I tend to change the design and layout of my weekly spreads each week, depending on how much time I have and how creative I feel. This, for me, is one of the best parts of creating my own journal rather than using a pre-printed diary.
We have a huge range of stencils to help you set up your week, and each one will create a slightly different style of spread.
Here are a few different ideas for types of weekly spread you can try…
Vertical Week:
A two page spread with days of the week running vertically down one page, with habit tracker, to do list, social media logging etc. all on the other page.
Horizontal Week:
Boxes for the days of the week run horizontally across both pages. With space for all the additional info above and below.
Hexagon Week:
he Hexagon spread is often given a honey bee theme due to its honeycomb like appearance. Get the hexagon & bee stencil here.
Heptagon Week:
The Heptagon is divided into 7 sections to represent the days of the week, the second page is used to house my to-do list etc. Get the Heptagon stencil here.
Single Page:
A low detail overview of the week. More detail can be then placed into daily spreads.
Dutch Door:
Dutch Door spreads involve cutting pages, and is a way of providing more space for each day whilst still having all the key weekly info visible. Read more about how to create Dutch Door spreads here.
Miscellaneous:
On top of these basic layouts, there are some weeks where I go a bit wild with the layout! See some examples below.
