I made a mistake, the daily planner is not Jewel Tone Jungle, it is Tropical Boho! Does anyone else get those themes confused? Haha! All the links are in the description box! So excited for the new year!!!
I just wanted to say thank you for sticking with Happy Planner. So many influencers and former Squad members drop Happy Planner when their term is up. Then I have to search for new influencers to inspire me. I'm a die hard Happy Planner person. I've been following you for years and you're my number one go-to TH-camr. I love your designs and I appreciate your desire to stick with Happy Planner. So thank you.
Same. I love the Happy Planner and I honestly don't think I could ever go back to a non-disc system. And while there are other discbound planner systems I just think Happy Planner's designs and layouts are the best
You were my first planning inspirer and I’ve followed you since you began. Your creativity, frankness, and strength are beyond admirable. Today is a tough one for me and I am so grateful this is the first YT video that popped up. Honestly, it feels like a cozy, comforting homecoming. You are a blessing in this world. May the year to come bring you infinite blessings and peace. Thank you for being you.
I am using 4 planners, but dividing the pages so there are three months’ pages of all 4 planners in each one. It is a one time set up of 4 frankenplanners and that means every 3 months I get “new” covers and dividers to keep me from getting bored. I have all the plans in one book at a time and don’t have to swap pages every month.
Thank you for this video Mary Ellen. I am chronically depressed, but September through December (holiday season) are especially hard months for me every year, and every year my planners get ignored during my dark time,. But this year as I was watching planning videos and doing some (a lot!) back planning as well as prepping the December weeks to come I realized the same thing you did: that planning makes me feel better. I wrote that in my 2023 planner to remind myself not to let it go when I'm feeling bad. As part of my planner line up for 2023 I am going to use the Stress Management layout and will incorporate my what I like to call Things I Accomplished Today. I don't assign a number of things because setting expectations is a set up for failure. Even if I just list getting out of bed as the Thing I Accomplished Today, that will be a win.
@@PlanningwithBumble I’m sorry to hear about you losing your son. Our son died in Jan 2021. I’m trying to get into the habit of panning so I can get something accomplished! My brain is scattered. 😒
To all of your struggling with grief and depression. I don’t know you personally but, I will pray for you all. I know that exact grief and depression. I lost my son in 2017 he was only 17. I still grieve him to this day and always will. I have begun to use a planner for grief. Writing down my thoughts, prayers and scripture. If you ladies have YouVersion Bible app. Facing the Giant of Grief and Loss has been a great plan! Take care! Thank you Mary Ellen for your planner spreads and ideas !❤
@@2stewarts17a great app! Going through the Bible chronologically has been a great part of 2022. ❤ until people come to Christ, they won’t know the peace only He can give.
Mine: Cozy Critters 😍😍😍 & recovery guided journal Loved seeing this! This will be my third year using a Happy Planner, but I’m still just mainly doing one. I would call it my catch-all planner, but honestly, it’s more like decorative journal for me, as I mostly back plan with it. As a housewife and homeschooling mom, it’s not like I have a ton of things to plan ahead for, ha. I’ve only used floral planners before (and truly LOVED this year’s planner with the copper disks), but I just want to thank you for basically giving me the freedom to branch out from that without feeling weird or too immature for me! I chose the Cozy Critters planner (and had to grab the sticker book and notebook too 🥰). I think before watching your unboxing video and hearing you say you might possibly go with one of them because of how cute they were, I would probably have said I needed something more “sophisticated and mature.” Which I don’t… Because I stay home all day with kids. 😆 And if I need a sophisticated cover for whatever reason, I can pop one of the florals on there. 🙃 Seeing your Cozy Critters PWM is what finalized my decision, and my planner arrived TODAY!!!! 😍🥰 I’m waiting on a good sale from HP to grab a planner for my purse (… and praying it’s still in stock when the sale happens! 🙏🏻). I’m going to start doing a recovery guided journal along with some people I love. Mine will be health-related. I’m also waiting to decide on what to use as my faith planner - and then a good sale actually to get it. 😊
I have my work planner that stays at work... I have my Big Happy Planner that I take with me. I also have a classic size WIP journal with cover stock pages that show each of my cross-stitch works in progress - it has the fabric, designer, stitch count, start date, etc., then each cover page has lined paper that I write the date I stitched with how many stitches. They used to be in my happy planner I carried with me everyday, but it became too much with 40 WIPS, so that one stays home. 2023 is the first big planner & I'm loving it... I started using it 2 weeks ago, I've just added lined paper and am making my own daily pages until I get to the 26th where they start. My word for 2023 came to me yesterday... Value... Value the time with my daughters & grandchildren... Value my time creatively... Value the moment... Value my finances Merry Christmas... you are my favorite planner!!!
What resonated most is "if not, it's life and we can't be everything we want to be all the time." I definitely needed to hear that and be more gentle with myself! :) Good luck to you on your journey. I love your channel the most of all the planners and look forward to planning with you in 2023!
I am so grateful for your videos! You got me to understand how fun and handy the Happy Planner Disc system is! I am in love with it. This year (2022) I started with 1 Big and then eventually once I learned more about it grew to include 2 more classic planners. Next year, I am switching to fully classic size and using 7 different planners with several fill in pages that I have created to help me monitor my ever changing health and schedule! Thank you for all your videos and keeping it real!
Your content is ALWAYS so helpful to me!! I, too, ditched my wellness planner in 2022. I couldn't figure out how to use it for me. I'm using a Big Dashboard for my catch all planner in 2023. I also use a Big Teacher (restickered for 7 days rather than 5) for meal planning and all things food. I have the new Big Happy Sewing planner for all things sewing/crafting and I don't think I've ever been more excited about a calendar in my life! LOL!! I've frankenplanned extension packs and Big monthly pages to create a Big budget and bill paying planner. I use a Classic with Christmas extension packs and pages for holiday planning. And I use "spare parts" from Bigs to create notebooks for travel planning and recipe collecting. I, too, don't have as full a calendar I had when my kids were home, but disc planners are ideal for organizing my life and my time. :)
Still not sure how many/what new planners I am using yet. I always get super excited for the new year and fresh start in planners too. Being gentle with ourselves is so important and those are great words of wisdom Mary Ellen
First of all, I am so very sorry to hear about your son. I’m sending you some virtual hugs. I switched to the teacher lesson plan layout to separate social media and youtube by day. It works AMAZING! My main problem is that I have soooo many tabs open in my brain that I don’t know how to separate them in order to use a planner. My life goal is to create my perfect planner..lol! Thank you for your videos! You are by far my favorite inspiration!
