Do you use online banking? Do you have certain monthly bills and subscriptions auto-paid from your account? Do you have subscriptions for magazines or services that auto-renew? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you need a money calendar.
In this week’s content, the video shows you what a “money calendar” is and how to use it. You can have it today, and in the process, have a good handle on all the subscriptions you have.
Link to last week’s content
Thanks to those who pointed out the broken link in last week’s content. That piece and the video are for those who use a paper planner and are frustrated with all the URLs.

These findings were included in the Korn Ferry’s Workforce 2026 Global Insights Report.
In addition, 52% of workers using AI said the technology had increased their workload rather than reduced it.
