  • When I am feeling overwhelmed, I need a brain dump or master task list to transfer everything out of my brain and onto paper. I like to make categories in order to see what needs to be done more clearly. And I like to make it cute with lots of fun stickers, in order to motivate me! In this video I will do just that, in my Big Happy Planner, using the Houses and Trees Planything sticker book that was just re-released. PLUS I am flipping through the new Planything All You Need is Love sticker book!
    Both sticker books are available now, here (affiliate link):

    I just want to tell you how much I have appreciated your videos these past four months since I found you. I’m stuck home exhausted from weekly chemo and you are getting me through this time. Sometimes I watch three or four of your videos day, and sometimes I just watch all day long!! And amazingly I have not run out of videos to watch yet! Holy moly you must have hundreds. I especially enjoy watching you make spreads for your patrons. I get lost watching the videos and it takes my mind off of everything else while I watch to see what you’ll do. Thank you for all the work you do to put these out, especially when you’re going through such a tough time yourself. Wishing you the best with everything and with getting settled in your new place.

    I have been a list maker for a very long time, but I never thought to make categories! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m now retired and usually only make lists when we are going out of town or for family gatherings. I am new to planning. I started in June after receiving an unexpected medical diagnosis. I kept rehashing info from doctors and test results and was making myself crazy. I started using a planner to write down all of the info and it has been a huge help. I found you on RUclips when I was looking for ways to use my planner for “normal” things. You have very inspirational to me. You stay strong! You will get through your tough times, too!

    Hi Mary Ellen! Since I started following you, I found my creativity again! I’m a teacher and finding free time to scrapbook or paint is nearly impossible. Finding your channel showed me I can be creative AND productive AND work on my mental health. It’s the outlet I never expected to find. Your so talented, and thank you for always being real and vulnerable even when it’s really deep. Even though we’ve never met, you feel like family. I’m in my mid 20’s and becoming an adult is something else. When you talk about your hardships and experiences in life, I feel like I learn a new perspective about something in my own life. I wouldn’t have found me again without you! So thank you for everything you do! ❤

    I am 100% a to do list person. I relate so much with just feeling better after getting it on paper since it’s one less thing for my brain to be focusing on. When I do a brain dump to do list I gently categorize into house chores, school work, important random items and errands. But I also am a post it note queen and have all my classes assigned a certain color and a general color for little to do lists. Definitely want to try decorating my lists sometime though. I’ve finally started decorating my planner (used to be purely functional) and it is bringing me so much joy. I absolutely love the trees and houses book and would love to be entered in the drawing.

I'm almost 40 and have been rediscovering my creativity lately in an attempt to organize the chaos in my life and bring myself some happiness. I will often put your videos on in the background, even if I'm not working in my planner. You have such a calm and peaceful voice which is so unlike most of the videos I see anymore. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon your channel in a sea of obnoxious loud mouths. Please keep doing what you're doing. Whether you believe it or not, you are helping people (like me)!

    Hi! I love this idea! I am usually a list maker and a planner however my life got crazier and I stopped… consequently I never know what I should be doing or where I should be! I love David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodology which creates lists in relation to where you are or what you have access to and your Master Task List follows that idea. I LOVE your creative spin to add JOY to a seemingly daunting task of creating the master list to begin with then enjoying checking it off by doing the stuff on the list. THANK YOU so much! I have a ton of sticker books that I usually struggle with using because I’ve never really been able to add them without destroying the actual function of the planning pages. I CAN DO THIS! I also love those sticker books so will enjoying yet even more stickers to my growing collection but now… I have hope and anticipation to combine fun with function! Have a great day! 🙂

    I just recently came across your videos and switched over to a happy planner system last month. My husband teases that I've joined a cult! But seriously, having ADHD and trying to find the perfect scheduling planner is beyond difficult. I won't say my life has miraculously changed, but HP and your videos have done the one thing my other planners never could: keep me engaged and kept me going back time and again to use my planner.
    Sorry you are dealing with life issues but with you are being very adult and self-aware. I feel like many people just rush into things without thinking. The trick is to not over-think it! (Easier said then done, I know!)
    So Mary Ellen, you aren't talking our ears off, it's like hearing from an old friend (even though I've only known you for a month or so!) By the way, when you order your coffee or whatever, you can ask for less or 1/2 syrup. That will make your drinks less sweet. ( you mentioned this in a video I watched recently).
    Finally, I very much wanted to sign up for your giveaway, but I've changed my mind. If I win, I'd love for it to go to MB Dutton (the lady fighting cancer). Much love to all! 💜

    I'm sitting here at my desk with so much to do and decided I needed some company while I try to sort out the 74 things I must get done within the next three days. I open up youtube, and there you are with the idea of decorating your To Do list. Bam. There you have it. Just what I needed. I only have 2 sticker books to my name, so instead of using stickers I have used some colored markers to make boxes and colored sticky dots for the checklists, and Ta Daaaaaa: a To Do list that is so much more pleasing to the eye. Thank you so much for making me feel like I am not the only one who is overwhelmed. It's good to know there are others out there who are just Smashing It by getting the most important things of the day done. Whether you think so or not right now, you are a rock star and I appreciate what you do to help others.

