Bullet Journal september

In the Northern Hemisphere, September marks the slow, golden slide into autumn. Think crunchy leaves, back-to-school energy, warm sweaters, and comforting routines.
In the Southern Hemisphere, September is all about emerging from the chill. Springtime is blooming, the days are growing longer, and there’s a buzz of renewal in the air.
This makes September the perfect month to reset your goals, refresh your routines, and get excited about what’s next.
