Go visit the home of the <a href=\"http:\/\/bulletjournal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bullet Journal<\/a> first. Read how Ryder sets it up. Devour the videos. Follow the basic setup for at least your first month.<\/p>\n<p>2. Don\u2019t compare yourself to others. Yes all the Facebook groups and Pinterest and Instagram are awesome for inspiration but your journal is yours. Do as you wish.<\/p>\n<p>3. Don\u2019t try and do all the challenges you find. This month I tried to keep up with 4. I managed to do one everyday. Next month I\u2019ll be more selective which challenges I actually attempt.<\/p>\n<p>4. Also don\u2019t try and track everything. Be selective. You can always track different things next month.<\/p>\n<p>With that out of the way, here\u2019s some of my spreads\u2026<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mlc69eob6srw.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/process:9024\/id:46d0cbc240df55fa4b4ba4b488192dc0\/https:\/\/nightwolfsden.com\/002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"002\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"002\" src=\"https:\/\/mlc69eob6srw.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/process:9025\/id:4f40c1123238951ab18a8e05ffc019be\/https:\/\/nightwolfsden.com\/002_thumb.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\"><\/a>&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/mlc69eob6srw.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/process:9026\/id:c24dca1fbf74511e22f865b5cbb23a73\/https:\/\/nightwolfsden.com\/005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"005\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"005\" src=\"https:\/\/mlc69eob6srw.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/process:9027\/id:b97a21f2eb4665d2c22f1cf5e869037c\/https:\/\/nightwolfsden.com\/005_thumb.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My first monthly page.
