Do it!!! It's fun, it makes me feel like I am doing things. (whether I am actually doing those things may be up for debate) and it's a conversation starter. I feel like it is my second brain!
For anyone who wants to use a EC planner but doesnt want to support the brand michaels has a brand called recollections that is like a dupe. I just bought a big hourly. Its beautiful and I love it.
@@SoAnxious718 its pretty long to explain but if you look up the hashtag erincondrencancelled on instagram you should be able to find posts of what happened. Or google erin condren blm and an article should pop up.
I read some articles about Erin Condren, and I still don't see why everybody's up in arms. Maybe the kids didn't follow through with the mask and social distancing, and yes the hoola hoop remark was ridiculous but she didn't say anything that I saw against black lives matter. I'm confused.
I was thinking the last couple of days that I really need an hourly planner but love the Happy Planner. I didn’t realize they had hourly planners. I’m so glad I stumbled on your videos. I like how you explain your planning method.
I just went and got a Big Happy teacher planner too for my business projects. Thanks for making this all make sense. I like how you're focused on functionality and not just decor
I love your visual thinking in the the book planer. I teach my students to take notes similarly and it is exciting to me to see an adult using it with reading and growing. I am glad to have found your channel.
Loved the video! I'm a teacher, so I keep a digital planner for school, but then I have two separate planners for my life and it helps to see how you get organized. Thank you!
Making notes about what you actually want to put in your planner and “planning” your planner sections before putting them together is absolutely brilliant. I’m pretty disgusted with myself for never having thought of that before! Lol. I am going to do that TODAY!!
Thank you for this video. While watching, I had to admit to myself that I am not organized when it comes to my business. After watching I have a better understanding to why it is important to multiple planners. I had already ordered my catch all planner but I went this morning to purchase a planner for my content & business.
I could not help but to subscribe. I've been looking for a way to organize several binders and it never occurred to me to combine them and to use tabs to distinguish them. Thank you so much for sharing.
I just ordered a Plum Paper planner and journal- I ordered a small journal for the exact same reason, to use as a pensive brain dump that I can write anything down in, so I think it’s funny that I came across this video now!
Thankyou soo much for sharing your system. I too am looking into getting a happy planner. I've always been content with my phone, but it might be more useful as you do. Your neatness of your handwriting, use if stickers, whole set up is amazing. (Mines will never look as good)
New sub! I enjoy your voice, your explanations, and your set up. I just switched from HP to she who shall not be named. However, I will be using the products I already bought and not supporting anymore. I’ve just made my own covers. I’ll be switching back, but nobody see’s my planners so I’m covered. Tfs!
Can we see your vertical home planner? I watched your home planner in the dashboard layout but I would love to see a vertical! I am so happy I found your videos. I love them!
I think I just fell in love! I am hooked on your videos and love seeing how you setup your planner using different versions. I use The Happy Planner as well but never thought about using different versions for different areas of my life. Might have to use a similar setup! Thank you so much for sharing!
#INSPIRED what an incredible and functional way to plan. I am very new to planning about a week in and I was immediately overwhelmed trying to put everything in one section. You have given me hope for a way to stay organized for the multiple areas of my life that need planning. I will attempt to build planning habit between now and end of year. If I do well, in January my gift to myself will be coming back to this video to setup a functional big planner. Thank you
Excellentley explained and thoughtful breakdown of what you use and why you use it. I appreciate your elaboration on your planners, you brought up some good points and helped me reconsider some layouts to bettter suit my needs and style. Please continue doing a wonderful job on your channel.
I don’t use the EC planner but I do still use the notebook and some of her accessories like the stickers, covers and folio. I had an order coming in at the beginning of June before this stuff started and couldn’t cancel it so because I paid for the accessories I will use them. I see that you are using the planner case and that’s the type of accessories that I use from her as well.
I don't think I've ever found another planner babe with a planner style/system SO similar to mine! haha. You're one of my favourite youtubers Alaina, keep up the great content!
Whoa, I stumbled across your channel probably two days ago, but I already love it! I hadn't heard of the Erin Condren controversy, mainly because I'm not involved in the social media aspect of planning and because I've always stuck with MAMBI products and a little bit of Michael's Recollection, so I just looked it up and yikes. I am now choosing to stay away from EC. Hopefully she can learn from this.
I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it!!! I’m binge watching all of your videos now and they all have such a valuable information with just a great presentation. Thank you so much!!!😊💕🙏🤗
