    Lol, Washi is life. When I am feeling down my son says "just put some Washi tape on it and it will be ok" 😆

    I want to get a planner, but I have been sick (bed ridden) for years. I used to be an artist so this appeals to my creative nature. But because I have been so sick, my daily to do was mostly trying to get through the day! I want to start a planner because i feel if i plan little things it will motivate me on the next step of my healing journey. Thank you for ALL your suggestions! Love the Mambi sticker page. The intagram hashtags suggestions! I am feeling so blessed to have found you! I loved the message of this video. "Just Keep Going!" "Just Jump In" (You should do dash board quotes)

      It works. Planning little things to motivate you to get through the day that is. I come from a similar situation and literally started planning in my planner things like "wake up" "read chapters 6-10" "eat" and it works. It really does. At the end of each day write down "plan for tomorrow" and make planning for that the last thing you do each night. Hope this helps and I hope you feel better. :)

      @maesbrit 6 лет назад +2

      This would probably be a great outlet for you! Use it as a scrapbook of you don't have a daily plan. That can very fun as well with the Big Happy Planner!

      @JulieJSchmidt 5 лет назад +6

      I am disabled and just starting a planner. However, I started with a journal not a planner. Then added monthly. Track my bad days and maybe diet/reactions. I have coloring pages and notepaper to write on.

    • @danielalondongirl933
      @danielalondongirl933 5 лет назад +1

      Juliejay Similar to you I came to the journal world through an illness which turned into a disability. It was the motivation I needed to get through the day & track small achievements and just something to take my mind off the pain. Im now into TN’s! Interesting how theres a few of us who entered via this route. Nice to hear I am not alone! Love to you girls and much healing!

      @deblgus 5 лет назад +1

    Great tips! I have a Carpe Diem A5 planner that I bought a couple of months ago and realized I don't like the layout and system at all. After watching your videos, and looking at the happy planners, I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I purchased the Faith Happy Planner last week. After looking through it, I absolutely love the page layout and ring system. Needless to say I ended up picking up the Mini Happy Planner this week and love it. I just wish I would have seen this video before I started labeling everything months in advance, because wouldn't you know it, my plans changed and I had to break out the white out. So from now on, sticky notes will be my best friend.

    Oh my gosh! I cannot say enough thanks to how much this video helped a newbie like myself! I tried to start a planner last year and it failed. This year I came across the happy planner and found your video & cannot wait to start! I was thinking of starting a separate IG account for planning as there's so many accounts to follow and didn't want to mix it up with my personal IG and then I saw one of your tips and cannot wait to create one! Thanks again and so glad I found you and excited to watch more of your videos!

    @mamabearmel3213 6 лет назад

    Love all the tips, what a great video! I actually got my first happy planner about a year and a half ago because having four planners was too overwhelming for me. I had one for work, school, home and kids. Now with my planner I divvy it all up in the rows of boxes. Top row is school, (I’m back in College after 20 years) second is everyone’s work schedule (myself, the hubby and two teens) and third is home and all the things for the kids. This planner has saved us from missing anything important because it’s all in one place! One thing I do differently is I write everything in pencil, then decorate and THEN rewrite everything in my pens. I tend to move what I write around quite a bit before settling on what works for that particular week.

    @apriljohnson1067 4 года назад

    So I bought a Happy Planner in 2016 and loved it; it just had everything I needed and I didn’t even own it use the stickers. Since then I have bought several other planners and find myself not using them enough and it is NOT because I don’t need them!! It’s just that I end up writing on a calendar or a list because I can’t get excited about my planner. So I started looking for a new one and came upon the Happy Planner once again...and the new fall release. Oh my. Now I own two planners and about 6 sticker packs and I am so excited! Thanks for your channel- it’s great 👍🏻
