So I am a functional planner! Your spreadsheet are relaxing to me and sooths my brain! No stickers or washi, color coded. Yes!

As someone with ADHD this video is wayyyyy too long and wayyyyy too much talking. We need short and sweet. I kept fast forwarding and still on the same topic. Zoomed through the thing and got soooo bored. ADHD folks have no patients for long videos that say nothing. Sorry.

I love the way that you talk. It reminds me so much of those moments when I'm trying to explain something but then I go on a crazy roundabout with the details and going through the branches (sorry if it sounds weird, English is not my 1st language!🙏). I haven't been formerly diagnosed yet, but I'm pretty sure I have ADHD or some form of neurodivergence, because since last year I started to treat myself and see life supposing I have it, and everything has made so much sense since then and I am not blaming myself for every little mistake I make. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that a lot of the times when someone on the internet say they have ADHD, it feels more like a statement than something you can perceive, and this time with your video I guess it kinda made me feel seen. Sorry for the long paragraph😅 TLDR: feels nice to see raw ADHD in the wilds!☺ Really enjoyed the content, will be subscribing!👍 Greetings from Spain🙋‍♀

I love that doggo talk. So sweet.

This video spoke by language. I went through the pretty planner stage. Oh my gosh I can't. Totally functional like you. I need lists.

I fell in the creative planner trap for years and settled on a purely functional setup for 2024; I have never been so successful with it. I only took two small breaks from recording things in my planner, once due to a bad bout of depression and another time because of being too busy during the school semester. I missed way less appointments using the Jibun Techo with the week-in-view. I want to develop a journaling habit with some creative stuff thrown in, but I have always struggled to get the stuff that is in my head out on paper. Planning at least lets me keep a record of what I did so I can reflect, and I love capturing the headlines in life in the Life Book that is part of the starter kit in the Jibun Techo. In the past I've kept a similar planner to yours where it's just a running central to-do list; I didn't even use a planner, I just used the Read. Write. Remember. At a Glance notebooks that have a tiny calendar on the pages. That notebook was my lifeline while I was working a job with a lot of employees and open tasks; I was inseparable from that notebook. The best thing about ringbound or, in my case, that notebook I used that was spiral bound, is that you can easily flip it to only the page you need to focus on so you aren't distracting yourself with days before and after. You're definitely on the right track, and you have renewed my enthusiasm for functional planning, even if it's ugly. We ADHDers have to stop fighting the way our brain works and find ways to work with it instead!

The going off on a tangent is defs not just you. I feel seen. Thank you for this practical video. You've shared a lot of gems. I use Habitica, a gamified productivity app and have found it very fun. It turns mundane tasks into a game and you can get rewards from completing tasks. I found that paper planning made me feel guilty if I didn't finish everything on the planner and I would beat myself up. I do use a 'word vomit' system similar to you to capture the tasks but then put them on Habitica to complete. Really impressed at your journal though

Woman, you're not more crazy than me. I started my planner 5 years ago with the list of lists to make!

To me bullet journaling has one major barrier to entry: How to start

I cracked up at your description of getting distracted by the outline of a sticker. So can relate here… I’ll be looking at one thing and end up looking at some obscure fascinating thing on the other side of the world.

You sound like the version of me that I am hiding from everyone

Watching this, I’m starting to wonder if I have adhd lol I relate entirely too well.

The link doesn't work!

I also have adhd and struggled keeping planners at all for longer than a few weeks UNTIL I got a (vertical layout) happy planner. I’ve used my planner consistently for 2 years, give or take a week occasionally when life gets too crazy.

I am going to share something with you that somebody told me(I forget who jaja) the mind is not an agenda, that is not its function. If you leave something in your mind, you will try not to forget it and you can't focus on something else because you can't have two things in your mind" If it is not written, it does not exist.

I’m at a point right now where I’m so stressed and I feel like I need to micro manage my time. That even if I do it just for the day that I’ll get more done. And there never seems to be enough time.

❤ how do I get it!!!

Hi all! I am beyond grateful and so surprised that this video become so popular! As this video is almost two years old now, please keep comments kind as I've changed and learned a lot since this video was made. You don't need to be snarky in the comments. Thank you to those who have been so lovely and shared your experiences with ADHD, and I hope to continue to add value for those of us who struggle to plan our chaos! 🫶

I went to the website, but it seems like it’s not for sale or I’m not sure??

I do the same with a spreadsheet.

This is useful thanks🙏🏽 I was laughing all the way through because your rambling voice sounds like my rambling brain & I almost had to shut this off. Adhd sucks. Subbed. 👍🏽

Dogs ❤

bruh at least script your videos, it's really unbearable to listen to you. if you have adhd, address it in your video making???

I had little "Quarterly Top 10" stickynotes, which had 11 lines on them. Those were great! I need to get back to that.

