I would love to see a flip through of just your "extra pages"!!
Same!
yes me too! maybe at little craft place classes. I could see it up close.( Take out your budget part). lol
Same here
I get the most out of my planner but still like to come here to watch and get more out of my planner thats how it is when youre a planner babe like myself and like yourself. I absolutely have to watch this videos. They give me life. 100. I am super excited, thrilled to get started once again beause this planner babde is still here and ready for the next phase. are you with me?
Richelle Ward yes, me too! That’s a great suggestion! 😊
2020 goals..... to write like you
I love all your videos Heather! But this one is LIFE. I have rewatched it 4 times in the last 36 hours. Like legit, life changing. THANK YOU! Seriously I have text myself the link to be able to always find it. 🥰🤩😎
Thanks Heather for your inspiration. Just coming out of a planner funk, after taking a LOT of time to organize it for my lifestyle and goals. These tips allowed me to gain new focus and tweak some things that didnt' work. There is nothing to say that you cannot change your planner for what works for you. Grateful to catch this video and tomorrow I am going to use these tips, first up...create a GOALS page. Busy mom here (7 kids YIKES), full time professional, finishing up grad school, you have given me new inspiration with this video. Thank you so much!
Very good "tutorial" for those of us who don't normally use a planner. Thank you!
I have referred back to this video several times since you posted it. I just received my Faith planner, a vertical BIG planner that I plan to use for memory “planning” and 6 sticker books Friday! I’m so excited! I memory planned from 6th-10th grade but I tossed them all as a teenager not thinking I would appreciate them later (I’m 26 now) I can’t wait to start memory planning again. I’m opening up my packages from happy planner now 🎉😁
I do my monthly a different way. I put one-liners of my schedule, such as a time and one word or an acronym of what is scheduled for that day. That way if someone calls about a meeting in the future, I can look at the whole month and see if I have time. The column month at a glance pages are just too small for me if I have two or more things on one day. With the monthly, I use the little color "strips" from Colorful Boxes, or a one swipe of my mildliners and write in, such as 1PM Site Codes, 9A MIchelle. I then go to the weekly section of my vertical and write in the description of what it is llke "9A Coffee w/Michelle @ Strbux".
That's what I do! Monthly will say 'Doc appt 9am', weekly will have the specifics, which doc I'm seeing, why, and any other details I may need.
@@sunflowerchelseak4781 That's exactly how I use my monthly. It is my monthly at a glance for that reason. LOL :)
I love the idea of using the monthly for gratitude or meal planning. I'm currently using for budgeting and events but I'll add meal planning starting next month.
Your handwriting is so beautiful, I can't tell what is written versus a sticker! Thank you for the focus on functional planning. My planner is messy but functional, so I still love it. Guess a 202 goal will be to make my planner beautiful as well.
I love the video and the ideas that you mentioned. Even though I've been planning for years, it's nice to go back to the basic sometimes for a review. Thank you for your time a time.
Love that you coordinate your nail polish with the planner!
I love the title on your planner. I love your reading book picture list.
This is just what I needed - thanks Heather!! I’ve learned much from you.
Thanks for all of the tips! I’ll be putting a lot of those to work..
Not double writing plans is BIG for me. But I thought I had to do it. Thanks for giving me permission to plan once instead of duplicating stuff two or three times!!
Our set up is so similar!!! I’m so happy I found your page and am glad I’m on the right track to becoming a planner babe!!!
Love the tips. I think my planner is definitely helping me become more organized this year.
Very helpful! I’m a newbie, and I was feeling redundant writing the same thing in 2 spots. Thanks for the tips!
I have a different take on my monthly page. I am new to the Happy Planner and decorative planning, but I have always used a monthly calendar for my family's plans. I am in the process of decorating and filling out my monthlies up through June, at least, because I use those to track the kuds' school schedules and activities so I can schedule appointments around those. I have struggled a little bit more with the weekly's. I don't like to write out to-do lists necessarily because if I don't get the stu6done I feel guilty. So, for now, I am writing down what I DID accomplish in the day so that when I get to the end of the day, I can be encouraged by what I did do. I also have included a classic half sheet of mote paper in each week as a sort of brain dump for things I need at various stores, things the kids ask me about, etc.

Yvonne Hurlbert Writing to do list still could be useful for you, especially when you don’t get all done! First the tasks don’t get lost because you know where they are, second it might help you learning how long tasks actually take to be completed and you can make better plans in the future without being overwhelmed. I constantly overbook myself but stopped being guilty years ago, but I review my lists regularly and have everything at hand if I need to prioritise something.
I just want to play with stickers.🤫
benoodles all of us are like that. No shame. It’s therapeutic 🥰🤣
I love this video! I get so discouraged that I am not using my planner as much as I see people doing on all the videos. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is a great video Heather!
I am new to your channel great tips! I am also new to planning also. I like your tip about not double planning. Thanks!
Great ideas. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips, this is very helpful!
