Hi y’all! If you are looking for hotmess / totally un-aesthetic planning, welcome home!!! 🤷♀️🤣 I have always loved all things planner and lots of lists. Helps me feel like I have my life together. I am currently using Personal rings. Or anything else I decide to hop into 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm fairly new to this stuff, so correct me if I'm wrong, but you put the rings to Chic Sparrow's B6 Slim yourself, and it works like a personal size planner? Do you mind me asking what the size of the rings you used??
Hi my friend! ❤ I could relate so much to the romanticizing planners…I know right now what planners do not work for me, yet when I see beautiful set ups - my brain immediately thinks, oh maybe…..but no. I like that you have those reminders in your planner.
Hey my friend 🫶🫶🫶🫶 and that’s exactly it! It looks so gggoooddd!!! 🫠
It would be interesting to do a focus on some of your pages and inserts. You could use blank versions so your personal information isn't on display and show and tell how you use it (in pencil😊)
Thank for the idea 💡 I will try to do that!!
Hi Beverly just two quick questions is that a personal planner proper or is it one of your b6s with rings in and you say you print your inserts at what size please and thank you <3
Yes it is! A b6 slim chic sparrow and I print personal inserts at 105%. Gives just a bit more room 🤗
Well I worked all weekend and missed the restock as well. Guess it isn’t meant to be. 😂 also how did I not know about it being stuff your kindle week? I missed the last one. Ugh. I swear. I just haven’t been able to sleep, can’t decide what to track, and can’t decide on a weekly or a daily. I put several in my rings and thought I’d try them out and go from there. I’m in personal wide and I love the room. I’ve spent so much money on inserts because I liked how they looked in other peoples planners and they didn’t work for me. I have to have room to make a to do list for errands and things to clean and do. FOMO is real!! 😂
I only remember SYK when my daughter reminds me 🤣 or book tok 🤷♀️ and the FOMO is totally a thing !
Just found your channel & am enjoying it so much -- thanks much and so v. helpful esp. about FOMO 🙂
Awesome! Welcome to the hot mess!!! 🤗🤗🤗
I love how you have separate lists for high energy and low energy days. I'm a couple years past menopause and I have some days I can conquer the world and turn my house upside down and other days I can't even get out of bed for trying lol I'm going to have to incorporate these lists I think they will super help. Right now I'm trying to decide my system going forward as I've been in an HP mini for the last half of the year but thinking of switching it up since I think I'm getting bored and I miss a leather cover. I hopped into a standard TN chic sparrow artist Vincent and liking that but I think I'm a rings girl as I was in personal for over a year a few years ago. My eyesight isn't what it used to be though and I write a lot more than I used to so I'm also thinking about half letter discs hahaa. I'm a mess but it's fun :)
It’s super fun 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰
It's funny because I saved your video to watch later and them 7 days later I am here watching while I am in the middle of my own planner crises. For me it was the paper and the dot grided printing I was using and now I'm changing things up and feeling a little less overwhelmed 🎉
That’s awesome! I’m so glad it’s getting better. I’m a paper ho.. if the paper isn’t good I’m out! 🤣🤣
pets people and plants alive .. Thats a good thing. I also tend to push through only to feel debilitating anxiety ❤❤ May be i also will benefit to rest and pivot
Some weeks that’s all I have in me 🤷♀️🤷♀️ and most of my people are adults so they can help with the plants and pets 🤣
@@Beverlyplans i love ur content Beverly. I was subbed to you and Kat And it was such a nice surprise to hear you in her podcast ! Love u both
@@tuxedoplanstoday thank you so much! It was fun to do!
