As much as I find it a relief to put every little to do list and aspect of the day in my planner, I do find it completely overwhelming at times and feel I need it open in front of me constantly, even if I'm in bed I'll have it open next to me so I can glance over to remind myself of what's yet to do. I'm not as overwhelmed in the sticker sense, and actually think the decorating keeps me sane. Whereas adding things that I need to do and appointments faster than I can cross them out sometimes makes me feel overwhelmed! Yes, one of the most first world problems I've had lately
Same, I have so many things to do in a day that to plan everything would just be counter productive. I'm trying to use post-it notes and stuff that I can use to cover the tasks but can still access it. So would write my tasks down then cover them up with something pretty. Then when I look at it, I just see pretty pictures and quotes; which represents the different sections. And if need to see what I need to do, I just lift it up or peel it off.
This is so me right now. I really find that I love the EC and spiral bound now. I love the beautiful 6 ring binders too but I tend to always go to the others. I'm really embarrassed over how much money I've spent in the last year lol.. but aren't we all?? Thank you for the reminder to RE-FOCUS on why I wanted to start planning. My husband thanks you too ha ha!!
I haven’t even received my planner yet and i am overwhelmed. It feels like pressure and all the stickers add up. This helped me to relax and see the bigger picture. Thank you so much! You are a life saver! 🙌🏾❤️
I agree about waiting to order stickers and spend tons of money on all of the cute things in the planner world. I waited for like 4 months and I had literally everything figured out before I bought anything, it really did save me money! It was really hard to wait but it was worth it!!
I love that your making these nontypical Planner 101 videos! I'm in college right now and for my final project in a Microsoft PowerPoint class I was taking, I put together a college edition planner 101 and your videos really helped me in making the right points for people who are totally new to the crazy lol My final slide said, in WordArt, that you don't have to buy everything you see on Etsy. And then I surrounded it with pictures of huge washi collections and hauls lol Mostly my own ;) My teacher, luckily, already knows of my planner obsession because I had her for another class where I gave a presentation on the History of the Planner. Lol.
Thank you! I am just beginning, and yes, I was totally overwhelmed when I got my planner this week. I'm starting to figure it out, and these types of videos are so helpful!
It is like you made this video for me lol. My planner was delivered last Saturday. Did you know Etsy won't let you put over 99 items in your cart at one time? I do haha. I agree with what you said completely. I want it all but breaking down my life and seeing what categories I would actually use. Thanks for the video!
+Beautify Your Life I found that out recently too - about Etsy's 99 items in the cart. My favorites list is ridiculous! My planner should arrive this week for the new year!
This video was very helpful! When I got my planner I went crazy with washi and stickers. I haven't used half the washi that I bought and I have a bunch of stickers that will take me forever to get through. So thank you Kayla!
Thank you so much for this video. I am totally new to planning/planner decorating. I have kept a basic planner for many years. I became interested decorating my planner and using it to organize more things besides work and important dates regarding my children's school. Your video has really helped to narrow my focus and figure out how to move forward. It has been overwhelming! I searched planner stickers on Etsy and got over 100K hits!
decorating my planner us my reward for planning. my biggest struggle is finding stickers that fit my planner as most are sized for the Erin Condrin. also I haven't been able to find a planner that goes with my needs. I know what I want, but can't find it. I think I'm going to have to make my own.
This really helped me. I've been feeing like I have so many stickers, but nothing I have was working for me. I sat down this morning and broke it down like you said, even into sub categories of what I'd add in the bigger categories. Now I'm browsing etsy for what will work, purging my stickers, and feeling a bit better lol. THANKS!
Wish I saw this video at the beginning of my planning journey. I bought a ton of stickers without really knowing what purpose they would serve. My planning system has been evolving constantly and have way more stickers than I need. I am reverting back to more of a simplistic planning style now so at least my stickers can last me awhile without spending more $$$
+callmecristal Being newbie I still don't quiet have the vocabulary correct. I have heard a number of planner addicts using it and have been wondering where it came from.
