I'm so glad!

I'm so glad it was helpful! The details on the planner cover can be found linked in the video description. Look under "planner accessories" for a direct link to the creator's etsy shop :)

@midnightcoffee0000 thanks so much!! What can I say? I think sharing realistic planner and post it note situations is important 🤣🤣

@@HolisticRitualCo thanks for being here!! ❤️

Thanks Shelby!

I'm so glad it was helpful!

Haha! I appreciate the time stamps so I could look back! All of this is linked in my bio under "Kate's favorites". I've also linked it in the video description. I don't have the color codes for the page flags as I bought a mega pack. :) The colored icons are actually two stickers - icons I made/printed at home or snagged from the planner spot over transparent dots from cloth and paper. I've linked both in the Kate's favorites page with a coupon code.

I have two - this was printed on my laser printer. The make and model are listed in my bio under the "Kate's favorites" link. If I try to tell you from memory, I'll mess it up LOL!

You're welcome Gloria! Thanks for being here!

I'm glad it helped Mary! Thanks for being here. I hope you enjoy the other videos!

You're welcome Amber! Thanks so much for being here and taking the time to leave me a comment. My advice? Always have sticky notes on hand. I keep them strategically placed in my planner at all times. :) I just take a few from the stack and stick them to a divider.

@@AmberAboshihata oh this is hysterical! Gotta love kids and their unique point of view!

@@AmberAboshihata thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts!

I'm so glad it helped! Thanks for being here!

Thanks for being a sub! It's so freeing to be able to play without the stress!

I'm so glad it helped Cheryl! Thanks so much for being here!

Thank you for being here! I do dive into this a bit in my 2024 planner hop video - but I recognize it's a long video :) I really like to focus on the process flow of a planning system vs which one works best for me. I can technically make anything work, but I prefer a vertical weekly layout or something where I can time block. I feel lost without an hourly schedule to refer to - that can be daily or a weekly vertical (with hours). I was most successful in staying with my personal rings in 2024. I hope this helps!

@functionofplanning I am sorry I wrote the comment before I watched the rest of your videos. Your last video was the first one I came across, and I didn't realise your channel was brand new wth the video I would have had my question answered with right before the one I watched. Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. New subscriber :)

@unchartedwaterss no need to apologize! I'm always happy to answer questions. I appreciate your comments and engagement! Thanks for being a subscriber! ❤️

Thank you for being here! I can see your confusion. I'll do my best to clarify. I use three planners: one for personal planning (personal rings), one for work planning (half letter disc), and one for content planning (B6). Due to the nature of my work, I cannot share work related plans publicly and my content planner is top secret so that I don't accidently spoil the fun. :) I also don't want to be stressing about work related tasks when I'm not at work. It's helpful for me to be able to close the planner and keep it out of mind until I'm back at work. The intent behind this video was to show how to make templates for any planner layout that you might be using, so I thought that I would share different formats. I had quite a few planners from my "planner hopping" in 2024 - so I thought that I would show some examples. I'm sorry if this was confusing! In my next release, I'll be walking through my planner process flow for B6 slim (what I plan to use for personal planning in 2025 instead of the personal rings). My personal rings planner is currently my master planner and my everyday carry for appointments and scheduling. The other planner you mentioned, "function Nak planner." - I think that the captions might have caught me mumbling. LOL! I was referring to my planner for "Function of Planning" - this is my content planner for social media. I'm repurposing a 2024 B6 planer as a notebook for content planning so that it doesn't go to waste. I find I need multiple pages to jot down ideas and where each piece of content is in the creation process (filmed, edited, etc.). I do not enjoy digital planning - I like the tactile experience of using paper and the motion of writing things down helps better engage with my planning so that I actually remember what's happening and what I need to do. I think this is from years of re-writing my notes in college as a study technique. I do have a digital calendar for what my family needs visibility on - and everyone has a color code and updates events there. I check it weekly as part of my planning routine to make sure that I don't need to adjust anything due to changes. We have a weekly planner review to make sure we're all on the same page with our schedules. Please let me know if this clears things up or if you still have questions! Thanks again for being here and taking the time to engage with the video!

