Since my other posts with bullet journal layout ideas (vertical weekly, daily, monthly planning, one page weekly, and minimalist) have been popular there was one left on my list… horizontal weekly!

1. Double sidebar

You could change the work section to project or meals, to do, journal etc.

2. Multi-tasker

If you’re using your bullet journal for work and personal, school and personal etc. this is a quick layout to do. If you want to add some color you could do highlighted lines like in the image below (great for color coding too), or color in the boxes with the day and date between the 2 sections for each day.

Another layout if you want to use your planner for 2 things but want a separate checklist for each

… Or try this layout if you want just one checklist for the entire week

3. Scheduling

if you want to schedule but don’t want to use vertical columns, split the box in half like this instead. Now you have the entire width of the page to plan AM and PM. And an excuse to add some color to the page.

4. The List Maker

If you prefer to work off a to do list rather than allocating tasks to each day, try this layout. And if you did want to allocate tasks, you could write the days in colored pen or highlighter and use the same colors when writing your to do list. Or just write in black and add color using highlighters.

5. Side Hustler

If you have a blog, Youtube channel, do direct sales or have another sort of side hustle this layout keeps everything separate. And since most of us have more time for our passion projects once the work week is over, the Saturday and Sunday section are bigger.

The checklist stamp is this one from MAMBI.

6. Giant weekend

… And if that’s still not enough weekend space, try this spread

7. Top 3

Avoid overwhelm by focusing on just 3 tasks for each day. Or instead of using the rest of the daily spread for more journaling, appointments etc., use it for your ‘should do’ and ‘if you have time’ tasks

8. Weekly habit tracker

A typical horizontal weekly spread but with a habit tracker, weekly goal and notes at the top of the page instead of the bottom like most planners do.

If you don’t want a combined Saturday and Sunday section, you could replace notes with another day of the week.

9. Even sized boxes for each day

Looks good in one color, 2 colors, 3 colors etc.

10. Back to basics

And if you don’t like any of these layouts you could always revert back to a very basic spread like this:
