19. Minimalist bullet journal yearly calendar
With a mega bullet journal stencil set, you can make perfect numbers to have your bullet journal spread stand out. So ridiculously easy. (via Pin source)
20. Minimalist bullet journal annual overview & events log
Or simply writing the numbers yourself will suffice as well. (via Pin source)
21. Minimalist bullet journal future log - vertical
Tall, skinny lettering for the titles are a great way to draw focus without having too much embellishment. (via @bulletjournal)
22. Minimalist bullet journal future log - horizontal
Just switching the placement of elements of your future log page can break up monotony, if that's something you may be concerned about. (via Pin source)
23. Minimalist bullet journal monthly cover with simple banner
It's easy to get carried away with decorations on what could be a really simple page. Just a few lines, a nice banner, and highlighting make this a monthly cover that stands out. (via Pin source)
24. Minimalist bullet journal monthly calendar
If you feel the need to add a few lines, how about just the corners of your monthly log calendar? (via Pin source)
25. Minimalist bullet journal monthly cover with floral embellishment
Or a bold box doesn't hurt. A simple bullet journal doodle like this colorful flower at the top gives this page a little personality. (via Pin source)
26. Minimalist bullet journal vertical monthly log
One of easiest ways to make a monthly calendar spread is to make a vertical log with the dates running in a column. Add a little character with some bullet journal font styling in your title. (via @luckyletters)
27. Minimalist monthly cover and calendar
This page is a little busier, but it keeps everything together without having too much extra "stuff." (via Pin source)
28. Most minimalist bullet journal weekly spread
Now let's get into some weekly spreads, since that is probably what makes the bulk of your bullet journal. I don't think it gets simpler than a spread like this. The month in top corner, initial of the day of the week, and a line that separates the date section from the notes section. (via Pin source)
29. Minimalist bullet journal weekly spread landscape
Yet another simple weekly spread that includes boxes with the day of the week at top. (via Pin source)
30. Minimalist weekly spread with tasks bubble
In this spread, the cursive script for the day of the week makes the top border of each day's box. A circle is cleverly used for tasks on the side, differentiating it from the rest of the week's notes. (via @bullet.journal101)
31. Monochromatic minimalist bullet journal weekly spread
In true minimalist form, the gray highlighting at the top for tasks and notes keeps this page to a monochromatic theme. (via Pin source)
32. Minimalist bullet journal weekly spread with circle header
This page makes a statement for sure. Huge numbers in a bold circle with the absence of column lines make for nice minimalistic balance. (via @pacificnotation)
33. Minimalist weekly spread with no column lines
Another weekly spread without any column lines. The white space at the top really sets the focus on the weekly spread very well, despite it not comprising of much. (via Pin source)
34. Minimalist bullet journal monthly spread
If you do want a border but not necessarily drawing a strong,
black line, you could use a highlighter. (via Pin source)
35. Another minimalist bullet journal weekly spread
Highlighting is also use subtly in this spread. Notice too how spacing the words in the days of the week helps to create a header border. (via @pinyasdesk)
36. Minimalist bullet journal weekly spread with wreath header
Speaking of headers, this one uses an easy open wreath to set the day of the week apart from the rest of the spread quite nicely. (via Pin source)
37. Minimalist bullet journal weekly spread with washi header
If you're a fan of using washi tape in your bullet journal, here's a clever, minimalist use of it to embellish the date headers. I think it really adds a nice personal touch to the spread. (via @journalspiration)
38. Minimalist bullet journal weekly spread lettering in block shape
Speaking of personality, here's another spread that uses stencils and lines, which are otherwise not very unique, to put their spin just by how these elements are placed on the page. (via Pin source)
