Do you want to see more planning and organization videos? I can't wait to show you guys how I use an old Happy Planner for my plot notes, how I color-coordinate multiple-povs, and how I track my daily word counts. Do you use a paper planning system? Or are you all digital? Let me know in the comments!
Oh, my! I started a list of topics I would love for you to cover based on your AWESOME videos. Sarra, you mentioned some of them above. Please do more planning and organization videos. Please share your Plotting Notebook, color coding systems, an updated What's in your Bag, a day in the life while writing at Starbucks and/or Panera, your hotel/motel write-in sessions, whiteboard system, pen collection, discuss your writing professional development, Craft books they are your MUST own, Writer Plan with Me, In-depth on your Traveler's Notebook...I can go on and on and on...: ) Thank you bunches of oats, sweetheart.
A deeper discussion on the Pros and Cons of Pen Names for different genres. ;)
I am seriously addicted to your planning videos and I hope you put out your own planner, which I will buy in a heartbeat.
I want to use a bullet journal or now I’m interested in this planner here. I just need to get in the habit and then build on it. I would love for you to do more videos on planning as a writer!
I am an undisciplined writer, I would love to see more video's on managing your time and becoming more productive in writing. I am new to this channel and sorry it's taken me so long to find this channel. I am also new to TN's and love the idea of managing my writing and time in them.
I love this channel and plan on spending more time here.

I aspire to being this organized, it's happening! Seeing HOW to use a planner has been a game changer for me. It is really not as intuitive as I thought, which is why now I'm finally getting it.
Bella Roccaforte It can take time to find the right one too! There are so many different systems out there, it might take some trial and error to find the right one for you!
Would love another video just like this one for just beginning writers would be amazing
Man, I thought I was obsessive about planning! You are a turbo planner! It is evident you truly enjoy everything to do with writing. At times, the minimalist in me becomes nauseous looking at all of this, wondering how on earth you keep track of it all, but then I realised this is a system that has made you a million dollars over the years. So it's basically a million-dollar system. I think I need to turn off the Netflix!
best comment ever XDXD
Years ago, I used to use a Ziggy Planner that had a similar layout. Those no longer exist. Until your video, I'd never heard of the Hobonichi Techno Cousin planner. It is EXACTLY what I like in a planner: annual, monthly, weekly and daily view. Thank you for sharing! Because of you, I am going to buy one for 2019. I've placed it in my current planner. Also because of you, I realized I was using my Weekly Planner Sheet as a to list where I was putting things on that came up for the week. I didn't realize I was doing this. Now, I am going to use my Weekly Planner to actually PLAN before the week starts.
MsChicoro I'm so excited the video has helped you! And I really love this Hobonichi. I agree that having all those different views is the best! So many dailies only have the monthly and daily view without the weekly overview. I need it all!
Thank you for responding! Got to figure out how to get one for 2019.
You give really practical advice. Like really useful. Thank you so much!
Such a useful video pack with goodies, thank you! 💜🐼
Oh, my word! You are very organised! I'm in awe! I think I need a secretary hehe
Thank you so much for sharing there is very little about planning and writing.
Chau Matser That's so true! And yet so many of us are planners!! What do you write? Thanks for watching!
I found your videos by typing in the phrase "Goal, Motivation and Conflict". Something of which I was not aware just 2 weeks ago. I like how you give resources and references.
Thanks for this! I was watching other TN videos about planners until I finally realized I should search for someone using it as a writer, like me. And this was just as helpful as I had hoped. Lots of good ideas and food for thought!
sn0wflake I'm so excited this was helpful! I hope to do more videos soon on my individual notebooks and how I use them! Thanks so much for watching!
Your entire launch has been so wonderful, Sarra! 🎉 I’ve printed out both downloads, and will be filling out the journal prompts today. Currently, I’m using a Passion Planner and I’ve found some planner peace for now (I too love the concept of bullet journaling, though the sitting down to draw it all was stressing me out 😉). Your TN is gorgeous, btw, and it’s great to see how other writers set everything up. On that note, I’d love to see the color-coded plotting method you mentioned, and any other writing-craft tips! I’m already enjoying the mix of writerly subjects you’ve covered so far.
Thank you, Samantha! I'm excited you've enjoyed these. Let me know how the journal pages go for you! I know a lot of people who use the Passion Planner and love it! I've been so tempted to try it out! I will definitely add a color coded plotting method video to the schedule. Thanks so much for the feedback!
This is all so amazing!! I’m so glad I found your channel (and blog!). I will be proud to know I’ve been with you since the beginning with this channel because your videos are just packed with great information and I know you will go far ♥️
Anastasia Rath Oh my gosh, thank you for saying this! So happy you're finding the information useful!!💖
Hi Sarra! I am just getting around to commenting on your videos. I have such planner envy now, lol. My notes are in separate and varied spiral notebooks. This organization makes so much sense. Sanity-saver! Thanks :-)
I've been wanting to see a writer using a TN and there you go. Love this and I love chic sparrow too. I have an a6 for my EDC and an A5 for my books
Christy Johnson Awesome! I have a few others from Chic Sparrow, but this is the one I use the most!
This was a good watch, and good for those who are result-driven. Your journal is quite tedious, I like it! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hi there! Happy to find another self-published author on YT! :) Will be checking more of your videos. I’m trying to organize my writing journal and I’m glad I came across your channel.
foxclouds Awesome!! So nice to meet you!!
