Plan With Me: November 2025 Bullet Journal Setup

My November Bullet Journal setup is here, and it’s extra sweet!

This year is flying by, but that just means another opportunity to create some beautiful and functional planner pages. This month, I felt inspired by something soft, squishy, and absolutely adorable: mochi!

These little Japanese rice cakes are not only delicious but also come in so many cute shapes and pastel colors. I thought they would be the perfect theme for a cozy and fun setup as we head into the cooler days of late autumn.

I had so much fun creating these pages, and I can’t wait to share how I incorporated them into my monthly cover page, calendars, and weekly spreads. Let’s get our journals and favorite pens ready for a truly delightful planning session.

This month, I got a new set of colorful markers (more on this later), and I knew I had to do something different, so I went searching for inspiration.

My requirement was for it to be colorful and cute, but at the same time, easy to draw. And this is when I found a weekly spread by @autumnaldrich, and it was the inspiration for the entire monthly theme for me.

So yes, this monthly setup will not be my usual style, but I enjoy doing something different. And I think my shaky lines still made it pretty clear I’m not Autumaldrich.

This worked perfectly because it fit all my requirements, and I have actually been obsessing over mochi since I finally discovered a market where I can buy it together with plenty of other Japanese spices and sauces. So there might be some more Japan-inspired layouts coming in the future!

Meanwhile, let’s check out my November pages. But first, here are all the supplies I used.

Oh, and one last thing – remember at the end of the post, you can get some FREE printables that can help you create your own fun and exciting monthly setup.

Stationery Recommendations

My main goal here was to use my new markers, so when it comes to stationery, it is all pretty basic things.

So, here it is:

Nuuna journal. I know they don’t have the thickest paper, but I really love the smaller dot grid and slightly bigger pages. Also, my last Nuuna journal lasted me for a year and a half, so I’m pretty excited about that.
Sakura Pigma Micron. 03 is my favorite size for pretty much everything, and I used 005 for smaller details and things I didn’t want to stand out.
Crayola Super Tips – I finally got this 150 color pack of markers and I couldn’t be more excited! The price was super friendly, I already know they are great quality, and I’m ecstatic with all the colors!
Stencil Ruler – since I have some fancy supplies, I used the ruler that came in my favorite stencil set. And I only used it for the trackers; everything else was done by hand, and you’ll definitely see the proof in the shaky lines.

And that’s it, you can create a lot with just a few pens.

November 2025 Bullet Journal Setup

I will be honest here – I was creating this setup on November 2nd, so it was very last-minute, which tells you that it is pretty easy to recreate!

And this blog post is being posted in the middle of November, so that you will see several of my weekly layouts as well.

Bullet Journal Cover Page

Starting with my favorite layout in every setup – a cover page.

I was taking another little break from journaling with yet one more mental health spiral, which is the opposite of what you should be doing, but it is what it is. The point being, I wanted it to be cute and inspiring, but at the same time not too challenging, like a soft entry back into being creative.

I won’t lie – having all these colors from the Crayola set definitely gave me extra inspiration and vigor to journal! So here is the layout I came up with.

Monthly Layouts

This month, all I thought of creating was a monthly log, and yet somehow, with all the extra space, I ended up adding a mood and a habit tracker.

I don’t like empty space, and I didn’t want to decorate the layout too much since it was something I had to create in a hurry, so I added trackers instead, and I’m happy I did.

Tracking my moods and habits again feels like I’m back to some kind of normal rhythm, so it all worked out well.

And if you notice that the mood tracker has no key, it is because I’ve been using the same key and colors for my moods since 2020. No matter the theme, mood tracker colors stay the same, and I found it actually very useful – that way, right away from one look, I get a clear idea of how my month is going.

Brain Dump

I honestly have been overwhelmed with all the things in my life, and one of the best ways to manage that is by creating a brain dump. Thankfully, I managed to take a picture before the pen.

Basically, this is a layout where I offloaded everything in my mind, every little thing that I have to think about, worry, manage, or do. It all went on paper, so my brain can relax a little bit, and then I can start working through it one by one.

Honestly, having these things on paper calmed down a lot of anxiety and allowed me to get more productive with everything, so I definitely can’t say enough about how important this practice is.

Weekly Spreads

Since I’m writing this post in the middle of November, I actually already have several weekly spreads to share with you.

Just like always with my Nuuna recently, I’m going for one-page weekly layouts, and right now I have, let’s say, three and a half.

I do prefer vertical weekly pages, but this horizontal one is very easy to set up because I already have the measurements, and it’s easy to draw even without rulers.

I also left plenty of space for my to-do list, but turns out I don’t really have the need for a bit of a to-do list for the week.

My second weekly spread is also horizontal, mostly because I wanted to create something different from mt usual formats and this one seemed to be something I haven’t really tried before.

The only thing I’ll say here is that I really like this color scheme; it came together perfectly! I’ll definitely come up with some other themes I can do with the same colors.

Finally, this half-born Frankenstein’s monster. What happened here is that basically I didn’t have he time to create a proper weekly spread, but I still wanted to plan and I wanted it to look good in the future.

So I mapped out the decorations and big elements here in pencil, and as the week goes on and I find the little time here and there to finish the setup, I will, and hopefully, eventually it will be a good weekly spread like all the others.

And that’s it, this is all the layouts I have for November. My new approach with just the essential pages really works for me, and I have my memory-keeping journal for all the fun, creative things.

Let me know, by the way, if you want to see more of my memory-keeping pages. I’ve been trying a little bit of junk journaling there as well.
