It’s officially spooky season, which means it’s time for my October bullet journal setup! This month, I went all-in on a spooky doodles theme filled with ghosts, bats, spiderwebs, and all the Halloween charm your bullet journal could ask for. From my cover page to my trackers, every spread is designed to capture that whimsical, cute-creepy October energy that makes this season so much fun.

Cover Page
I kicked off my October bullet journal setup with a cover page full of Halloween doodles — think floating ghosts, little bats, and cobweb corners. I kept the color palette broad with plenty of color make it feel festive and whimsical. This page instantly sets the tone for the rest of the month and gets me excited to open my journal every day.
Monthly Calendar Spread
A full two-page calendar layout is always a must for me, and October’s is no exception! I added one of my favorite washi tapes to the top and bottom of this spread — just enough to keep it playful while still functional. It’s the perfect balance between seasonal fun and everyday organization.
Mood Tracker
For my mood tracker, I created a set of witch’s legs. As the days go by, I’ll fill in each section of the witch’s stockings with a color that matches my mood, slowly creating a fun and whimsical pair of witch’s legs. It’s such a fun way to see my emotions come together over the course of the month.
Habit Tracker
My habit tracker is another tetris board. This has been such a fun and different way to keep me motivated to stay consistent with my daily routines. There’s just something about filling in the entire line and working my way up the board (page)!
