Awesome content!!! Hardly anyone goes over these things and if they do, it's mixed into a 45 min video where they are giving plugs and links for every single piece of paper in there planner. So thank you for sharing this wisdom, it's very helpful to newbies like me! 👍😉🤍
I look at my planner with my first cup of ☕️, about 10 minutes after I get up. It lays on my end of kitchen table where I am most of my time. (I Am in a wheelchair, and it is just my sweet hubby and myself. ) I am busy doing things all day, but do most from the table. (Folding laundry, cutting up veggies 🌶 🥒🥕🥦🥬🥔🌶🍊🍏🍎🍍🥑🥝etc. etc. I read, do my Bible study, write letters, do crafts etc. whatever I have written in my planner. I love my planner.❤️👵🏻🐶
As a mom and Nana, I absolutely adore the sound of your children in the background, appreciate the “interruption”, and smile at the little fingers. No need to apologize-IMO.... the bottom of one of your journal entries you ask when you will get sleep again....LOL...my husband is amazed at how little I sleep and how well I function. My “baby” is 20 years old.........
Oh wow! Haha, no I need my sleep 🤪
Adorable little fingers peeking into the view 😍
I just found your channel yesterday, thank you for sharing, doable and great ideas.😊
Thanks for watching!
Just brilliant, Annie. Love it!
Thank you for another great “How to Use a Planner” video. I took notes! I had been wanting to look at my planner more often and now I’ve got a great guide on when and why to check my planner more. Thank you so much! Seriously I needed this! I look forward to watching more of your videos on this subject.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful insight. I know consistency is key but it doesn't always happen. Thank you for the encouragement and inspiration!
Great video 👍. Love the basic info for staying on track with your planner!!and your little visitor..♥️
Thanks. Your step 1 and step 2 videos have been very helpful.
I’m trying to get started using a planner. I’ve watched many videos trying to get ideas of what I need to do with the planner and how it can help me. I appreciate it. Thanks again.
My pleasure ☺️
Thanks for sharing how you use your planner! I haven't been using my planner to its full potential, now I have some new ideas to try out!
You have no idea how much I appreciate these videos! So many planner people assume everyone would know how to use a planner....and even though it's somewhat obvious, seeing how someone else uses it is so helpful and gives me better ideas of how to write things down etc. Thank you so much for sharing these!❤️
My pleasure! And I agree, we think using a planner is common sense, but’s it’s not anymore. We gotta share our ideas and tips ❤️
i watch these videos over and over. thanks!
Just getting back into planning and wasnt very successful the last time, but I enjoyed this video and loved seeing you use the decorative boxes as headers in the TN. Something I never thought of!
Great video! I do the same thing and think I know what I put in my planner and so don't look at it. Almost always this results in my missing something. I like the idea of prioritizing a minimum of three times and day and plan to implement that right away. Thanks for videos on the functional side of planning. I am very much reliant on my planner and always want ideas on how to improve its functionality.
I know this video was posted years ago, but I feel normal after see this. Thank you for sharing.
I definitely need these “newbie” planner videos as I’m just going to be starting my first planner and am completely lost. For instance, where do you write things down if you have the daily, weekly and monthly sections? What goes where? Things like that.
I make my own sections or use sticky notes. This video is actually an older one of mine, my new ones would be really helpful to clarify how I plan and fit in these “sections”. ❤️
I watched your video on the weekend and it's Thursday here now. I've been the most productive this week of 2019! And that is thanks to your tips and reminders of why I am a paper planner. I hope to continue the new routine I have set up for myself. Thanks so much I am very grateful 💖💖💖
That is awesome! You go 💪🏻
Great video! Thank you for going into the details of how to use your planner. I struggle to keep up with my planner and this has helped so much. Love this series. Thanks again!!
My pleasure
I have a planner dedicated to writing everything I do everyday. Even dishes, or watching tv with my husband. It helps me to see all that I do get done everyday. Plus I plan on keeping it as a journal type thing of my daily life for my kids or grandkids.
Yes, exactly. 😊
As with part one, this too was very helpful, thank you!!
