One Page Bullet Journal Weekly Spread Ideas

Bullet Journal weekly spread ideas are a game-changer for staying organized while keeping things creative and compact. Even if they are not part of the original system, by now they are a well-recognised essential element of your Bullet Journal.

After years of experimenting with layouts, I’ve discovered the beauty of one-page BuJo weekly spreads. They’re perfect for those who want to streamline their planning process without sacrificing functionality or style.

In this post, I’ll share some of my favorite one-page designs that balance simplicity and efficiency, making them ideal for busy weeks. Whether you’re a minimalist or love a touch of flair, these layouts will inspire you to make the most of your Bullet Journal space.

Let’s dive into the details!

I believe if you’re here, you already know what weekly spreads are, so let’s not go over that again. But let’s instead talk about one-page weekly layouts.

Usual format for a weekly spread is to have two pages, but there are plenty of benefits you can get from cutting itdown to just one page, and this is the format I’ve been using nonstop for the last two years.

One page weekly is amazing for many reasons, but let’s approach it structurally and let me give you a bullet point lisr witj soem of my favorite reasons:

When you have less space to plan and to decorate, it becomes easier to set up the page. I recognised that when I have very limited space, I don’t overthink how to decorate it, and creating a weekly layout becomes much faster and calmer.
One-page weekly spreads work perfectly if you have a larger-sized journal. So not your usual A5, but maybe a B5, or a non-standard size like my Nuuna. One page will actually give you all the space you really need for planning.
Using just one page for your weekly spreads also helps you to save space in your journal, so it might last longer. My Nuuna journal actually lasted for a year and a half the first time I used it, and with my second journal and one-page weekly layouts, I think it could last me two years or even longer.

Here is the thing: all these reasons are valid, but the important thing is for you to plan the way that works best for you. So if one page works for you, look at all these points as a benefit.

But don’t try to use one page weekly just to make your journal last longer if you’re feeling like they are not giving you all you need from planning.

Ok, now that we discussed that, let me quickly give you some recommendations for my favorite supplies that I’ve been using for creating the layouts I’m sharing today.

Stationery Recommendations

I always think that the right supplies will not just help you make your pages prettily, but also make the whole setup easier to manage.

So here are a few of my favorites that I’m sure you’ll love and find useful as well.

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.
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. There are options for one page or any other style of weekly layouts to choose from.

Staedtler Color Pen Set, Set of 36 Assorted Colors...

Tombow 56185 Dual Brush Pen Art Markers, Bright...

Zebra Clickart Water-Based Pen Bright Light...

Ok, now that you have all your supplies ready, let’s look at these weekly layouts and find one that sparks your creativity.

One Page BuJo Weekly Spread Ideas

I’ve been using one-page weekly spreads for a while now. I started usingthem mostly because my journal is a bit bigger than a standard A5, but eventually I found myself going back to them more and more, and now it’s the only type I use.

I basically thought of how much space I actually use for planning, how full my daily boxes are after a week. And I saw that, actually, I was wasting a lot of space with two-page weekly spreads.

So right now I have graduated to doing something utterly insane – creating a weekly spread that doesn’t include the weekend!

Ok, let’s look at my pages one by one.

Simple Coffee Weekly Spread

I think this was one of the first times I created a one-page weekly spread, and it’s pretty obviousthis one was created specifically so I can do it quickly.

The decorations and structure are as simple as can be, and looking back, I might have even created this page as I was planning day by day and not right away.

Structured Weekly Log

This weekly layout I created has acompletely different vibe. Everything is divided and well-sectioned.

I love this format because it allows for two extra spaces. Here, I chose to fill out one with doodles and another one with the dates of the week, but they can be easily repurposed for a weekly to-do list or maybe a weekly habit tracker.

Floral One Page Weekly

I don’t think I ever posted this layout because it didn’t turn out well, definitely not the way I envisioned it.

But it’s an interesting format, so I thought I’d share – it’s basically one big to-do list, and I have daily boxes just for events and tasks that are date-specific.

Cute Weekly Spread

I really like this weekly layout, and I’m happy with how it turned out. It looks exactly how I envisioned!

