For 2020 I decided to make my bullet journal more cohesive compared to how I have designed it in the past. While doing this I have come up with a few different ways to make all types of spreads be cohesive. In this blog post I will give ideas with explanations and images for how you to can create a yearly bullet journal that is cohesive from beginning to end.
Theme
My first suggestion is to have a theme for the whole calendar year. For 2020 I chose the theme of minimal black and white with an accent of grey highlights. A theme like this helps to have a majority of the bullet journal look cohesive when you look over the whole notebook. When it comes to a theme for a whole year I would stick to something broad and not specific. This allows for the theme to be used in a variety of different ways and for all types of spreads.
Weekly Spread Elements
My next suggestion is to have an element that you include in all of your weekly spreads. For me this is the same "What I Ate" (food tracker) section for all weekly spreads. Because I use GoodNotes to plan, I am able to copy and paste this element into each of my weekly spreads. My suggestion for this is to have a simple element that can easily be used in all types of weekly spreads. As you can see in the image below I used a simple font so that it would go with a variety of other fonts that I might use in the rest of the weekly spread. If you don't track your food then other elements that you could use are: a small monthly calendar, a weekly or daily habit trackers, weekly to do list, note section or even to buy list. The image below has even more ideas.
