I am very new to bullet journaling as I only started one on a whim a few weeks ago. However, I’ve found the process of creating the bullet journal spread so therapeutic and enjoyable. I am by no means an expert and I cannot draw very well at all. Art has never been a strong point of mine but I am still having fun creating my spreads. With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to show you my incredibly simple bullet journal spread for February. I don’t love some of the pages but equally, I don’t hate them either. I’m still learning about what I like to have in my spread so hopefully, my style will evolve too!
Like I’ve said before, I’m not the artiest of people so my title page is incredibly simple. I wish I could do all the fancy lettering but at the moment I’m keeping it simple. For February, I just wrote the month and put it in a box. As February is the month of love I thought I’d go to town on the hearts and dotted them around everywhere. I took a lot of inspiration from Pinterest so if you’re ever stuck for ideas then Pinterest will definitely help you out.
Key Dates
I then added key dates for the month. I know that I won’t be using my bullet journal to keep track of the days so I just wanted a simple overview of the month. There isn’t anything too exciting on my key dates as being in lockdown meant I didn’t have very much planned. The only exciting thing in February is that it’s myself and my boyfriend’s 2 year anniversary and it’s Valentine’s Day! If you’re looking for date ideas then I wrote a post last week on lockdown date night ideas.
Habit Tracker
Being honest, I HATE this habit tracker that I made for February. It just looks so ugly and I am not a fan. I prefer the one that I had in January so I know for next time not to go for anything like this. Last month, I made a habit tracker that looked more clean and simple so I think I will definitely be going back to that style instead.
Dream Log
Next, I went for something fun and decided to track my dreams. I don’t if anyone else has been sleeping weirdly recently but I have been having some bizarre dreams. If you’re struggling with sleeping then I also have a whole post that should help! I thought it would be fun to include a dream log so I can look back on all the strange dreams I’ve had. The only dream on there at the moment is about writing an essay on Kylie Minogue songs – that really would be a dream!
TV Series
Finally, I decided to include somewhere to track the TV series I watch throughout the month. As I’m sure many of us have been glued to Netflix in lockdown (check out my recommendations here) I wanted somewhere to keep track of shows I’d seen. So far, there’s Bridgerton, The Pembrokeshire Murders and The Serpent which I enjoyed a lot. If you have any other recommendations then let me know – I’m always looking for new things to watch!
And that’s it for my simple bullet journal spread. I’m completely new to bullet journaling and haven’t been doing it for very long at all but I’m hoping I’ll stick to it. I’ve really enjoyed doing something slightly more creative with my time. Plus it stops me from scrolling on my phone. I find it quite relaxing to do and I’m hoping that I’ll keep it up. I’m a big fan of the simple bullet journal spreads as I don’t have the time for anything too elaborate but they look just as effective.
Do you have a bullet journal? Do you prefer simple bullet journal spreads or the more elaborate ones?
This is amazing. I especially love the dreams page. I don’t have a journal but I feel so tempted to start one! There’s so much you can do with it all!
Rosie
Thank you! I’ve really enjoyed having mine
Love this! This is not something I’ve thought of doing but after reading this I definitely might have to give it a try
Yay! I hope you enjoy
Your bullet journal looks so pretty. I tried bullet journaling before but suddenly stopped. I need to start doing it again.

Thank you!
Those doodles are so cute, I wish I could draw like that. I’m gonna try out the dream log, it seems like a great idea to put into my journal.
Yes, I love having the dream log to keep track of things!
I love all the prompts! I haven’t done my bullet journal in ages but this makes me want to start it again! I love the tv series and habit tracker! Thanks for sharing x
Thank you!
I love your journal, especially the dream page – it’s such a great way to track your months x
Thank you!
This is a great spread. Thank you for sharing your bullet journal pages!
Thank you!
For someone who’s new to this your spreads are so darn cute! I really want to start one!

Amazing post! Thank you for sharing this as I am also a beginner to bullet journaling and I’m not very good at art. This looks really nice and I love the page ideas!
Thank you!

