Today I’m sharing with you my April 2020 Bullet Journal Set Up.
If you want to see how I set up my bullet journal for 2020, click here.
Since 2018, I’ve kept my bullet journal set minimalist. I started keeping my bujo as functional as possible, keeping only the basics layout. Which in turn leveled up my productivity. Hooray!
I thought for 2020, I will start publishing my monthly bullet journal layout again. You can follow me on Instagram to see more of my bujo set ups.
April 2020 Monthly Calendar
With the enhanced community quarantine still on and the big possibility of it to be extended, I thought it would be better to create just a tiny calendar instead.
To make up for my Projects and Goals spread last month, I also created a Project Tracker on the top and Goal List at the bottom.
The was “At the end of April I want to…”. This sets the mood of how I want to start my month.

Ideal Day
One new spread I made for my April 2020 bullet journal set up is the “Ideal Day”.
I am spending the whole month of April now working from home, so I thought it would be a good exercise to map out how I want my work days to be.
This page will act just as a guideline for me. Life happens and I don’t think I can stick to the ideal day perfectly. But having this spread to look back to gives me motivation to seize the day.
Even if I fail today, I know tomorrow is a new opportunity to do better.
I guess the trick with making your ideal day effective is being totally honest with yourself. And to know that it’s not about perfection but making progress after all.
April 2020 Habit Tracker
I changed my habit tracker for the month of April 2020 to a vertical one arranged per category. In the first column I have my morning routines, my content tracker and my evening routines.
As always, for every habit I do I just put a mark to it.
April 2020 Time Tracker
For the first few weeks when the enhanced community quarantine was declared, I felt like I wasn’t as product as I intended to be.
I’m not posting that much, and still have open projects here and there.
And then the unimaginable happened. The enhanced community quarantine got extended until April 30.
I promised myself that I will not let the month pass by again without doing something I will be thankful for the rest of the year.
I wanted to be productive and get a hold of how I spend my time, this time.
So I brought the Time Tracker back.
This time I’m only tracking four things - Sleep, Work, Blog/Biz and Reading.
My goal in putting this back is to make sure I log where my actual time is going.

April 2020 Content Calendar
Having a content calendar has always helped me blog better. And although I have a working Google Calendar for it, I thought it will be nice to have the planner on paper too.
The layout is simple, I have one side for the blog and the other side for Instagram.
All the days of the month are written down and then I use blue ballpen for www.izzaglinofull.com contents and red ballpen for www.savingspinay.ph.
Since I struggle keeping up with my posting schedule there are a lot of white paint markers on the spread. Should I do this spread again next month I’ll definitely write first in pencil instead. It’s just much cleaner that way.
April 2020 Daily and Weekly Pages
The last spread for my April 2020 bullet journal is the daily and weekly pages. I already ran out of the blue green highlighter I had so I replaced it with a pink highlighter.
I am still using the same layout which definitely worked for me well over the last months of using. I thought as well that working from home will make my daily and weekly pages empty, but it’s still the same - even got busier if I may say.
That’s it for my April 2020 Bullet Journal.
