Hey Guys! I love functional planning! And today we are going over some functional planning tips. If you are looking for ways to make your planner more functional and get more done.
A tip to new planner babes: get a pack of the elastic headbands from the Dollar Tree to use as a band around your planner. You usually get abt 4/6 to a pack in all different colors!! So much more affordable....
Right! I also like that her videos aren't 45 minutes long, like other planners. Honestly, who wants to watch super long videos of people putting stickers in their planners?
I like how you've incorporated bullet journaling into your planner. I've always been interested in bullet journaling but I don't want to add another book in with all the other planners that I haven't used yet.
Love your planning style I think this is my style, as well. I like how your stickers add some color and style without turning your planner into wallpaper.😉
I have every intention of using my Happy Planners as Bullet Journals! I purchased inserts alongside the planners themselves. I love how pretty your planner looks while still being functional! I'm not into stickers and don't plan on using them, but it's nice to see someone who actually uses her planners for their intended function, not as art books.
I have top tab dividers like “Parking Lot” for long term actionable tasks divided into lists. I have “The Vault” which is in the back for important reference info (insurance, medical, logins, skincare products I like). I have “The Dump” for brain dumps and notes. I can’t just plan. I have to get it all out of my head and capture everything then move it to the right section and have everything together.
My hubby looks at me sideways when I use my planner, he's very techy and uses his phone, but I'm visual and love my planner, but I forget to bring mine most of the time.
Love this video! Thank you for making functional planning so cool! It's really nice to know that you don't have to crazy with stickers! I will keep this approach in all of my planners!
I always had that problem where I want to put a deadline on myself but I'm not sure exactly how long certain tasks are going to take. Using sticky notes is a very good idea.
Thanks for the great tips. I use my mini happy planner note pages to track different things like different fonts page, favorite bible verses, reusable grocery list, year in pixels, books read in 2020, when was the last time...,bills tracker, habit tracker and 10 questions to ask before planning.
Helpful. I keep buying planners because I like the way they look, but don’t address everything I need so they collect dust. Planning is definitely difficult for me.
Hello, Loved this video. I have picked up my planner and was determined to make it more functional. I combined my bullet journal and my happy planner together. I like the happy planner because I can insert things, I couldn't do that with the bullet journal. Also I use the line paper to write notes just as your video explains. Your video aligns with what I have implemented for the end of this year and for my next years of using my bullet journal/happy planner. Thanks,
New to your channel and I am loving all the ways you have shown to make planners more functional !!! i have multiple planners but I am trying to be more efficient with them next year. thanks again. looking forward to more content
I don’t know if my brain is fried or what but I bought a happy planner to start budgeting and I honestly don’t know where to start I’ve watched most of ur vids and still don’t know what to start with
Thank you for showing how you functional plan. I needed to see this. I haven't decided on a book bound, wire bound, or disc bound style yet. Each is a committment and I want a 1 and done for now. How stable are the discs? Do they pop out with normal wear and tear?
I just got some and as long as you have a hard front and back it’s pretty easy. I like it because I can shift the pages around and replace them if I botch it. I hate messy pages. If you’re happy to have everything in one spot then the spiral bound ones would be fine. For me I like to change things around and add pages. Depends on how much you want in your planner and how customised you want it. This vid has some great ideas for layouts. A warning though...planners are addictive. Lol. 😉
Yes I too was admiring your nails and long Thin fingers (jealous) however as a first time viewer and subscriber I thought it was too much and Would like to have seen less of the hands as it became very distracting. Not trying to offend you .

Just saw this one. Another fantastic video. I hope folks appreciate how hard you work to bring this material to is. Thx again.
Thank you!!
I hope that’s not weird but your hands are really beautiful. You have so long elegant fingers ☺️
Not weird at all! 🤗 Thank you!!
I came to say the same thing!! She should be a hand model lol!!
I'm so relieved someone else was thinking the same as me - lovely hands. :)
Agreed! Hand model status...
Yes, had me thinking that french tips are a thing again for 2020 :)
Happy to see someone that uses a planner to plan!

Planning is overrated
@@triciaalleyne2673 planning is life.
You're so soothing to listen to and LOVE that you love organizing as much as I do!

Love your planning style

Stealing this!

Ok, thank you for the tip on using the weather stickers!!
Yes!!! I love how you incorporated all the different systems to keep your system functional, that’s so cool!
The stencils would look nice on your notes pages ❤

Those holographic notes pages are giving me LIFE. Need to copy you! 😉💗

Your planner pales in comparison to your absolutely gorgeous, stunning, beautiful hands! Edit: and you speak beautifully, too!
pilotrtc yes, she should be a hands model.
I see a lot of people doing that bullet journal add on in the beginning of the planner... smart I will try it out.

She has really good videos on budgets. I would start with writing down your income and all of your debts that you owe, due dates and balances.
Your video have given me great ideas. Thanks im a new subbie.
Your nails are beautiful!
Thank you for these great tips.
I made my own elastic bands super easy
Whoaaa...! Pretty nails... :)
Great tip about the cover. I’ve never thought of that
Where did you get the social media tracker? I can’t find that one. Thanks!
Love your hand writing
I love the half sheets, but they are ridiculously expensive (I'm in Canada), so I think I'm going to make my own.
Yes! You could always take a sheet and cut it in half. I have done that as well!
Thank you for the tips and beautiful hands.
I just love your tips 👌

Michelle Crouch I’ve used a disc bound planner for 2 or 3 years now and the discs are stable. I’ve never had discs pop out.

They are super stable. I have never had an issue with the discs. 😄
I like this!!