I started a bullet journal last week! It is so cool to see what people can do with all of these bullets, haha. Even better that anything you do… Is yours! Your habit tracker looks really sweet. I should look into tracking the TV shows I watched! I’ve been binging so much that I forget what I’ve seen haha.

Yes, I love the TV tracker as a way of keeping track of what I enjoyed and watched!
I love your bullet journal set-up! I used to have one too, but noticed that I didn’t have enough time to keep track. I also had a memories page for every month in mine, which was lovely to look back on at the end of the year. I now use a bullet journal for work, beg use it gives me the freedom of making my to do lists as big as I have to 😂
Oooh I like the idea of a memories page!
I LOVE your simple drawings, especially the little plants! Seeing you get into bullet journaling inspires me; I am always putting things off, saying I will start tomorrow. There is nothing stopping us from doing something in the now except ourselves. 🙂
Thank you! Yes, I always put off starting one thinking I was too busy but really I just needed to get started and I loved setting it up!
I have never thought of doing a bullet journal before but it looks like a great idea, It would be fun to look back on what I have watched etc
Thank you. I hope you give it a go!
I’m so glad I stumbled on this post! I always see people’s gorgeous spreads in their bullet journal, and while I want to start one, and mean to, I have no idea where to start and this helps give me an idea. Thanks for sharing your pages, they are great ideas and I like your habit tracker page personally!

Thank you! Yes, I agree. There are some amazing spreads out there but they can be quite overwhelming when you’re a beginner and don’t know where to start!
That’s so neat! I am really thinking I might give this bullet journal thing a try. I’m not artist, either. Not by a long shot! So it’s neat to see you do it even though you don’t think of yourself as artsy because I used to think that’s who were the people who created them. Thanks for sharing your pages!
Yes, I’m definitely not an artist either! Hope you enjoy it if you do give it a go!
I’ve been seeing bullet journal posts a lot now and I love the idea of having mine. I like how simple yours is and the dream log is definitely a must have.
Thank you!
Great post! I haven’t got into bullet journalling yet but I do keep a goals and affirmations journal. I love the dream section you have. I’d like to remember what my dreams are when I can! I think I’m going to try and leave my notebook beside my nightstand. Thanks for sharing x

