Finally caved and used a monthly log after swearing by weekly spreads for a year

I visited my cousin's house in Phoenix last weekend and saw her bullet journal setup. She had a simple monthly log on one page with just tasks and events. I always thought monthlies were a waste of space since I plan week by week. But watching her flip through and see everything at a glance made me realize how much time I waste flipping between weeks. Has anyone else switched formats after seeing a different method work for someone else?

Stick with weekly spreads if they work for you, just try adding a quick monthly overview page too.

Oh man, that's such a good point! I've been doing weekly spreads for years and never thought to add a monthly overview page, but it makes so much sense (kind of like a cheat sheet for the big picture). I bet that would help me stop flipping back through old weeks to remember what's coming up next month. Even just a simple list of deadlines and events on one page would save a ton of time. Really gonna try this out, thanks for the idea!
