I was very Sceptical last year on what a change i could make with this planner . I had my first year with this planner last year i was a coffee addict with minimal exercise and spent most my time on my business. I was very close to getting burnt out. I changed my habits and this planner helped me do it I now drink only 2 cups of coffee daily which going from 5 cups is a big win. I sleep better and focus my energy on my shop i also can schedule in rest and relaxation time im more focused and live better for it I cant recommend these planners enough im sorry to spam a lot on this video Starla but i just really wanted to amplify your words. I've just ordered my second year and i am very positive for the future Keep going everyone progress is a one way street we just keep going. 😃
I never thought about adding the little thing… laundry, dishes, etc. that is great for the days I feel like it sucked😅You have actually made me excited to plan, something I need to work on. I really don’t know how I would grow without the 2 of you. I know I am always thanking you but know I am so grateful.
Always document those little things. I call them "auto-pilot" tasks. They are the tasks we do naturally without thinking, but because we seldom put weight on those tasks, we also forget how much time we dedicate to them. We designate every single Sunday to cleaning and planning the following week. But anything else that we accomplish throughout the week gets added to the planner, even if just for the sake of immediately checking it off the list. It helps with time prioritization as well as your mental health because you feel significantly more accomplished!
There are some days, when it’s been a rough week or what have you, that I only list the things I got done/did. I had a 4yr old and a 4mo old at the time. Every snack/diaper change/feeding got marked down and that really helped me see what all I actually did in a typical day. I have three now with one on the way, and a puppy 😅. So I still do this on occasion.
Great video. Would you consider doing one of your Sunday process for filling out your planner each week? You kind of touched on it, and I know it will be highly personalized to you and your goals, but it would be helpful to see some of the creative process behind it.
I tried one last year on your recommendation & LOVED it! I got the teal color this year- weekly reflections made a HUGE difference! Separating the personal & biz to do lists was HUGE too- highly recommend!!
They definitely do! I thought it was a waste of time when I purchased my first planner, but looking back, I realize that I accomplished a LOT of my goals, including a few of my "50 Dreams". There is power in writing those dreams!
This is my 4th year in the LP weekly. I love it. I don't understand why there aren't more videos. This year I tipped in vellum dashboards. I am a functional planner who enjoys a little bit I'd decor. I use the dotted pages as well. It's great!
I used to use the Erin Condren Life Planners, but I switched the Legend Planner last year. I got the purple one last year, and used it about 50% of the time, but I was really bad about all the extras! It was mainly just for the appointments to keep them straight. This year's Legend Planner is the Teal with Gold Emboss, and I plan on utilizing it to get better organized overall. I like the idea of listing accomplishments-no matter how small because we do tend to overlook those!
Love the Legend Planner! I also switched colors this year. 2023 was purple. 2024 is teal with gold embossing. The pie charts are telling --- but I now know what areas I've been neglecting, and that helps me frame goals for 2024. Creating a doable work-life balance is never easy, but the Legend planner is a huge help.
Yeah, you really get a perspective on your accountability when it comes time to fill out the pie chart. My "fitness" section was WAY too low each month last year. Time to kick butt!
I am so thankful for this video and the timing. I bought a gray with gold planner that arrived 2 days ago. This weekend, I will be filling it out. Thank you for what you do!
I'm super stoked to have ordered 3 different planners to organize goals and finance (personal & biz) Have 'fun stickers & markers' on my list to pick up. Thank you for y'alls inspiration. NOW I need the self-control to keep the motivation going. *goals*
Love this! I had an Amazon gift card that I had been debating on how to use. My legend planner will be arriving tomorrow (I chose the green and gold one)! My goal this year is to really spend some quality time on my new business, and I think this will really help (and it looks like fun). So excited to start, and I've already set up reminders for myself to sit down and use it. 💚🎉
Excellent video and thanks for sharing your experiences AND struggles with the process of planning! Real life stuff is always an inspiration to others. 😉
I remember you were talking about this planner before. I am not organised person and I decided to give it a try. Got hot pink colour, so I can’t miss it on my messy table lol
You totally need to be an affiliate! I just got mine today (because of you), and I'm a bit excited. I like Trello for my shop, but I'm old school, and I like things written down. And I've tried to journal in the past, but I never really got into it. This planner looks like a great fit for me as it has business and personal stuff all in one. But only time will tell.... ;-). BTW...I got the Dated Weekly Planner in Rose Gold. It's not really "my" color, but my Shop is Rosati (Rose-ah-tea) Handmade and one of my brand colors is a light terra cotta, so I thought the rose gold would fit my personality and brand. Win-win! 🙌🏻
Goodreads is great for readers. It keeps track of books you have read and what you want to read, and you can set goals for how many you want to read etc. You can also use it to inventory books you own. I think I like that better than writing it down by hand because I feel daunted at the idea of having to go back through multiple planners to find a certain book. Plus of course you can review books and see what your friends are reading and enjoying. Not affiliated in any way, I just enjoy it. :)
I’ve never seen this planner before and I love it! I’m a bullet journal user, but I like some of the spreads you showed today. I might have to replicate them in my bullet journal.
You could totally replicate the same ideas for a general bullet journal!!! I considered doing it this year but I figured it'd save time to have everything already set up for me.
I personally love Erin Condren Life Planners, mainly because it's spiral bound. But honestly, I am planning on using the beginning reflection pages from the Legend Planner and adding it to mine so that I can have that from this year moving forward. I honestly think it would be amazing to reflect then and especially at the end of each month/year. Thank you so much for this because I never knew the planner had that.
I totally lit up when I saw the covers of your planners! I had found an inexpensive planner I liked - blank dates, plenty of space, references to incoming/outgoing funds, water consumption, etc - but it doesn’t have enough pages (I’d need 2-3 books for the year) and the covers are black. I’m going to check out the ones you and Marc are using. Feels like every time I find one I like, I can’t get another one like it the following year 🙄😮💨🤦🏾♀️ Thanks for posting this. Happy New Year, y’all! 🎉❤️
THANKS for the recommendation! I just ordered one in TEAL (thanks to my company for the Amazon gift card that helped fund this order!) Unfortunately I couldn't use your link as I'm in Canada. I should get in on Friday and I look forward to MY unboxing! Have a wonderful day.
Always helpful you guys, thank you. And sometimes I don't know how to use a planner, so it's good to see how others use them. My biggest issue will be committing to writing it in ink, not pencil. Commit damn you 😂
How profitable are selling notebooks on Etsy? I uploaded a beautiful photo I took of a sunset to a notebook on Printify and put it in my shop but took it down today because I’m unsure if people buy $15 notebooks with beautiful photos on the front and back. Like the photo is legit beautiful and looks like something I’ve seen on fancy notebook covers, but idk if people would spend $15 and $3.90 shipping
How about a video on severe hooded eyes. Your hood sits almost on your upper lashes / to the point that you only see a very tiny section of your eyelid, either on the inner corner or outer corner
I haven't used a planner in decades. Just got out of the habit, I guess. And I am someone who thrives on structure. Maybe that's why my life is so disorganized! 🤷♀️😂
During the live streams, the mirrored view isn't that bad but in this video, you were showing a lot of text on screen and it was quite jarring as it was backwards.
I know. That's why I recorded all of the planner videos separately where i flipped through specific pages of the book. We had a lot of issues recording this video so unfortunately there was no way to fix it.

