Hey friends, Elizabeth here from Plant Based Bride and I'm back again with another video! This time
I'm setting up my husband's bullet journal for January 2019.
Don't forget to stick around to the end of the video for my monthly giveaway!
So this month in my husband's bullet journal
I am doing an Apollo theme. If you're not familiar with the Apollo program,
it was designed to land humans on the moon and bring them safely back to earth and ran from 1963 to
1972. Six of the Apollo missions achieved their goal: Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15 16 and 17.
And Apollo 11 is probably the one you have heard the most about because that is the one that landed the first
human on the moon in 1969.
As you probably know from watching my videos, my husband and I are both big nerds.
We both love space and we love sci-fi but something I haven't really gotten into in
M=my life is the Apollo missions,
I've never spent a lot of time watching videos about them or learning about them
for whatever reason, but my husband finds them fascinating and loves the moon. If he had a choice
he would definitely be living on the moon right now. So this month is completely dedicated to Jason's love of
space and the moon and the Apollo missions. For the cover page I decided to write January in the
classic NASA font and then 2019 is based on an image that NASA put out for Apollo 11
Where the Os in Apollo were depicted as the earth and the moon and then they had the flight path leaving Earth's orbit coming around
Swinging around the moon and landing and when we saw that we thought it was super cool
So I decided to repurpose that idea and make it fit in with
2019 so of course the zero is earth and then the circular part of the nine is the moon you'll see this theme is very
Minimalistic, everything is black and white essentially only done with a pen. So it's very easy to do
You don't need a lot of materials, but you can still really get that space feel. After the cover page
I'm moving on to the monthly spread setting it up as I always do with six by six boxes for each day.
Down the side
I'm writing January 2019 again in that NASA font and then the days of the week along the top. I then decided to
recreate an Apollo logo from the 60s.
This is I believe the official logo of the Apollo missions from that time.
So the font I did is not exact,
but I tried to replicate the look of this logo as much as I could in a very tiny
version and of course again only in black and white.
So the basic logo is a large A and then it shows the moon and the earth and again that flight path
coming around
This one took me a while to do because it had such fine detail
So I was using my Sakura microns and then I went back in after with my Sakura white Jellyroll
Gel pen to bring back some lightness to areas that I filled in a little too much with the pen
This is a great tip in general
if you are doing a black and white sort of
drawing and you find that you've coloured in places that you shouldn't, made mistakes,
you can always go in with a gel pen or some other kind of white pen or marker to kind of fix those mistakes.
So now I am moving on it to the weekly spreads which are very similar to what I have done in Jason's bullet journal in
the past. As I've explained a couple times before
Jason is a freelancer. So he needs space to track his hours and clients so that he can create invoices for the work
he does, so that is the main basis of his weeklies.
There is space for each day of the week to write down his hours, places
he has to be and then their space for tracking his hours worked and income. and
then the other side of the spread is just a blank page for notes and then he has another full empty spread after that
for notes as well in the week. So he ends up getting three total pages for notes for each week.
There is one little change on his weeklies this time around, we've added an extra column.
So you can see along the left side
There is one thin column along each day's tracker and that is for him to track whether or not he has invoiced for those hours
So I'll explain this again quickly for anyone who has not seen my previous plan with mes in my husband's bullet journal
(which will be linked if you want to go watch them). So essentially each day you have four rows total
The first three rows are space for three separate clients in a day
And then the fourth row is for totals. Looking at the columns,
The left column is for checking off whether or not these have been invoiced,
the second column is to indicate which client to the work is for, the
third column is for how many hours worked for that client,
and then the fourth column is for the total amount earned in those hours and then the totals are for total hours worked and
total income for that day.
And then at the bottom of the week
we have an extra totals line for total hours worked in the week and total income made in the week.
So that extra column is
just to track whether or not these hours have been invoiced which is something Jason
decided he needed after using his bullet journal for a couple months.
And that's one of the best things about bullet journals in my opinion is that you can completely change your system from top to bottom
If it doesn't work for you
But you can also make little tweaks here and there to really make it work for your life
And there's no one saying you can't and it's as easy as drawing your spread differently next time
All of the weeklies are the same so I won't show the setup of weeks two through five
But I will show you the little drawings I'm doing in the corner. The first drawing for week
one is an astronaut looking up to the stars.
