The beauty of the Bullet Journal system is that you can use it any way you want and customize it to your needs. There is no right or wrong way to journal, just your way. So if you feel like using weekly spreads – don’t obsess by the fact that Ryder Carroll doesn’t use them; you do you!

Stationery Recommendations
But first, let’s have a quick chat about stationery. You can use whatever you already have, but it’s always more fun when you plan with special pens that are good quality and you enjoy using.
So here are a few of my best recommendations for stationery for creating weekly spreads:
- Fineliners. These are the basics for every Bullet Journal page, perfect for drawing and doodling. I recommend Sakura Pigma Micron, which also comes in a set with different nib sizes, allowing you a variety of line thicknesses.
- Markers. If you want to add color to your pages, you’ll need some markers. Your choice will depend on what colors you like. My top choices are Zebra Mildliners and Tombow Twin Tone.
- Brush pens. To add beautiful brush lettering to your weekly spreads, you need a good set of brush pens. I recommend Tombow Fudensuke since they are smaller tips and pretty easy to master. If you’re looking for a larger brush pen and something with tons of colors, you can’t go wrong with Tombow Dual Brush Pens.
- Stencils. These little helpers are great to allow you to set up your weekly spreads faster. I recommend these weekly spread stencils that are built specifically for your weekly pages.
Now that you have all your supplies and are ready to start creating, let’s dive in and look at some Bullet Journal weekly spreads.
Bullet Journal Weekly Spreads To Try Right Now
There are many weekly spreads in this post, so I'll be dividing them by different types according to their style. These weekly spreads are also created by different artists, so you'll be able to see plenty of different styles and aesthetics.
I have no doubt you'll be able to find something that will inspire you to create your own unique weekly pages. And if you still need more, check the end of the post for more inspiration.
So let's dive in!
Colorful Weekly Spreads
Let's start with the colorful weekly pages. I love these; color always adds more fun and excitement for me.
Also, it’s always a fun way to add a theme to your month - just use the same colors on all your spreads, and there you go - the monthly theme is done!
When we say colorful spreads there are a few ways to go about it. First, you can simply decorate your spreads with colors and maybe some pretty fonts, just like these pages below. Another way to create colorful pages is by adding colorful doodles.
I love how this spread has beautiful muted colors, so it's still colorful but they don't steal your attention right away.
Nicole is always so creative with her pages.
I think it's extra fun how each daily box is absolutely different, and yet they are all in the same theme.
Using brush pens as watercolor is a neat trick, and it definitely makes your markers much more functional.
I'm also loving how much the colors here contrast with the black of the headers and daily boxes.
Love this spread and the style, the creator managed to make an Animal Crossing layout by keeping her own drawing aesthetics. I adore the little details like the washi tape she drew herself.
It's a beautiful spread, and I love all the different types of green.
Another cool trick is that this weekly spread is a dutch door, that way there is a lot of space for daily boxes, but also extra space for study notes and whatever else is hiding on the other side.
Hayley always has such a well-structured and organized weekly spread, and this one with time blocking is no exception.
I'm loving the bright colors; it definitely made the tasks a little bit less daunting and scary.
This is not exactly a weekly spread, it seems like this is more like a weekly journaling page.
But it's so happy and so full of color, I had to include it here. Plus you can always just add a to-do list instead of journaling, and it will work perfectly as a weekly spread.
This creator managed to perfectly capture the charm of the dwarfs. I love how every dwarf has their own color and that the colors are so very bright.
So much color in this one! I think it's a risky idea to fill out the entire background with color, but I think it worked so well on this one.
What a cute idea to bring a puppy to the Bullet Journal pages. And I can only admire the artistic abilities of this creator because the drawings are so good!
Red is not usually my color, but here it looks so absolutely stunning. I think I really love that red here is used as an accent and not the overwhelming main color.
Minimalist Weekly Spreads
The minimalist Bullet Journal style is gorgeous. As you guessed from the name, it means that every spread is stripped to essentials and has almost no decorations and any extra flourishes. Less is more.
But as you'll see with tehse weekly layouts, these poaages still loo beautiful and very stylish.
This spread looks amazing, I think especially because it's black and white.
For minimalist spreads like these, I always feel like the best decoration is handwriting.
There is so much beauty in simplicity, these pages definitely make me want to try minimalist style myself.
I also feel like if you want to go minimalist using stamps or stencils can really help.
It's amazing how simple accents can add so much to the page. For anything metallic, my go-to are definitely Sakura Gelly Roll, which are the best gel pens in my opinion.
Isn't handwriting on this page absolutely stunning?
And a splash of grey instead of black also looks amazing, I'd definitely recommend this set of Tombow Dual Brush Pens for that.
Simple Bullet Journal Weekly Spreads
Let’s say you want to have pretty simple pages that wouldn’t take a long time to set up, but you also don’t want to go full minimalist.
Don’t fret! There are very simple weekly spreads that will take you no time to set up but still will have some color and fun in them.
A pretty easy weekly spread, especially when you consider that the creator used a stencil for the daily boxes.
Little accents of washi tape also look great. I'm always game if I get to use a vast washi tape collection.
I love how little elements like colorful headers and shadows add so much to the spread.
I'm also wondering what pens she used to create this spread, I love how bright and vivid they are.
It's such a beautiful weekly spread, and I love how the daily boxes are not exactly there completely. I kind of hate creating lines with rulers in my journal, so I'm always up for some ideas that don't require that.
I love this art style with just blobs of color, it's an easy technique to elevate your Bullet Journal decoration.
Flowers are always a great way to add a bit of spark to your journal pages. I love how they add color and fun to the layout without overpowering it.