And the good thing here is that it’s a great example of cute things you can create when you have the right stationery, because I basically used only washi tape and stickers for decorating.

Dark Weekly Layout

This weekly spread follows the same structure a nd just like in theprevious one, I basically only used stickers and washi tape. It was a very easy setup to make.

You can see how different it looks, and the aesthetic looks nothing like the cuteness of the previous weekly spread!

Bullet Journal Weekly Layout

Let’s jump back in time to my very first Bullet Journal in 2018. This was my first very cheap journal that I got on Amazon, and in three or so months, the binding actually completely broke.

But it was a good first try in the Bullet Journal world.

But back to the weekly spread- here is one more klayout, and this time you’ll see something missing – there is no weekend! I think that week we were leaving for a trip on Saturday, so I thought I wouldn’t really be planning.

Running To Do List

Another format you can use for your one-page weekly spread is a running to-do list, and this layout I created is a great example of that.

The way it works is easy – you can use your columns for the days of the week, and on the other side, you write all your tasks. When the task is complete, you mark on which day of the week you actually did it.

I don’t use this format much because I prefer to plan day by day and keep a daily to-do list rather than just one covering the entire week.

But this format is easy and fast to create, and it may be a perfect fit for you when you just need to keep planning.

Reading Themed Weekly Log

This weekly spread was created in September 2020, when I had my reading-themed Bullet Journal set up.

As you can see, I didn’t need a lot of space for my daily tasks, so almost half of the page here is decoration and such.

I think this format works very well for my Nuuna journal, because it has a bit larger page size and smaller grid size. For a usual A5 journal with a 0.5 grid, there might not be enough space. But you never know until you try!

Freehand Weekly BuJo Spread

I know we love to measure everything when it comes to creating a Bullet Journal layout, but you definitely can freehand it as I did with this weekly page.

I sketched it in pencil, kind of making sure the sections are more or less equal, and that’s it. Are they actually equal? Nope, not even close. But I look at it as a special feature, not a bug.

Ok, and white on black, I used for headers here is one of my favorite techniques, if you decide to use it, I would definitely recommend using Sakura Gelly Roll pens – they are the best gel pens on the market in my opinion!

Horizontal Weekly Log

As you can probably guess, I prefer vertical weekly spreads, but I occasionally create horizontal ones as well, such as this weekly layout from January 2025.

I think my problem with this style is that it leaves too much space unused. I don’t really need space for anything other than daily boxes and a weekly to-do list.

Of course, if you use more elements in your weekly layouts, this format might work better for you.

Stationery Themed BuJo Weekly

This one-page weekly spread was one of my favorite styles to create. I love how these different designs for each daily box look together!

When you create it once, it becomes very easy to repeat it, since you’ll already know the measurements, and this is basically dividing your page into equal 8 parts.

Sunflower Weekly Layout

I mentioned before how horizontal format doens’t work for me much because it leaves too much space unused.

Well, this was my solution, on a week when I wanted to get a bit more decorative, I used that empty space for doodles. I think it came out pretty cute and organised.

One Page Weekly Bullet Journal Spread

This was one of my favorite monthly setups for 2025, and I definitely love how this weekly spread turned out.

Yes, this was not the fastest one to create with all those extra decorative elements. But it did add joy to my planning, and it’s definitely worth something!

Aesthetic Weekly Spread

I feel like this layout came out very stylish!

As you probably already noticed, my weekends are often not planned, so here I came up with an idea of using the extra space usually left after a horizontal weekly spread to actually add smaller sections for the weekend.

I think it all worked out well! So if your weekends are also often left without much to write, you can use the same technique and just have that space for any urgent or specific things that have to take place on the weekend.

Colorful Weekly Layout

Last but not least is this weekly spread, where I again made a pretty bold decision of not adding any space for the weekend at all.

I must say, it worked well, and I have continued using this format for a while!

And that’s it, here are just a few of my one-page weekly spreads, and I’m sure you found at least something here that would give you an idea for a weekly layout for your own Bullet Journal.
