November… The start of a month that indicates that we are less than two months away from Christmas and two months away from the new year. Am I freaking out a little bit? Maybe… I’m extremely excited for these upcoming two months and this November 2020 Life Monthly Planning because it’s almost Christmas and I can already feel the Christmas spirit and cannot wait for all the crafting projects regarding this amazing holiday season.
Review
As always, before getting my life together, I like to do a review of the previous month in all aspects that I redeem as important in order for me to set up goals for the new month.
I just started a list of lists that started filling up as I recalled the past month. And with that, I set up my top 5 goals for the month of November.
Bullet Journal
Before setting up my goals for the new month, I needed to make sure that I had my main planning tool which is my bullet journal.
My November 2020 Bullet Journal Setup is already up if you are interested in checking it out.
Top 5 Goals
Journal & Be Grateful
This is a staple since journaling and remembering to be grateful every day helps me have a more positive outlook overall.
Mental & Physical Health Care
Aside from journaling and being grateful, some things that I like to do for my mental health is reading and learning new stuff. That’s why I have a learning tracker on my habit log in my bullet journal.
One thing that I will be adding to this is a reward system in order to balance my college-related tasks and my personal creative projects.
Lastly, instead of doing mostly yoga, this month I will learn Disney movie choreographies as my exercise just to make the task more fun.
Read Lots
Last month I wasn’t able to start reading the Harry Potter series so this month I will try to tackle the series aside from the books I’m reading at uni.
I’ll also be reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson since it’s a pretty short novella.
BY Maintenance & Improvements
This goal is there to make me accountable and make sure that I’m always working on improving this brand.
This month I will be working on a bunch of designs since I will be doing a rebrand either in December or at the beginning of 2021.
Christmas Prep
I’m a bit late for this one… There are a bunch of things I have prepped for Christmas and I cannot wait for the holidays to start.
Journal & Gifts
The first thing I need to work on is the plan for Christmas gifts so that I can start working on any DIY gifts.
I also have to make my Christmas journal because I like to create a new journal for December instead of using my usual 2020 bullet journal.
Creative Projects
Aside from the Christmas projects, I also have to start working on the prep for 2021 planner wise. So that means that I have to create my 2021 bullet journal since I like to hand sew them myself as well as any other physical or digital planner I want to use for the next year.
I hope you guys have an amazing month and that you reach all of your monthly goals.
