Thanks for the ideas.. I’m a widow, retired, and my 3 daughters have all flown the coop, so my planner sometimes can be pretty bare... I have already seen your first video of ideas.. I’ll add these new ones to that list... thanks again!
IDK if it was in your first video or not, but other ideas could be: 1. Journal 2. Websites you visit frequently 3. Subscription renewal dates (like for magazines--I know I always forget when a magazine is paid up through and when it is supposed to renew) 4. Shopping (online) tracker -- Where, When, How Much Spent, Shipped, Received, etc. (or there's hundreds of other ideas for "trackers") I'm sure you already mentioned these...or most at least but if not, you can add them to your next "10 Ideas for when you're not busy" video
Use to use planners for a long time l. The stopped. I'm older now #50 & feels like I forget everything now💀😆. Decided to buy A Happy Planner 1st time using Happy Planner and reeeeeally like it. If i don't write anything else in it, I write when bills are due huge huge help. TFS 💜 your ideas
I’m late on this one but. I alway put what I’m thankful for thank God for my blessing. I put my cooking and my crafts. I have a boarding life but a happy one. I work and I write everything in my planner. Thank you. I have two planners trying to see what one I like the best.
I’m new to planning and recently found you...AND LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! Thanks so much for all the great ideas for planners especially if you’re not too busy! I use my planner as more of a memory keeper, chore tracker and dog log (I have two puppies and want to track their development/growth, vet appts, and personality differences...I’m retired so not always super busy where I need to track super important things. Anyway, so maybe another idea for you later...I log a “song for the week” in my planner (in the sidebar) and created a playlist on my phone so I will have a year of songs/playlist of 52 songs at the end of the year to remind me of what songs I liked or thought about during the year of 2020. Thanks again for all your wonderful videos and doodle of the day!!
love your ideas also - we are similar in the respect that my daughter is not a child anymore so my life is not so busy -- i do work at the local hospital so i could incorporate that into the planner as well. thank you for all the terrific ideas.
The funny thing is that I actually use these when I'm too busy! Sometimes when I'm too busy, or have a really long work day or event, my planner can end up empty on certain days and this helps!
Just getting into HP and watching your videos for inspiration! I love you Doodle of the Day as it makes me think of Blues Clues! Thank you for these videos! Even if I'm a year late 😆
Wow! Is this ever appropriate for this time of “social distancing “ ! I am not a busy person on a normal day, so I loved all the ideas, especially the current events idea! I will probably do a whole spread on that....
This was great! I did see your 1st video on this subject and I loved that one too. I'm a pretty boring person, but a lot of the ideas you gave never even crossed my mind to put in my planner! Love your videos. Thanks so much!
Mary Ellen, once again you have inspired me with your creative ideas. I always look forward to your weekly Plan with Me videos and now the extra videos you have been producing go even further to help equip me with ideas to continue to create spreads that will be so pretty, yet contain so much information about my daily life that I will always have to refer back to if I want. Great job, Mary Ellen!
I watched and enjoyed both of your videos today. And, I took something away from each one. Now I just need to execute. Definitely a thumbs up from me!!!
I love all your videos. 🥰But the one you did on how to fill up your planner was a gift to all of us planner newbies who don’t know how to fill up our planner.
Thank you so much I needed that info. I am always looking for things to put in my planners. I bought too many so I want to use them but I need a purpose and some of these things you mentioned maybe I can use to make a planner specifically for that. 🤷♀️
So funny. I just made a similar video because some days I would rather be more creative in it then leave it blank! I love to add verses and quotes when I have blank spaces and the I also add sprocket pictures sometimes.
I need more of these videos. :) I love having a planner but I am so not busy. I work 9 - 5 Mon-Fri ...if I forget to go to work I'm going to need more help than a planner can give me. I use mine to decorate as a stress reliever. :)
I love your doodles! You are really talented! I don't know why I never put anything about the weather in my planner. I know we have weather stickers. Maybe I will see about doing that at times.
If I ever get my act together (3 planners purchased, not one thing entered!), I want to use my planners to track progress on various projects. I am multi-tasking knitter, quilter, 3x Etsy shop owner and I always have many things going on at once, though I"m never very busy at any one time. I lose track with so many projects and would like to be able to see them all in one place and track the steps completed, steps to go, etc. Fingers crossed! 💚💚💚
This was a great video and very helpful thank you. I love the doodle of the day I have been doodling with you so thank you for teaching me how to doodle you are great.
I use the weekly to jot down what craft I worked on I do multiple crafts , and if I sold anything on Poshmark. If I did something special that day I decorate with stickers on the weekly . I use the monthly spread for pictures I just started planning I wanted to use it more as a journal with my crafts and selling and my retail job., my youngest is still in school and we go places I journal about that , I try to make a point to jot down at least one sentence for that day or my feelings or the weather in the weekly pages. Like both your videos great ideas
I wanted to have my planner also be a journal because I dont have much to plan lol. I tried and I felt like I didnt have enough room in my planner to journal because I like to write a lot lol. So for now until I figure out a system for that I have to stick to having my planner and journal separate. I want it all in 1 place so i can just have one memory keeper thing for the entire year. 😩 any ideas on how to turn your planner into a journal for someone who likes to write as well?? I need more videos with those kind of ideas!! Lol
hi, could you please do a video about the differences between the catch all planner ant the mini one in your purse? I don’t get the concept, because i think you will scribble down everything twice???
Lara Mauss my mini is a quick overview of my week so I can look at it on the go. I also use my mini for my grocery list and things to buy. My big is more detailed and encompasses everything. If I didn’t have a TH-cam channel I might not even be decorating my mini because it’s more just functional and my writing in it is usually chicken scratch! But I know a lot of you like to see how to decorate the mini so I show you. Hope that helps!
I have 3 girls but we do nothing in this tiny-everbody-knows- everyone town. It's 35 minutes just to only local grocery store. If you don't join bar crowd or church crowd than there isn't much for you. Nobody even does birthday parties or welcome to the woods neighbor. I'm a weirdo that stretches out my hand to introduce myself lol. Now my girls are all in school. They had choice for join YMCA for each seasonal sports(4 sports at 6 weeks each) and take on 40 min drives. Or 2 weeks total of summer camp. They all wanted summer camps. So they go to school, come home, enjoy nature and homebody life, and repeat. I wish sometimes we had relatives but there is none. Just each other and not big on the 2 choices to be sociable. Life is what it is.
I don't have a social life in person but I use my planners for all my hobbies and keeping track of my water intake. Love all your ideas.

I love all your ideas and especially love how you implemented it into your pages and I think your planner is fantastic.
All you're spreads are so cute. You are truly artistic & have such a talent for planning & ideas. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.

Besides work & house cleaning I'm not a busy person at all but I'm addicted to happy planner ...I mostly use it for fitness/wellness

I forgot to add I use the mini planner. For me I like the size to take places or keep at home.
This was a great video and very helpful thank you. I love the doodle of the day I have been doodling with you so thank you for teaching me how to doodle you are great.

Maybe use happy notes and and them at the end of each week or month to keep them with what you did during that time 😊
Awesome TFS 👍🏻
Only mildly related here but I'm listening to a Spotify station inspired by Hot Chelle Rae's Tonight Tonight and...it really is a mood booster! :)
Ashley Morton hahaha I used to love them
Great ideas. Can't wait to add some into my planner. :-):-):-):-):-)
I thought you were doodling a snow cone! 😂