Thank you for your examples of planners. I see why I have all these notebooks and feel scattered. Especially the catch-all notebook on top. I just subscribe to you.
This is impressive. I have gleaned so much inspiration from your very helpful videos. I'm delighted to have discovered you. Thank you for your substantive and sane content.
You almost had me running back to happy planner. I've been considering a discbound set-up for rest of 2020 or 2021. I've been using A5 ring bound system and so far it's been good, but i have to admit there's nothing like just plucking the paper out the planner when you need to lol
Absolutely loved this set up! I have a a bunch of planners and notebooks to keep track of business social etc but so overwhelming ! This makes sense ! I am tempted to try the happy planner now.
I like you. I like the way your mind works, reminds me of me. Another video I was watching of yours I like when you said you don't have to be like everyone else with the busy planners and stickers etc, start with you. I am definitely going to continue to follow you. I also love the way that you are Franken planning this planner, I am only 8:49 in and I am glued to the screen....lol. I also like the labeled tabs that you inserted. Be on the lookout for me to subscribe to your sticker store as well. Blessings to you!!!
Love your videos. I fairly new to the planner community and I have started following a few of the planner influences. You came up on my feed I am happy I found you. I heard about the EC situation and I am really disappointed. I just bought a couple of planners her planners ( I even bought a notebook as a birthday gift for a friend) well, I am done giving her my money. I have a TUL notebook that I use for work and I bought another TUL on clearance that I am planning to use as my budget planner. Your video gave me some great ideas and I went today and bought a BIG monthly happy planner and the book happy planner. I got them from Michael's, they are having a 40% off sale on planners. I am going to copy your "frankenplanning" and combine my Tul with my happy planner for my budget planner. I currently use an old spiral notebook to track my finances. I am ready to step it up a bit. I want to track my finances and also keep track of my financial goals. I am going to use the Book planner to track the books I have been reading/listening to and also for quotes. I love quotes as well. One of my favorite quotes is "The Universe Agrees With a Made Up Mind"
Excellent video - thanks for sharing; I have a collection of Happy Planner pages that I never used - thinking I can change the dates on everything and get some use out of using an actual planner every day :-)
Your video randomly came up on my recommendations and I’m so happy because I love the way you plan and how you explain everything. It feels so satisfying :) I’m also in the process of changing out my planners for the same reasons, though being in Australia we don’t have access to the Happy planner which is fine because there are still plenty of alternatives. Just wanted to comment and tell you how much I love your video, so relatable and relaxing :)
Ur videos r very useful! Sometimes I put ur videos on in the background when I’m doin my planner setup every Month. I’m still trying to figure out the right set up for me. But I use a happy planner as well. I might actually try the catch all journal. Maybe. Not sure yet. Anyways keep up the good work! Stay safe out there! Have an amazing day!
I have the Happy Planner classic- I’m new to it & you actually inspired me to have everything in 1 place. Where did you get the hourly pages? The current pages I have end at 7pm, I’m just getting started then! LOL
I've heard the plum paper planner is a good alternative to Erin Condren and it will fit the accessories you already have (covers and snap in accessories). That's the one I'm going to try for the next six months.
For your Faith Planner, how and what do you write in the horizontal spreads? Were those daily bible verses? They were so uplifting. I'm new to Faith stuff/journalling, bible verses, etc.
Im so excited to see someone else using the Big Happy Planner. Where are you getting your supplies? I can't seem to find that size. Also I will be buying your budget planner for thst reason!! Ive got a lot of binge watching to do 💗
I LOVE your setup! Did you keep the back covers inside the FrankenPlanner? I've always wanted to try a Transformer Planner! I'd love to know if you did! If so, could you do a flip through to show how it works?
I’m sure you get this all the time but you have such a relaxing voice, I could listen to you read shampoo ingredients.
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you
Sooooo true!!!!
I love this comment so much lol
I need a podcast i feel so good after this
Agreed! Just found your channel and love this set up- definitely found some inspiration.
Okay, you’ve convinced me. I think I need a planner 🤦🏾♂️
Do it!!! It's fun, it makes me feel like I am doing things. (whether I am actually doing those things may be up for debate) and it's a conversation starter. I feel like it is my second brain!
For anyone who wants to use a EC planner but doesnt want to support the brand michaels has a brand called recollections that is like a dupe. I just bought a big hourly. Its beautiful and I love it.
i'm out of the EC loop, what did they do or not do?
@@SoAnxious718 its pretty long to explain but if you look up the hashtag erincondrencancelled on instagram you should be able to find posts of what happened. Or google erin condren blm and an article should pop up.
@@cositalinda431 I heard and was surprised!
Sonia Crespo yup I found it, and wow pretty surprising. I was just about to buy the spiral notebook, but I’ll find something else.

