That's not minimalistic, but good looking

Edit: what I mean is that your journal is really good looking, but I don't think is minimalistic. You should read "the bullet journal method", where the author explains how it works. The use of shades, fancy fonts etc does not make it minimalistic in my opinion, but artistic. Once again, you did a good job. Just the naming does not fit right in my opinion.

[u/m3mento__ → u/tronelek]

Don't worry, I get it. I'm quite new to bullet journal, and I see a lot of people using stickers, washi tape, doodles... to decorate it. So, in comparison to them, this is a pretty simple style in my opinion (basically, it's just lines and a couple of different fonts). Thank you for thinking it's good looking, though :)

Would you only call a white room with a table and a stool a minimalist dining room? Or is there a scale to things?

Relatively to what the BuJo community has warped into, this is plenty minimalistic and the colours used work to enhance the usability in most regards. I vote Minimalistic.

[u/tronelek → u/DasHexxchen]

I think it's just a matter of perspective. The original Bujo made by Ryder Carroll does not involve drawings and decorations. So what's called minimalistic is actually the original Bujo. The rest is more artistic Bujo.

What’s your interest in tracking temperature? These layouts are really neat!

[u/m3mento__ → u/Amirtae]

I just saw someone to it for 2024 and it looked really cool. Plus, I'd like to compare it to future temperature trackers as a way to 'watch' how temperatures change. And, thank you!

[u/theaverage_1]

I really like your year at a glance. Might steal that for 2025 ;)

[u/HomelessHeidi]

The highlights spread is such a good idea!

[u/nyknits]

I’m inspired by your future log. Nice journal.

[u/DasHexxchen]

So good to see a clean minimalisic one.

Colour and shapes are used to make things more coherent and visible. Nothing overdone.

(Minimalism is still a scale and relative to all the artsy stuff this is very minimalistic. I'd only argue about the colour coded trackers not being as minimalistic, cause you need a certain pen for them. I like to use symbols where colour coding doesn't work well.)

[u/spirals-369]

Lovely work! What pens did you use?

[u/m3mento__ → u/spirals-369]

Thank you! I use a Copic Multiliner 0.3 for titles and linework and Sharpie S-gel 0.7 for the cursive (but I don't love this pen because it tends to stop working out of the blue sometimes)

[u/NovaToll]

I am 100% going to steal these ideas they are so nice!

[u/NakenTame]

Awesome! What notebook are you using?

[u/m3mento__ → u/NakenTame]

Thanks! I'm using a really cheap notebook from the supermarket (Carrefour specifically). I tend to forget about this kind of thing sometimes, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money for something that might end up used twice and then forgotten forever.

So lovely! I love all of these spreads 😁🌼
