Reflecting on the past year offers invaluable insights into your journey—an opportunity to acknowledge the challenges you faced, the troubles you overcame, and the accomplishments you achieved. This reflection lays the groundwork for crafting a meaningful and effective plan to propel you even further toward your dreams in the new year.
To truly harness the power of reflection, you should try to incorpate it in your Bullet Journal. My creating a page like this, you’ll already start sucontiously programming your mind to access your year and see where should you go next year.
These pages are about digging deeper to understand the “why” and “how” behind each event. Whether it’s through detailed breakdowns of your challenges or celebrating your successes with gratitude logs, your Bullet Journal becomes a mirror of your journey. This practice not only helps in acknowledging your growth but also in identifying patterns and areas that require more focus or a different approach altogether.
The beauty of Bullet Journaling lies in its versatility and personal touch. This means that you can create a year end review that fits your style and the best way for you to work through all the data.
Some might find inspiration in creating a visual timeline of the year, marking significant milestones and the lessons learned along the way. Others might prefer a more structured approach, with dedicated sections for personal growth, professional achievements, and unexpected surprises that shaped the year.
It might feel a bit overwhelming to get started on this page; after all, a whole year is a lot of time, and there are so many ways to put it on paper. But don’t worry; this is exactly why I’ve created this blog post, which is full of pages created by different creators in all kinds of styles and formats.

Stationery Recommendations
There’s a lot of stationery out there, so it’s easy to get lost and get the things you won’t like using or that are not good quality.
I obviously don’t want you to struggle, and since you’ll need some supplies for creating your year end review, I decided to share some of my top recommendations.
- A journal. You’ll need a journal for all your travel pages. You can use a usual journal, like my favorite Archer And Olive notebooks (use code MASHA10 for 10% OFF). For year-end review and other personal development pages, I actually love using a larger B5 notebook.
- Sakura Pigma Fineliners – these are a staple for creating any Bullet Journal spread. Their black archival ink and many different nib sizes will allow you to create stunning and elaborate pages.
- Tombow Fude Brush Pen – These small tip brush pens are universal. You can create elaborate brush lettering and beautiful headers or just use them for drawing.
- Markers. You probably want to add some colors to your pages, and I recommend choosing a few of your favorite markers. For me, it’s absolutely Zebra Mildliners.
- Printer. And here I mean a mini photo printed, like HP Sprocket I have. I find that adding photos to your yearly review pages can be super fun and useful.
Now that you have all your stationery ready, let’s look at some ideas for your year-end Bullet Journal pages.
End Of Year Bullet Journal Ideas
When it comes to a year-end review, there are plenty of different formats and prompts you can use to create that page. So, looking at these, pay attention not only to how the information is organized but also to what the creator included on the page.
These are spread by different people, including a few of my own pages, so you will get a wide variety of different approaches and formats to get inspired by.
This is a very well-organized and aesthetic-looking page. I love that the creator included little photos as well, I think it helps preserve the memories of the year.
You can also clearly see what are some important things for the creator to remember - books, moments with family, workout journey. There is a lot of text here, but it's all very well-structured and easy to sort out.
This review page is not for the end of the year per se, more like for the middle of the year. But it's a useful milestone, and it still shows all the prompts and ideas on what you can include in your yearly review.
I like that the creator used different boxes for different types of information. This spread is all about text, but the boxes and the little splashes of color made it look just a bit more fun and visually easier to understand.
2022 was a big year for me, and this review page is still one of my favorites. I like my pages to be a bit less organized but with accents on important things, like my sweet puppy, my new skill of actually enjoying being alone, and some important lessons I've learned.
As you can see, I'm also a huge fan of adding photos to my pages, and here are two of the biggest things for me - my sweet puppy and me finally having my braces off.
Here is another fun approach to a yearly review - add your triumphs and refinements. Here, I'm not sure if refinements mean things to work on or improvements that they made, but either way, these are all pretty important things to think about when planning for the next year.
Some people do a yearly review in terms of their goals and achievements. Others just want to remember all the amazing times they have had during the year. Both ways are legit, and it's up to you to pick which one you want to do.
I like all the fun and lightheartedness of this page and the fun doodles.
Here is one more page that is a yearly recap, but mostly in terms of events and memorable things. It looks so fun and colorful! But if you take a closer look, you'll see that there are a lot of victories and big events here hidden as well, giving you a good outlook on the year and in which direction the creator wants to move next.
If you can't choose between a goal-oriented review and a memory-type review page, why not try and do both? This is a fantastic example of that concept. You can see the fun favorites of the year, together with the section for things they are proud of and things they want to work on in the future.
The mind map format for the favorite items is really fun! It helps to include so many different categories under one big umbrella.
I absolutely adore how well-structured this yearly review is. You have the important moments from each month on the left and more of the goals and personal development information on the right
I think you can almost create this page at the beginning of the year and keep filling it out as the year goes.
Here is my take on a more organized yearly review. I really like this page because every time, it just brings me back straight to that year and down the memory lane.
I love that apart from general memories of the year; there is a section for the best moments, and everything there is truly something that even now stands out.
If you don't want to spend a lot of time on your yearly review, you can always just find the right prompts and answer each in one sentence. This page is a great example of just a few things you can ask yourself about. the past year.
Here is one more idea on how to easily divide your text and make the yearly review much more organized and easy to navigate. You just need to think of the important sections you want to include.
The headers here are made to stand out with the thicker lines, but you can also make them in different colors or different fonts if you want to, just to ensure they are very clear and distinguished from the text.
This is such a beautiful two-page review page, and I love that the creator used little banners and doodles to add some fun and variety to all the entries.
I also find it particularly interesting that there is a little timeline in the middle where each month has something special happening to remember it by.
When organizing your review, it's important to ensure that the different sections are well divided and the headers are distinct. I like how the creator used these scrapbook-like headers to ensure each section is very well-defined.
Another way to remember your year is by creating a timeline like this one and adding something important that has been happening to you every month.
I think it's very important because so often, we forget things that happened or even the challenges we faced. So if you make it your task to remember something from each month, you'll surely learn a lot about your year and how it changed you.
I absolutely love the look of this page and how the creator stayed on theme with baby pink and gold accents. The b; black and white pictures also create a special atmosphere.
I think this is a very creative page that is definitely fun for the creator to look back at.
