Guide
How to use a side hustle planner
A side hustle lives in the gaps around a job: evenings, weekends, lunch breaks. A side hustle planner makes those hours count by tracking where the time goes, what it earns, and what you're building towards.
Decide what success looks like
Write a monthly income target and the hours you can realistically give on the business goals page.
Log time and invoices
Each month's time and invoice log has date, client, task, hours, rate, invoiced and paid. It shows your real hourly rate.
Track money in and out
Income and expenses each month, plus a personal budget so side income has a job, like debt, savings or a tax pot.
Plan launches
Launch plans count back from a date: four weeks out, two weeks out, launch week and after.
Review monthly
Compare hours, income and your goal. Drop the work that pays least for the time it takes.
What to include in a side hustle planner
A side hustle planner should be light enough to keep up alongside a job. This one includes:
Calendar
Weekly and monthly pages
Dated month calendars and a weekly page for each week, where you can block your side hustle hours. No daily pages.

See all themesDoes it help with taxes?
It keeps a record of income and expenses, which makes tax time easier, but it isn't tax advice. Check the rules where you live or ask an accountant how much to set aside.
How is it different from the small business planner?
It's lighter and adds a time and invoice log and a personal budget, which suit a business that fits around a job. The small business planner has daily pages, projects and a content calendar for a full-time business.
Is there a free side hustle planner?
You can build this side hustle planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the side hustle planner?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the side hustle planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
Is the side hustle planner dated or undated?
Dated by default, starting in January 2027. You can pick any start month and year (including this month), a length from 3 months to 5 years, and Monday or Sunday weeks. Or switch to undated and write the dates in yourself, so a skipped week isn't wasted.
Does the AI fill in the side hustle planner for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the side hustle planner?
With the default settings it comes to about 168 pages. That includes 12 month pages, 53 weekly pages, the Time & Invoices, Business, Budget and Goals pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