So much (always) to think about in planner set up, but I think I've got it - Dashboard for catch all (teeny tiny florals), Frankenplanner: Squairdplans quadrant for quotes/lettering, dark botanicals for journal (vertical), self care journal and natural wellness for wellness/fitness/self care, DIY gifts and special occasions. I'll add in gardening for my houseplant/gardening care in my frankenplanner. Each quarter or season I use themed scrapbook paper as my 'left' side divider decor.
So far for me Mini dashboard for fitness & health Classic vertical seasons journal & I'll add insert half sheet check list for weekly chores BIG - budget (printable from the budget mom) Classic notebook as a memory keeper printing pics as we go not a weekly thing just the important/fun stuff for my life & family.
I have 8 planner! 1. Meal, 1.Daily, 1work, 3 for my breeding program ( meal, nursery, appt....) 1 faith and 1 General put everything in, with lots of decoration and STICKER!!!!!
I use the BIG dashboard pages as my To Do List, I wish I could have your extra pages because I buy a whole planner just for the scratch paper. Sometimes I forget how hard of a year you've had because you are so upbeat, you are amazing. Sending you extra love! 💓
I was using two planners but after seeing your video and seeing that wellness planner, I think I’m gonna incorporate that into my day. My focus next year will to be as healthy as I can be both mentally and physically. Plus I really like the message the wellness planner sends and the dividers. I like that you are going to be gentle with yourself. You are always so positive and honest and that means a lot! Thanks for all that you do. I think that you help people more than you realize 😉☺️🤗
I’ve decided to use 4 planners and I really hope I can keep up with them. I have to be honest I haven’t written in my planners since October. I’ve been going through a lot and my depression and anxiety have been really bad and my ADD doesn’t help at all. I’m also dealing with chronic pain after breaking my left hip and femur last year and the doctors r trying to figure out different ways to help with the pain. I had to quit my full time job at an elementary school in October bc of the pain in my leg. I’m now working part-time but of course that doesn’t pay a lot and I’m struggling there too. But I’ve decided to get my life back on track and starting in January everything is going to change with me and I’m really going to start working on myself to get better. I love how u r so real in ur videos and u inspire me all the time. Mary Ellen I’m so glad I found u last year bc when I’ve had some dark times or thoughts just watching ur videos really bring me out of those times. Thanks for all u do u r a true inspiration and r so amazing!!! 😊
I’m with you about combining planners and decorating my daily planner. Too much work. It works best for me to use my daily planner for keeping myself organized.
My 2023 Word of the Year is Foundation, everything needs a supportive foundation. I am using two planners for 2023: Filofax One Day on a Page with appointment times and trying The Big Happy Planner Sewing, exclusive to Joann’s, for the first time in order to track my NeedleArts and attempt some creative journaling. I’m a new subscriber and enjoy your videos so much.
I’m using two planner at home snd one I leave at work. One for my wellness/heath, reading journal, scripture writing, and hiking log. My other for to-do’s, monthly, and weekly planning. One is a half size disc and the other is an A5 ring binder.
I'm using the dashboard layout & a vertical for planning purposes, plus I have a second vertical planner just for sticker spreads (yes, I buy a lot of stickers & I'm ok with that!). I journal in a plain, lined notebook with a cute cover, so I have space to write as much as needed each day. Thank you so much for sharing your personal journey & planner ideas! Be well & have fun! 😀
I use a Dashboard for my daily planner. Work paid for my planner this year and I was able to get a Happy planner but that one is vertical. This year I used a cheap planner for my Faith planning, but I bought a horizontal one for that. I tried to do a journaling one this year because I love yours so much, but because the ones I was using had certain colors all over it, I felt I could only use them. Still deciding about that. I can’t imagine NOT planning. It is my therapy
Great freagin' video. I have been watching videos for weeks for inspiration on how to set up for the new year, and everyone seems so matter-of-fact, black and white. I totally appreciate your sharing of the thought process of what brought you to your decisions, as reasoning through it is a big part. Obviously, you did most of that off-camera, but thank you for sharing. This has really helped me.
What a great video and I love your honesty. I will be using 4 planners this year. One for my day-to-day plans, one for work, one for wellness, and one for creative journaling. I also have a brain-dumping journal (not HP) and a bullet journal for something else. You have been such an inspiration
Thank you for posting this. Altogether for 2023 I’m using 2 planners, 1 guided journal and 4 Happy Notes that I converted to work for specific areas of my crazy life! So, I guess the answer is 7. Oh my goodness. 😮
I just found your channel and newly subscribed. I love what you’re doing! I have been using The Happy Planner for years every since they were me and my big ideas, so about 13 years I think. Anyway, I love this video and I appreciate your explanations regarding what you do. The wellness planner is one I have to have now and I thought I was all done with my purchases for the year regarding planners. I just love those colors and cheerfulness that they bring. I wish you all the best for 2023 and will continue to watch your channel.
I am using 2 planners this year. I started using the big teacher planner for my catch-all back in August, and I LOVE it! It is just the right amount of decorating for me, and the big is so roomy. I also started tracking expenses and budgeting back in June, so I will continue doing that. I had bought a classic dashboard over the summer, mainly for the dividers, so I plan to just use that. I eoukd like to get back into faith planning at some point, too, but we will see. You really sound like you are in a great space for healing. You're being so kind to yourself. Keeping that attitude will help you so much. I can totally relate to the "new year" syndrome, except mine happens on the fall. Stick with what you know you love and add new in slowly is my motto.
I only have 1 planner this year because honestly I couldn't find less expensive options when I was preparing, but hope to use some notebooks to track health and creative habits, and to try to determine how long tasks take me to do so that I can try to be less of a procrastinator. 2022 helped me make planning a habit, so this year I want to step forward in making more habits that will take me where I want to be.
Hi Nilda, Did you by chance check Ross near you?? They have Happy Planner 18 month planners for less than $10. I’m always on the look out after Black Friday for Ross to have them; was able to get 3 (18 month) planners to fill any missing spots in my line up.
@@nildam.bonilla5849 okay what exactly are you looking for?? Like I said I found 3 planners (18 months) at Ross. My local one also had a self care I think; plus horizontal. I could purchase for you & send them, if you want. It's up to you 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
THank you so much for taking the time to make this video for us and sharing it with us. it does help to get ideas still. For me I am using 4 planners currently and in 2023 I am downsizing to just one because I find myself writing the same thing in all of them right now haha. How have things been with your girlies? I hope you are enjoying your time with them and having as good of a time as you all can be. Sending prayers and good vibes to you all.
Thank you for just being honest! My mother passed away in February 2022, and I have been in a rut since. Losing a loved one is never easy and I just have to remind myself that I am doing the best I can.