This video was a great part two. Videos 1 and2 have given me a great springboard for diving into my journal (lol)
My bday was the 6th! I love watching these tips. I homeschool a special needs child. Our day is crazy as we do most of our day while I run our used bookstore! Crazy. Fun. Rewarding. AnaMaree💜
What a great job, especially as a homeschool mama ❤️
Annie, this was really helpful. I have planners. I write in them (sometimes) but I don't open them for days. I make appointments, write on whatever piece of paper is handy, then have no idea where it went and when my appointment is. I am trying to get better by writing my to do list on a blank page and insert in the week pages. I like the 3xtimes a day idea. Easy to remember. I would add a 4th for people who work outside the home (to look at it the night before in case there is an early morning meeting or a stop before work). I also need to find a place where I can leave my planner open and where I can have my early morning coffee and look over the day. Keeping it closed and sometimes in a basket isn't working. I like your videos because they are practical. Thank you, keep more coming, please!
Yes, having a place to keep it open is also a great help!
Love these ideas!
Thank you so much for the tips. I am loving these videos. They make me feel like I am doing ok with my planner again.
Hurray! That’s always a good feeling.
I love your videos. I’ve been watching for years now. Always informative & inspirational
Thank you so much ☺️
Helpful tips, Annie. Thank you for sharing.
What do you do with the inserts? Do you archive them or discard them when the year ends?
I am loving this series! I’ve been using planners for years, but sometimes we get so lost and into what everyone else is doing, that we lose it’s functionality or realize it’s not suiting our needs at the moment. It’s nice to use these tips as reminders of how our planners can help us and not stress us.
Yes; I’m usually giving a talk to myself as I’m sharing these tips with everyone else 😂
Love this video really want to use my planner more
I absolutely LOVE your ideas and this video series! Soon as payday gets here I’m ordering new insert books so I can reset up my whole system. Thx so much!!!!!!!!
Happy Planning!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Appreciate what you shared! Thanks 🌸
I like your "How to use your planner series" it is helping me figure out how to use my planner for more than just a calendar.
I’m so glad!! ❤️
I love your videos !
Love your video you are one
of my fav TH-cam's
Thank you for these. I am a planner girl and this still gives me inspiration!!!!
Oh I’m so glad!!! ☺️
I just need to re watch these three..
i love that i found you on youtube, thanks for sharing your tips x
Thanks so much for hanging out with me for a while ☺️
Great information ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you❤️
Love the “will I ever sleep again?” Because same 🥺
It does get better, I’m happy to say 🥰
Great video!
THANK YOU this is so helpful. now to do it
Yes that is always the harder part 😆
These videos are awesome! I have been in a TN for almost a year and I am finding myself slipping backwards. I am revamping my TN and this video and your first one were great to watch to help me get back into it. Thank you!
I’m so glad!! ❤️
Another great video, thank you. I also wanted to say thank you for “talking me” into staying in my current planner system. I’m in a T.N. and adore it and there’s nothing wrong or more that I need from it, but for some reason I was feeling a pull towards rings 😂🤦🏻♀️ I saw your insta stories and was cracking up on your perfect timing
Ahahahahaha, too funny. Yes, it nearly did me in and made me change. Glad we were both able to see reason 😂
I just found your channel and am bing watching. I am new to planning. I am a stay at home wife and dont have much to write down. Thank you for helping.
As a fellow stay-at-home-mom I think once you start writing down everything, you’ll see that there is a lot going on still and find your own groove ☺️
My favorite part is the shot at the end, with the the fingers in the left hand corner. 🖐🏻
Thank you so much for this series! I don’t know how busy moms do everything they do because I am a single person with no children to keep me busy but still i forget so much stuff I should have done or still need to do. An example, today I needed to go to the bank and I had 1 more thing to do afterwards. But after the bank I couldn’t remember what else I needed to do. And I do this often. So even though my stuff to do isn’t as time sensitive for me as it would be for you with all your responsibilities I still would like to make better use of my time. I am learning so much from watching your videos, thank you!
I love how planning molds around each individual person because we all have such different lives. But it works! Thanks for sharing your story ❤️
Thanks for this video. New to the TN world. Me and my daughter received our first personal size Chic Sparrow yesterday.
Awesome! Happy planning!!
Welcome to the madness of the planner world!!! Just curious, how did you discover the TN world? I found it through bible journaling actually lol...
@@MrsBee-uo2lc @4itsrox on TH-cam. I have been carrying a two year calendar and small notepad since high school (30yrs), so to put it into one TN and decorate - I love it. '21 I need a pocket size calendar. I am not sure if I want to continue my two year month spread ($2.99 or less) or get the one year Planner Perfect Calendar. Check out my daughter's TH-cam planner video @dru x white. 😷🌻😎
Hi Annie! You seem so organized. This is my goal as opposed to spinning around or feeling lost and not getting things done. How does your planning suggestions compare to time blocking? Do you time block as well to make the most of your time? If you haven’t already, can you make a video discussing this topic? Thanks in advance. Grateful for finding for channel 🙏
I have made a video about how I time block- did you see it yet? I don’t use that method to plan anymore, but it’s still a great way to organize your time so I always keep my old methods up on my channel. Plus, different seasons of life require different planning styles, I think.
