How To Choose The Perfect Calendar Spread?
First up, let’s take a quick look at which spread will be the best for you. There are four ways to use a calendar spread in your bullet journal:
- As a landscape
- Full page spread
- Two-page spread
- At the corner of the page
If you plan to keep track of important dates, appointments, meetings, and birthdays, then you might need a calendar that has sufficient space to track as many things as you can, especially if you foresee a busy month ahead.
A landscape, full-page, or even a two-page spread will be the ideal one to choose for this purpose however if you’re not looking to have this kind of spread taking up so much space, there’s a fantastic idea at the bottom of this roundup that will show you how to incorporate a mini-calendar that isn’t intrusive.
The majority of these layouts are really easy to recreate which you will see in a second but each of them is definitely worth the shot and effort.