For the outdated monthly for 2022, you could just cover the days of the week, making it a Monday start and then cover the year. Then you wouldn’t have to redate all of it.
True, and I might. But to be honest I probably won't be using the monthly for anything, but I kind of want to have the other dividers, so it makes sense to switch the monthly page I think, since the divider is on the back of the one side.
I am using the classic vertical playful mosaic tile for my catch all, another classic vertical seasonal one for my wellness, and the old bookish happy notes for my reading journal. I really enjoy Ilysse's reading journal so I thought I would make myself one next year.
Your videos are always my favorite ! I use 4 planners at the moment, but only 2 consistently and that’s okay! I will be keeping the same 2 big 18 month planners (vertical and horizontal), a new dashboard and daily planner combined into one, and one franken planner lined vertical!
Loved the line-up. So excited to see the set up videos. I do like to switch between a dashboard & vertical once in a while, for my catchall. It's fun to keep us challenged.
I have one planner with different sections. For my wellness planner I use only the monthly pages to write down my stats for each day. I have a couple of extra pages in that section with my running PRs and my HRV tracker for the year. My journaling section I only use one page (an old page) and I cover up the boxes with photo memories and then have a few pages of journalling for the month. Sometimes I journal more and so I have extra pages and sometimes it’s less. I have some guided pages and some filler paper I will add more when necessary. Then my catch-all I have 4 months at a time because all of this gets pretty thick. It has been a lot of trial and error but it has been very working for me lately.
I love seeing your lineup and I cannot wait to see your set up Videos. I’ve been trying to figure out how to keep track of my habits without overwhelming myself with to many planners but I need to be more intentional with all my habits this year. Thank you for always being so open and sharing!
I'm going to be using 4 planners again in 2023. I'll have a monthly for my daily catch-all. The budget planner that I need to be a whole lot more consistent with. I love the dashboard layout for my social media planner and I'm trying to really figure out the best way to use it to schedule blog posts. I do like your idea to also use the monthly pages to note the products you used, and I may give that a try as well. My last planner is going to be a personal sized Filofax for work. I don't need much space for that, just enough to note my clock in and out times and a short list of what I did that day.
I’m considering starting a wellness planner/journal this year in addition to my work planner. I’m thinking about a vertical layout and having a section for my physical health, for what I’m eating (for health but also to flip back through when I need recipe ideas - I figure it can double as a meal planner as well this way), and for my mental health.
I am using the Choose Where Your Energy Goes Happy Planner as well! I fell in love with for many of the same reasons you did - the colors, messages, etc. I look forward to seeing how you are going to use it in 2023. I am inspired by your idea of using it for your habit tracker! ❤❤
Love your line up even though I'm basically a one planner person! I do love the guided journal - or at least have found it intriguing and will check it out. Wishing you much happiness and peace in 2023!
I'm using two planners this year - one for daily tasks and to-dos, and one for journaling. For my daily planner I'm using the Mickey and Minnie classic vertical because I love Disney and it's just so cute, and then I'm gonna add a section in the back for jotting down notes so that way everything is in one place and I don't lose anything. And then my journal is the Cyanotype classic vertical. I've never been very good at journaling and one of my goals for the new year is to journal a little each day because on the days I remember to do it it's always been helpful for me. I really love the design of the cyanotype planner and that art style as a whole, so I'm hoping that'll help me feel motivated to use it!
I thought a lot about the number of planners that I would need or use. For now I set up with a catch all, a creative one - to write all the things I want to make for my Etsy shop, a journal one, but I regret not getting a big size, it seems that I need to write a lot and I run out of space. A memory keeping one for my kids - to write down the new things they make, the new words they use and to put some pictures along the way. 🤣 A budget one to help me out with the stress around the finances. And I got a recipe organizer.. I can't count the times I tried something new, that we all loved, made it few times and then forgot about it all together 🙈😆 I too love the Frankenplanning, but I have tried it and it's overwhelming for me to do it every month 🙈
I was in such a planning slump in 2022 but your channels and videos have me feeling SO excited and inspired for 2023 💖 first time using a happy planner 🫶🏻
I also feel like I can do it all at this time of year and I think it's because I'm so overwhelmed from the holiday season that I just crave structure and routine! I heard your sigh when you talked about being able to fit them all in... What if you do a work, a big frilly family/life and then combine personal journaling and wellness tracking/habits? It sounds like kind of two different vibes but you could hold them in the same book even if you don't necessarily do them both at the same time.
I wanted to let you know that you are such an inspiration to me. After losing my uncle to a sudden heart attack, watching your videos about grief and healing has helped immensely. Thank you for sharing your experience, Mary Ellen. ❤
I use a daily that is not double sided and it changed my life!!!! I love it. I use stickers on it to keep me interested but on my busier days (work days) it makes a difference.
All of this resonated! I have 4 Happy Planners, plus a Hobonichi Cousin, a5 journal, and a5 wide planner :) overwhelm but excitement too! happy holidays, many blessings, and thank you for all you do! I ordered all my 2023 goodies through your links!
I have the Paula and Waffle Classic....I was missing having a Meal Planner in the line-up and I thought, "which design that I haven't chosen is the cheeriest, nicest, really conducive to home and kitchen" Great choices! My only question is in the Paula and Waffle Big, in keeping the dividers, but importing the neutral pages of Le Fleur, wouldn't you have the polka dots on the left of the monthlies still? (Or...Tombow glue the Paula and Waffle to the first Le. Fleur page--problem solved). Ok, mind blown. During Clearance time, I pick up a few more planners, and I'll keep in mind the switheroo trick to get the dividers you want in the layout you want.
I love your videos so much. I'm always excited when I get a new video notification. I feel with you. And I tried to figure out how you could be consistently using your selfcare planner. And I don't want to tell you what to do, but I just like to share my ideas on your struggling... What came to my mind is that it should be easy to use and don't take to much time but be a overview as well. So I think a good idea for your symptom and other tracking is to do like in a habit tracker so you just need to mark those things instead of writing down every single word. So with these lists it would be a little skinnier than your other planners so I thought you could add a monthly landing page maybe using some pages from the goals planner from the be happy box. By the way I had to order that one after I saw your video. And maybe you put it on little disks so the other the middle disks wouldn't be so outstanding. Please don't get me wrong. I would just like to share my thoughts and maybe try to help out a little little bit. I apologize if my English is not the best. I'm not a native speaker. Have a nice day.