I like how you explain your planning method.
Love the catch all notebook. I'm usually nervous to write and make mistakes in the new planner so that's perfect when you're on the go
This is excellent. And good for you for separating yourself from the tone-deaf E.C. Graduation fiasco 👏🏾
Studiogreen_ what’s going on with E.C planner people
I’m glad I’m not the only one with several planners at one time!
I just went and got a Big Happy teacher planner too for my business projects. Thanks for making this all make sense. I like how you're focused on functionality and not just decor

....using the teacher planner as a business planner is genius! I never paid them any mind since Im an accountant, but thats so smart!!!
So you have a planner to plan your planners...you are MY kind of Type A! Found your ETSY store...yay!! 💋
I was using a daily and I just switched to Plum Paper Planner. But I found you looking around after the EC issue. 💕 So glad to have found you!
Forget the planners, I need your manicure and wedding rings.
I know right. Also we then would not need a planner... just a post it because everyday would be only 1 task ' watch hands and my diamonds'
Evelyn, yes! She could have a second career as a hand model!
Hahahahaha so true
Check out the live rich planner!! It could cut down on the amount of planners you have!! I got some great ideas from you thank you!
I really like keeping a separate notebook too.
Same
I did the same thing, got a budget one too!! They were on sale $17.99 and I’m very pleased!!
Love this setup. I just started using a catch all notebook last month and it's been so helpful.
The extra (catchall) notebook is genius! I immediately added that to my system!
Just found your channel. Remote Learning definitely had me back in my planner. Love your demeanor.
I love your setup! So organized and chic

Sure thing! I'm doing planmas so I will share a bunch in my planner 101 videos which includes my home planner in December. (1st - 25th)
This video was amazing. I can't wait to do all of this!

Yeah. I purchased it a long time ago. I plan on using all my old products. and not purchasing anything new

Well that’s good. Hopefully they will include the BIG soon.... fingers crossed 🤞🏾
I'm so glad I found your channel! Love it, best system!
Great choice. Awesome video.

Anaka snip the holes and you can pop them in and out like discbound. Has seriously saved my sanity 😆
Erilyn75 giiiirl that’s smart as hell!!! I’m going to try it a wishlist tracker I purchased from Cloth and Paper
Absolutely loved this set up! I have a a bunch of planners and notebooks to keep track of business social etc but so overwhelming ! This makes sense ! I am tempted to try the happy planner now.

