For my bullet journal summer bucket list this year, I went with a blue theme because I wanted it to remind me of the beach and the ocean.

I added way fewer things to do on my bucket list this year than last year when I added 45! I completed almost all of them, but it took a lot of work. This summer, I want a little bit more time to relax and to just do things that aren't necessarily planned so I only added 25 things to my bucket list. See what my bullet journal summer bucket list from last year looked like here.

Last year, I also added things that I had to do every day, and I decided not to do that this year, because then if I miss a day, then I can't cross it off my list. The only thing on my list, that I hope to do almost every day, is exercising five times a week.

Doing some of the things on my list every day last year, did help me create new habits. For example, one of the things on my list was to journal every day, and it is a habit I have continued for a whole year now. So if you are looking to create a new habit, then consider adding it to your summer bucket list because it definitely worked for me! Just remember to make it a small task, so it isn't too much to keep up with.

Now let's get into how I made this layout.

I used only two colors on this layout like I usually do, but I used a bunch of different shades of blue, to mix things up, instead of actually only using two colors. (I hope this makes sense. :) )

To make this layout more minimalist, I did the header all in black. When I started this layout, I had pretty much no idea of how I wanted it to look, so I started it off with simple a simple header.

For each item on my summer bucket list, I added a number with the black outlined circle around it. Then to add some color, I used a blue marker to make a drop shadow. I think it makes it look a little bit more abstract and modern.

Then I wrote what the item is, in small capital letters. If there was enough room, I would add a small doodle next to the item.

If it is something that I am going to be doing multiple times, then I added a row of dots underneath, which I will fill in with my black Sharpie marker, as I complete it. In the picture above, you can see that I have already read 1/10 of the books I am going to read.

I tried to switch up the colors I used, but some of my blue markers are in very similar shades. :)

Because I only have 25 items on my bullet journal summer bucket list this year, I had extra room on the second page. Last year, my summer bucket list was three pages long and it didn't have a "Memories" section. The pages were smaller though! Anyway, I decided to add a "Memories" section to this layout. This way, I have a spot to record all of the fun things I do this summer. :)
