We are now going into April; this year is flying past and a new month means: new goals, new tasks and a fresh, new bullet journal theme. Not only is it a new bullet journal spread, but I am into a brand new bullet journal.
There is something so exciting about starting a new journal and fresh pages. I am now using a Yop & Tom baby blue cloud journal. After using my Archer & Olive journal, I want to make the positive change to vegan and/or eco-friendly notebooks.
Sometimes, the hardest part of creating your monthly bullet journal is picking a theme and page design. Once you have figured these things out, the rest of your monthly spread becomes easy.
Here are 20+ themes, designs and spread ideas that you can use for your bullet journal:
One Line
This is a spread that I introduced last month and I loved using it! The idea for this page is to write one line about what you did that day. It is a small reflection activity that you can do in your journal and it is a great spread to look back at in several months’ time. If you struggle with a chronic illness and your memory is sometimes affected, this spread can be invaluable.
Gratitude Tracker
Gratitude is about being thankful for what you have in your life. Practising gratitude can help with a variety of things including self-love, confidence and more. Using a similar layout to the one line page spread, this spread is a positive mental health habit that you should start. Practising gratitude is a powerful way to look after your mental health and build your self-esteem.
Blog Stats Tracker
If you are a blogger, this spread can be really helpful in tracking progress of your blog posts and engagement. If you own a small business, a tracker for sales, products and supplies can be a really beneficial way to stay organised.
Habit Tracker
Habit trackers are a great way tool to hold you accountable for the variety of tasks you want to ensure become habitual. You can use a number of different layouts that best suit your preferences and your theme. I love the use of habit trackers that act as motivation to get everything checked off the list each day. However, remembering that I need to follow steps to be productive, but also be aware of my limits.
Different theme ideas for your April Bullet Journal:
- Floral theme
- Umbrella and rain theme
- Bee theme
- Moon and star theme
- Bunny theme
- Pastel colour theme
- Fairy theme
- Decorative egg theme
Mood Tracker
Mood trackers work well highlight patterns in your mental health and your physical health. If you suffer with your mental health, mood trackers can help you relay any information to a doctor if needed.
I didn’t use a mood tracker last month and I missed using it, so I decided to start tracking my mood and I feel it would beneficial for my chronic illnessto track my mood and my worst pain days.
Instagram Plan
I haven’t used this spread for a long time, but I feel like it is needed as I am trying to grow my Instagram account. I was posting daily, but I have not been consistently posting and I want to be more organised and have content ahead of time. When I have used this spread previously, it really helped me to stay on top of the account. If you struggle with posting consistently on a social media platform, a plan like this would be really helpful.
Sleep Log
Another spread that I haven’t designed in my bullet journal for a long time; however, I need to track my sleep patterns with my mood and habit trackers to highlight any patterns in order to try and improve my sleeping habits.
Other pages which you could include in your April Bullet Journal:
- April task list
- Self-care tracker
- Reading list/reading tracker
- Savings tracker
- Wish/buy list
- Bucket list
- Doodle/lettering pages
- Social media follower count
Bullet journaling is an effective planner tool that can help you to create a personalised planner suitable for all your individual needs and layout preferences. I hope that these 20+ page ideas, themes and designs can help and inspire you to create your own April bullet journal spreads.
What theme do you want to use in your bullet journal? Do you have any page ideas for bullet journal spreads? I’d love to hear in the comments.
Ah I love your April theme so much, Lauren. As a gardener anything with flowers gets my vote but it’s also so appropriate for Spring. Your layouts are always so dreamy, thank you so much for sharing your April page ideas! xx
Thank you Lisa. That is very kind of you. Xx
This is SUCH a pretty spread! Love the mood tracker with the leaves and the gratitude one line page 🙂 That’s a lovely idea x
Thank you so much! Xx
You make me want to start back my bullet journal every time I see your prompts! I really love the first page and how you add stickers and washi tapes on the pages!! My favourites though are the mood tracker and gratitude list, thank you for sharing Lauren x
Why not give it a go? Thank you for your kind comments and reading my post.
This is beautiful! The pages look so full and cohesive with the washi tape. Love this!
I’ve only just got into bullet journaling so I love these ideas. I’m just not creative enough to try them out yet.
I hope they help you. Thank you for reading and commenting.
I love a mood tracker, I find it makes the world of difference!

I was just commenting on a bujo post on another blog and saying how I wish I had the skill for these. They’re always so fun and I love looking at them, but I do not have the ability to maintain them myself haha! However, I’m constantly inspired when I look at them!
Very pretty design! I love the flowers and the dusty pink theme.
Oh my, I love this vintage floral theme. It is absolutely my sort of thing! I love keeping my blog stats in my bullet journal, it really keeps me on track x
Thank you so much! It really is helpful and great to reflect how well you are doing well x
Ooh a habit tracker sounds amazing, thank you for sharing these lovely Spring ideas- I can’t believe it’s April already! Thank you for sharing x
Such cute ideas! I think the sleep tracker, the gratitude tracker and the one line a day are perfect for me, since it’s easy to fill in daily and is perfect in the morning and evening, instead of throughout the day. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely give them a try in your bullet journal. They are really helpful in reflecting and having positive memories to read back. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Your April theme is stunning! I really love the one line gratitude tracker. Bullet journals are such a great way to stay organized and be creative. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Thank you so much!
This post is really enlightening! I love journaling and you’ve just given me so many great ideas I haven’t thought of! Thank you
Thank you for reading and commenting. Can you link your blog so I can read?
Full of great ideas here! I do some of these – a mental health tracker helped me in recovery so much. I always love creating mood trackers too 🙂 x
That’s great it helped you. Thank you for your kind comments.
It’s wild how it’s already almost April! I love the floral theme you did & the one line spread sounds wonderful & it’s always great to have a gratitude tracker!
Thank you for reading and commenting.
I love the floral theme of April in your journal. Definitely bringing in those spring vibes. The gratitude tracker sounds like a great addition to have in the journal too!

Pretty roses and flowers! I still love the elegance of the one line, but it is handy to bring back spreads that helped you stay on track and grow. Also loving you are switching to eco-friendly notebooks. I did not know that was even a possible thing!
I am a sucker for flowers, cosmic spreads, and fairies in general. Thanks for sharing your April flowers!
I didn’t know much about eco friendly notebooks until I did research for my post back in January for the Veganuary series. Thank you for your kind comments.
There are great ideas and I love the floral layout!
Thank you!
This is great! I find that when I set-up a pretty tracker, I am better about sticking to my plans. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you for commenting. Can you link your blog?
These are all great ideas for a bullet journal! I like the idea of the one line and gratitude, but also that you’ve included blog items as well! Thanks for sharing.
I don’t think I could track my blog stats for the risk of being made to feel more depressed than I am if they weren’t good enough. I should probably start a food tracker at some point though, I really need to get my eating issues under control
Oh man I have a deep obsession with journals. I love your ideas for bullet journaling. Practicing gratitude is so important. Thanks for the inspiration! – Janelle via simplynelbelle.com

I love the floral detail on the pages, it’s so pretty! x

You should give bullet journalling a go.

Thank you Billie!

Your pages look beautiful. I do a gratitude page in my notebook and track my steps and water intake in my planner. I have a bullet journal but have yet to put much in it as my fancy writing and drawing skills are not the best and I’m scared I will ruin it lol.
I love all these bullet journal ideas. They are all so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I just started keeping a journal not long ago and now, I cannot even start my day without writing down my tasks.
Thank you for reading and commenting. So glad you have found a journal helpful. Do you have a blog?