I have my main personal planner which includes three: a neutral vertical just for the fun of deco and lettering, a budget planner with the new budget guided journal, and a horizontal for journaling. Then I’m using EC products for work, and an EC horizontal for wellness. It’s a lot but I am incorporating a goals system this year so it’s how I decided to set things up and keep it all straight. Or at least that’s what I told myself. 😹💜
Thank you! I love watching (and listening) to your videos!! Loved hearing about your line up and the 'question marks' that come with it. You have a wonderful aesthetic in your journalling. It is a great source of inspiration! In 2023, I will be using 4 planners: one for home, one for work, a journal, and a "brain dump/list book." I am a Leuchtturm person. Like you, I learned through trial and error. I found out that discs and rings don't work for me. When I watch your videos I really wished that HP was my thing, but sadly it is not. I hope you have a happy holiday! Looking forward to your next video!
I am so sorry to hear about your son. I am a new viewer. But I totally get where you are coming from. Things change after we lose a child and some things just stop working and we don't know why. I think because we change. We are not the same person we were before the loss of our child. HUGS to you!
I feel like we are sisters from another mother. I go in big, all excited and then realize it doesn't work for me. I've done the Frankenplanner numerous times and end up misplacing som months🤪. Not sure what I'm doing for next year. To be honest, I am taking a break from planners except for my on the go-to keep up with appointments. I only watch about 3 planners TH-cam channels at this time. Thanks for sharing your struggles and successes. It helps.❤️🎄
I have an 18 month planner. Playful Tiles. I love it still. I will be using a Mini for work. Just my schedule. I also will be doing a daily planner for Journaling. We'll see. Alot to decorate. Lol
I tried to use the 2022 HP big vertical but found it too difficult to write a daily list. I love the size. Your idea for decorating is gorgeous! I’m still figuring this all out in my mind. I used the HP 2022 meal plan some weeks. I didn’t like having only three lists for groceries per month. I plan weekly so I shop weekly. Now there isn’t a 2023 meal planner available. I’m trying to figure out how to combine meal plan with health and fitness. Not sure yet what I’m going to do. Currently I use a spiral notebook with just paper.
2023 I'll be using 5 planners. 1- menu planner 2- daily to do planner 3- Memory planner (What I did that week) 4 Personal Tell-All planner, good and bad thoughts, that no one but I will see. 5 - Spiritual Planner for prayers, gratitude, praise and scripture that has spoken to me. The biggest designing with stickers and drawings will be in my Memory planner. The rest will be little to no decorating.
Yay I was excited to see your planner lineup video and so much resonated with me! I'm planning to use 7 planners this year in a transformer/frakenplanner style, that's what I used last year and it worked out great but just going to switch up some of the layouts to work better for me during this new chapter in my life (big move and new job upcoming!) thank you for sharing and can't wait to see your setup videos 😍
I will be using 3 planners a vertical, dashboard, and my faith planner. I loved your idea of changing every month. Are you using the bullet journal or you dumped? Im thinking of adding a bullet journal to my routine. Thank you for all your inspiration. I'm keeping you in my prayers and have a Merry Christmas!
Thank you for sharing. I love to watch. I would like to know, how the blank undated monthly pages are named (the one that look to be sold separatly, in your video they are in a plastic enveloppe and that can be add in the classic HP), I would like to get them but I don't see them on Happy Planner website. I am new to planning... I chose one for functional things for Clever Fox and I have 2 from Happy Planner, one as a journal and I don't know what I will do with the other one but it is beautiful and as it was a kit (La Fleur), I bought all that match with it (both HP planner are classic size). Thank you :)
Is there any squad members that do a caregiving planner/spread. I'm an in home caregiver and I can't fit all of my plans in one binder. I need some inspirational ideas
As for you Franken-planning: Expander discs, and 3-4 months at a time. When January is over, add April. No set up. Just move through the year! I’d love to see you try it. It doesn’t have to be complicated! 😊
Can we still get the daily page inserts with the hours listed like that. I can't find any... I can find the ones that are in the first book in the video, but they don't have hours listed
What do you do with your planner at the end of the year when you’re finished using it? Do you throw it away? save it? And if you save it , do you throw out some pages and keep others? what’s your storage method?
I've realized I can't commit to a yearly planner. I'm going to not put pressure on myself to choose by Jan 1, I have undated options until I decide which direction I'm going.
Mary Ellen, let me just first say, I love you! I’ve commented on a few of your vids but have been following you about 3 to 4 years. Don’t feel like your the only one still trying to figure out your lineup because me and my big sister go back and forth every other day with trying to use our stuff but wanting new stuff! 😂 Nonetheless, I’m so proud of you and your grace through EVERYTHING! I can only imagine….we won’t stay there. You inspire me, your rambles make me chuckle and I have a Bumble…except her name is Macie Grey. This little dog I tell you! I could go on and on but it’s the season and I just wanted to let you know not only have you “influenced” me..😂😂😂 But I love all of your quirkiness. Your so creative and hopefully we’ll link one day! I started my channel about 3years ago and goy discouraged. This is my real name I’m commenting under but if you see @thedyfunctionalfunctional, just know that’s me Candice💕 Happy holidays M.E.
How many planners do I need - I am a wife, mother, & work full time outside home plus have 3 side gigs - I need to track mileage & all the schedule c stuff
I made a mistake, the daily planner is not Jewel Tone Jungle, it is Tropical Boho! Does anyone else get those themes confused? Haha! All the links are in the description box! So excited for the new year!!!
I just wanted to say thank you for sticking with Happy Planner. So many influencers and former Squad members drop Happy Planner when their term is up. Then I have to search for new influencers to inspire me. I'm a die hard Happy Planner person. I've been following you for years and you're my number one go-to TH-camr. I love your designs and I appreciate your desire to stick with Happy Planner. So thank you.
Yea agreed I feel like everyone is leaving Discs at the most so anyone HP i subscribe haha
Same. I love the Happy Planner and I honestly don't think I could ever go back to a non-disc system. And while there are other discbound planner systems I just think Happy Planner's designs and layouts are the best
You were my first planning inspirer and I’ve followed you since you began. Your creativity, frankness, and strength are beyond admirable. Today is a tough one for me and I am so grateful this is the first YT video that popped up. Honestly, it feels like a cozy, comforting homecoming. You are a blessing in this world. May the year to come bring you infinite blessings and peace. Thank you for being you.
I am using 4 planners, but dividing the pages so there are three months’ pages of all 4 planners in each one. It is a one time set up of 4 frankenplanners and that means every 3 months I get “new” covers and dividers to keep me from getting bored. I have all the plans in one book at a time and don’t have to swap pages every month.
That’s pretty brilliant!
Brilliant indeed!
LOOOVE THAT IDEA!
That's an amazing idea!
