Autumn's Fresh Start: Planning Your Year from October Onward

"Within these charming pages, your story is woven."

Clever Fox Planner, 2nd edition

Hello, to all the planners and journal enthusiasts out there! As someone who enjoys organization, I've found my perfect creative resource in bullet journaling. However, instead of beginning around New Year's, I start my new planner in October.

Why October, You Ask?

Since New Years is directly after the busiest holiday season, I've found I'm too exhausted to do a good job at planning the year ahead in January. So I had to try something new! In October, the air turns crisper, the leaves start to paint the town in warm hues, and there's a certain cozy feeling that just begs to be captured on paper.

The Essence of Each Season: Seasonal Adventure [bucket] Lists

One of the highlights of my bullet journal this year are the pages dedicated to my preplanned seasonal adventure lists. This allows me to sprinkle in creative activities during my months.

A Touch of Whimsy:

Not only a calendar planner, to-do list keeper, and journal for me; this is my canvas for creativity and artistry. I've nicknamed it "Charmwoven" and have given myself license with each page to freely infuse my personality, print photos from that month, have intricate doodles, and capture the essence of every moment.

So, there you have it – my unique approach to yearly planning by starting anew in October! Whether you're drawn to the idea of seasonal planning or simply seeking a fresh way to approach your goals and be creative, I invite you to join me. I'll have some posts soon with details of my seasonal adventure lists and some movie watching list too! Until then, here are some photos of different sections:

Questions to help dig deep & record of annual doctors appointments to make sure I'm taking care of myself

Pages to list books on my TBR list, those I've read, plus any movies I enjoyed