It's alright.. Elle Fowler has been a youtuber for years.. when youtube wasn't even big yet she was making videos.. i've been watching her ever since she started.. i found out about the planner community from her about 6 months ago! Her Etsy shop is called GlamPlanner and when she plans she calls it Glam Planning so that's where that comes from! :D
It's funny , my biggest challenge now is finding the planner (s) that work for me! I jumped at the Erin Condren (thank you You Tube!!) Then saw others that I like even more! Oh well. Gotta wait a year now! Now, I slow down and watch more1 Thanks for the video. Very infromative.
I've been watching lots of planner videos. I can't do that many stickers. It is pretty but not for me. I love color coding (since we are a family of 6). My biggest problem has been finding the right planner. So far this year, I have had 5 planners and have 3 on the way. I am really loving my large Kikki K for our home planner and my small Kikki K to keep in my diaper bag with just the monthly calendars and note pages for doctors appointments. Love Plum Paper but the family planner was too much for me. Love the horizontal, but was not working as a home planner. Have a medium Kikki K, horizontal Erin Condrin and a Big Happy Planner on the way. Hoping to make one my meal planner.
I was very judgy when I first started watching this thinking "oh yeah, first world problems here" then all of a sudden I started thinking about it really and it was as if you were speaking only to me..... You are so right! The more pictures I see of other people's planners, the more stickers I order! It really is a black hole!
Great video! I'm not so much overwhelmed...more just unable to figure out how I want to organize my planner (esp. since I don't have an EC but a tools4wisdom planner). I like your suggestion of the 4 big things and planning around that. Definitely incorporating that into my planner world. Thank you!!!
I'm a new planner and one of the things that has me feeling overwhelmed is the need to buy stickers a month (or even sometimes close to two) months in advance because of the long turnaround time many etsy shops have. I just got my planner last week (ordered the day before Thanksgiving) and went nuts on etsy (of course) trying to foresee how I'd want to decorate it in January and February. Do more experienced planners keep some kind of list or schedule in advance for what kind of layout/design/stickers they want to use a few weeks ahead?
What if you have no life like me and still wanna decorate a planner? I sit here and shop and watch tutorials all day or sleep or listen to music, mainly 2 Pac.
I'm always overwhelmed because I have OCD and I HATE it and will give up and lay around bored all day depressed. I have 4 freakin planners and I'm using one as like a practice one to see what I like and what works for me but I have this ocd problem about writing in books and journals because if I make a mistake I wanna start all over, I can't use white out, I can't erase it and I"M NOT SCRATCHING it out. So PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.
Niki Reynolds Hopefully you see my reply. I have the same exact problem. I use daily pages so I can throw it out when I'm done. That way I don't keep seeing my "mistakes" all week long. If there's something important that I need to reference later, I write it on my monthly page so I can look back on it. Like if I went to a Dr appt today, but I'm ready to throw the page, I write it in the month section so I can have it written, but still throw todays page.
This video will be very useful for newbie planners.. Every newbie gets overwhelmed with wanting to buy stuff from every single sticker shop on etsy.. that's how we all figured out you can't have over 99 items in your cart at once.. lmao More experienced planners are fine.. they already got their grove.. hahahha
Thank you for this video! I just got my first Erin Condren Life Planner in the mail today. I never realized what the big deal with stickers was until I searched #ECLifePlanner on Instagram. Oh.My.Gosh! I was blown away!! I would have never even thought to do half of those things with stickers! Your video was very helpful and assisted me at starting out slow with all the stickers and craziness.
Also....sorry..........one more thing.............I am having a real problem...finding refills that I want for my personal Filofax....on Etsy they offer only the ones that I have to print myself....and I don't want that...........I look on Ebay and also Amazon.........I have even thought of buying a different type...that I can more easily find refill sheets............Ok thanks again...........

"And a significant other who is annoyed with you" is the story of my life since I got my first planner this month. lol
Thanks for this video. I am fairly new to glam planning, so this is good advice to hear.
+Organised Style it's just planning... glam planning is what Elle Fowler does.. lol

Great info..tfs
Promoted me to jump out of a few planner Facebook groups!

Well I'm straight forward so tell your boyfriend, other half, husband that you could be doing worse things.