Thank you for this video Mary Ellen. I am chronically depressed, but September through December (holiday season) are especially hard months for me every year, and every year my planners get ignored during my dark time,. But this year as I was watching planning videos and doing some (a lot!) back planning as well as prepping the December weeks to come I realized the same thing you did: that planning makes me feel better. I wrote that in my 2023 planner to remind myself not to let it go when I'm feeling bad. As part of my planner line up for 2023 I am going to use the Stress Management layout and will incorporate my what I like to call Things I Accomplished Today. I don't assign a number of things because setting expectations is a set up for failure. Even if I just list getting out of bed as the Thing I Accomplished Today, that will be a win.
Hang in there. It is a tough time of year, I am struggling too. Hugs
You got this - this time of year is tough! Look for the bright and calm moments and embrace them.
@@PlanningwithBumble I’m sorry to hear about you losing your son. Our son died in Jan 2021. I’m trying to get into the habit of panning so I can get something accomplished! My brain is scattered. 😒
To all of your struggling with grief and depression. I don’t know you personally but, I will pray for you all. I know that exact grief and depression. I lost my son in 2017 he was only 17. I still grieve him to this day and always will. I have begun to use a planner for grief. Writing down my thoughts, prayers and scripture. If you ladies have YouVersion Bible app. Facing the Giant of Grief and Loss has been a great plan! Take care! Thank you Mary Ellen for your planner spreads and ideas !❤
@@2stewarts17a great app! Going through the Bible chronologically has been a great part of 2022. ❤ until people come to Christ, they won’t know the peace only He can give.
Mine: Cozy Critters 😍😍😍 & recovery guided journal
Loved seeing this! This will be my third year using a Happy Planner, but I’m still just mainly doing one. I would call it my catch-all planner, but honestly, it’s more like decorative journal for me, as I mostly back plan with it. As a housewife and homeschooling mom, it’s not like I have a ton of things to plan ahead for, ha.
I’ve only used floral planners before (and truly LOVED this year’s planner with the copper disks), but I just want to thank you for basically giving me the freedom to branch out from that without feeling weird or too immature for me! I chose the Cozy Critters planner (and had to grab the sticker book and notebook too 🥰). I think before watching your unboxing video and hearing you say you might possibly go with one of them because of how cute they were, I would probably have said I needed something more “sophisticated and mature.” Which I don’t… Because I stay home all day with kids. 😆 And if I need a sophisticated cover for whatever reason, I can pop one of the florals on there. 🙃 Seeing your Cozy Critters PWM is what finalized my decision, and my planner arrived TODAY!!!! 😍🥰
I’m waiting on a good sale from HP to grab a planner for my purse (… and praying it’s still in stock when the sale happens! 🙏🏻). I’m going to start doing a recovery guided journal along with some people I love. Mine will be health-related. I’m also waiting to decide on what to use as my faith planner - and then a good sale actually to get it. 😊
I have my work planner that stays at work... I have my Big Happy Planner that I take with me. I also have a classic size WIP journal with cover stock pages that show each of my cross-stitch works in progress - it has the fabric, designer, stitch count, start date, etc., then each cover page has lined paper that I write the date I stitched with how many stitches. They used to be in my happy planner I carried with me everyday, but it became too much with 40 WIPS, so that one stays home. 2023 is the first big planner & I'm loving it... I started using it 2 weeks ago, I've just added lined paper and am making my own daily pages until I get to the 26th where they start.
My word for 2023 came to me yesterday... Value...
Value the time with my daughters & grandchildren... Value my time creatively... Value the moment... Value my finances
Merry Christmas... you are my favorite planner!!!
What resonated most is "if not, it's life and we can't be everything we want to be all the time." I definitely needed to hear that and be more gentle with myself! :) Good luck to you on your journey. I love your channel the most of all the planners and look forward to planning with you in 2023!
I am so grateful for your videos! You got me to understand how fun and handy the Happy Planner Disc system is! I am in love with it. This year (2022) I started with 1 Big and then eventually once I learned more about it grew to include 2 more classic planners. Next year, I am switching to fully classic size and using 7 different planners with several fill in pages that I have created to help me monitor my ever changing health and schedule! Thank you for all your videos and keeping it real!
Great lineup. I’m using 4 planners. Catch all. Fitness. Journal. Budget.
Your content is ALWAYS so helpful to me!! I, too, ditched my wellness planner in 2022. I couldn't figure out how to use it for me. I'm using a Big Dashboard for my catch all planner in 2023. I also use a Big Teacher (restickered for 7 days rather than 5) for meal planning and all things food. I have the new Big Happy Sewing planner for all things sewing/crafting and I don't think I've ever been more excited about a calendar in my life! LOL!! I've frankenplanned extension packs and Big monthly pages to create a Big budget and bill paying planner. I use a Classic with Christmas extension packs and pages for holiday planning. And I use "spare parts" from Bigs to create notebooks for travel planning and recipe collecting. I, too, don't have as full a calendar I had when my kids were home, but disc planners are ideal for organizing my life and my time. :)
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed it and you are very creative. ♥️
Still not sure how many/what new planners I am using yet. I always get super excited for the new year and fresh start in planners too. Being gentle with ourselves is so important and those are great words of wisdom Mary Ellen
Love your idea on bringing in different layouts monthly! Thank you!
First of all, I am so very sorry to hear about your son. I’m sending you some virtual hugs. I switched to the teacher lesson plan layout to separate social media and youtube by day. It works AMAZING! My main problem is that I have soooo many tabs open in my brain that I don’t know how to separate them in order to use a planner. My life goal is to create my perfect planner..lol! Thank you for your videos! You are by far my favorite inspiration!
Lovely to hear you reflect on how you use your planner and what you need. I've done the same and I think I have a good set up now.💜
So much (always) to think about in planner set up, but I think I've got it - Dashboard for catch all (teeny tiny florals), Frankenplanner: Squairdplans quadrant for quotes/lettering, dark botanicals for journal (vertical), self care journal and natural wellness for wellness/fitness/self care, DIY gifts and special occasions. I'll add in gardening for my houseplant/gardening care in my frankenplanner. Each quarter or season I use themed scrapbook paper as my 'left' side divider decor.
So far for me
Mini dashboard for fitness & health
Classic vertical seasons journal & I'll add insert half sheet check list for weekly chores
BIG - budget (printable from the budget mom)
Classic notebook as a memory keeper printing pics as we go not a weekly thing just the important/fun stuff for my life & family.
I have 8 planner!
1. Meal, 1.Daily, 1work, 3 for my breeding program ( meal, nursery, appt....) 1 faith and 1 General put everything in, with lots of decoration and STICKER!!!!!
I use the BIG dashboard pages as my To Do List, I wish I could have your extra pages because I buy a whole planner just for the scratch paper.
