Year in Pixels: How To + Free PDF Printable
Did you know you can track an entire year’s goal on one page in your bullet journal?
It’s called a year in pixels.
By making a simple grid you can track just about anything!
The most popular pixel tracker is a mood tracker. But as you’ll see in the images below, you can track so many things.
How to Do Year in Pixels
To make your own yearn in pixels, start with a blank page in your bullet journal.
Note: This tracker is easiest to make if you use graph or dot-grid paper in your bullet journal because you can use the lines or dots as guides.
Across the top of the page, mark off 13 boxes (one for each month of the year + a box for numbers).
Now, down the left side of the page mark off 31 boxes (one for each day of the month + a box for name of the month).
Connect all the lines to form boxes for every day of the year.
Number down the left hand side for each day of the month and letter across the top using the first letter of every month.
Title your year in pixels and create a key on the right side of the page.
Fill in all year long and watch yourself progress.

Year in Pixels Ideas
This mood tracker by @studyquill tracks moods for the entire year. Each pixels or box represents one day and gets colored in accordingly based on the overall feelings of the day.
This year in pixels mood tracker from @rozmakesplans only tracks three moods: happy, meh, and not ok.
What I love about this image is that it is showing the entire year completed and you can see the happy and meh days outweigh the not okay days.
@bujobyworld’s year in pixels is also a mood tracker. It’s flanked by stalks of lucky bamboo with varying shades of green to denote the mood of the day.
Most year in pixels bullet journal spreads feature one large box for the entire year. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can break it out by months just as @notes.in.forte did on this 2020 mood tracker page.
All of the year in pixels I’ve featured so far have been mood trackers but you can use them for just about anything you want to track!
Nina from @bujobeyond made a weather tracker year in pixels. It features bright yellow and orange for the sunny days and gray for rain and clouds.
There’s also a quote on the page, “to be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.” - George Santayana
Louise aka @_bujo_beginner makes reading a priority for 2020 with this year in pixels. The page is titled “Reading is Fundamental.”
This tracker is makes note of the number of chapters read each day and a simple dot notes each time a book is finished.
Have more than one year in pixels! You can track so many things why not use more than one annual tracker. @art.aniaty tracks both mood and weather in this minimalist bullet journal page spread.
Chanel aka @pashfam.chan tracks junk food and movements on this two-page year in pixels spread.
Junk food includes chocolate, ice cream, candy, chips, cookies, healthy treat, reward, takeout, and fast food. Each is color coded.
The movement tracker focuses on healthy activities and fitness including snowboard, ski, hike, walk, yoga, and gym.
You can use a year in pixels to track workouts, too. @yiyidada created a year in pixels bullet journal page and then decorated it with fitness icons.
The cute doodles include a “gym time” speech bubble, weights, jumprope, heart, water bottle, carrot, avocado, workout top, and headphones.
Here’s another year in pixels two-page spread. @kritzelkessel is tracking moods on one page and sleep on the other.
