    Ugh. focus issues again. I dropped my camera and the autofocus is obviously struggling. I'm replacing it this week so next week the issues should be cleared up, but in the meantime, sorry about that yo.

      Cindy Guentert-Baldo I think your white balance is off due to your sweater (which I like, btw, just so you know I’m not hating). There are colors and patterns you can’t wear on tv because it freaks out the camera. It’s been a minute since I’ve dabbled in cinema/photography so the newer cameras may be more awesome, but utilizing autofocus without performing a white balance in different lighting will blow out the colors and the camera can’t compensate well.

    • @CraftyKarin
      @CraftyKarin 4 года назад +2

      I’m wondering if it’s because your focus point is in the middle and you’re sitting a bit off centre. In the second half I noticed that every time you hold something in the middle of the frame the focus goes from the background to you.

      My thing is I can't even tell my husband like I wish I'd never bought that I don't even use it because when I was in the store buying whatever it is he said do you really need that you have enough of that stuff and I'm like God you don't even understand and now I have a ton of stuff I'm not and I own a planter making business called pop planners Planters on purpose and I don't even need some of those. I love your video

    Pausing the video 27 seconds in just to say: the pearl-clutchers need to understand that cussing is not bad; plenty of horrible, nasty, mean things are said by people who never cuss, and they say it in the sweetest voice, pretending to be doing whoever’s heart they are breaking a favor.

      Amen to that! I remember when my son was little and someone said something to me because something happened and I cursed in front of him. My son (he's now 16) was 5 years old and said, "Hey! Don't you yell at my Mother! She's an adult and can say anything she wants to say. The important thing is that I don't say those words, right Mom?" It was great. But goes to show you, I'm not a bad person, I go to church, was on the PTA, and I raised my son to be a respectful, polite young man, I just happen to curse like a sailor 😂😂😂

      Tammy D I couldn’t agree more. After my accident I was spinning around on 75 pain pills a day. It was crazy and most were to resolve the side effect of the previous one or to add more as they didn’t work for chronic pain. I was told I would never walk or have children. Thankfully after determination and a never tell me never attitude I have a miracle son and now after nearly 25 years in the wheelchair I am learning to walk. All but 5 pain pills are gone and slowly they will be stopped as well.

    Middle-of-the-night FOMO purchase. I bought three copies of the same Happy Planner sticker book in one purchase. Three AM and my sleep-deprived (or depraved) brain insisted I “needed” the Tiny stickers. So I put them in my cart and kept shopping. Over the course of an hour I ordered this book two more times. Each one a little more expensive than the other and all three from different vendors. 🤦🏻‍♀️ This lead to a new rule. I can put things in my cart at night, but I cannot complete the purchase until after 12 noon. You have no idea how much money this rule has saved me. Smh.

I loved all the beautiful spreads with all the stickers and well... I bought an EC starting in July 2019 and have done maybe 5-6 spreads... I feel guilty about spending $50+ to get it and not use it but now I am back to my bujo.

    Yes!!! Finally somebody called out the Stabilo highlighters BS! I don't have mildliners available in my country, so I was so glad to find pastel colored highlighters, but daaamn, that bleeding is insane. Even on thick paper they bleed. On regular printer paper they make a total disaster. I bought them around a year ago and I still can not comprehend, why would Stabilo put up for sale something, that is absolutely can't work the way it should? And who buys them?! Well, besides me, obviously XD Definitely, one of the things I regret buying the most.

Then I see another one with a different layout and I’m like oh this would be good for this. Then another and another. Last year I tossed one planner I never even wrote in and declared I would only buy one for this year. I now have 4 that I was certain would each serve a separate purpose. I only use two of them. 😂. Maybe next year I will stick to two....... unless I find more great planners at Barnes and Noble for 50% or more off! 🤗

    Stencils. When I started the bujo thing, I was watching this one planner who used stencils to make her weekly spreads, cardboard stencils she sold on Etsy. I bought a set, plus a really pretty set of brass ones from someplace else.
    They took longer to use than a ruler, and nothing was the size I wanted. The alphabet ones weren't easy to use and I didn't like the font. They just didn't work for me.

