Amen! When I first got into planning I was soooo overwhelmed! Went on KZread and thought oh wow! So much creativity. Where do I write? Sticker galore! Love the fact of keeping it simple to be more productive. I feel as tho I’m already growing out of HAppy Planners. Thinking of EC now. Love your video! Thank you for sharing.

actually what I needed to hear, why are other people's videos like 40 minutes long? if I had 40 minutes I would not need a planner.

Yes! For fear of messing it up or bad handwriting I don’t write in it and keep everything in my head. Adds stress and disappointing that I’m wasting the planner!

@ danidah It’s a real thing right? Remind yourself, every page you leave blank is $$ you spent but threw away unused. I strongly dislike wasting anything, so saying “used imperfectly is still SO MUCH BETTER than wasted perfectly” is a big incentive for me. Grab a pen in your favorite color and just start jotting down any old thing that comes to mind. Big and little, print and cursive, scrawled and sloppy, just get it onto the paper! Good enough IS GOOD ENOUGH. 🤩 As you finish tasks, cross them out with another color. At the end of the week, pat yourself on the back for all those checked off tasks and enjoy your abstract artwork. You’re gonna love that planner! 💜

I have a on the go planner that's written in all over, plans, notes, very little decorating (mini. Then I have a memory/journaling one (classic) that is very decorative. I write what I did that day. On the monthly view I put my plans. If I didn't have plans I use a motivational sticker or 1 that spoke to the day or theme. On the daily pages, I will journal about the day...this one is not "messy" and you use the mini to keep track in case you don't feel like journaling or decorating that day/week. Sounds like a lot, but it's actual relaxing.

I have dropped planning channels because their “plan with me” was actually “decorate with me” and no actual planning happened. I love that you always keep it so practical!

Hello, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know you have changed my life in a good way! Im a retired 62 year old lady with some memory problems. Your suggestions for planner tabs and how to use your planner has really helped me so very much. Im not forgetting things anymore thanks to my new routines! Also your budget advice has helped me learn how to do all my budgeting ( which I had to learn how to do since my husband passed away) so thank you so very much, your videos are so helpful and informative. Some stuff on senior budgeting on a set income would be good too. But you have really helped me so much and for that I thank you.

This is such a helpful video. So many "influencers" are more concerned with aesthetics than practicality on youtube and it's frustrating when you just want to use your planner to be productive and not to be a sticker book. Thank you for these tips, I love the idea of using your side bar to plan the next week or month. That's definitely a tip I am going to use since I always end up not really using my side bars.

Omg. I needed this. I have been trying to do too much like people on KZread and got burnt out on decorating.

I have been experimenting A LOT with organization in the past years: I've finally found the perfect strategy for me and here's what I've came to 1) I have a school agenda where I keep track of all of my school things; this one contains monthly calendars which are extended to every part of my life 2) I keep daily lists prepared the day before and comprehensive of everything I'm going to do down to the detail in a notebook. I'm currently going through random notebooks I've never used so i don't waste anything. This one pretty much serves as a bullet journal since I keep lists of all sorts in it such as projects and things that need to be put in a schedule & stuff 3) to unleash my artsy side I use an actual bullet journal not for planning but as a journal: I write my thoughts, feelings and memories in it almost daily and I decorate the pages with stickers, drawings and nice, curated titles :)

'A messy planner is better than a blank one' oh i'm so down wit that! ty

I wish I had seen your video before I watched all of those decorative planner channels. I got so bogged down with decorating that it became a hassle to pull out the planner. I like your saying "A messy planner is better than a blank one!".

Thanks for the advice. I spent a silly amount of money on all the HP stuff last year. I never got the hang of it and felt like an uncreative loser. New year, let's try again. I am keeping it simple. Your video was encouraging. Thank you for sharing.

I have been doing a split planning period. Before bed, I'm putting my for sure things in my day. In the morning, I finish up with my power word & gratitude, things I missed, and a simple drawing. I draw for my health. I am the kind of person that likes to write my list multiple times so I write in my weekly and my daily because it works for me.

Love your hair... wish mine could look like that, it’s so straight and limp

I only realized having planner out makes me use it more recently. I'm definitely using some of these tips! I never thought to leave a section for next month

I’m reassessing my planner use and this video feels like extra the reminders I needed - especially love the idea of working with my planner while enjoying my first cup of coffee so I can get my day started with intention. Thank you.

I love the idea of having it visible. As well as setting a day to plan for next week. All your tips are extremely helpful. Thanks 🥰

I love this. I stumbled on it when I googled another planning topic. I’ve been planning since kindergarten so I’m a lot more into the functionality of a planner. I’m glad to see you push actual planning vs decorative planning. So many people are falling into the marketing trap of stickers, but don’t realize they’re doing nothing else but putting them down on pages. I started with stickers many, many, MANY years ago, but it was more for reference. About four years ago, I was sucked into all of this other stuff. I found that I was wasting money on all of that, yet, NOTHING was getting done. But, yes, thank you. I love your perspective!

Finally I find a video about how to really use a planner without all the crazy decorating. Great tips. Thank you.

I can’t be the only one that has noticed her gorgeous earrings 😍 I left my planner in the office for 3 weeks & for sure the fact that I wasn’t visible really threw me off. I was winging it for 3 weeks & I’m definitely not doing that again 😅

Thank you so much for making this video, great tips and you hit the nail on the hammer with trying to get your planner to look likes others.

My brand new Plum Paper Planner came in the mail last week. I’m a teacher so I always do a July start for the new academic year. I’m so excited to set it up in some new ways.

Thank you so much !! It was really helpful unnie 💜

Just found you today. Been budgeting since January and finally feel pretty comfortable that I have a good grasp of that...but not so much on using my planner. I'm just all over the place with that. This video alone was simple and helpful so can't wait to dig into some more of your videos. 😊

Enjoyed this video. It's exactly what I needed to hear, just got a A5 planner off of Amazon and went to hobby lobby to buy some inserts. I saw a lot of different stickers and color pens that I thought would be cool to add at some point. Very new to the planner and appreciated you sharing tips.

I love the sound of your voice. It’s so pleasant sounding, it’s such a friendly big sister tone.
