Selly uses her Hemlock and Oak planner for tracking her finances. With just a pen and some Tombow Dual Brush pens, she's able to examine her spending and bills in a concise, organized way.

This weekly view is where she tracks her supplemental income, money spent, and weekly totals. She's also able to make day-specific notes like her rent being due on Friday.

This is a creative way to utilize the monthly view pages. She tracks when her bills are due, financial notes, and birds-eye-view events that could affect her finances over the next thirty-one days. The more you utilize your monthly pages, the easier it is to set up your weekly pages.

Finally, here's a look at her "notes" page with detailed color coding. Check out her Instagram to see more ways she uses her Hemlock and Oak to organize her financial details.

Our very own @thestylishwordsmith shared her own layout on the Hemlock and Oak Instagram weekly. She uses Mildliner highlighters to clearly color code and time block her week. When you have a busy schedule like Debbie does, taking the time to lay out this information makes it possible to actually accomplish everything on your calendar and to-do list.

Karyna also uses stickers and washi tape in her own unique way. She also utilizes free space on the left side and the bottom to log her sleep, plan her workouts, and write down her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Even chores seem fun when they're accompanied by these creative stickers.

@daniela_planningmommaschnetz

Daniela has such a beautifully color-coded weekly spread complete with a strip of washi tape at the bottom. She has mapped out her workouts, timed events, and tasks with the applicable color for that day. She also utilized the free space on the left to map out her meals for the week. Just a little bit of color can add so much clarity to a week like this.
