Study plan
Creating a study plan is harder than I'd thought. I'm going to try different ideas to see if they work. I was thinking about dedicating a day of the week to write something specific, though I'm still figuring it out.
My best friend has a higher English level than mine and my sister is a Spanish-English translator, so I could ask them both for study material.
My main focus is on writing, as it's the skill I want to improve the most. However, I still want to practice speaking, reading and other skills. I also want to broaden my vocabulary.
Will it help with the correction if I write my journals in my native language? I've seen that some of the people who correct my journals study Spanish, but some others don't. I just want to know if it's worth it to take the time to do it.

Creating a study plan is harder than I'd thought it would be.
I think if you removed the `'d` from `I'd` it would sound better. You would only use `I'd` when you would use `I would`. I added `it would be` to sound more colloquial.
I'm going to try different ideas to see ifhow they work.
I think this sounds more natural. You mean to say you have these options and qualitatively see how good they are for your learning.

In English, the first letter of all nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, pronouns, etc., are all capitalized.

In English, you have to put a comma before the final conjunction is a list (and, or, etc.).

The "of the" isn't wrong, just unnecessary, it's the same with the second "some".
I just want to know if it's worth it to take the time to do it.
I don't think that this is wrong, but it would sound more natural if you said, "I just want to know if it's worth taking the time to do".

Great Job! Just a few corrections! I agree that it's really hard to come up with a new study plan (having to do it a few times myself). On the question of whether or not you should write your journals in Spanish, I would say you don't need to because your writing seems to be very clear and easily gets the meaning across. When I was a lower level (A2 - B1) I would, but once native speakers are able to understand your writing with only a few questions once in a while on higher level grammar structures, it becomes unnecessary. Moreover, if someone needs clarification on the correction, they generally tell you with a comment and you can comment back in order to clarify.

"Mine" is acceptable to the average native speaker, but this sounds more correct to me.

It already helps to know what someone's native language is. For example, I might not speak much Spanish, but based on the knowledge that I do have and any similarities to French, it's often possible for me to figure out the source of certain mistakes. Writing a version of the journal in one's native language can be helpful, if there is some ambiguity, but I tend to only refer to those if I'm having trouble understanding the writing.
Personally, I only write a native language version if the journal involves vocabulary with which I'm not familiar or if the journal is in a language that I do not speak well. Even rewriting something in one's own native language can be a lot of work: one might already know the underlying ideas, but one still has to phrase things properly in good style.