Sometimes I forget how hard of a year you've had because you are so upbeat, you are amazing. Sending you extra love! 💓
I was using two planners but after seeing your video and seeing that wellness planner, I think I’m gonna incorporate that into my day. My focus next year will to be as healthy as I can be both mentally and physically. Plus I really like the message the wellness planner sends and the dividers.
I like that you are going to be gentle with yourself. You are always so positive and honest and that means a lot! Thanks for all that you do. I think that you help people more than you realize 😉☺️🤗
I use a frankenplanner with a monthly, daily, project tracker, and notes, all in a Happy Planner (though I will be hand-making the monthlies).
I’ve decided to use 4 planners and I really hope I can keep up with them. I have to be honest I haven’t written in my planners since October. I’ve been going through a lot and my depression and anxiety have been really bad and my ADD doesn’t help at all. I’m also dealing with chronic pain after breaking my left hip and femur last year and the doctors r trying to figure out different ways to help with the pain. I had to quit my full time job at an elementary school in October bc of the pain in my leg. I’m now working part-time but of course that doesn’t pay a lot and I’m struggling there too. But I’ve decided to get my life back on track and starting in January everything is going to change with me and I’m really going to start working on myself to get better. I love how u r so real in ur videos and u inspire me all the time. Mary Ellen I’m so glad I found u last year bc when I’ve had some dark times or thoughts just watching ur videos really bring me out of those times. Thanks for all u do u r a true inspiration and r so amazing!!! 😊
I’m with you about combining planners and decorating my daily planner. Too much work. It works best for me to use my daily planner for keeping myself organized.
My 2023 Word of the Year is Foundation, everything needs a supportive foundation. I am using two planners for 2023: Filofax One Day on a Page with appointment times and trying The Big Happy Planner Sewing, exclusive to Joann’s, for the first time in order to track my NeedleArts and attempt some creative journaling. I’m a new subscriber and enjoy your videos so much.
I’m using two planner at home snd one I leave at work. One for my wellness/heath, reading journal, scripture writing, and hiking log. My other for to-do’s, monthly, and weekly planning. One is a half size disc and the other is an A5 ring binder.
I'm using the dashboard layout & a vertical for planning purposes, plus I have a second vertical planner just for sticker spreads (yes, I buy a lot of stickers & I'm ok with that!). I journal in a plain, lined notebook with a cute cover, so I have space to write as much as needed each day. Thank you so much for sharing your personal journey & planner ideas! Be well & have fun! 😀
Love love love!!!! Thanks for the inspiration and freaking honesty! It's appreciated so much❤️
I use a Dashboard for my daily planner. Work paid for my planner this year and I was able to get a Happy planner but that one is vertical. This year I used a cheap planner for my Faith planning, but I bought a horizontal one for that. I tried to do a journaling one this year because I love yours so much, but because the ones I was using had certain colors all over it, I felt I could only use them. Still deciding about that. I can’t imagine NOT planning. It is my therapy
I use three planners. I have a classic vertical catch all, a big work planner, and a small dashboard for wellness. 😊
Thank you for sharing Mary Ellen. Love your videos and am always inspired :-)
This video popped up in my notifications on my phone and I could not wait to watch it!
Great freagin' video. I have been watching videos for weeks for inspiration on how to set up for the new year, and everyone seems so matter-of-fact, black and white. I totally appreciate your sharing of the thought process of what brought you to your decisions, as reasoning through it is a big part. Obviously, you did most of that off-camera, but thank you for sharing. This has really helped me.
Oh good, I’m glad it helped!!
What a great video and I love your honesty. I will be using 4 planners this year. One for my day-to-day plans, one for work, one for wellness, and one for creative journaling. I also have a brain-dumping journal (not HP) and a bullet journal for something else. You have been such an inspiration
I am looking forward most to starting a creative journal.
Thank you for posting this. Altogether for 2023 I’m using 2 planners, 1 guided journal and 4 Happy Notes that I converted to work for specific areas of my crazy life! So, I guess the answer is 7. Oh my goodness. 😮
I just found your channel and newly subscribed. I love what you’re doing! I have been using The Happy Planner for years every since they were me and my big ideas, so about 13 years I think. Anyway, I love this video and I appreciate your explanations regarding what you do. The wellness planner is one I have to have now and I thought I was all done with my purchases for the year regarding planners. I just love those colors and cheerfulness that they bring. I wish you all the best for 2023 and will continue to watch your channel.
Thank you for subscribing!
I am using 2 planners this year. I started using the big teacher planner for my catch-all back in August, and I LOVE it! It is just the right amount of decorating for me, and the big is so roomy. I also started tracking expenses and budgeting back in June, so I will continue doing that. I had bought a classic dashboard over the summer, mainly for the dividers, so I plan to just use that. I eoukd like to get back into faith planning at some point, too, but we will see. You really sound like you are in a great space for healing. You're being so kind to yourself. Keeping that attitude will help you so much. I can totally relate to the "new year" syndrome, except mine happens on the fall. Stick with what you know you love and add new in slowly is my motto.
I only have 1 planner this year because honestly I couldn't find less expensive options when I was preparing, but hope to use some notebooks to track health and creative habits, and to try to determine how long tasks take me to do so that I can try to be less of a procrastinator. 2022 helped me make planning a habit, so this year I want to step forward in making more habits that will take me where I want to be.
Hi Nilda,
Did you by chance check Ross near you?? They have Happy Planner 18 month planners for less than $10. I’m always on the look out after Black Friday for Ross to have them; was able to get 3 (18 month) planners to fill any missing spots in my line up.
@@teresaalbarran883unfortunately there's no Ross in Puerto Rico
@@nildam.bonilla5849 okay what exactly are you looking for?? Like I said I found 3 planners (18 months) at Ross. My local one also had a self care I think; plus horizontal. I could purchase for you & send them, if you want. It's up to you 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
THank you so much for taking the time to make this video for us and sharing it with us. it does help to get ideas still. For me I am using 4 planners currently and in 2023 I am downsizing to just one because I find myself writing the same thing in all of them right now haha. How have things been with your girlies? I hope you are enjoying your time with them and having as good of a time as you all can be. Sending prayers and good vibes to you all.
Just 1 for me. I'm switching from a monthly to a vertical. I'm going to miss those extra pages, great for budgeting. Glad to see them here.
Thank you for just being honest! My mother passed away in February 2022, and I have been in a rut since. Losing a loved one is never easy and I just have to remind myself that I am doing the best I can.
For the outdated monthly for 2022, you could just cover the days of the week, making it a Monday start and then cover the year. Then you wouldn’t have to redate all of it.
True, and I might. But to be honest I probably won't be using the monthly for anything, but I kind of want to have the other dividers, so it makes sense to switch the monthly page I think, since the divider is on the back of the one side.
