In this video I’m setting up my 2026 bullet journal and kicking things off with a January spread—fully medieval, fully academia vibes, and honestly the perfect little bridge between my love of planning and my love of fantasy worlds. I’m building a foundation that feels practical for an entire year (future me deserves that), while still letting the theme do what it does best: make opening my journal feel like stepping into a castle library with a sword on the wall and a romance subplot brewing. I walk you through the supplies I’m using—my journal choice, the stickers, stamps, washi, and how I like to add printed elements for that extra “scrapbook-meets-bookish” texture. The goal is a setup that’s pretty but usable, so it can keep up with reading plans, creative projects, and real-life schedules without becoming too precious to write in. If you want a cozy medieval bullet journal theme that still functions as a planner (and looks like it belongs in a fantasy manuscript), this is the vibe.