Heather, I've tried using a mini planner that will fit in my purse. It is too small for an everything planner and doesn't leave much room for decorating. So I also have a classic planner. It is much more fun to decorate. But I feel like I'm duplicating entries and it is tough to fit in my purse and rather heavy. Can you do a video showing how you use your mini on the go planner, including some after the pen? Loved this video and got some useful tips.
yes please to this
I too have an on-the-go planner and a stay-at-home-planner - some things need to be duplicated - like appointments - but think of what you need to know when you are out - do you really need to know that you planned to do laundry on the weekend, or is it enough to put errands in your mini and housework in your classic. I dived my planners strictly to what I need to know where I use them: home planner for everything I do at home (including preparing my lessons), On-the-go for errands, grocery lists and appointments and my work planner for everything to do with my day job. Appointments go in all of them, because they limit my time for getting things done, but the rest doesn’t duplicate at all. Maybe the helps you a little ... 😊
@@lorelei_lee thanks for the tips.
I'd also love to see flip throughs of your extra sections along with ideas for extra sections!!
Love how your hands talk! Plus they are so pretty. Yes, we notice!
Great tips!
Super helpful!!!!
Great tips
I like the pages you use all the time are laminated and using g the monthly for a specific thing
I would love to see a slow flip though of your planner now that we’re heading into March. I’ve learned so so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing.
I agree I follow her tips so much
Yes, I’d love to see this also.
I so agree.
I flip through my planners at the end of every month. Here is January's video- ruclips.net/video/i2fke3nHEvg/видео.html. I will post February's once February is over.
Thank you for this video! These help a lot! I’m having sooo much trouble finding planner peace! I feel like a lot of the cute planners have the dashboard layouts but I’m struggling with the decorating and usefulness of that layout! Could you do more videos of dashboard layouts? You are still using the classic vertical layout?
This has helped get some wheels turning. I also frankenplan. All my planers are working very well for me BUT my main catch all planner-it's becoming a problem. I use a time block method so I don't over schedule the day .Important living with chronic illness. My problem though is I'm running out of room for tasks that don't have a specific time - laundry, calls, etc and not having them on a specific day/is not working at all. I was using a larger size from another company last year - but downgraded to a classic size for many different reasons love the size, but haven't found a planner style that works for me in the smaller size- that allows me to do the time blocking - that works well overall! I've tried to do list sand punching them in but need to be able to assign tasks to a day!
Love your videos....I really took interest in the Faith Section, I do a scripture then I will write what it means to me during my devotional time in the mornings and evenings b4 bed!!! I have a classic planner and was wondering how you made your tabs for top and for the side? Sure would love to make my own tabs and dividers!!
Hi Heather! xox
You are so organized. ❤️❤️ that. If you don’t mind me asking, what pen did you use when you wrote 2020 Goals? I feel like it is one that I could utilize in my planner.
Love your tips, just subscribe
Do you have a video showcasing specific ways to use your monthly spread? I’m struggling with different ways to use it other than events.
I use a mood tracker to help me to use my planner
Did you make your reading list page and if so can you show us how?
I would love to know your advice on Student (college) planning using the Dashboard style planners.. Any helpful tips would be awesome!
Hi Heather I am trying to decide to get the new mini 2020/2021 horizontal caise I use mine for me and my sisters daily medical care to track when we eat,apptiments,medical supply delivery and apptiments for the rest of my family manly medical all the way around. I have the classic 2020 planner for everything that not medical related. Once my mini runs out should I just use my classic and write the dailey medical in ne of the boxes everyday for the rest of the year or should I get another mini planner to continue on to keep it seprpate from everything else
I thought I understood it all til I saw you had both a vertical layout for daily, then other pages with a dashboard layout. Do you use different pages from different planners with different layouts in your one planner? Is there a past video that shows how? Thank you for all of your wonderful information and inspiration!
Wish I had a more going on in my life to plan! Don’t work or many friends for a social life.
Can you tell me where you got the dividers especially the floral designed one? Thank you 🤓
I just saw the new release for Happy Planner, are you as disappointed as I am about them removing the 2x2 month-at-a-glance in the uper left corner on each weekly spread? I hope they put it back before the 2021 set comes out.
What water erase marker(s) do you use? And do you use self laminating sheets in the big box stores? Sorry if these question have been asked. Thank you
What kind of pens do you use on the laminated pages?
Heather I am a business person I work a full day and love crafting. Of course the only crafting I get to do now is my planner. I need more white space to write but I still want the pages to look good any ideas for someone like me?
Double planning? I actually enjoy doing that. I am also the kind of person that will write the same list in multiple places. That being said, I can see how it would be annoying for most people.
Soul Magical Michele, I'm the same way. Everything goes in my personal Classic Size planner. I have a work planner & a fitness planner, which are specific to their purpose, but my personal classic contains everything.
Where do you get the tabs from?
where did you get the dividers
Would love advice for students.
So good, Heather. Do you just keep a few months from each type of planner in your main planner?