Thank you!
You are so creative!! What an amazing idea.
Thank you!
I really want to start a bullet journal but I never really know what to put in it so this is really helpful! I love the idea of the dream log and the tv series x
Thank you!
Love the design and layout of you February month! I like you have included the dream section, that will be really useful in looking back to! I still haven’t got back into bullet journaling, but used to love doing it!
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for reading!
I’ve seen people talk about bullet journals but never really understood what it actually was! But this makes so much more sense now, I actually really like your title page and I love the dreams page! I’ve been having mega weird dreams at the moment too!
Thank you – me too so I thought it would fun to document them, haha!
Great post 🙂 These are gorgeous images, and I love the font ideas you’ve used here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts for bullet journal users this month x
Thank you!
I love the way you’ve designed the bullet journal to suit your needs 😄
I’ve been using the more structured planners, I don’t think I have the patience for a bullet journal lool.
Thank you!
I really need to start bullet journaling! Looks so fun! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks!
I love the clean and easy feeling behind your bullet journal! I love when things such as these can allow you to personalize them and bring you joy! Thanks for sharing.
I love your February theme! So cute ❤ Can’t wait to see more of your bullet journal 😍xx
Love this spread! I have dipped in and out of bullet journals for a few years. I ways start and then peter out but you are right it is so therapeutic when you do it. I need to find a a way to keep my blog schedule set up so I may go back to trying the bullet journal again! Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes, I find it so therapeutic. Thank you for reading!
Interesting – I have never seen anyone include a dream tracker before, but I love the idea of keeping that all in one place. It’s a great way to start to recognize trends or similarities and what they may be trying to tell you. I am getting ready to set up my first bullet journal and I think I’ll have to include that page in mine as well.
Thank you – yes, I think it will be interesting to reflect back on
This is such a site set up! Your dream log is really cute and works so well x
I love the idea of bullet journals, but I’ve always put off creating one as it looks so time consuming! The dream log looks intriguing, and the plant drawings are so cute!
Thank you!
Love this post! I love all stationary and you present it so well. I need to up my journal recording!)
These are such cute ideas! I’m just started to do a bullet journal too and am always looking for new ideas. Thanks for sharing!
I love your dream log and TV tracker! They’re so cute and love the little doodles.
Thank you!
These are such sweet little spread ideas! I love the TV tracker. It’s so cute and I think it’s a nice way to reflect of the series/film you watched, rather than mindlessly watching a film. These are great ideas and I can’t wait to try them!
Em x
Thank you!
I can’t believe this is your first bullet journal spread, it’s genuinely amazing! You go Tash!!
Ahhh thank you so much!!
Such an amazing idea! Your journal looks lovely. I hope it helps you achieve your goals ♥
Thank you!
Oh I do love seeing peoples bullet journals. I wish I had really neat writing so mine would look good. I love the dream and tv series pages! Siobhan ♡ | Vegan Babe Life
Thank you!
I think you have done a great job! I love to use a bullet journal but I am so bad at it, I skip the arty bits now and just use it to record blogging stats, ideas etc.
In fact I can feel a session coming on tonight now x x
Haha yes, art is not my strong point so I feel like I might end up doing that too!
I started the bullet journal in 2019 and I really really enjoyed it! I don’t do dream log but yours sounds great! Thanks for sharing x
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. I have been looking at bullet journal. I wanted to try it but didn’t know how to start it. These are great suggestions. Thank you.

Thank you!
This is such a cute journal spread! I love that you’re honest about your spreads that don’t always go as planned – I’ve been bullet journalling for YEARS and there are constantly pages glued together and ripped out pages haha! I think all of these spreads turned out great though xx
mia // https://beautiful-inspiring-creative-life.com/
Haha, yes I think I will be doing the same! Thanks for commenting!
I really love your TV series page! If i had a bullet journal, that’s something I’d definitely include because I watch a lot of series and love to keep track of what I’ve watched 🙂 Cute spread!
Thank you – it’s one of my favourite pages too!
Your Bullet Journal looks sooo pretty, Congratulations
Thanks for sharing

Thank you!
Looks pretty neat and lovely, just amazing. Awesome idea..
Thank you!
Amazing journal. I’m not good when it comes to art and drawing as well but you did great. The plants and cactus on the table, that’s a nice touch. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
I took a class on bullet journaling about two years ago at the library and I really liked it. Since then, I have not had the opportunity to go back and sit down and work on it. But I really like your pages and your ideas.
Thank you!
What a lovely post, I’m going to have to try this myself. It’s personally reassuring to know that drawing is not your forte as it’s not mine either but I’d be thrilled if my bullet journal looked anything like yours.
Thank you for sharing.
Ahhh thank you! Drawing is definitely not my strongest subject!
This is so cute! Love the dream log area.
Thank you!
Bullet journals are so lovely. I like your writing. It all looks very cute and colourful! Siobhan ♡ | Vegan Babe Life
I’m so not an artsy person either so feel a bit intimidated at the thought of a bullet journal. I think yours looks great! I especially like the idea of a dream tracker. If you did a blog post essay on Kylie Minogue songs I’d totally read it hehe. 🙂 But I think that dream tracker will be a fun thing to look back on in a year. Thanks for sharing!
Haha I might have to do that post, I think it would be so fun!
How cute is that dream log idea!

I love how simple and cute this is! I’ve tried and failed at bullet journals cause i forget about them and im frankly kinda rubbish at being artsy so i love that if i could ever keep up with a bullet journal i could still make it look cute with being super easy!

I’m thinking of starting a bullet journal soon! These ideas were great and I love how your spreads look!
