Black and White Collection
There’s something kind of magical about the simplicity of black and white. It’s clean, classic, and goes with everything. So I’ve been giving some of my favorite printables a little monochrome makeover! Whether you’re into minimalist vibes or just want to save a little printer ink, you’re in the right place.

How to Use This Page
This page is your hub for all things black and white printables! You’ll find a table of contents above to help you jump to the section you need.
At the end of each section are the links to blog posts where you can see the printables in action and learn how to use them. I make new printables are requests come in, so be sure to check back or bookmark the page to stay up to date!
Why Black and White Planner Printables?
As much as I love a good splash of color, black and white printables have a charm all their own, and I’ve been getting a lot of requests for them lately. Clean lines, no-fuss style, and totally ink-friendly? It’s hard not to love them.
Here are the top reasons readers have told me they prefer black and white:
- They love the clean, minimalist look.
- They are easier on ink (especially helpful if black ink is cheaper for your printer).
- If you’ve got a monochrome printer, these print clearer than color versions will in greyscale.
- Washi tape and stickers pop more and you don’t have to match colors.
If you’ve been one of the lovely folks asking for these, thank you for your patience—I promise, I’ve been listening. It just took me a bit to figure out the best way to roll them out. But they’re here now, and more are on the way!
Calendars
Monthly calendars are the foundation for a lot of planning systems. These undated versions can be used year after year. There are number of other ways they could be used too.
They are fantastic meal planners – plan a whole month of meals and give them a place to live. After you have a few of them, reuse to help save time later. They’re also wonderful for fitness planning – again you can plan multiple months and then reuse to save time.
The options for how to use these are almost endless.
Calendar Year Calendars (2 Pages per Month)
Calendar Year Calendars (Single Page per Month)
Academic Year (2 Pages per Month)
The first two monthly planners can be found in the post “Undated Black and White Calendars Featuring Two Pages Per Month”
The single page calendars can be found in the post “Black and White Undated Monthly Calendars”
The lined calendars, both calendar and academic years can be found in February’s Reader Request.
Monthly Planners
Using a monthly planner is a great way to plan ahead and also to give yourself an overview of what’s happening that month. They are wonderful for setting intentions and planning goals or projects so that you can schedule your time each week in a way that works best for you.
You can find the monthly planners in the post “Black and White Monthly Planner Printables.”
Weekly Planners
Weekly planners are a fantastic tool for planning your time in a way that works best for you. Seeing a whole week at once allows you to see where you have time and where you don’t. This in turn can help make prioritization a little easier, and show you what you can yes to and what you need to pass on.
In addition, weekly planners are also fabulous for memory keeping, journalling, meal planning, home care planning, and so much more.

Extra Printables
Planner printables might be the reason that this collection got started, but they are not the only printables that can be made black and white. Here are some of the others that I’ve made over the years.
Master To-Do List Printables
These printables are incredibly versatile. I may have originally created them to help organize my tasks all in one place, but the uses are vast.
Anything you can list, you can use these for, such as,
- shopping lists
- reading lists
- wish lists
- cleaning or project lists
- collection trackers
- goals
- inboxes
I could keep going, but you get the idea.
Project Planners
Some projects only need a to-do list, others require a little more detail in the planning stage. That’s where project planners come in really handy. These ones are designed so you can pick and choose only the pages you need. And the black and white colour palette is fantastic for those who like to colour code or use highlighters.
Healthy Habits Trackers
These simple health trackers are wonderful to tuck into your planner. They offer room for tracking your water, exercise, and ample room for a food diary. The neutral colour scheme allows coloured inks and stickers to really pop on the page.
Home Keeping Checklist
Black and white task lists like the home keeping checklist are a fantastic option for anyone who loves to see things crossed off their list. If you use a highlighter they will really stand out. This is also a great option for anyone who shares home responsibilities. Assign everyone a colour, and used colored pens or highlighters to mark off who does what.
Holiday Planners
Holiday planning at it’s more neutral! This spot is looking a little bare because I only have one holiday planner in the black and white section, and it’s actually a BBQ planner not really a holiday planner. It’s part of the holiday collection because it’s based off my Fourth of July and Canada Day BBQ planners.
There are some of the winter holiday planner printables in black and white as well. Those can be found over in the Scatter-Brain’s Guide Facebook group. It’s free to join and we’d love to have you.
“Black and White Master To-Do List Printables in Three Sizes” is where you will find more information about the master list printables.
Take a closer look at the project planners in the post, “Black and White Project Planners Printables.”
Find the health trackers over on the “Black and White Healthy Habits Trackers” post.
The cleaning checklists are in the post, “Blank Home Keeping Checklist Printables.”
“More Summer BBQ Planner Printables” is where you’ll find the bbq planner plus two colourful options.
