12 Bullet Journal Spreads to Help You Reach Your Goals

It’s the start of a new year. It’s a great time to start anew; try out new things, improve some skills, maybe continue with some stretch goals you made in the past year.

If you are someone who likes to plan, writing down your goals is a helpful way to work on them.

If you are one of those who does bullet journaling, a spread dedicated for your 2023 goals is something to consider having especially if you started a new journal for the New Year.

It can be hard to create a “Goals” spread from scratch even for someone who has been using the bullet journal system for years. If you need some inspiration for your bullet journal, here are some goals spreads to help get your creative juices going.

For some people, having New Year’s “goals” or “resolutions” can be overwhelming or even make you unmotivated. Try a “things to check out” list instead — maybe it can inspire you to create goals you didn’t know you had.

So, you’ve thought of some goals to write down. But how do you keep up with them? When creating your goals, add a space where you can write down what date you finished your goals. It makes you go back to your “goals” spread and it forces you to hold  yourself accountable for them.

Dutch Door Bullet Journal Goal Spread

Another way to keep your goals in your sights while using your bullet journal is to make use of “dutch door” spreads.

Which spread inspired you the most? Always remember that there is no right or wrong way to create your own spreads. You can create spreads with a combination of some of these spreads or just use the general layout of one.

The most important thing is to make the spread work for you so you can achieve your New Year’s goals. Have fun creating!
