Agree. I like how small it is. Takes up barely any space on my nightstand. Thanks for watching!

🤣 true! Thanks for watching!

Yeah. It was a little annoying they decided to do that. However, once you get the routine set up with the free trial, if you drop your subscription, you won’t be kicked out of the routine so at least they didn’t take that away. I do have a review coming this week of another clock that doesn’t have a membership and it has routines. That one might be a good option if Hatch isn’t a fit for you. Plus, it’s way cheaper.

@@CreatingSelfCarePlansthank you for the honest review! It was super refreshing. I learned about this alarm clock through TikTok and of course no one there is being honest, it’s all about the aesthetic. But I appreciate you being both transparent and fair. I will likely still buy it since I work overnight and like the color sunrise features, but definitely disappointed to hear about the subscription (though good to know I can set my routine in the free trial) and the limited soundscapes.

@missym877 well it was my pleasure to help balance out the influencers. 😉

Our WiFi is set up in our bedroom and the lights bother me so I unplug it when I go to bed. 😊

@@CreatingSelfCarePlansJust put something on your router or something

@PhilGerb93 It’s not that big a deal for me to unplug it. 😊

Yes, to set it up, it needs to connect to WiFi. Also, if you need to make changes, like the time the alarm goes off, it needs to be connected to WiFi. The alarm will work if the WiFi is off. I always turn off my WiFi at night so I always need to make sure I make changes before unplugging the WiFi. One of the frustrating things have been how many times I’ve unplugged my internet before realizing that I needed to change my alarm and I’ll have to wait for the internet to come back on for me to change it. Hope that answers your question.

Happy to help! 😊

Awesome!

Technically, yes, but it’s designed to use for exhaling through. Just take a long inhale without it, and then put The Shift to your lips and exhale. The idea is that it extends the length of time that you exhale. Longer exhales = lower heart rate = parasympathetic nervous system state. Hope that helps!

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans it does, im a smoker who quit for 2 years and definitely need something cause ive been relapsing

@zed25697 congrats for 2 years! You’ve done it before and can do it again! If you get a Shift, come back and let me know how it works for breaking the habit. 😊

I’m thinking about getting one. I need to quit smoking and I suffer with anxiety and panic too

@mjc32991 I have witnessed my heart rate on my Fitbit drop from the high 90s to high 60s after just a few breaths with it so I can imagine it would be helpful to you during those anxiety moments. My anxiety isn’t what it used to be, but I know that my heart rate increases when I’m having an attack. I think the biggest benefits will come by using the necklace daily, even when you don’t “need” it. This will help reset your nervous system and overtime, when we do things to help us stay calm, you’ll notice less and less anxious moments. Before getting the necklace, I developed a daily yoga habit and through that was a lot of breath work. So from my experience, I can say that my anxiety got better once I prioritized doing things that helped put me into a calm, resting state. 😊

No. You only need one subscription and that will carry for each device you have. help.hatch.co/hc/en-us/articles/24364198039319-Do-I-need-Hatch-for-each-Hatch-I-own 😊

I’m glad you found it helpful!

That would be awesome! Thanks for watching!

For real!☺️

The LD I bought was the project planner and I bought it when they were on sale because it was after the year already started. That’s typically when I will buy a planner that I’m not sure about. I was fully aware of the size and had a feeling that it could be too big but I was okay with that risk. Other content creators were using it for content planning so I thought maybe I could, too. Plus, I have a channel where I review planers so I was fine with that experiment so that I can give my own feedback to others. The quality of the planner is great. The size wasn’t the only reason I switched back. But it won’t go to waste. I might give it away or I could easily redate it if I want to try using it in the future. I’m glad you enjoyed your LD and now you’re Aura Estelle. Thanks for watching! ☺️

Yeah, it’s something. The same thing happened with an EC planner pouch zipper. So it’s definitely something these “metal” pieces are made from.

Yeah, they only have the wellness ones on their website right now. I didn’t see stress management one this year so not sure if that will return. But they have the recovery one online as sold out so maybe they will bring that back. It says those were also sold in JoAnn stores. Try resale sites like Mercari.

You’re very welcome!

Yay! Do it! Our fall schedule picks up so I really want to get things out before then. Because the clutter will likely annoy me even more at that time if I don’t deal with it now.

That’s a good suggestion. Thanks!

I will be showing this in a future video because I’m not currently using a daily duo and this new one starts in July.

Thanks! If you need to preplan meetings or appointments that aren’t in the existing planner, you could use the 6 boxes page in the beginning for the next 6 months. For example, for the July-Dec 2024 planner, you can label those 6 boxes Jan-June. This way, if an appointment pops up for any of those months, you can jot it down there. Then, when it’s time to use the Jan-June 2025, you’ll already have that to reference to fill in your calendar pages. And you can repeat the process and turn the 6 boxes page in the new planner to be used for July-Dec 2025. I hope that makes sense. That’s what I would do if the daily duo was my only planner.