New to your channel (yay algorithms). Really like your video and planning style. Love your creativity :)
Thank you so much!
Your hand writing and organizing style are awesome! I’m so happy I found your page!
yes girl thank you for calling out EC
I love keeping a reading planner with HP Notes + stickers. Otherwise I manage my life with Gcal and a Rocketbook.
Another amazing video, thank you! I just adore your creativity!
Thank you!!
Thank you for being a Happy Planner! I enjoy watching your presentations. 🌻
Excellent video - thanks for sharing; I have a collection of Happy Planner pages that I never used - thinking I can change the dates on everything and get some use out of using an actual planner every day :-)

I would see if you can find another planner for July. If not, You will have to re-date that entire month!!!

Thanks for showing us.
How do you budget every year to buy your planners? Do you give yourself a fixed budget or buy when its on clearance or with coupons?
Ur videos r very useful! Sometimes I put ur videos on in the background when I’m doin my planner setup every Month. I’m still trying to figure out the right set up for me. But I use a happy planner as well. I might actually try the catch all journal. Maybe. Not sure yet. Anyways keep up the good work! Stay safe out there! Have an amazing day!
christina daquila thank you so much! Yes. A catch all notebook will change your life! You will love them... 🤗
❤ Love your videos so organized!
Sorry i am new to your channel and needing to organize. Work school mom life and maintain balance
Omg 8 planners I can barley figure out 2 lol any tips using multiple planners?
Love your organization. I thought I had a lot of planners 😀
I'm sooooo happy I found you!
Thank you!!
Subscribed! We are very similar in our strategy to remain organized. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
Thank you for this! I have 3 planners and I just purchased your planner from Etsy and was wondering how to combine them.
I have the Happy Planner classic- I’m new to it & you actually inspired me to have everything in 1 place. Where did you get the hourly pages? The current pages I have end at 7pm, I’m just getting started then! LOL
Love this! Your handwriting is gorgeous!

I have a Plum Paper planner and I love it! I’ve decided to stay with it for 2021. I was thinking about switching to an EC daily duo...not anymore.
I just came across your video, very nice penmanship and your voice is very relaxing!! new subi!!
Omg she has beautiful hands and nails
Another great video!!!
Omg! I wish I could use more than one planner! 😆 love your set ups! Thanks for sharing! 💗
Your handwriting is amazing 🙌
thank you so much
Where do you get your large hourly inserts? i can only find them in classic size. Thanks
i sure do enjoy your planning style.
I am struggling to find the ones for 2021. I previously purchased them from Happy Planner
Ok I need the exact planner names please. I’m going mad because this is how I want mine to be exactly.
Happy Planner just released the new collection in August. :)
What top 3 books do you recommend to read? Do you print pics from your phone for your scrapbooking pages??
Please provide a link where we can get the happy planner for reading and faith. Thanks.
For your Faith Planner, how and what do you write in the horizontal spreads? Were those daily bible verses? They were so uplifting. I'm new to Faith stuff/journalling, bible verses, etc.
Im so excited to see someone else using the Big Happy Planner. Where are you getting your supplies? I can't seem to find that size. Also I will be buying your budget planner for thst reason!! Ive got a lot of binge watching to do 💗
Hey! I purchased mine from Michaels during the last happy planner release....
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for a great video!
Wonderful content!
Thanks!
Love this video! What type of stand do you use to film your videos?
Great system :)
I was once told that you have one life, so you should have one planner.
Your voice reminds me of Jackie from Basketball Wives...You literally sound exactly like her.
I LOVE your setup! Did you keep the back covers inside the FrankenPlanner? I've always wanted to try a Transformer Planner! I'd love to know if you did! If so, could you do a flip through to show how it works?
Hey! Just the front covers for them all. Makes them super easy to flip to
@@TheOrganizedMoney Awesome!
Off topic, but your nails are so cute!
great video
I've decided to use a classic as my every day carry planner and it drives me nuts that it doesn't lay flat like yours lol
Did you try to use bigger discs?
Did you try to use bigger discs?
I was using expander disc but its too bulky for on the go. I think it's from my sticky note dashboard lol
So, you have a large binder and you purchase other planners and add them to the main binder?
Love the dividers. Did you make them?
I didn’t. They are from Happy planner.. 🤗
Love your videos! New subscriber!
