October Bullet Journal Ideas

October is a great month for bullet journaling. The cooler weather and shorter days provide the perfect opportunity to stay indoors and get organized. Bulleting is a great way to track your daily tasks, set goals, and keep track of important events.

October is also a great month to reflect on the past year and set goals for the upcoming year. Use your bullet journal to reflect on your accomplishments and areas where you would like to improve.

Can you start a bullet journal in October?

Yes, you can start a bullet journal in October! The best part of a bullet journal is you create it however you want.  That means you can start in October, or really any day you choose.  If you’re new to bullet journaling you are in the right place, especially if you plan on getting started with October!

October Bullet Journal Ideas

Ready to get inspired?  Here are some fun ideas to track in your October bullet journal.

Holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc.

October is the perfect ramp up to the holiday season, especially Halloween! Halloween is my favorite holiday, but there’s no shame in getting started with Christmas or Thanksgiving now too!

Weather changes/fashion

As the weather starts to cool down, what kind of fashion are you looking forward to sporting? What kinds of cozy clothing will you be breaking out?

Pumpkin everything

Pumpkins are such a fun part of fall! From pumpkin spice lattes to carving jack-o-lanterns, there are so many things to do with pumpkins

Fall bucket list

What are some things you want to do before the winter sets in? Maybe you want to go on a hike, or visit a pumpkin patch. Make a list in your journal and check things off as you go!

Scary movies

Halloween wouldn’t be complete without a few good scares! Use your journal to keep track of which movies you want to watch, and rate them afterwards.

Halloween candy

What’s your favorite Halloween candy? Do you like to hoard it or share it? Keep track of your thoughts on different types of candy in your journal.

Decorating for fall

Get your home ready for the cooler months with some fun fall decor! Use your journal to plan out your decorations, and make a list of any supplies you need to buy.

Apple orchard trip

One of my favorite fall activities is visiting an apple orchard! Track your plans for a trip to the apple orchard in your journal, and make sure to document what kinds of apples you try.

Hiking in the leaves

Fall is a great time to get outside and enjoy the cooler weather! Use your journal to plan out some hikes you want to go on, and document the different types of leaves you see.

Bonfires and s’mores

End the perfect fall day with a bonfire and some s’mores! Keep track of your favorite bonfire recipes and s’more combinations in your journal.

Cozy nights in

As the weather gets colder, there’s nothing better than curling up with a good book or movie! Use your journal to keep track of what you want to watch and read this fall.

Zombie apocalypse preparation

Okay, maybe this one is a little bit out there. But if you’re into planning for the zombie apocalypse, use your journal to brainstorm ideas and make a list of supplies you’ll need!

Your favorite recipes for fall comfort

As the weather gets cooler, we all start craving comfort food! Use your journal to document your favorite fall recipes, so you can make them all season long.

Track your Halloween plans and costume ideas in your journal

Halloween is one of the best holidays, and it’s never too early to start planning! Use your journal to track your costume ideas, Halloween party plans, and anything else you want to do for the holiday.
