Minimalistic doesn't have to mean boring though I do seem to have a style. I've noticed that I need to make the separation of each day obvious so I do this by making the date larger in size compared to the day next to it.

The other thing I like to do is have solid black boxes so that I can use a white gel pen to make it pop. This can be seen below. I also clearly separated each day with a solid fine line.

Occasionally, I'll throw in some colour and a little bit of artistic flair (or lack thereof).

I find craft paper pretty good at adding something extra to my spreads.

And instead of using a black fine line, I've used a colour line to emphasise a title here instead.

More examples of my weekly spreads which are as minimalistic as possible.

Ultimately, I've realised that I like clean lines and minimalism in my bullet journal. That said, I still try and add some minimalistic decor to it with filled in boxes, craft paper, occasional uses of colour (via Tombow brush pens). However, all I've got to offer is a pretty boring looking bullet journal but it functions excellently for me and that's what matters. (Can I get a cry laughing emoji?)