Thanks for the tip about the library. I decided to write down on a little sticky note Library stuff due and put it inside the front page of my calendar and then put the sticky note onto the week day it’s due. My daughter is the one who always seems to get late fees. Also going to figure out what to do to help with dinner meals instead of waiting and deciding that day what to make for dinner and then not have time if it’s a meat and frozen.
It sounds like your are working that planner! Good for you ❤️
What size travelers notebook is yours? I have been looking at an A6. I like the size of yours because it's the perfect size to fit in my purse. Thanks for another video. They are very helpful! Hoping you have a gloriously beautiful and blessed day!
This is like the original Midori brand size. It’s often called “standard” or “narrow”. At Foxy Fix where I purchased mine, it’s the #6.
Again, very helpful. It looks like your pen clips may be custom made. How did you do them?
I purchased them from Etsy a long time ago. I wish I could remember the shop. I think I searched “elastic pen loop” and searched until I found ones I liked. Happy shopping!
Oh my gosh...was your birthday on February 5th?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! We share the same birthday! Great video, very helpful xx
Birthday twins 👯!!!
Hi Annie, I just recently discovered your videos. I have a question, what is the difference between a to-do list, notes, and a habit tracker? I’m a newbie to planning.
Good question! A habit tracker usually has a little check box for you to mark something off daily, as you develop a habit. A to do list is a list of emails you need to write or items you need to accomplish. A note is any type of thought or note you have. Often they become a habit or a task later on. ❤️
Annie Smith thank you for clarifying that for me. I enjoy watching your videos.
Love your video can you do a a5planner video
I’m afraid I don’t have an A5 binder so I won’t be able to do a video about that. I do have a few old ones from years ago though, on my channel. You can check those out?
Wow!! Thank you, Annie♡ Subbed :)
Thank you so much; welcome!!!
These are great videos, I watched all 3, twice ❤️ I’m still having a hard time understanding the concept because I haven’t used one yet but would you write appts and important dates, etc in the weekly area and monthly too? I guess I don’t know why these books come with so many date areas.
I think of monthly page as long term plans and weekly/daily page as short term. So events that won’t change (a birthday/holiday/enrollment deadline) I write in both. I write appointments in my monthly if I’m not in that month yet, then at the beginning of each month I add the appointments in the daily/weekly pages. If you end up changing the appointment, add a note when and with who you changed it (just Incase there ends up being a miscommunication of the change. Doctors offices, for instance, will charge a no show fee).
Thanks for watching ❤️ I often have appointments and important dates in the monthly and daily/weekly view. The monthly is a forward planning tool. Also a placeholder for the big things in life. But when it comes to the weekly or daily pages, that has to include the timed appointments and events as well as the daily tasks and work to be done for the day. So it ends up in both places, yes. Did that answer your question? Just let me know if not and I’ll try to expand my answer ☺️
Robin B Thank you for explaining better. The more videos I seem to watch the more confused I am. I see some with multiple year at a glance calendars throughout, weekly sections with different formats, it kinda makes me nervous to even start 😊
Annie Smith Yes you explained it perfectly, thank you 😊
how do we use a TN for home schoolers please?
I have a video about this on my channel, it has a lot of great tips and ideas ❤️
Why does your planner have Heather written on the front? Is that your middle name? Got lots of tips from these vlogs, thank you. Xx
It actually says “breathe” and it’s a reminder to take a deep breath and just relax for when I’m overwhelmed ❤️
I also write downs tasks that I've done throughout the day that were not originally on my to do list. I'm new at staying home with my kids. I've been a nurse for so many years. Juggling work, marriage and the kids. But I still felt guilty when my to do list wasn't complete while my husband was out on the road busting his butt. I was so busy working and I thought staying at home would be a piece of cake. It's still a job. Time management is key!
Amen and amen! 😆
I've really enjoyed these two videos ... I'm kind of new to journaling and using a TN, but so far I'm loving it. It is always good to hear how others use/live by their, and I look forward to more in this series from you! Thank you for sharing and encouraging us newbies!
My pleasure!