Yayyy! You're absolutely right - it is never a failure it is just a way to learn more. I think we learn more from trial and error than not taking risks so it is always beneficial even if it mentally feels like a failure. And YAY!!!!! Thank you for agreeing to be a part of the PR Team I am so so so excited to have you and can't wait for the next few months! SO many exciting things 🥰
I’m ready to rep for the bestest 😆😆🫶🫶🫶
You seem very happy here (in this particular planner and with this setup). I like it a lot!! 🎉🎉
Thank you friend! 🫶 I hope you are enjoying your insta break! 😁
Wow I love that tarot bookmark! Where did you get it or did you make it? 😍
I got it from a local shop in St Augustine but I found it on Amazon 😆 Academia Bookmarks - Tarot a.co/d/5ONKwxE
It will be released on Sunday (July 21st, 2024) .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So great seeing and meeting you. 🥰
🫶🫶🙌🙌
I have trouble with planners that are to complicated, because am terribly dyslectic , and have a learning disability,. Where I cannot think in a straight line, cannot function without writing things down. So I need create a better planner system for myself.But I have been driving myself crazy trying to to to find the perfect planner for me.
The search is so horrible. I don’t say that lightly cause the MH issues and learning disabilities can compound that anxiety so much! Good luck 🍀
You've inspired me to try a simpler setup as well - I'm going to experiment with a compact Filofax and see how it works. Keep taking care of yourself!
I have been eyeing the Filofax! And I watched your mini setup and loved it. That is so pretty. I am considering the personal size 😆😆
I did the same thing with the day designer. Went to target. Looked at it. Wanted it. But it’s too small and I love my weeks. So I really didn’t need it! Fomo is a bitch 😂
It is!! I even had a weeks in my cart for prime days and luckily didn’t do it … don’t mean I won’t just didn’t do it for then 🤣🤣
Welcome back to rings ❤. I think the one book July is pushing me to really figure out what I need vs what social media makes me feel like I need. I am getting close still no real decisions 😂. I do like bound books, but not think books. I also want one day per page. Feel like rings will end up winning.
Good luck! Social media is a problem ! We see the next shiny thing 😆
Thanks for sharing. Can I ask how you got your book cover pics printed?
I print them in my cannon ivy. You could print them on regular paper and just glue them in. There is also a shop that does it. If I can find out which one I’ll tag them.
Hi Beverly! A lovely friend once said to me, "Did you fail, or did you succeed at something else?" Ever since then, I remember this and always feel better when I think or feel I failed at xyz. ❤️ 😊 Have a wonderful weekend!
Exactly 🙌🙌🙌🙌 love it!
If it makes you feel better, I'm just having a breakdown. 😂 My youngest was diagnosed with epilepsy last month, and mom is not ok.
Oh no !! That does not make me feel better 😞 I would be having one to! Hang in there mama 🫶🫶🫶🫶🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've been having massive planner breakdown lately too. I've decided to get back to basics and move back into a Hobonichi Weeks. I'm focusing too much on the deco/aesthetics and not enough on the basic planning.
That me in rings 🤣 I want a weeks to decorate 🤣🤣 then I’ll get tired of the deco and I can’t rip it out. Actually did that once 🫠🫠🫠 bought a whole new one 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Totally agree with you....if it ain't broke, don't fix it! I've also got to get rid of a lot of unnecessary "clutter" in my planner.
It gets so cluttered sometimes trying to put everything in it 🤣🤣
Good morning, Beverly!
Good morning! 🌞😃
Hello my friend🎉🎉🎉 Very nice sharing . Stay connected ♥️🌹👍
Thanks 😊
@@Beverlyplans you are welcome
It's like breaking up with your boyfriend it's not you it's me situation the best I can advise is go back to the bare bones of what you need to function don't burn the house down and be kind to yourself we have all been there ❤❤❤❤❤
🤣🤣 yes 🙌 that’s exactly what it’s like.
I’m so much right with you. I have the need to figure out how to make my planner work for me. I cannot seem to get what I need right if I get the data I hate the layout and vice versa. I want to do a calendar and an Omni journal but no one needs to see my mess while I’m trying to plan I can’t carry my emotional processing with me everywhere it gets ugly
No shame in an emergency planner detox or new experiments! Hoping you feel better about your setup soon 🥰
Thank you! 🤗
I would definitely burn it to the ground and really sit down and dig into what you really want in a planner and how you like to do things. I wouldn't judge yourself over it. Make it a fun discovery of sorts and then have fun making your new system. I also spotted a page in there where you'd noted some tarot cards that stood out to me. It said 'Hermit in reverse, the Sun, High Priestess' that kind of points toward the same thing. At least to me it spelled 'Step out of your comfort zone, shine a light on things and dig into it to figure things out' 🙂
You are absolutely correct 😆😆 we will see what comes out of it but I’m definitely digging in !
