Bullet Journal August
August is a fun one, it’s a bit of a wildcard depending on where in the world you are!
- In the Northern Hemisphere, August means late summer: think sunflowers, road trips, beach days, and maybe even back-to-school prep.
- In the Southern Hemisphere, August is the last cozy month of winter before spring peeks through. Hot drinks, warm knits, and snowflake spreads still feel perfect right now.
So let’s take that vibe and run with it. Your August bullet journal can match the weather or go totally opposite if you’re craving something different.

- August 1 – World Wide Web Day (tech-themed Bujo!)
