Yesss ma'am!! Haha, you must have heard my legit-excitement as the clear dividers were going in! And totally - I really love that the monthlies for many of the fall release planners are the same so we can mix and match like this!
I’ve set mine up… and now I’m literally like I don’t like it anymore! I love how you just set up yours in a way that’s actually really functional and straightforward! I might steal an idea or two! Thank you for sharing! 💗
Oh no haha!! I'm sorry! I want you to be satisfied with what you have!! But if there are some tips here that you could incorporate into your set up, go for it! Steal away, friend!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am new to Franken Planning and I just purchased a few Happy Planners and I was struggling with how to combine the dividers that I like with the monthly inserts. I also have different layouts in each planner so you are definitely going to help me save time when I put mine together this week. Definitely subscribing to follow your planning journey this year.
Thanks for the comment Sheryll, I’m so glad you found me and the video will help with setting up your frankenplanner!! I know it can get confusing adding so much to one set of discs!! ♥️
Hi Elisabeth, i am so glad I found yo video and your channel ! I am new to the planning community and I bought several planners to franckenplan which is so exciting but also a bit overwhelming… your video just made the process so easy and functional !! I am going to try set up my planners with your video in mind ! Thank you ! I am going to watch your social media set up as well since I need to do one as well !! Ps : I need to buy top tab dashboard now to make my sections easier to find and use ahah 😆
Hey girl! So glad you found me! And I am so happy to hear that my set-up helped give you ideas for how to set up your frankenplanner!! And YES!! For sure, top tabs and side tabs make a huge difference!!
I love how you included the goal section from the monthly layout. This is a layout I love but never used it to its potential. I may have to purchase because a light bulb went off when u did your setup!!
Thank you! And yay!! Glad the bulb went off! I love the monthly layout- it’s excellent for frankenplanning because the dashboard and tasks lists are *almost* undated and can go anywhere!!
@@thejoyfulsojourn I frankenplan as well. I have 2 that I do - one for personal and one for my business (I own a bakery). They are both classic size. For personal, I have the In Every Season Classic vertical for my catch all, the undated budget planner from the Winter release, the Foodie Classic Meal Planner for my wellness, the Gratitude Journal from the Grateful Heart Be Happy Box plus I ordered the extension and filler paper for the Let Your Heart Wander set. For my business, I have a lined vertical (not sure of name, but it is a black cover with Start Living Your Dreams on it), this is for my daily schedule, I am using parts of the planner from the Plant A Happy Life Be Happy Box for my social media, then I do a bunch of custom pages for my financials. I'm still waiting for my order from the winter release (takes longer to get to Canada) plus some extras I ordered from Cloth & Paper. I can't wait to finish setting it all up!
@@thejoyfulsojourn Faith Pray vertical planner, 5 sticker books, financial planner, farmhouse happy notes and I would like to get filler paper but it all looks like it’s sold out on HPs website. Excited to dig in!! You helped me make a lot of these decisions! 💖
I really like your setup, it makes more sense to me than just pulling whole months from 8 different planners and calling that a frankenplanner. The bujo sections in the back are also my kind of setup, how do people live without them? 😄 Maybe you could put your goals between the "The Goods" and "Dailies" dividers.
Thanks Anna - TOTALLY! I've always wondered if having multiple monthly divider tabs bothered anyone else or if it was just me! And yes! I'm planning to put goal related sheets after "The Goods"!!
I would make a goals page to cover the other half of the month you didn't like between your currently pages then you could use all the pages instead of glueing it together and losing the original currently. I would also put the word of the year behind the goods tab. So you see it everytime you go to the other section.
Just found your channel and was wondering: You have a pr of tweezers in your Amazon page and another in your " Planner tools" and was wondering which you prefer? I only need one for stickers. And does it matter if they are Meriam as one isn't? Thx
Hello!! I don't think I realized the links were different...unless I did that because my original tweezers sold out and so I posted an alternative. I'll check it out! In the meantime, as long as they are extra long, you can't go wrong!
I love watching your videos. You are so creative! I was wondering if you have a good source for plain dot grid paper? I'm having trouble finding any from Happy Planer. The couple of times I have found dot grid, it is highly decorated and not the best for bullet journal type spreads.
Hi Jennifer!! Thanks for the encouragement, and so glad you’re enjoying my videos!! There are two Happy Planner Journals that have some plain (no color, no doodles) dot grid filler paper in them and that’s what I use! The currently available one is the “colorful leopard classic guided journal” and it’s on the happy planner website and hobby lobby! Half the pages have bullet-journal type boxes pre-printed on them, and the other half are totally clean dot grid sheets! Outside of that, Janes Agenda has dot grid punch paper! The link in my description box is a 15% off first purchase if you want to go that route!
I'm new to Fraken Planning and using the Happy Planner. I love your setup, however it seems like in order to get my planner the way I want it I'll probably end up purchasing at least four planners....
Hi Tina, welcome to the community! Frankenplanning means using multiple planners, so it won't be ideal for everyone. They key is just finding a system that works for you!
Oh! I should also say that if you're willing to wait for a sale, or clearanced items, it becomes more affordable to use multiple planners with patience. For example, I think Michaels has planners 50-60% off right now. You can also find clearanced planners that are partially expired, which can be re-dated with stickers! So there are ways to find good deals on planners if you decide you want to frankenplan multiple planners into one.
Ok if you wanted those dashboards in your monthly you have the planner pages to put them just after your monthly layout. You could take both monthly pages from the vertical layout, (not just the divider) and then tape the monthly planner dashboard pages in between the first vertical page of the month and the right monthly page from the fitness. Does that make sense? So it would go divider, monthly spread page from vertical planner *turn page* vertical page glued to the first dashboard from the monthly planner next page from monthly planner glued to the monthly to the fitness planner *turn page* first week of fitness. Planner. Did that make sense at all???? Anyway GREAT setup.
Yes I see! I’m not sure I want to connect/marry the monthly dashboard to the inside section, but that is a GREAT idea if I change my mind!! I hadn’t thought to take the entire monthly layout from the vertical planner, which would allow me to do that!!
@@thejoyfulsojourn I am with you - I thought I would hate it - but I did it and it kept me from frankenplanning as much. It really is like I have two monthlies. One dated and a focus area. Also - I must look like a stalker for how many times I have commented I just really like your videos and your style. So don't think I am weird. Just another planner babe! lol
You could switch the two “extended currently” pages and glue them together covering the daily tasks page so you don’t have to cover the regular currently page
Omg you’re awesome, I have all these cute planners from years pass. Didn’t want to throw away. Because of you I now know what to do. ❤️
YAY!! Make it work, girl! Mix and match and have fun!
Love your setup! And love that everything is in one place instead of having 4 planners to fill out everyday it's really like one.
Thanks Angela!! Yes exactly!! Doesn’t feel as crazy when it’s consolidated!
I love when you have an epiphany on what your gonna do, and great idea with matching up the months since the HP has similar monthly pages now.
Yesss ma'am!! Haha, you must have heard my legit-excitement as the clear dividers were going in! And totally - I really love that the monthlies for many of the fall release planners are the same so we can mix and match like this!