Here! 😊 Love the system…very functional. Right up my alley. The bookmark lists, such a neat and cute idea.

Do you sell inserts of this paper for a big happy planner

How can I purchase a planner like this? 😍

I cannot tell you how understood I felt watching this (well, listening to get me through my kitchen tasks) video! From the points you made about how planning for ADHDers is different for neurotypicals to even you just going off on tangents, lol. I felt seen

This makes so much sense to me. I’ve been trying to explain why I like the paper planning over digital to my husband because he didn’t understand it

I'm not sure what you mean here by functional plan, it wasn't what I think it was. This looks more like just a 'to do' list. But i like that you remind us that those fancy stickers are not impt.

The stickers and the pretty things add the novelty that my adhd needs to actually use the damn thing. There is a balance.

👏🏽Thank you Thank you, for this... I have been struggling for years to try n achieve those pretty instagram planners, not realising why I couldn't stick to it, but you have summed up why I really need to do.

Thanks for the great video!

I have adhd too, I really want to watch through this video because I’m half way through already and it seems really helpful so far, but also the way you get distracted in your speech makes it really hard to follow😂 and I 100% understand because again I have adhd too lol

somehow this was confusing!

It’s funny you mention your finger because I actually broke my finger when my dogs leash got wrapped around it, and he took off.

You Tell about your boyfriend and and and... distrackting..

I can tell that you've got ADHD just from the way u talk😂

So, im not adhd (at least ive never been diagnosed if I am, I've often wondered if I might be) but I'm the same way, everything you said in this video really resonates with me, initially when I started planning i wanted to do the whole decoration thing (cuz I'm also highly artistic) but I found, very early on, that stickers and art in my planner was not helpful to me in any way, I like my planner to strictly be my pen and some highlighters where needed, all the decoration feels too cutesy at this point in my life (almost 40) too, that's not my main reason for not doing it but I'd be lying if I said it didn't play a role, but for me, my planner is where all my tasks and needs, tracking and productive thoughts goes, not my art and when i did try combining them i found they were too distracting, too much going on on the page and id forget to do stuff or miss things cuz i just somehow didnt SEE IT on the page! Also, like you, digital planning just doesn't hit home for me either, I dont even know that I can detail why, yes I love paper and pens and leather covers, but it's not like I couldnt have those things for other stuff if I did planning digitally, so... I don't know, I think the temporary nature of digital, how easily you can just delete a task and pretend you never added it to the day in the first place? The fact that it's not all just there on a page but digital files somewhere in the ethernet... I don't know, see what I mean, I cant even put my finger on what it is about it I don't like but I just know I don't and ive tried to before, I'll share stuff with my husband in keep notes but that's always gunna also be something concretely written down in my bullet journal too. I'm just not a fan of the whole digital planning thing. And what do you do the following year with digital? Do all those digital pages just get deleted or saved as a file? Ugh, I dont like it. 😂

Oh yeah I am realizing this more now, if you don't have a belief or label, than what? Than you finally let go of the baggage that was put on you, to control you. How do you feel if you don't believe and just step into know - ing, be - ing, do - ing. ❤

Wow, You are so right, I did not use any stickers in my planner last year/this year, i only highlighted and I actually used it for the entire year! I normally will get a new one, lol. I do have a separate journal for my tarot and journaling. This year I want to do my journaling and my daily planner in one. Love the feedback from this video. Looking forward to 2025. I will be trying out the Wonderland222 All in One planner. We will see, lol. I am a crafty person too, have to have an outlet.

after watching tons of videos on stalogy, your video is the only one that gave me the courage to purchase the size that i like, not the size that i "supposed to" like. thank you so much for the video!

I don’t have ADHD but I like to decorate but it has to be minimal. It gets distracting and overwhelming if it’s too much. Thanks for sharing.

Adhd ers are so much loved. Why so?

Seeing all the comments on tour scatteredness and here i am feeling its normal and you just make so much sense to me. Im often called random but i feel like others just havent followed the thread of thought in my mind

Adhd all well and good, sometimes, you just need more people....

this is SO relatable!!!

I love this video and would love an updated version of this. It's just nice to know others think the same way I do. <3

It’s a similar process for me. Can’t waste time on prettiness or I only focus on the pretty and not the use. I found I can not have a physical planner. Writing in it is actually too much effort for if I’m trying to add something really quick last minute. I usually have to force myself to add something to my list the moment I think about it or I will put it off for later or never do it. That’s why I can’t do notebooks. I find the most effective thing for me is actually the Notion App. I downloaded a premade template and I can add tasks to my to do list or events on my schedule on my phone in one two clicks and then change it later, no erasing no white out and it will always remain pretty enough for me to feed me dopamine. I literally have no excuse not to add something which means it’s harder for me to forget stuff.