Thanks Nora! I like to make sure I have a good grasp on the available space before committing pen to paper. I'm a perfectionist at heart LOL!

I'm so glad it helped! Thank YOU for being here! Let me know how it goes for you!

@@functionofplanningI tried it last night for the first time and adore it!! I might cover my whole planner in clear stickies so I can use the spreads for the rest of the year, before the layouts actually start 😄

@loneowlstudio7811 ohhhhh now THAT is an idea! I've been itching to use mine since it got here, and I *might* be growing impatient. 🤣🤣 new challenge - find the BIGGEST transparent sticky note! 🧐

It's always interesting to see what plot twists life has in store for us! I've also had quite a few changes throughout 2024 and the most important part about a planning system is that it's flexible enough to pivot with you. Give yourself permission to pivot until it feels right. :) Keep me posted on how it's going!

Hey Kathy! Thank you, I thought so too! I included a direct link to it on my blog's favorite's page: functionofplanning.com/shop/ if you'd like to check it out!

Indeed! They just have to put their flag on everything here LOL! Thanks for being here!

Let me know how it goes! :)

Thanks so much! The colorful blocks are just some cute mini highlighters that I picked up from target. :) But they looked super cute in the frame. Actually my favorite color is green :) I just like the clean look of gray on a spread. That's really cool - I'll have to check out that planner too! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for being here!

PW is for sure an amazing size and I agree it gives you a great amount of space! I just like playing with different things :)

@ playing is definitely fun!

I'm so glad it helped! Let me know how it goes!

You're very welcome! And Ely you made me laugh so hard at the voting sticker!! Have an amazing day sweet friend!!

I'm so glad it was helpful :)

Thanks Janette! I included a direct link to the stickers on my blog's favorite's page: functionofplanning.com/shop/ if you'd like to check them out! There's two styles that I couldn't chose between :)

France! Wow! Thank you so much for being here Laura! I think that the next video should help you - it's all about planning out sections in your planner and process flow. I hope that it helps!

I tried to hold my templates in my head, too... but alas, my ADHD squirrels are dancing under their disco ball, and the music makes it difficult to concentrate, much less remember something 🤣💃

I didn't even think about graph paper 🫣 and I guess you could just make a photocopy of the planner page as well. 🫣🫣

Thanks for being here 🫶🏻 it was a game changer for me when I started doing it many moons ago 😎

Thanks so much! Let me know how you get on with the vertical layout! I really enjoy taking photographs of my planners so it was super fun to make!

Thank you so much! I can't wait to be able to use it everyday! I included a direct link to it on my blog's favorite's page: functionofplanning.com/shop/ if you'd like to check it out!

@ Thank you! Looking forward to see you using it 🤗💕

B6 planner cover is from Moterm - Beetroot is the color!

@ isn’t that a b6 slim the blue one? Where is that one from I love it 😍

My apologies, I showed both B6 and B6 slim in the video. I included a direct link to both on my blog's favorite's page: functionofplanning.com/shop/ if you'd like to check it out!

Thanks so much Nora! I really appreciate your support! I can't wait to share more about the B6slim for 2025!

Best of luck and I'm so glad that the video helped you! I too am trying to be more mindful of spending this year so I thought that others might be in the same position. Thanks for being here!

Definitely not the only planner hopper out there! Thanks for being here Susan!

Thank you for the kind words and for being here! Happy to have you!

LOL! This made me chuckle! My hope was to take everyone on a journey with me and I guess I got a little carried away with the "we".

I'm so glad that the video resonated! I hope that by being open about these challenges, it helps someone learn from my mistakes. Normally, I would be all for reselling, but I can't part with this cover and was thinking of disassembling it and framing it as artwork for my office. It's so stunning!

Thank you so much! I'm very glad that it helped and that I'm not alone on the cream colored pages! I'm actually terrible at hand lettering. These are all stickers that I made in canva using a scripted font.

I'm so glad! Thanks for being here!

I appreciate you being here regardless. I just wanted to warn people that occasionally words that aren't for tiny humans might be heard.