I love this spread and how it has space for both your to-do list and daily journaling.
One Page BuJo Weekly Spreads
This has been my obsession lately! One-page weeklies are great if you have a non-busy week and kind of just need to keep track of some major events or projects.
Alternatively, it can be a great choice if you have a larger size notebook, like my Nuuna or if your journal is B5.
You simply might not need that much space, and one page can be enough.
Love these and how they are in a kind of rainbow pattern.
It's an easy way to add more design to the page without decorations occupying too much space.
I like that in this weekly I actually had enough space to write a full-on to-do list.
A weekly to-do list is something I always love having on my spread, and sometimes, if it's one page weekly, there is just no space for it.
I think not many things will fit on this page, but it does look amazing. It's probably a good idea for a bit of a chill week.
What a gentle weekly spread with those soft pink colors.
It's also so wonderfully structured and somehow still has so much space for everything.
This might be a good one for a rolling weekly or just a to-do list for the entire week.
I like that there are these little daily boxes on the left for scheduling any important event or deadlines.
The vertical format is probably the best when it comes to a one-page weekly spread.
And it's always cool to add a little splash of color like here.
I love the scrapbook approach to decorating a weekly spread. Different types of paper layered just look so cool, wouldn't you agree?
Dutch Door Weekly Log
This type of page is for the times when you need a bit more space in your weekly spread but still want to have a complete weekly overview.
Yes, to create this spread you’ll need to cut your journal, believe me it’s not that big of a deal once you do it.
The key here is not to cut the same part every time, because this might unbalance your journal. If you’re planning to use Dutch doors more than just once, simply organize it differently so another part of the page is cut.
I love the creativity behind cutting out a pattern and not just a straight line. I also really like how the color stands out against all the black elements.
The idea of coloring inside the daily boxes is so fun, with more subtle colors like these it won't even interfere with writing your daily tasks.
This is another take on a creative approach to a Dutch door weekly.
It looks great and definitely gives more space for decorating.
This is the basic Dutch door setup and the one I always recommend people to get started with. Simple because it's easier to cut a straight line, and this way, you're not cutting next to the binding.
This weekly spread is simply incredible. The colors, the handwriting - it all came together looking just right.
This Dutch door might not be that obvious, but it basically allows you to have big daily pages and have an outlook of your week at the same time.
If you recreate this one, just be sure to be careful with cutting next to the binding.
Circle Weekly Spreads
I tried those and really there is no practical reason to use such a format. I didn't find it particularly convenient for planning.
However, it is super fun to create them, and they do look very original once you’re done.
This was my first circle weekly, and it definitely was a fun one. But note that this journal is larger than an A5 size, so it might not look the same if you use it in a usually sized journal.
This is probably the most effective way to use a circle weekly - to put it in the middle for decoration.
This came out looking great and with enough space for everything needed.
All the pinks and flowers are so beautiful. I must say, though that this is also in a Nuuna journal, so it might look a bit different in an A5 journal.
A very creative idea with circles. Instead of making the entire spread a circle, just use circles for daily entries.
Mandalas are a great decoration to add to a circle weekly spread. And the best part is that every time you create a different-looking mandala, which you can also do with color for a completely different style.
Weekly Spreads With Everything
Sometimes you might need to track a lot of things in your life, and this type of weekly spread can be helpful.
It’s really easier to monitor and follow through when it’s in shorter periods. If you start a diet it’s easier to talk yourself through it week by week than the entire month.
Plus, some weeks you might need trackers, some weeks you might not.
But there are many more things you can add to your weekly spread, and here are some ideas on how you can do it.
So much is packed in this spread, and yet it's still clear and very easy to follow. I think the use of different colors also helped to kind of divide the information.
What a gorgeous green spread, Nicole as always never disappoints. I love how the creator managed to fit so much in one weekly spread, and have space for some doodles as well.
It's unbelievable how much information the creator of this spread managed to put in such a small journal.
From the way I see it, this journal is just a B6-sized one, much smaller than your usual A5.
This is such a well-structured weekly spread and it's looking very neat as well. Loving the extra ideas like a list of weekly favorites and things to do later.
I'm obsessed with the color palette of this weekly spread, looking so classic.
Also, as you can see, there are so many things included in this weekly as well, and yet it has so much space for your daily to-do list.
I feel like a secret to adding a lot of information to your weekly spread is to add things in boxes, like in this weekly spread.
Artistic Weekly Spreads
I left these for last since they are so gorgeous.
A lot of people are using their Bullet Journal as an artistic outlet, and it’s amazing. Honestly, I’m so stunned by how these pages look, I’d probably just put them into a frame.
Isabel always created such amazing illustrations, they definitely have to go on a wall, not just a Bullet Journal.
I'm also loving that she used my favorite label maker to add the headers and the quote.
As I mentioned before, a circle weekly spread is perfect to add a huge decoration inside.
This looks incredible, with such an amazing watercolor background and linework.

Thanks for this :)
I’ve been interested in bullet journaling for a while (have even purchased my doted notebooks ready to get started), but I’m not someone who draws or doodles. While some of the images in your post were a little bit much for my abilities, there were quite a few that looked simple and stylish.
Thank You – I’m now more confident about getting started.

Hello Lyndall! So happy it was helpful =) And you don’t need to draw or doodle, stickers and washi can do just as well. Or maybe some minimalistic pages!! Have fun with your journal =)
