September Bullet Journal Themes

September can bring a new schedule, a change in the weather, or simply another month to plan. These layouts offer a few ways to mark it in your journal.

Autumn themes feature in many of the examples, with leaves, warmer colors, and woodland details.

Choose the ideas that fit the season where you live and the pages you use.

September Bullet Journal Ideas

The collection below includes cover pages, monthly layouts, weeklies, and trackers.

Leaves, twigs, acorns, and mushrooms can make small repeated motifs in a bullet journal.

A squirrel could be another woodland detail to try.

Birds in a V-shaped flight pattern offer a simple repeated shape too.

Here are the September examples.

September Bullet Journal Cover Page

If you enjoy making a cover page, place it before your monthly planning pages. It's an optional divider, so leave it out if you don't need one.

Cute Fall Themes – Mushrooms

I like using mushrooms in September because I notice them outside at that time. Their small shapes are also enjoyable to draw.

Autumn Leaves

An older post by thejournaltea inspired this leaf cover. I used light orange and lavender for a different take on autumn colors.

I think you can never go wrong with some hand-lettering (I usually just try to do my best cursive lettering) and a doodle-y ornamental wreath as a monthly cover page. I use this cool circle-drawing tool to make circles in pencil first, then doodle over it with a fineliner. Once I'm done drawing all the little doodles, I just erase the circle.

September Habit Trackers

If your schedule is changing, a tracker can help you see how a routine fits.

Choose something useful to record rather than adding a habit because the calendar says it's time.

You might explore an evening routine or an activity tracker.
