Yearly Bullet Journal Layout Ideas – Introduction
If you are anything like me that at some point before sitting down and making my yearly bujo spreads I will end up searching for some ideas and inspiration.
My thought is that if I do it every year, so must other people.
But I want to provide a nice range, so here are some usual spreads that people use and also I’ve added some unique yearly bullet journal ideas.
Let’s jump in.
[I should mention my bullet journal is digital but you can also just use these ideas in a physical notebook too]

1. Cover Page with a Difference
So here you see my 2024 cover page, but as you can see I’ve added some extras. Let me explain.
So I decided to use the left for the year title. But on the right I have space for a quote and there are 12 boxes.
I put a bible verse in the quote area because that is what I like, but you could use it for a yearly theme word, or your favorite quote or manta.
The 12 boxes again can be use for different ideas. I use mine to write my monthly focus word for each month of the year, but you could also use it to write your monthly bujo theme, or your biggest memory. Anything like that.

2. Routines Page
Here you will see a set up both for a weekly routine and a daily routine.
I like to have a general idea of what my ideal day or week looks like, that’s why I created this page.
On the left is a weekly layout that has 3 boxes per day, that’s morning, afternoon, and evening.
Then on the right I will write in a little list for my morning routine, my evening routine etc. This includes what daily cleaning I do and chores like feeding and playing with my cat.
3. Important Dates
This as you can see has 2 elements to it. A checklist and an important dates section.
When you see other yearly bujo spreads you will see that there are different ways of doing important dates. Some put important dates straight into their future log. Some have them on a separate page.
For me I like to keep my future log for events [see the next point].
So I use this page to log wedding anniversaries and death anniversaries and other bits that I want to remember.
What is the checklist for, I hear you ask?
It is my planning plan. That’s right it is where I write all the things I want to do when I am monthly planning, so it has things like – events, budget, work, date night, etc.
It helps me not to forget any step in my monthly planning routine.
4. Future Log
No bullet journal yearly spreads ideas list would be complete without a future log. Many bullet journalists myself included, rely heavily on this spread.
This is a fairly standard layout, the only bit that is maybe a little bit different is that I start from February. That leaves me with a box at the end that I use for ‘next year’. As I get near to the end of the Year I find this box really helpful. And since I usually go straight into planning my January spreads after my yearly spreads, I decided I don’t really need it in my future log.
5. Self-Care
So this is one of the unique yearly bullet journal ideas. Each person has different needs from their bullet journal so this one I suppose is unique to me.
It contains a goal section on the left. The first column is ‘TYPE’. This is to indicate is it a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual goal. The next column is ‘THE GOAL’ and is naturally a section to write down a goal.
The third column is ‘T/R/H/P’. This stands for – task/repeating task/habit/project. So this tells me what kind of goal it is and how best to plan it. The last column is ‘WHEN’ and naturally is telling me when to do the goal.
This year in my yearly bujo spreads I wanted to include a weight tracker, because I want to lose some weight. So I have a weekly weigh-in here.
Lastly I have a section for reading. Again, it is something I want to do more of. So I have a ‘books to read’ and a ‘finished books’ section.
What do you thing of the yearly bullet journal layout ideas so far, would you try any of them?
6. Memories
This, as you can see, is a lovely open blank canvas.
You might notice that beside the word – memories I have Q1. That is because I have 4 of these pages, 1 for each quarter.
Because my bullet journal is digital, I will be able to fill this up with photos and drawings that will nicely fill out some memories for the years for me.
7. Quarterly Dashboard
This might be included in unique yearly bullet journal ideas, because I don’t see too many doing quarterly planning in their bullet journal. Here is mine:
On the left I have 3 boxes – One off tasks, Reoccurring tasks, and Projects.
This relates to the goals page I talked about earlier. I add the goal points in here that I had set for the first quarter.
On the right is a box for each of the different months in the quarter, which helps me gather all the information and put it into a list for the specific month.
How to Organize your Bullet Journal
So we have seen some yearly bullet journal layout ideas, but how do you organize them into your bullet journal. I have seen this question a lot:
HOW SHOULD I ORGANIZE MY BULLET JOURNAL?
The best pages to put at the start are reference pages, such as index, etc. Then put your yearly planning pages next, things you will need all year. Then add a month at a time with all your monthly and weekly planning pages.
My suggestion is if you want to do daily planning – keep that in a separate little planner.
What about theme ideas?
Conclusion
I am sure with the ideas you have gathered you will be all set for planning a great year. There are so many bullet journal yearly spread ideas to be found so don’t stop your search if you didn’t find what you were looking for here.
