Whistle and Birch weekly planner spread using the study layout

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

See my review of the planner in this post.

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:

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.