I am using the classic vertical playful mosaic tile for my catch all, another classic vertical seasonal one for my wellness, and the old bookish happy notes for my reading journal. I really enjoy Ilysse's reading journal so I thought I would make myself one next year.
Your videos are always my favorite !
I use 4 planners at the moment, but only 2 consistently and that’s okay! I will be keeping the same 2 big 18 month planners (vertical and horizontal), a new dashboard and daily planner combined into one, and one franken planner lined vertical!
Loved the line-up. So excited to see the set up videos. I do like to switch between a dashboard & vertical once in a while, for my catchall. It's fun to keep us challenged.
I have one planner with different sections. For my wellness planner I use only the monthly pages to write down my stats for each day. I have a couple of extra pages in that section with my running PRs and my HRV tracker for the year. My journaling section I only use one page (an old page) and I cover up the boxes with photo memories and then have a few pages of journalling for the month. Sometimes I journal more and so I have extra pages and sometimes it’s less. I have some guided pages and some filler paper I will add more when necessary. Then my catch-all I have 4 months at a time because all of this gets pretty thick. It has been a lot of trial and error but it has been very working for me lately.
I love seeing your lineup and I cannot wait to see your set up
Videos. I’ve been trying to figure out how to keep track of my habits without overwhelming myself with to many planners but I need to be more intentional with all my habits this year. Thank you for always being so open and sharing!
Now I want a journaling one too !!!
I'm going to be using 4 planners again in 2023. I'll have a monthly for my daily catch-all. The budget planner that I need to be a whole lot more consistent with. I love the dashboard layout for my social media planner and I'm trying to really figure out the best way to use it to schedule blog posts. I do like your idea to also use the monthly pages to note the products you used, and I may give that a try as well. My last planner is going to be a personal sized Filofax for work. I don't need much space for that, just enough to note my clock in and out times and a short list of what I did that day.
I’m considering starting a wellness planner/journal this year in addition to my work planner. I’m thinking about a vertical layout and having a section for my physical health, for what I’m eating (for health but also to flip back through when I need recipe ideas - I figure it can double as a meal planner as well this way), and for my mental health.
I am using the Choose Where Your Energy Goes Happy Planner as well! I fell in love with for many of the same reasons you did - the colors, messages, etc. I look forward to seeing how you are going to use it in 2023. I am inspired by your idea of using it for your habit tracker! ❤❤
Love your line up even though I'm basically a one planner person! I do love the guided journal - or at least have found it intriguing and will check it out. Wishing you much happiness and peace in 2023!
I love, love, love this video! I know you’re one of the last ones to film your line up but you’re like my grand finale video!
Haha love that thanks
Literally we are thinking the same way!! Everything you said resonated with me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!
I'm using two planners this year - one for daily tasks and to-dos, and one for journaling. For my daily planner I'm using the Mickey and Minnie classic vertical because I love Disney and it's just so cute, and then I'm gonna add a section in the back for jotting down notes so that way everything is in one place and I don't lose anything.
And then my journal is the Cyanotype classic vertical. I've never been very good at journaling and one of my goals for the new year is to journal a little each day because on the days I remember to do it it's always been helpful for me. I really love the design of the cyanotype planner and that art style as a whole, so I'm hoping that'll help me feel motivated to use it!
I’m using the stress management planner too as a journal!
Try journaling in a skinny classic? I’d love to see that 🙂
I thought a lot about the number of planners that I would need or use. For now I set up with a catch all, a creative one - to write all the things I want to make for my Etsy shop, a journal one, but I regret not getting a big size, it seems that I need to write a lot and I run out of space. A memory keeping one for my kids - to write down the new things they make, the new words they use and to put some pictures along the way. 🤣 A budget one to help me out with the stress around the finances. And I got a recipe organizer.. I can't count the times I tried something new, that we all loved, made it few times and then forgot about it all together 🙈😆
I too love the Frankenplanning, but I have tried it and it's overwhelming for me to do it every month 🙈
I'm using the dashboard as my catch all...its all neutral and for work I'm using the HP work planner they released
I was in such a planning slump in 2022 but your channels and videos have me feeling SO excited and inspired for 2023 💖 first time using a happy planner 🫶🏻
I also feel like I can do it all at this time of year and I think it's because I'm so overwhelmed from the holiday season that I just crave structure and routine! I heard your sigh when you talked about being able to fit them all in... What if you do a work, a big frilly family/life and then combine personal journaling and wellness tracking/habits? It sounds like kind of two different vibes but you could hold them in the same book even if you don't necessarily do them both at the same time.
I wanted to let you know that you are such an inspiration to me. After losing my uncle to a sudden heart attack, watching your videos about grief and healing has helped immensely. Thank you for sharing your experience, Mary Ellen. ❤
You are you and you are just fine the way you are. Do your thing, I understand what you mean, I strugle too with the same as you.
I use a daily that is not double sided and it changed my life!!!! I love it. I use stickers on it to keep me interested but on my busier days (work days) it makes a difference.
Thanks for sharing! I may try to use those sheets
All of this resonated! I have 4 Happy Planners, plus a Hobonichi Cousin, a5 journal, and a5 wide planner :) overwhelm but excitement too! happy holidays, many blessings, and thank you for all you do! I ordered all my 2023 goodies through your links!
This was a fun and exciting video! Can't wait to see the set-ups 🥰🙌🏾🥰
I have the Paula and Waffle Classic....I was missing having a Meal Planner in the line-up and I thought, "which design that I haven't chosen is the cheeriest, nicest, really conducive to home and kitchen" Great choices! My only question is in the Paula and Waffle Big, in keeping the dividers, but importing the neutral pages of Le Fleur, wouldn't you have the polka dots on the left of the monthlies still? (Or...Tombow glue the Paula and Waffle to the first Le. Fleur page--problem solved). Ok, mind blown. During Clearance time, I pick up a few more planners, and I'll keep in mind the switheroo trick to get the dividers you want in the layout you want.
I love your videos so much. I'm always excited when I get a new video notification. I feel with you. And I tried to figure out how you could be consistently using your selfcare planner. And I don't want to tell you what to do, but I just like to share my ideas on your struggling... What came to my mind is that it should be easy to use and don't take to much time but be a overview as well. So I think a good idea for your symptom and other tracking is to do like in a habit tracker so you just need to mark those things instead of writing down every single word. So with these lists it would be a little skinnier than your other planners so I thought you could add a monthly landing page maybe using some pages from the goals planner from the be happy box. By the way I had to order that one after I saw your video. And maybe you put it on little disks so the other the middle disks wouldn't be so outstanding. Please don't get me wrong. I would just like to share my thoughts and maybe try to help out a little little bit. I apologize if my English is not the best. I'm not a native speaker. Have a nice day.
