I am so sorry you lost your son. I think you are helping so many people by sharing the hard stuff. It makes you so unique and special in this online world of “perfection.”
I’ve been using a planner for 3 years and have never done currently pages. This video has convinced me to try them. What a great way to look back at how life changes. I think there’s a lot of insight to be gained. Thanks Mary Ellen! Your planning style is always growing, just like you.
This was so fun to see. I remember you creating so many of them. I hope this flip through reminds you of how strong and perseverant you are. There is hope and gratitude on every page. ❤
Love seeing all your planners throughout the years, but I do understand how grief can just stop you dead in your tracks and can take years to get back to your "normal self". But you seem to have come so far well done.👏👏👏
I really like seeing how your creativity evolved over the years. I’m a rule follower and it’s challenging for me to change things up, but watching you has inspired me to think outside of the box and make the pages my own.
That was fun seeing your range of currently pages. I have to say I thought even the pages you didn't like so much, I liked. LOL. That's how much I like you style. Once you got to the blank currently pages your creativity really exceeded and that was so fun to see. You are right - it's documenting life...good and not so good. Thanks for sticking with us (and inspiring us) through out it all.😊🙃😊
I did all my Currently Pages.. I did the Currently Prompts till this Year. I just decorate the page now and put in comments. It's fun. I did my 1st spread with Doodled Boxes. It's different, but fun. I'm not as good as you though. Lol
Hey, I made it on your planner as a comment that made you smile! I'm so happy I made you smile, Mary Ellen! And I still mean what I said 2yrs ago about your creative prowess! Thank you 🙂
I love all your currently pages! I admire you so much. You've been through hell and I appreciate you being real and honest in your journey. I am so sorry about all you've been through. I have a close family member that is a S attempt survivor, so I don't know what you've been through but I was so close to knowing and I can imagine the pain. I love your channel, it's probably my favorite channel. And I wish you nothing but happiness. REally, I do.
Hi! Thank you for taking us back down memory lane. I realized I've been a subscriber since covid 2020..2021 and continue to watch. ❤ I sometimes still struggle with my current pages, but it's getting better.
I am just like the last commenter. I have been a planner for years but have never completed a currently page. Now, I want to try it. Thankfully, we are at the end of the month, so the next currently page for me is this week. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thanks for sharing. I have been following and watching you since 2019😮. You honestly taught me how to decorate amid use currently sheets. Love your creativity and use of different mediums. I never did until I started watching your channel. They are still hard for me, but I love them. ❤
Many thanks for sharing your 'Currently' pages. Sometimes I filled them out, sometimes l don't. I've lost so many close family members lately (dad; only child; 2 brothers; 2 cousins), that I'm just stuck in grief. Watching your videos have been such an inspiration to me. I need to get back on the horse and push myself a little more because life goes on...
Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve been feeling a little repetitive in my currently pages and I appreciate the fresh ideas from some of your older planners (fresh for me 😂). I am always amazed by your spreads. ❤❤
This was one of the best planning videos I’ve ever watched. Your vulnerability and honesty was fantastic. Thank you for letting us into your life that way and sharing yourself. Grief is so heavy, but you didn’t let it defeat you. I’be been writing about my mood each month and giving an overall summary of what’s happening in my life. I’m hoping at the end of the year I’ll have a map about things that trigger me, make me angry, but I’m really looking for all the things that make me happy and bring me joy. ❤️
seeing the old stickers from 2017 and so on is soo crazy because i’ve had those sticker books since then, and i now use them. so ironic. i’m like, that looks familiar!!! hahah
Thank you for this. I like looking back at my planners. I use this page for a summary/highlights for that month. I like to be able to go back and find important information if I need it. What my adult kids were doing, medical stuff, movies we watched etc.
I truly enjoyed your flip through. It's wonderful to see how your planning style has changed over the years. Congratulations on wanting 20K subs to having almost almost 80k subs now! 🎉😊 And Bumble's grumbles sounded so cute! 😅
I like the different ways that you did the currently pages. Not the same styles. This gives me ideas the to switch up on doing my currently pages. Be creative.
I was trying to remember when I started watching your videos. Now I know, September 2020. As soon as I saw that currently page, I remembered that card “The Right Place”. Where did the time go?
I love this video sooooo much! I go back to your old videos all the time...especially watching your currently pages. Thank you Mary Ellen! You brighten my days!
You have gotten better at straight lines and where you put things but I like all the pages you make and i am glad you share your life nice to know there are normal people in the world that have problems live their lives and try to move on and be happy as they can be even when the road gets bumpy
I think you are missing pages because you 15:06 cut them out to use on Aprils currently. How do I know this you might be asking…? Well because I have your channel on repeat. 😂😂😂😂😂
I can relate to you. I am having a hard time getting back into journaling,etc... this Sunday is one year after my son's death. It is hard to get back on track.
Since I tend to put overwhelmed in my planner a lot I did ticks for each time I saw it on your currentlys lol 6 was the number so not as much as you might thing 😁
I typically capture the following on my Currently Page: - Reading - Watching - Learning - Excited About/Looking Fwrd To - Eating And just added for July “Challenged Myself To…….” I’m thinking of moving changing the Month at the top of the Currently Pages to read the previous month because they seem to be more of a Summary of the previous month to me. Am I wrong?
I just keep it as the month that’s there and I know that I’m consistent in filling it out right before the month begins. It’s up to you how you’d like to do it! You certainly can switch it if you want!

