10 Bullet Journal Prompts for Autumn

Hi WashiGang crew! The cooler weather has arrived and it feels like Autumn. In Australia most people prefer to use the word Autumn over Fall (as a lot of Australia doesn't see the classic Autumn leaves that are present in cooler climates). Do you prefer to say Fall or Autumn? Either way, we have lots of beautiful Autumn/Fall themed stationery that's perfect for journaling about and planning for the change of season.

Have you been planning an Autumn themed spread in your bullet journal or planner? We have lots of ideas for you in today's blog!

Read on for 10 Bullet Journal Prompts for Autumn as well as our favourite Autumn themed stationery for decorating your journals and planners.

10 Bullet Journal Prompts for Autumn

1. Create an Autumn themed bucket list.

What activities are on your priority list for this Autumn? We love Autumn camping trips, pot luck dinners with friends, picnics, journaling and spending time in nature while the weather is just right!

2. How does the change in season make you feel?

Check in with yourself! Changes in season can prompt new feelings and ideas. How are you feeling in your body? (Sleepy, energetic, burnt out, excited etc). Does this time of year make you feel a certain way? Do you like the cooler weather and do you change your lifestyle habits at this time of year? Do you have different needs in the cooler weather?

3. Add a quote, poem or passage from a book about Autumn to your journal.

We love this beautiful poem about Autumn by Mary Oliver:

“Song for Autumn"

Don’t you imagine the leaves dream now
how comfortable it will be to touch
the earth instead of the
nothingness of the air and the endless
freshets of wind? And don’t you think
the trees, especially those with
mossy hollows, are beginning to look for

the birds that will come—six, a dozen—to sleep
inside their bodies? And don’t you hear
the goldenrod whispering goodbye,
the everlasting being crowned with the first
tuffets of snow? The pond
stiffens and the white field over which
the fox runs so quickly brings out
its long blue shadows. The wind wags
its many tails. And in the evening
the piled firewood shifts a little,
longing to be on its way.”

― Mary Oliver

4. List 5 things about Autumn that you're grateful for.

Finding your gratitude can help you to nurture a positive mindset for the changes that come with a new season. Focusing on your gratitude for Autumn is a great way to set yourself up with a positive attitude to approaching your upcoming Autumn activities with more confidence.

5. What things remind you of Autumn where you live?

Autumn in Australia can be a little different to the typical Autumn scenes we've come to know from British and American movies! The weather becomes cooler at night, but the days are usually still quite warm, with clear blue skies.

6. List your 5 favourite warm things!

Your favourite hot beverage, your favourite warm jumper/jacket, your favourite warm meal, your favourite cozy activity, your favourite person/animal/item to cuddle.

7. What memories do you have of Autumn?

Do you have memories of holidays during Autumn, music festivals, a wedding or eating a favourite meal as the weather gets cooler? Recall your favourite memories from an Autumn of the past.

8. What do you love and hate about the cooler weather?

Use this list to improve how you cope with the cooler weather this year.
ie Don't love the cold? - Get yourself a snuggly blanket or heater this year. Love hot chocolate? Work a daily or weekly hot chocolate into your routine.

9. Create the perfect Autumn playlist or watch-list.

First song that comes to mind... California Dreaming, of course! Or maybe Autumn Leaves! What movies or songs remind you of Autumn?

10. Create an Autumn themed title page to mark the change of season.

Use your favourite Autumn themed stickers & washi tapes, or try an Autumn leaf layout, like this Autumn leaf mood tracker.
