Fall Bullet Journal Setup: November 2026 Plan With Me

Welcome to my November 2026 Bullet Journal setup! Fall is officially in full swing, and this month I wanted my pages to feel like a warm hug: think oversized sweaters, steaming mugs of tea, and a cozy plaid blanket on the couch. To bring that feeling to paper, I created a fall plaid pattern using just two markers: orange and golden yellow. It’s simple to draw, and it gives every spread that snug, flannel-shirt look.

In this November Bullet Journal, you’ll find a plaid cover page, a monthly calendar, a weekly spread, and a gratitude page. They’re all decorated with tiny doodles of acorns, teapots, pumpkins, pie, and a pair of striped socks. Whether you’re a total beginner or have been journaling for years, you can recreate this look with only a few supplies and a little patience.

So grab your favorite pens, make yourself a hot drink, and let’s get cozy!

This November I’m spending time with my family in Finland, and it’s all about beautiful forests, golden leaves, and cozy sweaters. I haven’t really realized how much I missed northern nature before I came here.

Either way, this is the most golden fall I’ve experienced in years, so when it came to deciding what to do for my November theme, the answer was easy – Fall.

And in case you wonder if you’ll be able to recreate it – you will. It’s all based on pretty simple doodles and very basic color schemes. Plus, I am without most of my stationery, so all this required just a few basics.

Oh, and be sure to check the end of the post for FREE printables to help you create custom themed pages any month of the year.

Stationery Used

If you want to recreate my color scheme, here are all the supplies I used. And the good news is that I used the fewest supplies you can imagine!

Nuuna journal – this is still the same journal I started in 2025, and I have plenty of pages left.
Altenew Fineliner Pens – these are what I used for my fineliners this time. I tried them for the first time last month, and I’ve been absolutely loving them.
Pilot Dr. Grip Mechanical Pencil – I sketch everything in pencil first, and this one has the most comfortable grip I have ever experienced.
Zebra Mildliners – these are the markers I used for this setup, and I used three colors: orange, yellow, and red.

And that’s it; here is all I actually used. So let’s just dive in and see how it came out.

November Fall Bullet Journal Setup

I wanted a Fall theme, and I originally thought I’d just do a plaid pattern and stop there. But as I kept drawing my monthly setup, I ended up adding a few other themed doodles.

Either way, it is all pretty easy to recretae, so let’s simply dive in and look at the layouts i created.

Cover Page

The idea for the cover page went through several edits, but I eventually settled on drawing the letters in thick pen (05) and using my Zebra Mildliners in orange and yellow to cretae a plaid pattern.

Another detail I added is a light grey shadow (with Tombow Dual Brush N89) on the letters so they stand out a bit more against the pattern on the background.

Monthly Log

After months of using a vertical monthly log, I thought it was time to come back to my roots and a calendar-shaped monthly layout.

One reason is that I got tired of the vertical format and wanted something different. Another reason is that this month is a bit weird, and I don’t really need a clear division between personal and work deadlines; a vertical layout works for me.

Of course, me being me, I couldn’t create a layout without making a mistake. So, if you notice what it is, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Gratitude Log

I will be honest here: I haven’t really been following through with my gratitudes in October. So I am trying to motivate myself to get more consistent again. Plus, November is the perfect month to practice daily gratitudes.

As always, it’s a mostly blank page, but since my journal has a larger page size and a smaller dot grid, I have plenty of space to add more doodles and create a larger header.

I considered adding some other pages, like a mod tracker or a habit tracker. But honestly my life is a bit of a mess at the moment and i don’t think I’d benefit much for mthose pages this partocular month.

Weekly Spread

Last but ot least is the weekly spread for the first week of the month. As always, I went with a one-page weekly spread, sicne it’s the exact size that has been working for me for the last few years.

But I did want to try out a new format, just to have some variety. And this time I really just winged it – there were no measurements involved; I just drew daily boxes to overlap with each other, and in the spaces between them I added doodles, with the plan to also fill out the background with a plaid design.

It looks a bit chaotic, but ultimately it has all the daily boxes I need with enough space for planning, and there is also a little space for a weekly to-do list (see the bottom left corner).