Thank you for saying that
The one on the thumbnail with the mosaic will forever and forever be my most favorite spread I have ever seen!
Thanks! I loved that one too 🥰
Watching this video makes me want to do a currently pages from here on out.. I haven't been doing them. lol

Just want to tell you one more time that I admire you, Mary Ellen ❤ You’re giving me so much inspiration to create and live in general 😊 Thank you!!
I couldn't agree more.
She was my first youtuber I have watched on planning and follow her faithfully. Loooove her.

Thanks for sticking with us (and inspiring us) through out it all.😊🙃😊
I use abstract open-ended prompts like “Dreaming of,” “Hoping for,” and “Current Challenges.” These are fun to look back on!
I did all my Currently Pages.. I did the Currently Prompts till this Year. I just decorate the page now and put in comments. It's fun. I did my 1st spread with Doodled Boxes. It's different, but fun. I'm not as good as you though. Lol

Awww how sweet that you saw it years later ❤️ thank you!

I’m so sorry for your losses. It’s really hard. Therapy helps
I love all of your currently. You are so creative and your pages are always so much fun and full of ideas.
So fun to watch and see your different designs. I enjoy creating my currently pages, the design ideas are limitless.
Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve been feeling a little repetitive in my currently pages and I appreciate the fresh ideas from some of your older planners (fresh for me 😂). I am always amazed by your spreads. ❤❤
I remember those life like flowers in 2019, they were terrible lol. I hated them too. It's so great to see how far you've come.

Thank you. Yes, by doing so you can see patterns

I love your planner style journey and purple nails.
Love looking at your currently pages over the years! You are so creative!

This was fun to see! I liked watching your styles evolve ❤
I have never done a currently page, but after watching I definitely want to start. Thank you for the ideas!
I truly enjoyed your flip through. It's wonderful to see how your planning style has changed over the years.
Congratulations on wanting 20K subs to having almost almost 80k subs now! 🎉😊
And Bumble's grumbles sounded so cute! 😅
How fun! I remembered so many videos. I think I've been following you almost from the beginning.
Loved the walkthrough of all your currently pages.
I like the different ways that you did the currently pages. Not the same styles. This gives me ideas the to switch up on doing my currently pages. Be creative.
Enjoyed watching your currently pages over the years. This is something I am considering on doing. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this video. I’m pretty new to planning/journaling and I have a hard time with the currently pages.
I was trying to remember when I started watching your videos. Now I know, September 2020. As soon as I saw that currently page, I remembered that card “The Right Place”. Where did the time go?

Beautiful Spreads !!!

😂
You know me better than i know myself 😂
Loved this flip through! Thank you
This is gonna be AWESOME!
I can relate to you. I am having a hard time getting back into journaling,etc... this Sunday is one year after my son's death. It is hard to get back on track.
Take your time with it and only come back to it when you want to. No pressure, have compassion for yourself. I’m so sorry that you know this pain.
I'm not very creative in the currently pages. It's more functional, you know budgeting, birthdays, Monthly Goals and Don’t Forget... Kind of things 😊
That was fabulous!
I miss those types of currently pages that had the prompts already written down!!!
Since I tend to put overwhelmed in my planner a lot I did ticks for each time I saw it on your currentlys lol 6 was the number so not as much as you might thing 😁
That’s good to know! Thanks for counting
I wish they would go back to the old currently page style from 2018/2019.
I typically capture the following on my Currently Page:
- Reading
- Watching
- Learning
- Excited About/Looking Fwrd To
- Eating
And just added for July “Challenged Myself To…….”
I’m thinking of moving changing the Month at the top of the Currently Pages to read the previous month because they seem to be more of a Summary of the previous month to me. Am I wrong?
I just keep it as the month that’s there and I know that I’m consistent in filling it out right before the month begins. It’s up to you how you’d like to do it! You certainly can switch it if you want!
I DO NOT like those real flower stickers. Those in particular are my least favorite of all time I think.