    I decorate my passion planner daily which I have a big to do/to done list and it just makes me happy to see stickers all over my page when I use it. Also mildliners to separate out items! Thanks for the chance!

    I’m a teacher and cheer coach with six preps and an active student organization, AND an active 10-year-old-boy. I help with children’s ministry and help coach his basketball team. If I don’t brain dump I will NEVER stay above water. Your list is soooooo cute, and I’m inspired. Thank you!!!

    My OCD went into hypermode thinking you were going to do this with the paper upside down. SOOOOO glad you turned it right side up. YAY!!!
    I often categorize them which is how I use a vertical weekly lay out. I have never done them as beautifully as your --- yet! Thank you for the inspiration.

    I’m such a list person and it varies on the task at hand. I was just making a Thanksgiving Timeline List, which is to break down the tasks I have to do the few days leading up to Turkey Day! I also do my cleaning to do lists which I break down per room. And if I have a lot going on I will do a daily task to do list. I also make “don’t forget” lists (to make sure I bring everything with me if I’m going to an event like a holiday party, picnic and I’m bringing food, etc) and of course packing lists.
    I don’t decorate my lists but I do make sure they’re written very neatly. I draw my own little square check off books before each task and it always feels good to see the checks on completed tasks.
    Thanks for the great inspiration on doing a cute to do list!

    Thanks for the great ideas for a master list. I really need to write one to help me not be so overwhelmed also. I always wrote lists and usually separated by categories but never decorated. I think I will do that next time. In the past i just used a boring desk calendar (not a decorative planner) and i found it helpful to look over my master list and pick out the things I planned to do that week and either assign them to a specific day or list on the side for anytime during that week. It helped me not to be overwhelmed by just looking at a small to do list vs everything that needs to get done. But a big master list really helped me to get organized. I stopped doing that when I switched to only using my phone (and all the scraps I jotted lists on). After losing my entire phone calendar last year, I found decorative paper planning and it has helped me so much to be productive and help with my anxiety. Thanks for all your videos and would love to get the sticker book.😊

    I didn't think to categorize my to-dos/brain dumps! I just make a big long list and rope my kiddos into helping my cross the items off. I am going to try to categorize it next time I make one! Thanks for the inspiration. I know it has been a rough year for you, but you are such an inspiration for overcoming allllllll of the obstacles that are thrown in your way ❤️❤️

    I would love to be part of this giveaway! I have been following your videos for quite some time. I am a looooong time planner - started before planning was popular but I get so much out of your videos. They are inspirational to the new, intermediate and old time planners. My husband and I have 6 biological adult children and were about as close as you can get to empty nest when we were asked to foster a newborn for the weekend. That "weekend" was 6 years ago and that sweet baby never left our home. We have adopted him and he is the biggest blessing ever! I am homeschooling him now (he's in 1rst grade) and it has made planning even more essential. I am all in with to do lists and love how you have them broken down into categories. Thanks for all of you great videos! They are very much appreciated!

    I always enjoy watching your videos. You have helped keep me inspired so many times. My grandma and my step mom (both were very close and dear to me) passed away within a year of each other. I have really struggled with it. Thank you for being open about your struggles and life. It's nice to know that I am not alone in the healing process and all of us struggle sometimes.

    I’m 40 yo and have undiagnosed adhd, my best life was when I used a planner (20 years ago) , but also made feel a little freacky around others because my life was all on paper and for others that was weird, funny or whatever. I stopped doing it and have lived a very unorganized messy life since. I felt subconsciously silly wanting to go back to it, but now I see I’m not the only one! And decorating my planner could actually be a healthy thing to do! While I wait for my diagnosis, I’m looking for my new planner, even though I can’t decide yet (making decisions 😅) this channelhas been definitely helpful, educational and fun to watch. Thank you!

    I just did that to myself the other week. I had some filing of important documents to do which I absolutely dread (filing) and laundry so I told myself the only way I could journal and play with my stickers was if I get those two tasks done! It felt so good to finally complete them.

    Your to do list is a good way to remember the tasks you need to accomplish. By categorizing it you can concentrate your efforts when you're in that mode. Thanks for the inspiration. Give Bumble a hug when you are feeling sad. He will brighten your mood. Have a good day.🌺