Great video. I never understood the Hobonichi planning system until now. Thanks for this. I'll definitely incorporate this into my writing routine.
Hi! Not even sure if you will see this comment since this video is quite old(and appears to be when you first started doing planner videos) but I love how you are using the Hobinochi. It makes so much sense. I know from following you for a while that you (like me) often try out many different styles of planners - is there a reason you didn't stick with this one? I think I'm going to grab a version that is July through December ... anyway, I know you are getting close to baby birthday so if you don't see this until much later. .. no worries. thanks as always for being such an inspiration.
Wow. This is really great info. I write nonfiction and still found lots to learn.
Love your channel, and your video was very helpful I hope you do more ☺
Tracie Carver thank you!
I have just ordered a travellers notebook like this and can't wait to get my writing organised! Would love to see how you make your dashboards!
SUCH a beautiful notebook! I wish I wouldve picked up an ink!
This was interesting.
I’ve been trying to see wats others plan their writing.
So glad I found this video today! I'd stopped using my Cousin Avec for planning because half of it was going to waste (daily pages). This has really helped me figure out how to use the Cousin for realistic long and short term goal setting and planning. Now I'm off to see how you use your Happy Planner -- I've turned mine into a basic discbound for chapter plotting and character creation.
KLL Thanks so much for watching! Glad this helped! Sounds like we are using our happy planners in a similar way too!
Thank you for sharing this video, I really love it. It is very usefull
Vale Planwithmama Thank you!
Wow, all I’m going to comment is WOW!
This was really great! I would love to "see" details. I think you should create your own Heart breathing or planner package with stickers and all. That's SO organized!
Oh, and 5-figure word count in a day??!!!! Incredible!
What a fantastic video!
Thanks so much!
love both your channels! can you please do a detailed "how to write" kinda series, which covers all aspects of writing a book.. from brainstorming to plotting to character profiles to first drafts and edits etc... would love to see them! and cant wait for you to launch your writing course!
Suneeta Mithani Thank you!! And I'll be starting my plotting series this week, so make sure you keep an eye out for it!!
Heart Breathings can't wait sarra!!
Very interesting, thank you.
I loved your video. It was incredibly helpful, the way you plan is very cohesive and the travelers notebook is much more inclusive than an actual agenda and similar to bujo. Do you cover the A5 notebooks yourself of did you buy them like that.
Hi Sarra, great videos. I'm curious where you got the clear plastic notebook covers for the four separate notebooks. Would you mind linking to those as well?
I love the way you track your word count! Thanks for sharing your planner with us!
Wow that's amazing! I really like how many notes you take. Do you have any tips for note taking?
I have began 3 books and published none. I get stuck at 90% when everything is all over the place and instead of editing I just start a new book. How do I self publish?
CDGMR1 That's such a tough question to answer in a comment! There's a lot that goes into self publishing, but basically you would set up accounts at each of the major ebook sellers like Amazon, edit and format your book into an ebook and upload it for sale there.
Try uploading it on wattpad to get great user feedback on your stories
I've recently started looking at notebooks like this and was wondering how much these normally cost? I've seen really cheap ones but do they start to add up in price?
Your notebooks are so cute! Where did you buy them, if you don't mind me asking?
I love your videos. Very helpful. If you can do one on a series bible, that would be helpful. I've tried and excell spreadsheet, but it's not convenient to use.
Jacki Kelly That's a great idea! I actually use a private wiki, and it's been working great for me. Might be time to do a screen share and show what that looks like. Thank you for watching, Jacki!
What is a wiki?
Jacki, it's just a website where you can organize your world and information and tie pages into other pages. Just like Wikipedia, but mine is private so no one else can see it. It's hard to explain without showing you, but it's been amazing for me in terms of keeping my world organized and easily searchable.
I would love to see that. I use google slides. But having something like a wiki that's searchable and linkable. I'm intrigued. I'd love to see that and how I can create a private wiki for series and worlds.
Awesome, thank you, KD! I will definitely add it to my list to show you guys.
I was trying to purchase the same hobonichi planner and your link is to a trace children’s book...
Hey Sara, could you please link where you got your Darcy notebook cover? I'm in the UK and can't seem to find it. Thank you!
I don't think she's still carrying this particular TN anymore, but I got it from Chic Sparrow. She does have a black one in Creme leather but it's slightly different. You could email them and ask what would be most like it! chicsparrow.com/collections/creme/color_black+size_a5
@@HeartBreathings Thank you so much! I'll check it out! I've always just used a regular daily planner, but now I have like four planners and I don't like any of them LMAO. So, I'm finally starting to put them together like you do and am finding your videos super helpful
How do you make those icons? What is the tool you used? And what do I need to order from Etsy? It's beautiful, your notebook, but I am not familiar with icons and creating stickers. Would love to see a video on that.
MsChicoro Thank you! To make the stickers,. I bought the digital graphics on Etsy, downloaded them, and then used a Cricut cutting machine to cut them out. The machine is pretty expensive, but I had gotten it for Christmas one year so decided to use it for stickers! If you don't have the machine (can also use one called a silhouette), it's much easier and less expensive to just look for stickers you like and buy them directly.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.
Can you please update this?
What size is your TN?
Andrea wilkins It's an A5!
Heart Breathings do they sell them to fit b6?
They do! Go look at chicsparrow.com I know they have a size guide.
Being that "too well organized" doesn't sit well with me. Being partially organized helps, it gives me the mental space to relax and not be so uptight.
