After an amazing summer, September is here and I couldn't be happier! I've got a brand new Bullet Journal to play with (I've chosen the orange one this time) and a new monthly set up. :)

This month I started my layout with a page to welcome the new month. I chose an autumn theme with leaves and acorns (even though it's burning hot here in Cyprus!).

For my monthly spread, I decided to go back to one of my favourites that I used in the past. On the left page is a monthly log, where I note down any birthdays, holidays, events or appointments planned for this month, and on the right page I write all the tasks I need to do and all the goals I want to achieve this month (I'm still thinking through all the things I want to add in this section, so it looks a bit bare right now). At the bottom of the page I made a section for next month's plans, as well as an October mini calendar.

Moving to the next page, I started again my gratitude spread. I loved it when I was doing that before, but during the summer I just didn't have the time for it. But now that I'm back, I thought to add it in my September spread.

The last part of my layout for September is my weekly spread. It starts on the 5th, since I already had a weekly spread set up in my previous bullet journal for the first 4 days of the month.

On the left page I am using a layout I had before, with two columns: one for events/appointmens and one for my blogging tasks. On the right page, I'm trying something a bit different for this week and I really hope that it works for me, cause I love the way it looks. I created a section for my housework in the form of a tracker. I was inspired by the lovely Helen  @helencolebrook (don't forget to visit her website as well!).

I wrote all the housework tasks for this week and created columns for each day of the week, so that it's easier visually to see what needs to be done each day. In those columns, I added some dots when these tasks should take place during the week. - is for only if it's needed and the colourful dots show me what type of laundry I need to do that day. :) Once I finish each one of the tasks, I'll simply put an X on it.

I've also included sections for my Morning Routine, that I really want to come back into, Notes, my weekly Meals as well as a section for what to do Next Week. I've also added a section for the things I want to achieve This Week - personally as well as for the blog. I love this part, because it helps me focus and plan ahead my week.

Lastly, there's always a two page spread for the Instagram #doodlewithus challenge, but right now I haven't drawn anything on it ;) If you want more information about the challenge, have a look at this post.

I love the way everything looks and I can't wait to start filling things in! Have you tried anything new in your bullet journal for this month?