    I love how honest you are about your purchases and your regrets. I got sucked into doing a digital planner after i had been doing paper planners for years. I went and bought all the extra "digital Stickers" and spent way to much money. After three months, i went back to paper and really regret spending so much on the digital planner and stickers. Maybe, some day I'll use them.

    I cancelled my order for the 3th agenda I wanted to get this year. While listening to you I realised that for work I actually only need my digital calender and my bullet journal. That worked perfectly for years so why try to force another new agenda? (it was the moleskine Pro though and it looked very good...) Still I'm actually proud I did it. I rarely cancel stuff so this was good!

And just couldn’t, tried Happy Planner, which is what got me into planners in the first place, but I never used it. I’m doing bullet journaling this year and finding it a much better fit for me. That being said I am still having moments where I go that planner or accessory is cute and I must have. In reality I’m just really easily convinced I need things I don’t. Great video.

But all these ladies are doing budgets in the EC and they had to say the EC was on sale- that word gets me. So I had it loaded in my cart, looking at budget stickers to use with it, even though it would totally blow the budget I was so carefully trying to stick to. Don’t know why I took a break, think I really was watching more videos to see which shops my favorite budgeters use, when I watched your video. You totally saved my budget today. Thank you so much!

I got a horizontal life planner to track my mom's health. I've gone back & fourth on this in both actually using it & in how I'd like to use it. I'll decide after her next round of bloodwork if it's worth trying again or if I want to just rip out all I used & see if a friend wants it. I got the note pads you love in 2 sizes, both lined & dot grid, because you & so many others say you love them. They are amazing BUT I didn't NEED them. I have many other notebooks that should be used 1st

I was completely swept up in the hype here on RUclips/influenced by the influencers, but also, Happy Planner designs are just so freakin colorful, and I am a magpie.

When I started planning in 2017 I thought “Stamps would be so much more cost efficient!” except 1) I suck at stamping well 2) I hate the way the ink feathers on paper and 3) I found Etsy shops with weekly kits that were cute and easier to use. Also a Hobonichi Weeks cover that had strings and then three 1407 planners inserts to fit. Used one page of one insert and haven’t touched them since.

    This video made me feel better about a recent purchase fail . I, too, was sucked in by the EC Folio planner videos. I watched several. They look pretty on social media and they were on sale around Christmas. I bought the 4 daily journals and the travelers notebook. I realized how little I used them during the month of January. I wanted to quit them after two weeks, but I forged ahead to give them a fair chance - a full month. Finally gave up the first week of February. I went back to an old standby monthly planner. So many daily pages in my Petite Journals were nearly blank.And I'm not good with stickers. I also tend to just use longer sticky notes for my daily to-list/checklist. That list often carries over to the next day or the day after. In addition, the journals, while SUPER CUTE are STIFF AF!!! I found myself wrestling with them just to write. Paper is too thick for my taste. Maybe I didn't use the journals enough to soften or flatten them. (??) But I tend to like a more pliable feel. This is what I get with a Moleskin Cahier notebook and the like. So I wasted my money on the Folio stuff. But oh, well. Next time, I'll try to think longer and harder about how * I* will actually use planner supplies etc. Like how I actually plan as opposed to how I think I *should* plan or how somebody else plans. How I do it now, works for me. I'm not a cutesy planner. I don't play with paper dolls, frilly doily/ coaster thingies (die cuts) inside my planner, either. I think they're pretty and great for other people. But too fussy for me and my minimalistic planning style. Lesson learned. (I hope.) Fingers crossed. lol

    I related to this so hard! I almost fell down the EC petite planner rabbit hole, but luckily stopped at the edge. I definitely had an issue with the Target stuff when I entered the online planner sphere. I do believe many of us go through a “buy all the things”/exploration phase when we start a hobby like this until we figure out what we like best/use most. Then it becomes a big ol’ destash phase (my current phase). But I still fall victim to he “I have to have it monster” when I’m at a Michael’s or Tuesday Morning or planner event.
