    You're so right! I just stick to what works for me, while staying somewhat open to new things. What I won't do is get sucked into trends and FOMO, even as a shop owner. I have to stay true to myself! 😊

    I have been feeling overwhelmed and definitely bought too much “stuff”. I was spending too much time decorating that I wasn’t even writing things down and actually planning! Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed your video!

    Oh my goodness... I so relate to this! Thanks for the honesty and you are NOT alone! I've been frustrated and spending way too much money and time chasing everyone else. I thought I was flawed, but thanks to this video, I know it's NOT me!! Thanks, I'm going to sit back, take a break and think about what has worked for me and think about how I function! Thanks for the share... and the permission! Glad I searched for "planner peace" today!

    I felt this - I too am losing sight of what is working for me. I have some weeks where I have zero decorations or maybe just a good quote... and I am finding out that those are my most productive weeks! Happy Planner planners are pretty even without stickers!

    • @TheInspireBlueprint
      @TheInspireBlueprint  5 лет назад +2

      Yes exactly! I think sometimes we get caught up in all of the glam but yes the bare bones of a planner is really where the functionality is! I'm so glad you agree.

    @samanthamonique7094 5 лет назад +2

    Thank you for sharing this! I definitely fell down the rabbit hole myself at the beginning of the year with all the stickers and using two planners. It was just too much and so I stopped mid April. I used a to do list here and there but I was so over it. I took a vacation recently and during that time I realized that finding that everything is a process and getting your life in order is forever changing. Doing what works for you goes such a long way. Cheers to finding planner peace 😁

    @princessgigi9866 2 года назад +2

    You are so right. I could relate to almost everything you said. I just fell into the Hobonichi rabbit hole. I was on the website in Japan for an hour. I don’t speak Japanese. What was I thinking . The shipping was in Yen. So the A6 was $79.00 . I got confused it said handing was 500 Yen. SIRI said that was like $4.36. I lick Order. I didn’t realize it was 4300 Yen for shipping. That’s almost $77.00 shipping & handling together. 😳😳 I really wanted this little 5 year planner but I must have lost my mind temporarily.

    Ever since I found the Planner Community on Instagram, I got sucked into the consumerism of it :(
    I recently bought two planner (cheaper ones, luckily!) that I used for one week and realized I didn't like that system at all. Wasted planners, as I cannot use them in whatever way. I tried using them, i really did. But I'm gonna have to throw them away, I don't want them to clog up my shelf when I know I will never ever use them. At one point I was using four planners at the same time, while not having much to plan for (no school and only 1,5 day of work). It was very overwhelming. I'm now going to one planner and one daily diary in July and hopefully that's what will work for me :)
    I agree with you so much!

  • @LidysGarcia
    @LidysGarcia 2 года назад

    I was at that point of so many planners and barely used them, too much. but then found Stalogy in B6 size and ended using Stalogy A5 size and create my spreads and way of planning without the complications anymore. quite liberating.

    I'm getting up there in age and totally ignored this sticker thing but have been planning for ages. It's still difficult to find the right system even without the scrapbooking type stuff involved.

    • @TheInspireBlueprint
      @TheInspireBlueprint  2 года назад +1

      Yes agreed. Don't give up I know you'll find the thing that works best for you.

  • @sekayiperkins7448
    @sekayiperkins7448 2 года назад

    I just found out that there is a planet community and it is expensive as all get out I don’t really buy any planners as much as I like the happy planner only because they have the rings that can open you can take it out and switch out pages. What I decided to do I just spend money on my first planner which is with budget mom and she has pronounce so you can make your own planner using her printouts using a happy planner clips And sheets from other people because from what I found no plan or comes with what I want because I cannot do multiple books it will never get done I just need one book with everything in it flip through the sections and that’s that but this was helpful even though it was three years ago I wish I would’ve found you earlier this year

  • @ronettewinston1706
    @ronettewinston1706 5 лет назад

    I'm with you! It got too be too much and one day I looked up and said "I have not planned in forever". I looked in my planner and realized I hadn't opened it since February! And the Hobonichi Wks......I don't care for. That is one trend I will not be trying. Great vid!

    • @TheInspireBlueprint
      @TheInspireBlueprint  5 лет назад +1

      Ronette Winston yea same for me with the Hobonichi weeks lol.. it’s definitely not for everyone. But hopefully you will get back into planning once you find the right fit 💕

    • @ronettewinston1706
      @ronettewinston1706 5 лет назад

      @@TheInspireBlueprint yes because I truly love planning. Its just like I started tryi g everything. I'm going back to my rings for now. Maybe I'll use a TN again in the future, but not right now.

    I can't follow trends because it's too distracting, but I did buy a disc bound planner I don't even use it anymore. Lol it looks cute on my planner cart, though. 😉 I like my A5 rings: Hobonichi style for lighter weeks and classes and blank columns during my busy times. I hope you can find your way through the noise. BTW, your room looks nice. I'm currently cleaning my sewing room. 😩

    • @TheInspireBlueprint

    Good morning, I had to come back to this video and leave a comment. I am so glad you posted this. I have been thinking about this for about a month now. Your video reminded me I was doing too much losing dates because I was planner hopping. So I went back to the planner I created for myself because it encapsulates all that I want to track in a day. Thanks for the reminder. Still a #DieHardPlannerGirl. 😁
    Loving all the awesome content. Thanks for continuing to share.
    Can you do a video on creating stickers?

    • @TheInspireBlueprint
      @TheInspireBlueprint  5 лет назад

      Latrice Green thank you for your comment and for your continued support! Yes you have to use what works for you and that is what it’s all about! I k ow the struggle of losing dates I had the same issue. And yes I would love to do that! Any specific types of stickers you’d like to see created?

    • @PlannersPursesBooksAndSuch