I really want the daily !
I have my main personal planner which includes three: a neutral vertical just for the fun of deco and lettering, a budget planner with the new budget guided journal, and a horizontal for journaling. Then I’m using EC products for work, and an EC horizontal for wellness. It’s a lot but I am incorporating a goals system this year so it’s how I decided to set things up and keep it all straight. Or at least that’s what I told myself. 😹💜
Thank you! I love watching (and listening) to your videos!! Loved hearing about your line up and the 'question marks' that come with it. You have a wonderful aesthetic in your journalling. It is a great source of inspiration!
In 2023, I will be using 4 planners: one for home, one for work, a journal, and a "brain dump/list book." I am a Leuchtturm person. Like you, I learned through trial and error. I found out that discs and rings don't work for me. When I watch your videos I really wished that HP was my thing, but sadly it is not. I hope you have a happy holiday! Looking forward to your next video!
I am so sorry to hear about your son. I am a new viewer. But I totally get where you are coming from. Things change after we lose a child and some things just stop working and we don't know why. I think because we change. We are not the same person we were before the loss of our child. HUGS to you!
I feel like we are sisters from another mother. I go in big, all excited and then realize it doesn't work for me. I've done the Frankenplanner numerous times and end up misplacing som months🤪. Not sure what I'm doing for next year. To be honest, I am taking a break from planners except for my on the go-to keep up with appointments. I only watch about 3 planners TH-cam channels at this time. Thanks for sharing your struggles and successes. It helps.❤️🎄
I got the stress management planner as well and I'm excited the most about that one. 😃
I have an 18 month planner. Playful Tiles. I love it still. I will be using a Mini for work. Just my schedule. I also will be doing a daily planner for Journaling. We'll see. Alot to decorate. Lol
I love some of your ideas. Video great as always 😊❤
I tried to use the 2022 HP big vertical but found it too difficult to write a daily list. I love the size. Your idea for decorating is gorgeous! I’m still figuring this all out in my mind.
I used the HP 2022 meal plan some weeks. I didn’t like having only three lists for groceries per month. I plan weekly so I shop weekly. Now there isn’t a 2023 meal planner available. I’m trying to figure out how to combine meal plan with health and fitness. Not sure yet what I’m going to do. Currently I use a spiral notebook with just paper.
I'd love to see how someone uses the stress management layout. I am going to try it but I'm not sure how long I will last with it.
2023 I'll be using 5 planners. 1- menu planner 2- daily to do planner 3- Memory planner (What I did that week) 4 Personal Tell-All planner, good and bad thoughts, that no one but I will see. 5 - Spiritual Planner for prayers, gratitude, praise and scripture that has spoken to me. The biggest designing with stickers and drawings will be in my Memory planner. The rest will be little to no decorating.
I also write notes on an env5. Lol. I will never be a very organized person either. It seems the more I try to be organized the worse I get. Lol.
Yay I was excited to see your planner lineup video and so much resonated with me! I'm planning to use 7 planners this year in a transformer/frakenplanner style, that's what I used last year and it worked out great but just going to switch up some of the layouts to work better for me during this new chapter in my life (big move and new job upcoming!) thank you for sharing and can't wait to see your setup videos 😍
I will be using 3 planners a vertical, dashboard, and my faith planner. I loved your idea of changing every month. Are you using the bullet journal or you dumped? Im thinking of adding a bullet journal to my routine. Thank you for all your inspiration. I'm keeping you in my prayers and have a Merry Christmas!
Omg just yesterday as I was watching your other vid I was wondering about your 2023 lineup and thought did I had miss it ?!😊glad I didn’t!
Thank you for sharing. I love to watch. I would like to know, how the blank undated monthly pages are named (the one that look to be sold separatly, in your video they are in a plastic enveloppe and that can be add in the classic HP), I would like to get them but I don't see them on Happy Planner website. I am new to planning... I chose one for functional things for Clever Fox and I have 2 from Happy Planner, one as a journal and I don't know what I will do with the other one but it is beautiful and as it was a kit (La Fleur), I bought all that match with it (both HP planner are classic size). Thank you :)
Is there any squad members that do a caregiving planner/spread. I'm an in home caregiver and I can't fit all of my plans in one binder. I need some inspirational ideas
As for you Franken-planning:
Expander discs, and 3-4 months at a time. When January is over, add April. No set up. Just move through the year! I’d love to see you try it. It doesn’t have to be complicated! 😊
Too chunky for me! Lol
Can we still get the daily page inserts with the hours listed like that. I can't find any... I can find the ones that are in the first book in the video, but they don't have hours listed
What do you do with your planner at the end of the year when you’re finished using it? Do you throw it away? save it? And if you save it , do you throw out some pages and keep others? what’s your storage method?
She saves them!
Can I ask what you do with the weekly pages that you swap out?
Used 12 happy planners for 2023
I've realized I can't commit to a yearly planner. I'm going to not put pressure on myself to choose by Jan 1, I have undated options until I decide which direction I'm going.
Mary Ellen, let me just first say, I love you! I’ve commented on a few of your vids but have been following you about 3 to 4 years. Don’t feel like your the only one still trying to figure out your lineup because me and my big sister go back and forth every other day with trying to use our stuff but wanting new stuff! 😂 Nonetheless, I’m so proud of you and your grace through EVERYTHING! I can only imagine….we won’t stay there. You inspire me, your rambles make me chuckle and I have a Bumble…except her name is Macie Grey. This little dog I tell you! I could go on and on but it’s the season and I just wanted to let you know not only have you “influenced” me..😂😂😂 But I love all of your quirkiness. Your so creative and hopefully we’ll link one day! I started my channel about 3years ago and goy discouraged. This is my real name I’m commenting under but if you see @thedyfunctionalfunctional, just know that’s me Candice💕 Happy holidays M.E.
Thank you so much Candice!
How many planners do I need - I am a wife, mother, & work full time outside home plus have 3 side gigs - I need to track mileage & all the schedule c stuff
For now I will be using 3 planners
I can’t find a lined vertical! I have my teacher planner for work, but I need a new catch all and I am running out of time!
Great ideas. Now I’m going to have to really think! I thought I had a plan LOL.Seriously some good things to consider. Thank you :-)
I’m down to 2. One for work ( HP) and one for home ( not HP)
Love your lineup. Does HP have classic size checklists or are your ordering elsewhere? I’ve been looking for plain dot grid in Classic size also. ❤
So you have 4: daily, work, journal, & wellness ????
And catch-all. Five planners