You’re not the only one that does this. I’ve been planning for years and have hopped around more times than I remember. I’ve learned it’s only paper and a pen. It doesn’t make people bad even if they waste things. It’s supposed to be an enjoyable hobby not yet another thing that brings stress. I think the problem is the lack of sleep. Personally I get super irritated by everything when I’m exhausted. Just my opinion though. 😬 I found and love your vids recently so whatever you wanna share I’ll watch ❤
Thank you so much and welcome to the crazy 🤪 I will still be sharing no matter the outcome 😆😆
It must be something in the air. After about 3 years of being in my personal and it working, I moved to an A5 at the weekend. Just felt the need.
It’s ok 👌 that’s a looonngg time!!! 😆😆 change always brings a sense of renewal.
This is part of why it’s good to not pre-fill too far into planners or notebooks. If you want to change your layout the next month, it’s easier when it’s not already written in. I’ve had the feeling you’re going through for a while. I’m going to do a rolling weekly / Alastair method Bujo, so far that’s stuck the longest. But I still watch planning videos! Haha
Ya I try not to go too far 😆 I learned that back in my old bujos 😆
I wish stalogy would sell their paper unbound, that would just be so convenient lol. I feel you on feeling like it's too much and being anxious over it. That's kinda how I was feeling prior to June and now I'm only just starting to think about opening mine back up again and getting it ready for August.
🫶🫶🫶 stalogy loose leaf paper would be amazing 🤩 you’ll get back to it 🫶🫶🫶 a break is always helpful!
My bet is hormones , I went through that hating everything about everything for no reason!
I hate it all right now 😂😂
I didn't read the title. I just saw your name and got excited. I think you should ride it out. I wonder if this is anxiety of trying to do onebookjuly. I wonder if trying to put yourself in a box you just pound on the lid to get out, even though the lid was never latched. I love your videos.
Oh that’s probably one of the reasons. I always muck myself when I set some kinda big restriction no matter where that is.
I’ve planner hopped month to month for years. End of March I moved into personal rings and I’ve actually stuck to them. I have ADHD and your videos really helped me figure out how to make rings functional for me . Hopefully you figure it out but your rings were so functional so maybe you need to have a reset and just see what you need and don’t need. 💙💙
Thank you and ADD and anxiety can definitely cause me to just burn everything 😆😆😆 it is super functional tho!!! It is very hard to leave them 🤦♀️🙌
Went through the same thing. Went from a5 to b6, also went from rings to stology type. Now have peace with everything in one book. So i do a new book a month and am loveing it!!!
That’s one of the things with bound books I have anxiety about moving from book to book. I miss that flip and crinkly paper tho 🫶🫶
It’s not a waste if you use the paper. The paper is the value. I go simple and reassess and I go back to basics. I also find just changing it up helps. I also find that when I switch a system it takes two full weeks to find out if a system works. To find my groove and find if I truly like or don’t like it.
As much as I love the deco and pics and stuff. I can’t have all that stuff in my rings. It’s too much and clutters my mind. I can have a small bit for dividing like vellum but not all the things. But I love flipping thru the things. So I setting up a separate rings for that just for the relaxing comforting flips. I’ll be sharing soon well setting up on a video but I’m excited. Gives me the best of both worlds.
