Review of January's Journaling Plan...

Hi friends!  I've just finished doing a review of my Journaling system for January and I want to share how it went with you...

I know I posted this before, but here is a copy of what my plan for January was...

              Types of Journals for January 2015:

Name	What it is	When	Format
Art Journal	Story of my life in words, images, art, photos, ephemera, etc. Includes workshop lessons and any thoughts about them.	One spread each day	Handbound Watercolor Journal
No Excuses Journal	Desk Diary format: Specific purposes for the monthly and weekly pages. Follows a monthly color theme	Daily, weekly & monthly entries based on NEA system.	Barnes & Noble Weekly Desk Diary
Bullet Journal	Master To Do list, Commonplace Book, Workshop and other Notes, Project Lists, logbook, etc. (monthly calendar in back pocket)	Daily if needed	Orange Leuchtturm 1917 Squared Notebook
Writing Journal	Evening Pages (stream of consciousness)	Daily if needed	Silver Maya Journal

Here's a pic of the journals...

Notice there are only three.  That's because I never got going with the writing journal.  I ended up doing my daily writing in my Book of Days.  The bottom (largest) one is my Book of Days aka Art Journal.  The middle one is my No Excuses Journal aka Barnes and Noble Desk Diary (I started to alter the cover but didn't finish).  The top one is my Bullet Journal.

Here's another view...

So, how did it go?

What went well...
Planning to review my goals at the end of the month was the best thing ever.  I've realized that my attention span seems to be about one month.  Ha.  Now I can feel like I did well with my goals, and it's okay to change them up if I want to!  Yeayyy!!!

In the Art Journal:
I didn't quite make my goal of one spread everyday, but I came close.  I think I missed four days, so my book was actually filled on February 4th instead of January 31st.  That's totally fine with me.

Planner Journal:
Filled the January pages completely.

Bullet Journal:
Worked great.  Used it when I needed to, but didn't obsess over it. I know I haven't shared anything about this journal yet.  I will do a post on it soon for you. 

I have a new plan for February.  Some things will stay the same and some things will change.  I'm loving this evolving system!

How about you?  If you journal, how did your system go in January?  How many journals are you using, and what are they each for?  I am always soooo interested to hear how other artists are doing this.

Tomorrow I will be back and share my new system with you.  Thanks so much for visiting!  I appreciate you!
