Simple Weekly Layout & Template

Something you may quickly start to see with me is that I love weekly layouts! I have a different weekly layout for different types of weeks depending on how busy I am or how much time I want to spend setting up the weekly layout. With that in mind here is another weekly layout and template!

If you would like to see how I set up this spread in my bullet journal I have included the template at the bottom of the post. The template is designed around the Leuchtturm1917 A5 dot grid as this is the notebook I use.

This is a great weekly layout if you need a quick spread that has a place to see your week ahead at a glance and in a little more detail than your monthly layout. I come back to this weekly set up time and time again, it's simple but has enough space for everything I need. There are three main sections to this weekly layout; a quick view of the week ahead, a place to jot down those tasks you want to complete but not necessarily on a specific day and a space for any notes!

Week overview

The main aspect of this spread is the weekly view. The left side of the spread is dedicated solely to this and is my saviour on a Sunday evening when I sit down to tackle what I hope to achieve in the week ahead. The daily boxes are big enough to hold upcoming events and any day specific tasks. With a goals section encouraging me to define my priorities I can get to work on planning what I need to do, and when, during the week ahead. 

Now the coloured in tasks! I used to be colour code obsessed, colour coding everything to the point where I had so many colours I didn't know what colour was what anymore! So for my bullet journal I have kept to my plan and have barely colour coded anything. Instead, for this layout, at the end of each day I colour in all the completed tasks with any colour I fancy. I do this as it makes for quick reference when I turn to this page to plan my daily log as I can quickly see the day I am on as it will be the first set of task boxes with no colour, and well, because I love adding colour to the page - I just can't help it!

Tasks

On the right of the page there is a tasks section. I use this to jot down any tasks that come up throughout the week that need to be completed but are not necessarily time sensitive. I tend to pick from these when I am planning my daily logs depending on how much spare time I expect to have during the day.

Notes

Finally, a notes section! I use this box to jot down anything that I need to keep in mind or need reminding of. This could be events that are happing at the beginning of next week so I am not surprised on Sunday that I have an appointment for something first thing Monday morning! I also use this section to note down anything that doesn't really have a place anywhere else.

I hope you found this helpful in some way. For anyone interested I have the layout of this spread for a Leuchtturn1917 A5 dot grid notebook below.
