Bullet Journal Weekly Spread Ideas
Last week I shared Bullet Journal tracking spreads to try this year as part of your Bullet Journal set up and that list has gone viral, so today I wanted to inspire you with some amazing bullet journal weekly spread ideas.
When I first started my Bullet Journal I followed the official instructions to get started and while I had a functional list of tasks it looked pretty boring.

Bullet Journal Dreamcatcher Weeklies
I love dream catchers. There’s just something about the design that is so whimsical and of course they help to weed out our bad dreams from the good.
The weekly spread ideas I’m sharing here are all beautiful and I hope they’ll inspire you to try something similar in your own journal.
1 | Vertical weekly spread with decorative header
Have you ever tried a vertical weekly? I like how this one is laid out with the calendar box and then the pretty dreamcatcher beads and feathers as a decorative header.

It takes some patience to draw this many dreamcatchers into a spread but they look so good as placeholders for the dates!