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans I use the calendar to reference what day of the week it is a lot. So I really need the calendar layout for the whole of 2024. You have given me the idea to copy the page from the other book and stick it in. That could definitely work. I haven’t used the 6 boxes in either planners. Very much love the daily duo feel and layout for my work planner. Thank you.

Awesome!

Sure! ☺️

That’s the sweetest comment ever, Kat! Thank you so much for sharing how you feel! It’s definitely so easy to get swept up in the beauty and novelty each launch, but I think the more and more I try, the more I learn about what I like and what I don’t and that’s been making it easier to look away. I don’t regret any of my experiments, even the ones like these A5 rings where I kinda knew going in that it would likely not work for me. 😊

Thanks!

I think what I meant to say was that I was concerned that the thickness of the new stencil would be much less than the original one. EC used to sell a clear stencil and that one, according to people who bought it, said it was thin and would break easy wi5h us. I’m glad they didn’t repeat that mistake with this new stencil ruler snap-in combo. ☺️

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans Oh that’s good to know! My first Erin Condren planner was in 2021 so I’m fairly new to her brand. But I love her!

I’m sure you aren’t the only one bummed about the mini calendar. I never hated it. I’m more bummed that the white space next to it is gone now. lol.

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans yes I’ve noticed that too. I’m glad she included this helpful tool with her launch this year so we can get a taste of other layouts. I have more choices I like and that makes me so happy 😁!

Now they just need to create a sampler that is undated and won’t fall apart during trial planning. lol 😂

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans EXACTLY!! 🤣😂 Mine fell apart about three months after the fact!

🤣

Dang, I knew that would happen. I don’t know why they created them like a notepad! Mine is still intact but I haven’t been using it like I would my actual planners. I’ve been testing the layout and then putting it away until the next week.

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans I’ve been planning in it with the layouts I haven’t tried: the compact vertical👎🏽 the Daily Duo 👍🏽 and the hourly which is my favorite so far👍🏽❤️. I don’t count the horizontal and the vertical ones because I have those already and are used to them. But it’s okay that it fell apart. It has been used and loved 🥰

EC would be happy to hear it helped you discover new layouts you enjoy!

💞 thanks, Sami! I’m looking forward to July to start my new system.

I have access to 26 sleep sounds and I don’t have the subscription. But I don’t think having a subscription unlocks more sleep sounds anyway. These are the sounds that can play all night long or for however duration you set. If you are only looking for a sound machine, I would look elsewhere. The Restore 2 is too pricey to be used only in that way.

I got you. Send me a DM on IG. 😉

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans ❤️❤️❤️

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans thank you! Message sent

@sarahdavis7566 ☺️

Wow. When did you place your order?

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans 3days ago😩

@rimasingleinny1871 hopefully it arrives sooner! Mine usually does! 🤞

Thanks!

😊

Yay! 🙏

I’m glad you found this helpful! Welcome to the Makse Fam! 😊

Cool! What did you order?

Yes, that’s what I was using before getting my new alarm clock. My purchase was to replace an existing bedroom clock that I used for time (some of the display lights went out) and I figured I would give this one a try to see if having the sunset feature would help me wake up better. I’ve never been great about mornings. I kept it because I enjoy the features beyond the morning alarm. I especially find the sleep sounds overnight helpful. But I do agree that the Sleep Focus on iPhone is a fantastic feature. I still have mine set up so I don’t have any disturbances overnight. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing this because it lets ppl know of a feature they may already have. The only reason I’ll be buying the hatch alarm is for the sunrise feature. I work overnight and really need to create a better home environment for myself to help me cope with the imbalance of working overnight. If it weren’t for that, I’d tell everyone not to pay for an overpriced alarm clock, when you can literally set your smart phone OR subscribe to more cost effective apps that do what the hatch alarm does, just on your phone.

@missym877 I hope the sunrise feature helps you with your sleep schedule. That’s a good idea. I never thought of it being useful for night shift workers. My husband has been working nights for over a year now.

Ooh, that Wisteria with the Bold Blooms tabs is going to look sooo good!

@CreatingSelfCarePlans I think so too. My order hasn't shipped yet. Waiting patiently

You are so welcome! Happy I could help! Which design are you going to pick for your daily duo?

😯That's terrible. Sorry to hear that!

I’m sorry to hear that. Personally, I’ve received brown boxes when my order is too big for their standard cute ones. I’m glad everything inside was beautiful, though! Which planner did you get?

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans I'm a calendar year planner, so I haven't gotten my daily planner yet, but I decided to get an Evolve Horizontal in the academic year at launch to use as a journal since my twins will be seniors in high school next year and I want to document all the little moments that I usually take for granted.

Aww! That’s sweet. My oldest is going to be a high school senior in the fall and I want to create a journal for him, too. 😊

@@CreatingSelfCarePlans I'm getting sniffly just thinking about it! When did my babies get so old???

Cool. Thanks for sharing!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
