Have you tried a bullet journal monthly spread yet? A monthly spread is an easy and beautiful way to see your whole month in one simple glance.

You can also have lots of fun with a monthly spread.

Maybe you want to theme your whole month to fit around a Holiday like Christmas or Halloween.

Another great idea is to get into the seasonal spirit with beautifully themed spreads for Summer or Spring.

Trying to decide how you want to layout your whole month can be a daunting task though.

What do you include in a bujo monthly spread? And how is best to set it out in your planner or diary?

I have collected up some of my favorite monthly bullet journal ideas to give you some inspo.

These ideas are great for those just starting on their bullet journal journey or pro’s alike.  If you are looking for general spreads to try or special layouts for Holidays and seasons, there will be something that gets your creativity going.

Don’t forget to take a look at my bullet journal weekly spread ideas too if you want a more in-depth calendar page for each week in the month.  

Tip: If you are new to bujo and all these words I am mentioning don’t make much sense to you yet, here are a few articles you should check out!

These pages are all part of the bullet journal system:

1. Bullet Journal Key
2. Bullet Journal Index
3. Bullet Journal Future Log

5. Bullet Journal Weekly Spreads
6. Bullet Journal Daily Spreads
7. Other Bullet Journal Collections

What is a Monthly Spread?

The Monthly Log or Monthly Spread is an overview of the entire month ahead. It is similar to the future log but here you can be more detailed about the short-term tasks coming up for the month.

You usually set it up using 2 pages. Here you write down here specific events and tasks as well as plans for making your goals happen and your focus for the month.

Just like anything in your bullet journal you can make it your own and add or remove things as they work or don’t work for you.

Below is a huge list of ideas to help you set up your monthly logs.
