Creative thinkers often find traditional budget spreadsheets a challenge. Business Coach Jennifer Lee proposes using a 'Moola Map' to track your finances in a more artistic and intuitive way.
Jennifer Lee, founder of Artizen Coaching, developed the Moola Map as a right-brain method for budgeting. Here’s how it works, according to U.S. News:
Lee recommends affixing a large, blank sheet of paper to a wall, dividing it down the middle, and using sticky notes to track 'money flowing out' on one side and 'money flowing in' on the other. This allows you to visualize both your income and expenses.
The concept is to view your finances in a way that suits your creative brain. You can find a photo of the map in action at the link below.