Elizabeth thanks for showing this video of how to Franken plan your catch all. I got some ideas thanks 😀
Thanks Peggy, glad it was helpful!

Oh my gosh i have the same softcover! Interesting setups. Thanks for sharing!
Happy to share! And it's a beautiful cover right?!
First time watching you. Great Video!!!
Hi Brandi! Thank you, and glad ya found me!! Hope this was helpful!!
I love how you put your planner together. I’m going to use a lot of your ideas! Thank You
Thanks Christine!! Yes please do!!
Love your setup Elizabeth.. Can't wait to see how to put them to good use..
Thanks Priya!!
I was about to order some folders next week. Those adhesive pockets would be perfect!! Thank you!
Yes girl!!
I like your goods, it is very nice inspiration for me, how to improve my happy planner😊.
Thanks Blanka! Glad it was helpful!!
Great set-up! Love the colors!
Thanks Rita!!
My favorite part is when you said you’ll grab the goods 😂😂😂 sorry I’m too immature sometimes 😬
Ali you are always, always, always welcome to be immature with me!!
Love this! Can’t wait to do my own Franken Planning for 2022.
Yay!! Have fun with it!!
Love your setup, Elizabeth! I’m still sitting on the fence as to how many I “need” to frankenplan😂 Decision, decisions, decisions!
Thanks Yiann!! Yes, so many options! And there's such a fine line between an 'optimally organized system' and an 'overly complicated system' haha!!
This is great. Setting mine up
This weekend.
Yay! Have fun!!
Love it! I have the same soft cover and used white metal discs.
Oooo…I can picture the white discs on this cover and it’s lovely! Excellent choice!
Looking great Elizabeth, I’m getting so many ideas as I wait for my HP delivery! Can’t wait to set up now xxx💕
Let me know how yours comes together when everything arrives 🤗
@@thejoyfulsojourn I will do, I hope I’ll be filming it for the new year! xxx💕
I love how you set everything up. I'm still waiting for some things to come in before I get all of my stuff set up for 2022
Thank you!! Would love to hear what you’re assembling!!

Great setup 👌. I am currently deciding what layout to use for my catch all this year. So many decisions.
Thanks Lynnette!! Yes so many decisions!!
Great video! Great ideas!🕎🎄
Thank you Carol!
Looks like a great setup.
Thanks Sandy, hope it works for me!
Could you put a smaller pocket on the bigger one?
Oooooo!! so it’s two layered/stacked?? Probably!!
This video was so helpful as it is similar to what I think I want to do. What size discs did you use?
Glad it was helpful! These are 1.25" metal discs from The Happy Planner.
@@thejoyfulsojourn The metal discs are the best. I can't believe all that fit on the classic discs! You have given me hope.
Waiting on my HP to come in but I'm excited to set it up!!
What did you get!! 🤗

@@thejoyfulsojournI can't wait to see it all finished. I am excited for you collection pages also. I love the inspiration they give.
I love that blue cover, is that from the HP? Where did you get it?
Thanks! It is from HP!! I got it at Joann!
What if you put your word of the year behind your clear ‘the goods’ divider?
I think that’s the place it’ll go!

@@thejoyfulsojourn perfect 😍
Are you using standard ring size or extender? Thanks in advance!!!
Hello! Classic discs! For me, the expander rings are too bulky for everyday use.
I love your planner!!!! Can you please come set mine up?
Haha thank you Karen!!! Giiiirl I’d love to, but we can only dream 🤣
