When I got the Whistle and Birch Planner I was most excited to try the study layout as it has lots of checklist space.

Whistle and Birch Weekly Planner Review

After the Pen

Last time I used the Whistle and Birch planner I did borders with highlighters, this time I opted for borders with washi tape.

This thin washi tape (it’s only 3mm wide) is from this rainbow skinny washi tape from MAMBI.

I decided it was a bit too plain so added a rainbow border with the highlighters – much better!

I was going to use these vacation countdown stickers I made a few years ago… but I’ve used them for just about every holiday so decided to do something different. Instead I used date dot stickers to create a countdown.

If you’re wondering if investing in marker pens is actually worth it… there is quite a difference in the thickness of a marker pen versus a gel pen:

Supplies Used:

• Whistle and Birch planner
• Kaco Pure Green gel pens
• Staedtler triplus color 0.3mm (mint pen)
• Papermate Inkjoy Gel 0.7mm (yellow pen)
• MAMBI thin washi tape (rainbow pack)
• Zebra mildliner teal & red (from the brights pack – dark blue)
• Zebra Mildliner red from the yellow pack
• Numbered rainbow stickers (learn how to make your own here)
• MUJI hexa pens – borders at the top of the pages
• Staedtler textsurfer highlighters (Orange, pink, green)
• Keji whiteout tape (from Officeworks)

Would I use this layout again?

Yes. While I normally prefer larger space for Saturday and Sunday, the 2nd page has so much notes & checklist space that most of the page can be converted into weekend planning.
