Keeping with our perfect spreads for beginners theme we are going to cover some easy bullet journal monthly spreads. Easy monthly spreads are great for more than just beginners. Bullet journalers who want a minimalist or simple look for ease of creation can take advantage of the easy to duplicate spreads.
I highly recommend that bullet journal beginners go with minimalist spreads and layouts for at least the first month or so. By keeping things simple while you are first getting into the habit of using your bullet journal you are less likely to feel overwhelmed and give up.
Bullet journaling is an amazing creative outlet as well as productivity tool in your daily life. In order to reap all the benefits a bullet journal can give you, first you need to get into the habit of working in it daily.
You may find that you don’t need a large monthly spread that gets filled in but rather a one page spread for a quick go to for date reference. You may find the monthly spread is a great way to keep track of events to add to your daily spreads. Skipping the monthly spread entirely you may just want a one page weekly spread and daily spreads.
While you are figuring out which spreads work best for you in these beginning stages keep them simple till you make the decision on which ones you really want to keep.

Well I have to start somewhere so I’m showing you my easy monthly spread. For September and the purpose of this post I decided to go with a simple two page layout to track upcoming events easier.

By adding a colorful border this simple spread is instantly transformed into something pleasing to look at. The easy addition of pretty stickers to complete out the theme of the spread adds that extra splash of color.

This is a fantastic easy monthly spread to keep track of events and appointments with ease. By taking away the traditional calendar appearance you can treat your month like a list of to do’s to check off.

By adding a strip of washi tape at the top of this spread you can add a bit of design and color without doing super intricate designs.
A two-page spread is divided into morning, workday, and night. I love how the spread is divided into three time periods and the color-coding.
How To Fill Out Your Monthly Spread
Just like with other planner spreads how you use it is completely up to you. I personally use the monthly spread as a way to track birthdays, events, appointments, and various important tasks. Some people like to add notes, monthly goals, or monthly long trackers to their monthly spreads. While others create a different spreads for these things. It’s really all about what works best for you and your needs. There are people who do the monthly spread only to have a spot to be extra creative. The monthly spread is usually where you start a new theme for the month so it makes sense that it would be a great place for extra creativity. Before we get started here is a list of my recommended supplies. Recommended ProductsFrom time to time the Scribbles that Matter Journal is sold out on Amazon. When this happens third party sellers will try to sell the journal for an insane amount of money. DO NOT BUY THAT! Scribbles that Matter should be back in stock soon. My second favorite journal is the Essentials Dot Matrix, though I warn you the pages on this one are thinner and bleeding and shadows show up on opposite sides. However, it's a decent cheap journal if you are in a pinch and just want to get started.

Bullet Journal Monthly Spread Ideas
In order to create a monthly spread that will work best for you try creating a list of what you need from a monthly spread. This will help you to determine what type of spread you want to pick. Take pieces from some of your favorite spreads and piece them together to create your own unique monthly spread. This is what bullet journaling is all about. Creating a life planner that keeps you productive, improves mental health, and allows you to explore your own creativity.
