14:40.168 --> 00:14:41.948
Next up, we have my package checker.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.540
This is something that I implemented

00:14:43.540 --> 00:14:44.552
at the beginning of this year.

00:14:44.668 --> 00:14:47.268
It was a new spread that I had never done.

00:14:47.268 --> 00:14:49.598
And I found it so, so helpful.

00:14:49.598 --> 00:14:51.748
Although the beginning of the year one

00:14:51.748 --> 00:14:53.778
kind of filled up quickly
so then I sort of switched

00:14:53.778 --> 00:14:56.018
into doing monthly package checkers,

00:14:56.018 --> 00:14:58.238
which I might continue doing.

00:14:58.238 --> 00:14:59.378
So I have that,

00:14:59.378 --> 00:15:01.628
where I just have the
item that I've ordered,

00:15:01.628 --> 00:15:02.668
the date that I purchased it,

00:15:02.668 --> 00:15:05.378
whether it's been sent, and
whether it's been received.

00:15:05.378 --> 00:15:06.568
And then on the right side,

00:15:06.568 --> 00:15:09.448
I just have my wishlist and my gift list.

00:15:09.448 --> 00:15:10.918
My wishlist is just for things

00:15:10.918 --> 00:15:13.167
that I have been meaning to purchase,

00:15:13.167 --> 00:15:16.117
if it's on my shopping
list, things like that.

00:15:16.294 --> 00:15:20.054
And then my gift list is
when I have ideas for things

00:15:20.054 --> 00:15:22.964
that I want to gift to people,
like for my family members,

00:15:23.075 --> 00:15:25.078
for Christmas or for their birthdays.

00:15:30.538 --> 00:15:31.371
Alright, guys.

00:15:31.371 --> 00:15:32.204
So here's the flip through

00:15:32.204 --> 00:15:35.108
for my brand new bullet journal
setup in the new notebook.

00:15:35.108 --> 00:15:38.098
It's always exciting to switch
into a brand new notebook.

00:15:38.098 --> 00:15:39.758
By the way, in case you didn't notice,

00:15:39.758 --> 00:15:41.938
I filmed this on two days,
which was why my nails changed,

00:15:41.938 --> 00:15:43.938
but like, look at how cute
my strawberry nails are.

00:15:43.938 --> 00:15:45.308
Just wanted to point those out.

00:15:45.308 --> 00:15:46.918
Hope you enjoyed the setup again,

00:15:46.918 --> 00:15:50.158
I'll leave the previous year's setups

00:15:50.158 --> 00:15:51.478
in the description box below

00:15:51.478 --> 00:15:53.721
in case you want any more inspiration.

00:15:57.134 --> 00:15:58.414
Alright, guys. So
that's it for this video.

00:15:58.548 --> 00:16:01.038
I hope you enjoyed seeing
my new bullet journal setup

00:16:01.038 --> 00:16:03.661
for the second half of 2021.

00:16:04.172 --> 00:16:06.182
I already feel excited to use it.

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.290
I feel like whenever I
set up a new notebook

00:16:08.290 --> 00:16:11.729
and a new bullet journal, it
kind of like refreshes my mind

00:16:11.729 --> 00:16:14.929
and keeps me motivated for
the second half of the year.

00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:16.780
So again, as I mentioned,

00:16:16.780 --> 00:16:18.990
if you are still in need
of any more inspiration,

00:16:18.990 --> 00:16:21.390
I'm gonna link all of
the other setup videos,

00:16:21.390 --> 00:16:24.570
mid-year setup videos that I've
done in the past down below.
