So last month I read a total of 11 books. For this month, My goal is to read another 11 books, whether it be physical books, e-books, or audio books ( which gets me through my work day.)
Most of the books I read are romance, fantasy, or very very much smut. My favorites this year have been Onyx Storm, the Edge of Darkness trilogy, and Blood of Hercules.
So as I have previously wrote on here that I like to bullet journal. Well this year I added something to help me keep track of my reading and how much I read. So, I’m going to break it down here as well. 🙃
Books read this month: 11 books
Pages read this month: 2,230 pgs
Books bought this month: 0
Books Borrowed this month: 3
Paperbacks: 4
Hardcovers: 1
Met goals this month: Yes
E-books: 6
Wow! That is a lot of books read for 1 month! Do you think I can beat 11 books for the month of Feb?
I started a bullet this year and I wanted to share with you what the monthly spread and what is in my yearly spread as well.
Monthly:
I wanted to show you an empty month to show what the month all shows.
Calendar: When I do the monthly calendar I always make sure that it goes from Sunday to Saturday. I use this for important things for the month, like doctor appointments, things for my kids, etc.
Mood: I was diagnosed with ADHD and Depression a few years ago. I wanted something to track what days I have rough or bad days compared to if the coincide with what days I don’t take my meds by accident.
Water Intake: Part of my health and fitness goal is to drink more water and this helps me visualize how much I drink in a day.
Sleep: I wanted to try to see if I can keep track of my sleep so that I know what time is better to go so sleep compared to how I used to run only on 3-4 hrs of sleep. I want to have a better sleep schedule.
Meds: I take meds for my depression and ADHD as well as many multivitamins. I think having this will help me be more accountable for myself and my meds.
Highlight of the Day: This is something I wanted to do just to look back at the end of the month and see what happened each day that I considered to be a highlight of the day.
Yearly Spreads:
I have many different spreads for the yearly spreads. I want to share with you what I have.
I have spreads for my daily steps for my health and fitness.
Spreads for the books of the bible that I have read during the year.
Since I work from home I wanted to see how many calls I take in a day and which days are more busy for me.
Since I have a reading goal this is what I have for yearly spreads for that goal.
Year in Pixels was something I always wanted to do if I got back into bullet journaling.
Social Media is something that I always wanted to track but I might have to switch TikTok to this blog if TikTok does get banned.
Ideas for 2026 Bujo spread is just a place where I can organize my next bujo much better than that one I have now.
Question for the readers: Do you have something like this that helps you make it through the year? If so what do you put in it?
So with the new year starting I want to talk about what goals I have set for myself this year. I’ve put it into different sections of my life. I am also going to use the S.M.A.R.T goals to help me focus on my goals.
I will break them down the goals into categories that represent me and my life. I want to be an inspiration to others and also motivate myself to continue to grow throughout the year.
I have created a bullet journal to keep myself accountable and to also keep track of all of my goals that I have planned.

My support people:
During the year I have many people who are there to support me throughout this journey through all of my goals. The main people are my fiancé, my kids, my mother, and I have many friends who are there to help me keep motivated as well as keep me going through the day and through the year to help me achieve my goals.
Like I previously mentioned, I have started a bullet journal to help keep track of my goals as well as a way stay productive as well. I do plan on posting my bullet journal for the each month to let you guys see it as well.