I keep one month at a time in my main planner
Wendy Howard I sections quarterly with another quarter started to so I’ve got the next quarter all ready to pop in.
where do you find a monthly divider for tab labeling for fitness or etc
I usually take my extra tabs out of a Happy Notes!
What If you work out of your car?
Where can I find a wet erase marker? Those seem to be perfect
The Little Red Hen I bought mine at Target. Amazon sells them… really any place that sells office supplies… even Walmart. They’re Vis-A-Vis Wet Erase markers. The ones I have are made by Expo
I started using a planner but totally DID feel like I was double planning b/c of the monthly and the weekly plans and so it just seemed pointless...and I fell off the wagon. :( I just don't KNOW what to track ON the monthly that wouldn't be tracked elsewhere. :/
Where did you get your reading list?
I get the most out of my planner but still like to come here to watch and get more out of my planner thats how it is when youre a planner babe like myself and like yourself. I absolutely have to watch this videos. They give me life. 100. I am super excited, thrilled to get started once again beause this planner babde is still here and ready for the next phase. are you with me?
Where do you get your dividers/tabs that stick out the top? I got one with my wellness accessory pack. But I'd like more - maybe at different widths. But I don't know where to find them.
Michael has some on clearance right now. They are clear and you can add sticker to it to customize it like heather did.
I'll have to check again. I've looked at different Michaels here - and JF and HL and hadn't found any other than regular tabs sets (that have tabs on the right hand side). I like the plastic ones with the tabs on the top. Thanks so much.
I went back and they didn’t have any out our michaels. But I did find at hobby lobby. And their clearance sale right now is crazy good.
I’d love to frankenplan but seriously not sure where to start.
watch my monthly set up videos!
Amy Armstrong so glad I saw your comment and heather’s reply! I was going to comment the same thing.
Can you do a video with no stickers or washi please.
That's not really my style
You mention to bring your planner with you as your final tip for making the most of your planner, but how do you make sure that the planner will not get damaged in the process of carrying it around in the process?
I would suggest a deluxe cover from The Happy Planner OR a cover from EC... The EC one is zip up and can fit a lot more! You can see my review of it here- ruclips.net/video/fEqJcKUlk5Q/видео.html - there is a link to purchase in the description of the video
Heather i love ur videos this was helpful. I have a question for you and i hope you get back to me becuz i have really been struggling on this and what to do. I write to do lists everyday.. not always in my planner becuz i have a mini one becuz i travel alot and fit in my purse so my question is what should i do?? Should i buy a bigger planner so i can fit the to do lists? Or how can i put them in my planner somehow? This is a big problem for me becuz i write to do lists on a piece of paper and lose it etc.. please help. If anyone also has this problem please hit the like button.
Also can you do a video on what stickers to buy that are more functional and less decorative? So i know what sticker books to get?
Thanks
I use the mini filler paper to write my To Do list for my mini planner. This way I have it in my planner and not on my planner pages, which are used for "what's going on" plans. I hope this helps. :)
@@donnamartinez6201 yes thanks so much ill try that its just sometimes i want to put to do lists in my planner since they have all those bullet points stickers and to do stickers but that will def help me becuz i write way too much to do lists anyway lol
You said wet eraser 😂
What is the difference between a to do list and a brain dump list ?
A to do list is things you know you need to get done right then. A brain dump could just be thoughts floating in your head, things you want to get done but no clue when you can actually get them done, ideas for the future that aren't necessarily plans yet but things you hope for, etc.
For me, a brain dump of to do type things is writing down everything I think needs to be done, or I want to do. Then I can look at the dumped things and prioritize them, delete them, or categorize them. With it all out, I can then choose the next one or two things to put on my to do list. The likelihood of doing everything on a brain dump is pretty slim but it sure helps when I think I need to do it all. Priority is easier to decide when you can see all of those thoughts on paper.
What if you so depressed that you don’t have goals or a focus on the future?
I would suggest picking one small goal that is closer to you- it doesn't have to be big. Maybe your goal is to plan a lunch with a friend or clean your closet out or go to the gym once this week. It doesn't have to be a BIG lofty goal to be a goal.
Right there with ya. Having a planner does help me remember that when I’m feeling better I can just jump back into being productive. When I’m really down I work on making things pretty. I just finished working on a zone cleaning chart for my planner even though I’m not doing a lot of cleaning go right now it reminds me that I won’t always feel like this and having something pretty to look at will make me feel better. Work on a pretty self care page to remind yourself of ways that you can take care of yourself even when you don’t feel like taking care of yourself. Hope you feel better soon.
Wendy, I'm sorry you're struggling so much. I've been struggling since my mom passed away January 14th. Many days I'm paralyzed with the grief, and unable to focus on progress. I've been trying to just not even look at one day at a time, but one minute at a time, and allowing myself to heal in the time necessary. I've also been thinking about journaling daily in hopes it will help. Maybe journaling in a planner would help. I will be praying for you.
Tracy Quebral I’m so sorry to hear you lost your mother. I can’t even imagine what your going through. Prayers for you also 🙏🏻
@@wenzjammer , thank you so much. One minute at a time...we can do it.
