Quarterly Bujo?

Post image

Does anyone else set up their planner in quarters? I have to pages where I added a little calendar showing three months at a glance on the left side and then on the right side are my goals and milestones per month and four habits I want to concentrate on during those three months. The next two pages are for the habits for three months and then I start layouting the monthly spreads. Has anyone a similar System and what other spreads do you incorporate?

I use a seasonal structure (winter/spring etc). I have three columns on s page, one for each month, each line is a day. That way I can write upcoming events. On the opposite page in the spread I have a future log, and a list of duties and wishes in the upcoming period.

For each season, I also set up a wheel of life where I choose 5-6 categories that I wish to reflect on and set intentions for in the coming season.

Then I set up a tracker in the same style as the calendar (3 columns/days for lines). I track 4-7 things each season. This season I track mood, energy, productivity and physical pain. It changes a bit. I struggle with thinking things to be more bad than they really are so this helps me with data.

Besides this I do weekly setups every Sunday with my husband. It includes a reflection on the week that passed, an alistair setup for events this week, a simple task list, and intentions for the week. I also include a focus page which is usually reserved for stoic excercises.

Yes! Quarterlies are a good way of incorporating the idea of "the 12 week year" into my journal

I didn’t think to do that before today. I love it! Gotta see if my artistic talents or lack there of will allow me to do it…and stick with it. Gonna try the layout in my not bujo tonight and see how it feels!

I do this for work! It helps me focus on quarterly goals (which then reflect on yearly bonus) and give a closure to projects.

I usually do a quarter at a glance, similar to yours, then a list of my projects, then a startup collection for each project, and then weeklies/specific meeting collections/project followup etc.
