Sharing is caring!

There are so many styles for your Bullet Journal; everyone can create something perfect just for them. In this post, I want to talk about simple Bullet Journal weekly spread designs.

I know we are all busy people, be it studying or working, and I think it would be horrible to neglect your journal simply because you have no time to draw all the beautiful spreads.

That’s why today I gathered for you amazing minimalist Bullet Journal weekly spreads, which will take you no time to set up and will help you stay productive with your journal, even when you’re super busy.

I love minimalism in a Bullet Journal. The pages look clean and aesthetic, and it’s really the best way to start with your Bullet Journal.

Minimalist Bullet Journal spreads are also the most time-efficient way to set up your journal; that’s why I always recommend giving them a try when you’re too busy to be artistic.

Personally, I’m not really a minimalist myself – adding doodles and decorating my pages are some of my favorite things about Bullet Journaling. However, even I find my way to minimalist spreads, especially for my weekly setups.

And before we go into the meat of this post, be sure that you get your FREE printables at the end of the post!

What Makes Minimalist Bullet Journal

Minimalism is really a concept that means something different to everyone, including minimalism in your Bullet Journal.

However, here are a few thoughts and common traits that minimalist Bullet Journal spreads share:

  • Practical, clean, and simple design
  • Use of monochrome colors mostly, even though some color accents might be present as well
  • A lot of white negative space
  • Clean lines, simple shapes, line drawings
  • Layouts are pretty fast to create

Who Are Minimalist Bullet Journal Spreads For

Minimalist setups are Bullet Journaling in its purest form. Therefore, first and foremost, minimalist spreads are the best for Bullet Journal beginners.

When you start a Bullet Journal it can get pretty overwhelming with all the page ideas and decorations. 

Starting from minimalist setups, though will help you to get in the habit of journaling and discover how to use the system the best way possible. After that, you’re, of course, free to explore other styles, but by that time, you’ll already have a solid base and know what you want from your BuJo.

This type of Bullet Journal spread will also be fantastic for you if you’re not very artistic.

Even though I know for sure everyone can learn how to doodle, not all of us have the time or desire to learn. So, if you’re still not confident in your creative skills or just don’t feel like investing your time into decorating your journal, minimalism is exactly for you.

You don’t need much to create minimalist Bullet Journal spreads, they still look absolutely stunning, and moreover, they are still super functional and help you get the most out of your planning.

Finally, minimalist spreads will be perfect for you if you’re just a very busy person. Setting up a spread like this takes only around 15 minutes, so you can keep planning even in the busiest of times.

Supplies To Create Minimalist Bullet Journal Spreads

To create a minimalist spread, you really just need one black pen. However, there is still widget room for more, and I always think that it’s more fun and exciting when you plan to use stationery, you love.

So here are a few of my favorites when it comes to creating minimalist layouts:

  • Fineliners. For any Bullet Journal page, be it minimalist or artistic, you need a good set of fineliners. I recommend getting Sakura Pigma Micron pens, which also come in a set of different nib sizes, providing a wide variety of line thicknesses.
  • Tombow Fudenosuke. This brush pen is very easy to master and is perfect for adding brush lettering to your Bullet Journal pages. These pens are also great for drawing if you feel like adding some minimalist decorations.
  • Monochrome Brush Pens. For a great variety of monochrome colors, you can’t go wrong with Tombow Dual Brush monochrome set. Great for coloring as well as for brush lettering.
  • Writing pen. You’ll need a good writing pen, and there are so many to choose from! I recommend getting Muji pens because they create beautiful thin lines and look aesthetic as well.

Ok, enough talking about stationery; let’s dive in and look at the beautiful weekly spreads in a minimalist style that I found for you.

  1. I have ADHD Inattentive and extra designs are pretty but put me in a panic leading to procrastination leading to not starting or completing things – even 1 page of a bujo so these ideas are perfect. I like the original Ryder Carroll’s version with a few extra lines so my eyes can stay focused but not much more. Thank you for this great post!

  2. I like all of these minimalist bullet journal layouts! Sometimes fancier isn’t better and so all of these minimalist layouts look perfect the way they are. :)