Oohhh that’s awesome 👏 I never thought of that. I will definitely keep an eye out for how it goes 🙌🙌🙌
I had just told my hubby yesterday tht your planner caused me a lot of anxiety but tht I loved how you found planner peace in your madness. ... and here we are today. Lmao. I have a very clean planner myself but also my handwriting is very neat. Ive kept the same system for about 9 yrs. I'm not a planner hopper. Lol. I think you might just need a refresher and a new set up, maybe even your paper. I'd love to see your progress. Love your honesty ❤️
🤣🤣🤣 and here we are ! Love it 😂😂 9 yrs is amazing 🤩 I have neat nothing 🤣🤣
Hi!! Don't feel bad i am like that too I want to stay in one planner the entire year but i haven't been able to. i get so anxious about that and i feel overwhelmed .It is a horrible feeling . However I am trying to do whatever i feel at the moment and stop thinking of the reason why i can't stay in one place. There is nothing to feel ashamed of . right now i am using an a6 mottern cover for stalogy but i put rings and i "created " my own size which is personal size inserts downsized 91% and i am loving it ...not too sure for how long tho (because my mind plays tricks all the time abou this ) when i don't like anymore then i will try something else
Yep! Fellow 'Pause gal here and I often feel like shredding my planner in my GAHHH moments even though my planner has brought me peace. I want to burn everything and start over for seemingly no reason, but I never know what that would look like. So now I carry a companion "ugly" notebook for when I want to crawl out of my skin and do something drastic. I dump everything into it before I make any drastic changes and try and work out what I want, what I need, what it might look like, has it worked in the past, did I like it...and on and on and on. Does it always work? No. But I like to think it helps. There really should be a planner support group for us 'pause ladies😅
Yes we def need a group 🤣🤣🤣 and sometimes we need to rise from the ashes 🔥🔥🔥
I totally relate to this video. I currently hate my planner system and I am not using it. I don’t know what is wrong with me
Nothing is wrong with you!!! I think this comment section concludes we all go thru this 🫶🫶🫶
I recently had an overwhelming feeling about my planning/journaling and just had to “down-size” to a minimalist system. I thought I had an easy system before but found I had been adding stuff which after going through and doing my down-size I saw that I was trying stuff but it was just cluttering things for myself which was making my mind cluttered and unhappy. For me, simple and streamline just works so much better for me.
I been thinking of downsizing but struggling with what 🤣🤣
I live the stayology but I need sections and the a5 size is perfect so maybe cut the binding off and throw it in an A5 rings....I would leave the dash boards blank so you can add new stickers as you go. At least that's what I am trying to do
That’s awesome! Thank you 😊 I’ve been eyeing a b6 to cut down 🤣🤣
Bev, I’m right in the middle of my own menty B! My personal rings I think has just gotten too big. It doesn’t help that most of my pages are 32# paper. I need to at least move to 24#. However, my crisis has just resulted in me buying a b6 stalogy and a Hobo weeks mega. I’m going to just keep appointments in my hobo for now and have a simple planner. The stalogy will hold ToDo list and anything else that truly needs keeping up with. I just need a break, change and to calm my mind from too much stuff. Goodbye One Book July. I feel zero guilt….just searching for what I need right now. Thank you for sharing…..I’m not alone now.❤
I hope it helps 🙌🙌🙌 sometimes we need a pallet cleanse 😊
My comfort place is the b6 stalogy. Right now I am again trying to make personal rings work for me. I want personal rings to be my planner peace. But if I’m realistic it isn’t. So I’m struggling to figure it out. You are not alone 🤗
Mine is the opposite 😄 I tried jumping into b6 (which I was exclusively in for years) and hated it 🫠🫠
Hang in there Beverly. Do whatever you want to do. Mental health and just too many choices out there too. We need to figure out what size and things we need. Enjoying watching how you figured out the paper choice you prefer. ❤. Happy Planning always.
Thank you 😊
Girl, you are amongst your people!! I’m only 3 mins into the video but I can totally relate to this! ❤
Thank you 😊
I wish that Stalogy sold loose sheets. Which paper is better, Kukuyo or Tomoe River? The last planner I dropped like a bad habit was my Moterm personal with FCC inserts. It was ok, until it wasn’t. When I’m done, I’m done. Been in Franklin classic and an LV pocket since then. You aren’t crazy and you’re definitely NOT alone. You’ll figure it out.
Omg stalogy loose leaf would be amazing! For me Kokuyo paper comes the closest and is my favorite 🤩
This happens to me all the time! I totally feel ya!
Thank you!