The second drawing I'm doing is a recreation of a classic NASA logo from the 60s
I wasn't super happy with how this turned out when I first filled it in with pen
So I ended up going back in with my posca white paint pen to
Brighten up some of the areas thicken up the letters and just kind of fix the spacing because I honestly didn't do a great job
Of filling this in which is a great chance for me to remind everyone that mistakes happen
There's no with making a mistake and there are lots of creative ways you can use to fix mistakes and no one will ever know
Next I'm drawing a plan of Gemini, this is taken from a NASA
reference book from the 60s
I tried to recreate this drawing as closely as I could because it was a really really cool
Graphic drawing with Gemini and reference book kind of written into the plan
It was a really cool looking so I did my best to recreate that
Gemini technically is not part of Apollo. It was the mission right before Apollo and
Geminis objective was the development of space travel techniques to support the Apollo mission to land humans on the moon
So while it's not technically part of the Apollo missions
It definitely was foundational to the existence of the Apollo missions and the success of the Apollo missions
So I decided to include this especially just because when Jason saw this diagram he thought it was super cool
He really likes these kinds of patent and interior plan drawings of ships
He actually has a interior plan
Rocket ship tattoo on his side and this is very him and very me as well
I love drawing interior plans and diagrams of things
So this just had to be included even though it technically is not
actually from the Apollo missions next up on week 4
I am drawing or trying to recreate the Grumman logo from the 60s the Grumman aircraft engineering
Corporation was a producer of military and civilian aircraft
So they actually designed and built the Apollo Lunar Module which was a spacecraft that was flown to and landed on the moon
This was definitely a bit of a complicated logo to recreate but it is super cool
So I was happy to try and then on tweak five our last drawing here. This is another original Apollo logo
That was on a lot of their reference materials
From the 60s a lot of the internal NASA reference materials had this Apollo logo in the corner
So I did my best to recreate this as accurately as I could a lot of these logos
Originally had some kind of color going on and I just decided to keep everything black and white and very simple for this setup
But this logo originally had red and yellow in it. It was very cool-looking
I highly recommend you go google some of this stuff if you're interested in it
it's very cool to look at and
The very last spread that we have in this month is actually a new spread and it is a honey-do list
So Jason actually asked me to add this to his bullet journal for last month and we both completely forgot
So I'm adding it now for January and this is essentially a master to-do list
We're calling it the honey-do list, but it's not just things that I'm asking him to do
It's also just whatever comes to mind that he needs to get done
It's kind of one place to collect all of those tasks
And as you all know
I love a good to-do list and I love a good master to-do list just to combine
Everything that's on my mind so I can make sure I'm not forgetting anything
especially if it's something that doesn't need to be done in the next week or a couple weeks and
I want to make sure I don't forget about it
So now that we've gone through all the spreads it is time to talk about the giveaway and this month
I'm really excited to be giving away both a notebook and a pen to act as a little bit of a starter kit for any
Of you who want to start bullet journaling in 2019?
But maybe don't have a notebook to use or don't have the resources to get yourself one
So I've never actually used this type of notebook, but I've been really intrigued by it
They sell it at Crees the artist store downtown Toronto, which is where I buy a lot of my supplies
And I've been really intrigued by it multiple times, but just haven't needed a new notebook recently
So I never bought one to check them out, but I decided this would be a great time to do it
I could give it to one of you
It looks like it's incredible and I'm really excited to hear from whichever. One of you wins it to hear your thoughts
And of course if the rest of you who don't win are interested in learning a bit more about the specific notebook
Let me know I can always pick up another one and do a review video
This one is the pen talaq traveler pocket journal
It has a dot grid five millimeters spacing between the dots which is pretty standard in bullet journals
it has completely it recycled paper, which is
120 GSM which is pretty thick. So hopefully whoever wins this won't have any issues with bleeding or ghosting
It has 160 pages. The pages are acid-free slightly
Toothy recycled bright white sketch paper and the cover is italian-made flexible
Water-resistant cover there's also an elastic closure and a ribbon marker as for the pen
I'm giving away the lip and drawing technical drawing pin in 0.3
This is one that I've been using in my notebook reviews recently for pen tests
And I found that it's done really well at being one of the least
smudged bull pens that I own
and I've actually started using it recently in my bullet journal on a day-to-day basis and really love how it
performs and love the nib size
I just think it's a very
versatile
basic pen to have in your kit and a really good one to start bullet journaling with it's fine enough that you can get some
Really detailed work out of it, but it's not so fine that it'll take you forever
If you're trying to do something a little more bold, so I'm really excited about this prize pack this month