I purchased this planner because of your recommendation, and I absolutely love it!!
That's absolutely awesome! What color did you get?
@@StarlaMoore I went with Periwinkle!
I think that will be my color next year because I'm already regretting not getting it!
Excellent video and thanks for sharing your experiences AND struggles with the process of planning! Real life stuff is always an inspiration to others. 😉
I love Sunday with my planner too! I have a Sunday Basket and work through it to keep me on a routine.
Rereading books counts! Especially business books. Every time I do a reread I learn something new. ;)
I always document re-reads! Especially since my "re-reads" are typically in the form of a LONG series. LOL!
Thank you so much for your video. This is a bright and upbeat video.
I ordered a planner today and can't wait to start using it! Thank you for sharing the video. :)
You are so welcome!
I remember you were talking about this planner before. I am not organised person and I decided to give it a try. Got hot pink colour, so I can’t miss it on my messy table lol
That was Marc's logic too! He said the black planner was too hard to see on his dark desk so he kept forgetting to use it. lol!

I'm an author and have a Goodreads account too! I just like to write thigs on paper because I'm way more likely to look at it. :)

I got the yellow one! I went pro because I like the larger format. It just came in a few minutes ago ❤
Thank you for this! I ordered the purple for 2025. 🙂
I got the black on black and it arrives tomorrow. Super excited. Love planners but struggle to stay dedicated to using them :)
I got the red one! I ordered a white one with gold for my sister in HI :) . Thanks, Starla! Y'all rock!!!
I love the white and gold! It's probably been my favorite so far.

I hope they help! I love the idea of having a "color" for every year!
OMgGI love my planners!!! Plural!!! Going to check this one out Starla, sounds very very cool! Happy New Years to two!!!
Happy new year!!
THANKS for the recommendation! I just ordered one in TEAL (thanks to my company for the Amazon gift card that helped fund this order!) Unfortunately I couldn't use your link as I'm in Canada. I should get in on Friday and I look forward to MY unboxing! Have a wonderful day.
The links I posted aren't affiliate links so it's no biggie! I hope you absolutely love it!
Always helpful you guys, thank you. And sometimes I don't know how to use a planner, so it's good to see how others use them. My biggest issue will be committing to writing it in ink, not pencil. Commit damn you 😂
i got the hot pink on your recommendation and love it thank you ❤
I got the rose gold. it is so pretty.
Ha! I just got mine - White.
I need me one of this lol 😂
Sorry Starla but I just noticed your husband’s hair and I think he looks cute 😊
I can definitely tell you're a business woman; you have me thinking that I need this planner, and I hate using planners.
I know, right? These Legend Planner people should totally be cutting me a check for all the sales I probably make them. 😂
I need one just for things I should be doing rather then procrastinating...
Does this planner lay out flat?

They should definitely make you an affiliate, I bought one for this year from you recommending it last year lol
oh and mine is rose gold
I can't believe you cane to great wolf lodge and we didn't meet for coffee 😱
We went to the one in Mason, Ohio.
How about a video on severe hooded eyes. Your hood sits almost on your upper lashes / to the point that you only see a very tiny section of your eyelid, either on the inner corner or outer corner
I'm not sure how my eyes would be relevant to my teaching.
I haven't used a planner in decades. Just got out of the habit, I guess. And I am someone who thrives on structure. Maybe that's why my life is so disorganized! 🤷♀️😂
I'm starting a spiritual store related to iscon can I start it from india
"Focused on growth rather than development, that's ok some years" - congrats Staria you've got yourself a grade A simp.
No, I have a good husband. Might want to Google the definition of the word "simp" and reassess.
During the live streams, the mirrored view isn't that bad but in this video, you were showing a lot of text on screen and it was quite jarring as it was backwards.
I know. That's why I recorded all of the planner videos separately where i flipped through specific pages of the book. We had a lot of issues recording this video so unfortunately there was no way to fix it.
The lack of funky lowfi beat was 🎉😅
Dancing in silence is what I do. lol!!!

Thank you so much for your video. This is a bright and upbeat video.
